A Little More TMI

December 6, 2011

Being a girl is a pain in the ass. About 12 years ago I started getting hot flashes and my menstrual cycle got all out of whack and the mood swings were ridiculous!  Hot damn I thought, I am going to go through menopause early!  WHEEEEEE!  I was ready.  I was 31 and my kids [...]

Yoplait Light Swap

August 24, 2011

I was invited to a luncheon last week sponsored by Yoplait Light Yogurt.  When RSVP’ing I informed them that I had never tasted yogurt in my life and in fact had an aversion to it.  I guess that intrigued them enough to allow me to come anyways and I am oh so glad it did. [...]

Link to My Heart

June 30, 2011

It was February of 2000.  We walked up and down the aisles of the local pound looking for just the right dog.  They were all so cute.  Adam was 9, Marisa was 13.  “How can we choose?”  “I love them all already” were said over and over by both of them. Then we saw her.  [...]

Silk – 10 Day Challenge

June 17, 2011

Silk Soy Milk asked me if I would do a 10 Day Challenge.  Drink Silk Soy Milk for 10 days and give my opinion on it.  Of course.  I can do anything for 10 days. They were going to send a coupon to cover the cost.  Great. Sidebar: I am one of those review bloggers [...]
