I posted a few days ago about how my kids love granola bars, but I'm afraid they have now become granola bar snobs, thanks to Kraft's new MilkBite Granola Bars! To be honest I can't really blame them. After tasting these moist and chewy granola bars it's hard to imagine going back to the dry crunchy bars we were accustomed to. Kraft Milkbites are bursting with flavor from the first bite, and it's hard to eat just one :). The thing I love about granola bars is that they make my … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of checking out a nice pizzeria right here in Sanford (I know right!). I don't know how I missed this place, oh wait, I do...they are in downtown Sanford. I never go downtown, but I'm so glad I did. I think the coolest thing about this restaurant besides the food, is it's character. I love how they converted the huge safe into a wine cellar, and brick walls in a pizza restaurant just feels right. The style of the restaurant is relaxing, yet classy. It … [Read more...]

As you know (because I write about it often), we all suffer from Eczema and it is worst during the winter months. I had actually forgotten until last month just how bad it can get. Living on the Gulf Coast had all of us a little more spoiled than we realized. Now that we are back in NC, my sons have been breaking out on their legs, and it was pretty severe. My youngest son John, had it so bad I thought I was going to have to take him to get prescription meds, to clear it up. Fortunately, we … [Read more...]

  I have family members and friends who have had diabetes for years. Honestly, up until recently I never understood what all the fuss was about.When I was growing up, I remember having a few friends who's diet was a little different, and they took shots but I didn't understand the significance of having diabetes.   A few years ago, one of my close friends was experiencing diabetes symptoms and I remember how she stressed over getting her results back. When the tests came back they … [Read more...]

We had so much fun on our recent shopping trip to Sears. We were in search of the perfect decor for our front yard (well porch) and I wanted to stay within my $100 budget. I usually don't get a lot of decorations for outside, because they are just so expensive. On the way to Sears I told my husband that I was unsure what I would be able to come up with on a $100 budget, probably nothing more than a metal Christmas tree, and some window clings. Much to my surprise all of the Outdoor Holiday … [Read more...]

I was so excited to get the chance to throw a movie/dental care party through Mommyparties a few weeks ago. My kids are huge fans for brushing, flossing, and using mouth rinse, so I knew this party was right up their ally. Then when I found out we were going to be showing Cars 2 I was even more excited because every child in attendance LOVES Cars 2! We started off by having a meal, and talking about the importance of healthy teeth for a healthy life. One of the things I have always … [Read more...]

I'm not a big fan of frozen meals like Healthy Choice because they usually claim to be good for you, and they taste like crap. Sorry, but that's the truth. That being said, I have not had a meal from Healthy Choice since I was a teen, so when I found out Healthy Choice had teamed up with Bravo's Top Chef I figured I'd give the new meals a chance. Today I ran to the store to see what varieties they had available and they must be pretty popular because they were out of all but two … [Read more...]
