Pillsbury Simply… Cookies Review & Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to try out the new Pillsbury Simply... Chocolate Chip cookies. The wonderful people at MyBlogSpark must know that chocolate chip is my all-time favorite flavor when it comes to cookies. When I received the coupon, I went out and quickly bought the cookies. I was really impressed with the ingredients.  You can read AND understand every word.  And because it has no trans fat, no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.  -- … [Read more...]

Yoplait Fiber One 50 Calorie Yogurt Review & Giveaway for 3 Winners!

A few weeks ago, MyBlogSpark contacted me to try out Yopliat's Fiber One Nonfat 50 calorie yogurt.  I was excited to try it because I love adding yogurt to my smoothies.  And since I'm not the healthiest eater, it makes me feel like I'm doing a good job in eating right.  The only thing about yogurt is that I don't really like yogurt if its eaten with a spoon. Yea, I know it sounds weird to write a review on Yogurt but it MUST be in a smoothie in order for me to enjoy it. I have no idea why; … [Read more...]

There’s Alot of This Going Around…

--Being a bad and/or an absent blogger. Yup, that's me.  But I don't think I've been that bad. I haven't been blogging because I've been sick. I hate being sick. I have Hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid gland.  It basically means that my thyroid is producing an excessive amount of thyroid hormones that circulate in the blood. The medication that I was taking wasn't working properly and I had no idea.  I knew something was wrong because I felt exhausted all the time, my hands … [Read more...]

What Would You Think?

Yesterday I was listening to the radio while driving and someone called the radio station asking for advice.  The woman that called stated that she met a guy at a fitness club and they've been dating for a few weeks. They started getting kind of serious so she asked him if she could go to his place to "hang out". He told her that he lives with his mother so it wouldn't be a good idea because he doesn't want to upset her.  He also told her that his mother doesn't even like it when he closes … [Read more...]

The Day That Came Too Early.

August 18, 1994 That is the date my father passed away.  15 years ago. I still can't believe he's gone.  No one knew it was coming; it was a very sad surprise. He died exactly one week after we came back from Orlando, Florida. A vacation he planned for a couple of years for my sister and I. After his sudden death, the whole family was stunned.  We couldn't help but wonder why he died so suddenly.  It turned out after his autopsy, he had diabetes.  No one knew.  He probably didn't know … [Read more...]

I’m A Mean Mom!

Yup! That's what my kids think (& say behind their breath) by they way they huff and puff when I tell them to do chores and stuff around the house. You wanna know what I make them do? Here's the list (and it's not every.single.day!): I make them brush their teeth. Take showers everyday (if I'm lucky!) They MUST clean their own rooms. My son (12 yrs.) has trash duty everyday! My daughter (10 yrs.) clears the table every nite (if I'm lucky!). The older two takes care of the … [Read more...]
