Protect Yourself From Cervical Cancer

I wished I would have had this information when I ran my Cancer Awareness week at the beginning of August.  I think it’s worth sharing though, even without a ‘themed’ week.

Cervical Cancer is the second most common type of cancer found in women worldwide.  Even some women whose Paps appear normal are suddenly diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer. 

The thing is, it can be prevented.

One answer many people know of already

Nature Made SAM-e Complete

I’m one of those people who gets stressed very easily.  I’ll often have feelings of anxiety when I feel that I have too much to do, or problems arise that are not of my making.  That in turn makes me snap at those around me, and sometimes leaves me with misgivings of my accomplishments.

GIVEAWAY: Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream Bars & Sandwiches

Ice Cream has got to be hands down one of the best foods ever invented.  I ♥ it.  Now that we just purchased a 12.1 cubic foot freezer, I have even more room to stock up on it!  It’s like every other week I see a new kind I want to try.  There are just so many to choose from.

Well Mom Central bailed me out from decision making this week, because they sent me coupons on behalf of Breyers to try out the Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream Bars & Sandwiches.  Well okay they only sort of narrowed my choice down to the brand.  I still had to pick one of the six varieties available.

Share the Table with Barilla

Pasta is a staple in our home.  My family loves to eat it and we have it numerous times a week.  Any shape or size, if it’s a noodle, they will eat it!  Butter, marinara or cheese, if it’s topped with something, they will eat it!

I’m sure you’re aware by now that whole grains are the healthier way to eat.  Whole Grain Pasta is a good way to get whole grains into your diet.  Barilla has a great selection of pasta, many varieties being whole grain.

Dinnertime is sacred at our house.  Everyone is around the table, every night for our meal, which is why I ♥ Barilla’s Share the Table website, where they encourage and help families

Tree Top Apple Cinnamon French Toast

When Amber was in public school and Hubby worked weekdays, mornings were so crazy we rarely had time for a hot breakfast.  Now that we homeschool, and Hubby is home 5 mornings a week, I’m able to make more than just instant oatmeal and toaster pastries if I want.  My family loves French Toast.  I don’t make it a lot though because I think it tastes better when I order it in a restaurant!  I tried a recipe last week for Apple Cinnamon French Toast from the Tree Top website, and if I do say so myself, it tasted pretty good.  The fact that there was none left on the breakfast plates when we were done, makes me think

Grilling With ConAgra

One of the reasons I love summer so much, is because it gives me a break from cooking.  Winter lasts so long here, that I am so excited when grilling season starts so I can hand the reigns for dinner over to Hubby a few times a week.

There are so many things one can make on the grill, but a favorite of the kids is always hot dogs.  I don’t know what it is about them that makes them more special than chicken or burgers, but it seems that kids prefer them.  Maybe it’s because hot dogs are easy to eat one handed? LOL.  I guess that frees the other hand up to grab hold of that cold drink or brownie!

Uncle Ben’s New Whole Grain White Rice Giveaway

Here are some facts about Uncle Ben’s New Whole Grain White Rice:

  • It has the look, taste and texture of white rice, but is packed with whole grains (almost a full day’s worth in one serving).  The reality is most moms have a hard time getting their kids to eat “whole grain” anything (I can’t even get my Hubby to eat whole grains most of the time!).  If they see “wheat, or brown” anywhere on the packaging prior to mom cooking it, they’ll say they don’t like it even before they try it.
