Life Is Meant To Be Shared
Every time my 6 yr old shops with me at Kroger, we make sure to check out the sweet sales rack. This is where they place all their overload of sweet treats including cakes, pies, cookies, bread, etc. from their bakery. As long as you plan on eating these desserts in the next few days, these are great deals. If you know you are having company and will be needing a desert or maybe for a school function or just a weekend of splurging, this … [Read more...]

This summer my family and I plan on doing a lot of walking at theme parks and I am afraid that I may not be able to "hang" with everyone like I did before my knee surgery last year. I workout on a weekly basis to work my knee and also see a personal trainer who sees to it that I continue to work on strengthening those leg muscles. I have been talking to her about my fear of not being able to keep up with my family while on vacation and she … [Read more...]
Who leaves the reminder notes at your house? Look what I found posted on my backdoor in the kitchen when I woke this morning. This note was left from my 12 yr old. He said he got up last night and wrote this note for me. He said he thought about sticking it to my computer, but figured the back door would be the best place. I have to admit, I saw it as soon as I entered the kitchen this morning. So, I woke him up and … [Read more...]

This year for Mother's Day, my husband and the kids took me to the store the night before Mother's Day so that I could pick out some new exercise clothes since I have been working so hard at the gym. I tried on many tops and finally found the brand that fit right and I was set. I always choose to stay home for Mother's Day so we can beat the crowd, so we hung out on our back porch and had pizza delivered for lunch. This was from … [Read more...]
With summer right around the corner, I couldn’t help but dread the thought of packing away my comfy, shape-shrouding winter clothes and bringing out all those revealing pieces that naturally come with warmer days and sunshine. While I love going to the beach or swimming in the pool, I am probably like most women my age in that I’m really self-conscious about walking around in a bathing suit. It’s not like I’m strutting my stuff in a … [Read more...]

I have been thinking of redecorating my son's room and this guest post caught my attention, so I thought I'd pull it out of my email and share it with you: This is my 6 year old's room. The top bunk is for playtime, bottom bunk for bedtime. We all remember our bedroom from when we were children - where we hid our diary, the style of the duvet we snuggled under at night and the posters of the bands and football teams we were infatuated … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day 2012, I just just had a major knee operation, had a broken leg and had to get around on a walker. For the first 6 weeks after my surgery, I spent my day in the recliner or on the couch watching television. We purchased Net Flix and watched tons of movie series. On of our favorite series was Merlin, which should be coming out with a new series any time. This morning as I thought about today’s Mother’s Day meal, I … [Read more...]

Yesterday my son must have dropped one of his gummy bears on the driveway. He probably knew he dropped it and just conveniently left it there hoping the dog would eat it:) Last night it rained and the gummy bear laid directly under the gutter spout. Look what happened to the green gummy bear! He grew and grew and grew!! My 12 year old son picked him up and he was so full and gooey. He thought it was so cool and ran it down to … [Read more...]
I live on low calorie protein bars, bars with high fiber, and energy bars on a daily basis. I am working out and watching my food intake to get myself ready for Summer. I have been testing out tons of different bars and flavors and noticed Bobo's Oat Bars in my local grocery and thought I'd give them a shot too. I contacted Bobo's Oat Bars and they sent me a few samples of their product. Each bar was wheat free, vegan, non GM0 and made … [Read more...]
