Not much time for blogging today but wanted to share my latest discovery with you. I recently tried T Marzetti’s greek yogurt veggie dips… The come in five or six different yummy flavors and most ring in at about 60 calories per 2 tbsp serving. If you are like me, it’s hard to eat anything […]
Okay… So you know how people who are trying to quite smoking use the nicotine patch or chew on some nicotine gum. Well, in this afternoon’s Wegman’s adventure (and I do mean adventure complete with the hubs and both kids) I discovered Mi-Del Chocolate Snaps; the perfect solution for recovering oreo addicts gone calorie counting […]
As a frugal mom, I have been entering sweepstakes, online contests, and blog giveaways for quite some time now. I have entered for everything from cars to concert tickets to free boxes of cereal. Even though I seemingly never win, I continue to enter, thinking maybe this time will be the lucky one…. Just when […]

So, it’s been a minute since you’ve heard from me. One part because we’ve been crazy busy with my husbands recent job search to improve our QOL, countless birthday, holiday, graduation, end of year parties, and our latest hobby, camping… And one part because of the embarrassing mix of junk I’ve put into my body […]
After yesterdays chocolate fondue binge in honor of Mother’s Day with a moms group I participate in that is housed at our church, I found myself remembering and dwelling on (nearly beating myself up over) an old weight watchers QOD (question of the day). “ When is the last time we’ve socialized without food?” I […]
Despite the lack of sleep, super heavy meals, sparatic rain showers, missing my own kiddos like crazy, and my coming home to a lack of hotwater (don’t worry… 300 dollars and 48 hours later, warm water has been restored in our home) the weekend retreat was a BIG success! Most of the 50-some kids arrived […]
