A little more about the event:  The Hurricane Tour is comprised of four components: the Junior Tour, the Collegiate Tour, the Amateur Tour, and the Tour Shop (online). Based out of Jacksonville, FL, the Hurricane Tour administers over 150 events all across the country. With three different tours, golfers of any age and skill level are provided an opportunity to play the game.

The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (#HJGT) has been around a long time now. It was founded in 2008 with the intention of providing junior golfers between the ages of 11-18 an opportunity to play exceptional courses in a competitive environment. The tour's vision is to provide superb hospitality and make every event a memorable one. With play open to both males and females, nearly every junior golfer is eligible to participate on the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. Membership for the HJGT is a very reasonable $89.00 and players receive discounted member pricing at each event. Every Hurricane Junior Golf Tour event is ranked by the National Junior Golf Scoreboard (NJGS) and features a chance for players to earn AJGA stars. The top 3 finishers at each event will earn prizes. You can check out the complete list of Junior Tour tournaments too.

They really have something for everyone. The Hurricane Collegiate Golf Tour (#HCGT) was founded in 2011 and is perfect for college-aged golfers looking to perfect their game this summer in competitive tournaments at great venues. Whether you are a collegiate golfer looking to practice during the off-season, a future college golfer looking to prepare for the upcoming season, or a non-college golfer that wants to compete in first-class events, the HCGT is the tour for you! Membership to the tour is absolutely FREE and provides access to all 28 tournaments this summer in 11 different states. Top 3 finishers at each event will earn prizes.

The Hurricane Amateur Golf Tour (#HAGT) was founded in 2014 with the intention of providing golfers of any age and skill level an opportunity to play exceptional courses in a competitive environment, while raising money to benefit the Hurricane Foundation and other charitable organizations alike. In order to play on the Hurricane Amateur Golf Tour, players must become a member for the exceptionally low rate of $25. Amateurs (men, women and seniors) will compete in one of 10 flights based on their handicap, gender, and age. Senior Flights are for players that have turned 50 years old by May 17, 2014. Every tournament on the 2014 schedule will have a unique "Major Championship" feel to it. A special feature of the Amateur Tour is the "19th Hole Dinner," where players will have the opportunity to win raffles, giveaways, and silent auctions.

Gutsy Chewy Supplements Challenge: Support your digestive health

I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet™ program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meets™ blogger, I agreed to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of the product. Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Gutsy Products. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition. This product contains papaya and should not be used by people with a latex allergy. Keep out of reach of children.

Do you  ever ge those uncomfortable belly aches like I do? Sometimes moms and busy women just get digestive health issues from time to time. I am so busy always running. No time to relax. It is a really common problem. I was just reading one of my mom-type magazines that I get every month and there was a whole article on stressed moms and those eternal belly ache and bloating issues.  Even the physician that was consulted for the article that I read said that GI discomfort was one of the most common issues she sees in her practice.  There are some things you can do to support your digestive health though. I recently had the opportunity to review a new supplement that has been working for me.  My new find is called Gutsy Chewy supplements.  It is an all natural product with no scary ingredients too. I have the whole scoop on them thanks to Mom's Meet.

Gutsy Chewy Supplements were formulated by a Harvard trained dentist and Cleveland clinic trained gastroenterologist, Dr. Doug Haghighi. I like that the company offers scientifically proven natural products like Gutsy Chewy Supplements. They were designed to enhance digestive health and maintain oral health. They can be used after eating when you get that Queasy, Uneasy, Refluxy Feeling® associated with common digestive discomforts. I like that all of their products are all-natural and contain a safe and effective supplement dose designed to deliver results. I like that I have been able to stash these in my purse because my job has me on the go all day. I sometimes get some digestive discomfort but what the heck do you do when you got to get to that next client? Now, a few times already I have just popped a Gutsy Chewy supplement and waited a few minutes for some palpable relief. It is a physical and mental relief not to have to stress over my stomach anymore. 

