My daughter isn’t one who likes to have “pretties” done up in her hair, but over the years this mom has found a few ways to get the satisfaction of doing “girly” things to it even if it hasn’t meant big pink bows.

Three mornings a week the Honey Nut Cheerios make an appearance on our island counter top.  My husband started eating it when his doctor informed him his cholesterol levels were rising.  In an effort to try and get them down himself, he decided to try eating Honey Nut Cheerios.  Who knew that he would actually LIKE them?  Then our daughter started eating them. 

Triple Double Oreos can be described as genius.  If you like the chocolate stuffed Oreos, but you also like the original creme Oreos then you’ll love this cookie!

There are times that I feel like snacking in the evening when I want the salty taste and “crunch” texture, but don’t want foods like potato chips or pretzels.  Something that’s relatively healthy is a plus too, especially if I’m tracking nutritional requirements.  Enter Wheat Thins Crunch Stix, a perfect snack for just those times.

There are a number of cultural differences between Canada and the United States, one of them being iced tea.  Ask just about any Canadian about their first experience ordering iced tea in an American restaurant and you’ll probably hear a similar story, something like “it’s just COLD tea”!

Back in June we did some science experiments for homeschooling and for one of them I needed some baby food jars.  With no babies in the house, I went out and bought six jars of baby food, just for the jars…

I actually thought the flavors out with some premise that I “might” actually use the baby food in something, and one of the varieties I purchased was mango.

Nine years ago I embarked on a journey that changed my life; when I saw a friend’s weight loss, I jumped on the bandwagon to lose weight, and haven’t looked back since.

I lost 30 pounds using a weight loss program, exercise and a lot of determination. I will admit that it wasn’t fast, but it was a safe way to lose weight.
