Full Disclosure: I received the soup, information and the prize pack you see below from MyBlogSpark and Progresso. No other compensation was given. I recently had a yummy and nutritious opportunity to try out Progresso’s New High Fiber Homestyle Minestrone Soup. I’ve always been a soup lover, especially in the cold, winter months. I don't know about you but for me it’s nice to sit down with a bowl of hot soup and a side of crackers to dip in the soup when it’s cold outside. It makes me … [Read more...]
Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!
January 4, 2010 by 3 Comments
What a year 2009 has been. It started off badly (financially) for the first six months but things started to "look" good in June so I would have to say 2009 wasn't that great. But thank God things got better. As for the blog, things couldn't be better. I've met so many nice people that I now call "my friends" and I'm so glad I have them in my life (you know who you are). Having this blog has kept me sane like you wouldn't believe. Going through financial stress is hard but when you … [Read more...]

Is this our future? LOL Just kidding. After I parked our car at our local mall, we looked back and that is what we saw. My daughter thought the dog was cute so she wanted me take a picture. Doesn't he look like he's driving? :) Enjoy! … [Read more...]
Time To Get Busy!
December 28, 2009 by 4 Comments
It's almost the New Year and with that I decided to make lots of changes, on my blog and in real life. I'm looking into changing the theme/look of the site so it's "clean looking and much more organized". I'm also looking into a part-time job (or full-time, whichever comes first) so I won't be social networking too much but with my iPod touch, I know I'll be in touch with my favorite people, bloggers & of course, Tweeters. And, I'm going to start living my life as a new person. You … [Read more...]

I found this picture just a few days ago. I really don't remember taking this picture but I'm so happy I found it. I must've been 12 or 13 years old so it was probably in 1989. I wish I could remember taking this photo but I can't. At least I have the photo to prove it! From our family to yours, hope you have a fantastic holiday! … [Read more...]
How to make Flan | The Easiest recipe EVER!
December 22, 2009 by 7 Comments
Allow me to be honest here. I used to HATE Flan with a passion. It was either too eggy (yuk, I hate that texture) or too "wet & slimy" - yes that is possible. I avoided Flan like the plague...seriously. UNTIL, an old co-worker of mine taught me how to make Flan - nice, rich and creamy. It is so easy. Here's what you need: Blender Cake pan or a pan large enough to hold the flan A large pan to hold water - Baño de María or Bain marie 1-Can of Condensed Milk 1-Can of … [Read more...]

In the Winter, the weather can wreck havoc on your skin. The dry air in your home and the cold air outside really dries out the skin. That is why we need to use extra moisturizers to keep our skin soft and supple. It also helps if we use the right cleanser for our skin. For me, the right cleanser means a soap that smells great, leaves my skin soft and of course, one that cleans well too. If a cleanser has exfoliators in the product, it's an added bonus because it sloughs away the nasty … [Read more...]

It happens to a lot of us. We procrastinate. We wait until the last minute to buy gifts and then what happens? The hottest toys and gifts are out of stock until next year. So what do you do? You send some gift cards, of course! It's cool because the recipient can choose his or her own gift when that special item goes back in stock. It's a win-win for everyone. You win because you didn't hand them just (even though cash is good in my eyes, lol) cash and they win because they can … [Read more...]