I know you are wondering what they taste like though. They actually taste good!  Gutsy Chewy Supplements comes in two yummy flavors, Citrus and Wildberry.  I like both of them but Wildberry is my fave.  Gutsy Chewy supplements are safe, gluten-free, vegan friendly and lactose-free.  Gutsy Chewy products are all-natural and made in the U.S.A.  I am really big on supporting our economy so I love to buy things that are made by our own hands here in the United States.  

You are probably wondering what makes Gutsy Chewy Supplements work. I was too. I ALWAYS read those labels. So I looked and read the labels and all the information about them. They contain a proprietary blend of apple cider vinegar, licorice extract and papaya extract (GiGs®). Clean,natural ingredients in my personal opinion. GiGs® has been shown to be effective in treating GutBurnand GutBloat.  Xylitol is used in Gutsy Chewy to aid oral health, while calcium and magnesium are included to fortify the bodies stores of these important minerals. All good stuff and no weird chemicals or anything like that either.  They are easy to pop in your purse, tote bag or stash in your desk at work so you can get fast relief anytime too. I will be keeping my own stash of these since they definitely help me.

Gutsy Chewy comes in a handy 8-pack tube that’s easy to travel with. The retail price for Gutsy Chewy ranges from $15.99 to $79.99 (2 - 12 tubes), depending on volume purchased. Each order also has a cost of $4.99 to cover shipping and handling. 

You can find out more by visiting the Gutsy Chewy website or following them on their social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.

My Happy’s Playdate MommyParty #TheHappys

Disclosure:  I received a party pack of information and Happy's compliments of MomSelect and Cepia in order to share via a home party with my guests. My opinions are my own.

OOOh, I just got the big scoop on the hottest new pet toy for the spring and summer.  The Happy's are the cutest, softest little interactive pets that you will ever see.  Cepia LLC, the company that makes those super popular Zhu Zhu pets also makes The Happy’s. Even better, I was super excited to be chosen to host a "The Happy’s Playdate" MommyParty. Have you heard about The Happy's yet? 

The Happy’s interactive toys can make funny sounds, chase the ball, learn special tricks, and more. There are The Happy’s puppies and kittens and your kids will have so much fun playing with their special pet.  Mom (like me) will love that there is no work involved with this pet too!!!


MomSelect and Cepia LLC sent me an amazing kit to have a MommyParty:

  • Four (4) The Happy’s pets, featuring an interactive Happy Treat

  • One (1) The Happy’s Chase and Play Ball

  • 12 AAA Rayovac batteries

  • Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn

  • Craft ideas and supplies

  • Information to share with my guests



We were lucky it wasn’t snowing with the weather we have had here in the mid-Atlantic but it was too cold to have the kids outside much.  I set everything up with The Happy’s for the kids in our play room and had the sandwiches, snacks and drinks along with the Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn  and drinks by the dining room.   I also made a bowl of Puppy Chow with Rice Krispies, peanut butter, chocolate chips and a little confectionary sugar.  You know they loved that too.  The mom’s hung out by the dining room and in the living room for a little rest and relaxation.  


I started them out with some snacks and drinks and they crafted their Happy Ears headbands with the supplies that were included.  They were laughing themselves silly after they finished. They put on the headbands and started running around on all fours barking and meowing.  It was a sight to see.  I figured it was a good time to send them to the playroom to check out the The Happy’s. 


The kids burned up a bunch of energy playing and running around, they came up periodically for air and snacks.  It was nice to hear everyone having such a good time and laughing away.  Bentley the Golden Retriever was the most popular.  I had to refill the drinks they drank so much with all their running around after the Happy's. That Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn was a quite popular too. Several of the kids were begging their moms to buy it for them when they went shopping including mine! The kids were amazed at The Happy’s and all the tricks they could do.  All of the girls (and 2 boys) had never seen The Happy’s before. My daughter had been playing with them for a day or two before the party so she showed them many of the tricks.  It was great because they actually got some darn good exercise running around after those little interactive kitties and puppies!    

