I couldn't believe when I received the email fromLeTop. It said, "Congratulations on your recent win on your favorite mom sayings" I was so excited! It was a secret Twitter - only contest and I decided to enter just for the fun of it. I sent them what I usually say to my family. I had no idea I would win although I was hoping to. I was so glad I entered. It all started several years ago when my son couldn't find something in the refrigerator. I forgot what it was but I know it was … [Read more...]

May 18, 2009 by 3 Comments

There's about 20 studies out now that coffee, both regular and decaffeinated, lower the risk for Type-2 Diabetes. Other studies show that coffee may also lower the risk of Cancer, Liver Cirrhosis & Parkinson's … [Read more...]

He usually watches it when the kids are in bed and I'm on the computer because sometimes those people on that show are just plain dumb, I can't bear to watch it. Other times, I can't help but watch it because it is so damn interesting and entertaining too. This particular episode had us both laughing so … [Read more...]
