Ten States, Five Days, 1st Step Pro-Wellness Kept Me Going Review

 Fall transitioning into winter was not a good time for me or my family. After ten days on vacation and returning, life spiraled downhill. I found myself drained of energy, beyond what I've affectionately called "chronic exhaustion". My mind was spinning and my sleep was restless. Mounting was the need to drive ten states east, with two children.

One time, while new to working graveyards, I purchased an energy package of "pills" and downed it with a Monster drink. Two hours into the shift I was shaking and a nervous wreck. I prefer to think of coffee as enjoyment rather than to boost my energy--and we all know, too much of a good thing is not really a good thing. Lesson learned from both of these is that it's good to be conscious of what is going into your body...avoid the crash.

So? With all our belongings packed into the back of an S10 pickup, two kids and a dog, I began the journey across the country. My goal was eight hours a day of driving. Get a hotel for the night. Get some rest. Get up. Do it again.

The first day I drove from Salt Lake City to Denver. Far more than eight hours. I was dragging. I was tired. The next morning I was dragging more. Then I remembered I had packed  1st Step Pro-Wellness, a Liquid Vitamin B12 Complex that is stimulant free & caffeine free.

I read the information before I drank up. With real fruit juices--we're talking cherry, passion fruit, mango and papaya, I felt confident that it would be okay to take. As I read more I realized this was a good thing as it also had health benefits. Each bottle contains B vitamins like 6,9, and 12. I know from experience that these help boost metabolism, calm the nervous system and help eyes, muscles, vital organs, hair, and skin.

I was impressed by the flavor. It wasn't bad! Definitely better than other energy drinks and shots.

So from Denver, Colorado, I had the energy to drive to Hays, Kansas. The next morning I awoke and didn't feel like I had crashed. I was still tired, but nowhere near the exhaustion I had previously.

It was nice to have an energy boost without falling victim to the crash and burn. The next day when I started to lag, I drank another one. We were on schedule thanks to  1st Step Pro-Wellness. We celebrated with a splurge of BBQ sauce at Arthur Bryant's BBQ in Kansas City, Missouri.

I loved that there are no adverse effects. I didn't experience jitters, headaches, dizziness, rage. It was just an energy boost to keep me going.  And going we did...through Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and into North Carolina.

I purchased 1st Step Pro-Wellness along the way after finding it to be so helpful.

One of his favorite meals is hamburgers grilled in our backyard. [caption id="" align="aligncenter...

My Precious Kid Child Locator

  Child Locator Alert I've told you my youngest is a Houdini. He has no concept of boundaries, and, more than once, has disappeared sending me into a terror-stricken panic. He thinks it to be a game and his hiding is about the only time he is silent. In April, we were sent a My Precious Kid Child Locator Alert. This adorable Teddy Bear works as a receiver. The Teddy Bear attaches to a shoe, or can be worn as a bracelet. The parent has a transmitter that chirps if your child is beyond the Teddy Bears range of 20-30 feet. It arrived at the perfect time. I was sick, the weather was occasionally nice and Li'l Man was eager to feed his Spring Fever. We experimented with the Teddy Bear and determined it needed to go on his shoe because it was far more difficult for him to remove from here than his wrist. The next thing we did is discuss what to do when the Teddy Bear beeped. I explained that the Teddy Bear would alert me if he broke the rule on where he could be. He didn't belie...