The Happy’s are the an amazing line of interactive puppy and kitty plush pets that play, move and can be trained to perform tricks and make more than 25 silly sounds.  Those Happy’s never seem to get tired which means hours of fun for kids.  Those kids went cuckoo with the Chase and Play Ball.  Of course each time the kids came back to the snack area they were telling the moms which Happy’s they wanted as a special present for their good grades, birthday and whatever else they could think of.  Several were extra creative and asked for The Happy’s in their Easter basket! The mom’s loved that one and actually thought it was an easy and fun Easter gift idea. 


I liked The Happy’s because it is the kind of toy that children can play with by themselves or with a friend or friends.  Several of the moms were saying they might get one for Easter and then use the other Happy’s and the accessories as opportunities for good behavior or good grades gifts. Families can slowly build their special collection of The Happy’s.   You can learn more by going to The Happy’s website and you can see all the cutie patootie kitties and doggies up close as well as the accessories.  Target and Walmart for only $19.99 each, and an additional Chase and Play Ball for just $9.99. Let me know what you think of this cute new toy for your kids!

Hyperbiotics PRO-15: The Perfect Probiotic Supplement Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Hyperbiotics PRO-15. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition.  Keep out of reach of children.


I am so busy just like you..between work, kids and trying to squeeze in time for myself. I really work hard to get my healthy meals in along with a good fitness plan but GI issues happen to the best of us. Even one of my super fit fitness instructors recently confessed to me about her frequent gut issues.  It can be very problematic and frustrating to anyone especially when you are a healthy person. I told Miss K that I have been having some good success using this new brand of Hyperbiotics Probiotic Supplement PRO-15 every day. This special probiotic is formulated with very small daily time release pearls. Hyperbiotics has shared that these pearls have the benefit of being 15X more effective than a standard capsule.  I told her that I have not been having any GI issues since I started taking them a few weeks ago.

I like that these probiotic pearls are so tiny and easy to swallow and digest. Literally the size of a pea!  I have definitely seen a difference in my energy and GI comfort. My gut feels relaxed all day even after breakfast and lunch. I eat very healthfully with a high fiber diet and drink a ton of water. Sometimes I think the fiber might be the issue. Who knows, but I know it is good for me.  I like that now that I have included the Hyperbiotics PRO-15 and I feel good all day long. No GI discomfort or bloating and I feel energetic enough to get my work done and get to the gym. That is important since my job frequently takes me on the road during the day but my evenings are still busy.


A few tidbits directly from Hyperbiotics Probiotics about PRO-15:

15 TIMES MORE RESULTS THAN WITH CAPSULES++. With superior patented technology, our living organisms reach deep into your intestinal tract where they are needed most. Our formula will even reach your large intestine. *See below to understand the Science behind the Superiority*

IMPROVE YOUR MOOD AND ENERGY LEVELS. Fatigue and irritability are often a result of poor vitamin and nutrient absorption. Hyperbiotics Probiotics help create a microenvironment inside your digestive system that promotes full mineral absorption so you can finally feel like your happy, energetic and vibrant self.

RELIEVE YOUR SENSITIVE STOMACH. Hyperbiotics PRO-15 is released at consistent levels throughout the day and throughout your Gl tract; whereas other capsules more closely resemble a bomb being dropped in your upper stomach - releasing all organisms at one time, often causing upset such as bloating, gas or diarrhea.

GET + STAY WELL. 80% of your immune system is in your gut, and when probiotics (the good guys) are abundant in your body, it’s harder for the disease causing bacteria (the bad guys) to settle in. Hyperbiotics PRO-15 restores beneficial bacteria for optimal digestive and immune health, helps control yeast and candida overgrowth and promotes daily relief from allergies, gas, bloating and constipation. Life should be easy.

LOSE WEIGHT. New studies show that gut microflora may improve your metabolism and accelerate fat loss. Let’s get your gut back into equilibrium so your waistline will follow.


To learn more, you can take a peek at the Hyperbiotics PRO-15 (2) minute video - http://vimeo.com/87541099.  You can get this high quality probiotic supplement on Amazon and you know it will be at your door in a few days...even less if you have Prime.
