3 is an odd number (in case you didn’t know!).  Which means every time I cut something in half for my family to eat, it means I have one piece extra.  1/2 a grapefruit for breakfast, means 1/2 a grapefruit left over.  1/2 a cantaloupe to fill with ice cream, means 1/2 a cantaloupe left over.  1/2…well you get the picture.  So I was all over these new Good Cook Produce Keepers that I was sent to try out as part of being a Good Cook Kitchen Expert.

Fruttare.  Have you seen these frozen fruit bars in the cases of your grocer’s freezer section yet?  

I found them at Target, and picked up a couple of boxes with some coupons I was sent.  They come in two different kinds; Fruttare Fruit and Milk Bars (Strawberry & Milk, Coconut & Milk, Banana & Milk and Peach & Milk) and Fruttare Fruit and Juice Bars (Strawberry, Orange, Mango and Lime).  Ends up I purchased them just before some friends came over to visit for the afternoon, and the girls were happy enough to try them out and share their opinions of them.

Did you all get a glimpse of the backyard of the home we just bought?  Go check it out and then come back…  okay, now you know why I’ll have the desire to spend time outside this summer once we get down there!  That huge deck comes with a BUT though, and here it is ….BUT I have to watch my wallet when it comes to decorating and entertaining out there because we ended up buying at the top of our price range.  I’m also feeling a little overwhelmed with getting an outdoor space that large ready to entertain because we’ve been living in a condo for the last 7 years, where our “outdoor space” was a small balcony off our living area.

The other day I shared the Toca Kitchen Monsters app that I found to download, and then it occured to me that you might be wondering how I find free or discounted apps to download.  The iTunes App store is FULL of apps, and being able to try out apps for free or 99₵ is great.  It allows you to find developers you like so that you don’t mind paying for other apps that they make, it lets you download apps for your kids without breaking your budget and, at least in my case, it also lets me consolidate a number of things into one app where previously I may have had two or three apps to do the same things.

Everyone’s idea of success is different.  For some success simply might be little goals that are achieved.  Others might not deem themselves successful unless they’ve moved mountains.  But everyone has probably gotten to their ideal of successful the same way and that’s with passion.  You notice it when you talk to them about their goals and dreams, the successful ones can’t stop talking about what it is they love about what they do.  I find it’s even true with myself, when I’m passionate I can’t stop talking about it and that’s when I feel most successful at what I’ve accomplished.
