Did you know that shrimp are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which starve tumor cells and help fight cancer? Yes! Recent studies show that eating 8 or 9 shrimp a day can help reduce breast cancer risk. I'll take it! I could eat shrimp everyday in various ways. Whether it's grilled, fried, baked, boiled, in salads -- I'm all for eating shrimp any day. I'm so glad that Gorton's makes it extremely easy for busy parents like myself to have dinner on the table in minutes. After working an eight … [Read more...]

Learn How to Practice Portion Control On-The-Go!
March 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment
When I'm bored, I tend to snack.....a lot! I also don't always eat the right foods because of convenience and laziness, especially when I’m at work. And the number one thing I do that is sabotaging my diet is that I don't use the right amount of food when I eat and so I tend to overeat (at times) - which isn’t a good thing, obviously. Portion control can be a difficult feat, especially when it comes to busy schedules and always snacking on-the-go. Here are some simple tips from Hershey’s … [Read more...]

March 17, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Let me start off by saying I'm not one of those moms who can make costumes, "foo-foo" outfits or even sew well. I know how to sew but I never liked it. I'd rather give whatever needs sewing to my husband and that's that. Yes, he knows how to sew and sews better than me. Who knew?! But I wanted to do something special for my little one's birthday party this coming weekend. She's the baby in the family and we'll be celebrating her 8th birthday at a local roller rink. I wanted her to look … [Read more...]

But while browsing through my favorite blogs (I have TONS of favorites), I came across a fun "About … [Read more...]

New year, new resolutions - isn't that the norm with practically everyone once the old year is over? I used to make New Year’s resolutions but I stopped. I noticed I wasn't keeping them (it was usually lose weight & eat right) and it got annoying. I was frustrated with myself for not sticking it through so I will not make any New Year’s resolutions. But...... I will say that I did vow to make better choices to start incorporating more fruits and vegetables into mine and my family’s … [Read more...]

March 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
It's finally here! My family and I have been watching previews of Oz The Great And Powerful for weeks now and since we missed an early screening we were invited to, we're planning on seeing it this weekend. I'm a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz so this movie is right up my alley. I remember when I was a little girl, every year I would see it on TV. I would sit still for the WHOLE movie and not say a word. My mother loved it because as I was watching the movie, she was cleaning the house. It … [Read more...]
