Lovin It Thursday: 100 Calorie Popcorn







 

I am in Love with the 100 Calorie Smart Pop! Popcorn from Orville Redenbacher's. After having my second baby six months ago I have been trying to find snacks that I love and won't put on the pounds. When I want a snack I usually gravitate towards salty treats...like chips. Popcorn is one of my favorite treats and this is way better than chips.  I can actually eat this without any guilt, knowing that it's only a measly 100 calorie's that I am consuming. The mini bags are pretty big bags. It's really enough for me to eat in one sitting.

Lovin It Thursday: Super Nanny!

I have a two year old so I am lovin Super Nanny right now!

Click on Jo Jo's picture to check out full episodes of Super Nanny!

Thank you Jo Frost for your wise instruction. I have recently moved my two year old daughter into a toddler bed. I have been dreading letting her out of her so-called 'holding cell' and setting her free to roam our home. The first day was great and then she realized she could get up. Great....here come's the Super Nanny Mommy. After staying up all night with her inching my way out of her room as I pick her up and put her back in her bed, over and over and over agian. She finally slept and has ever since. I don't exactly have someone holding my hand helping me though this thing called parenting, so that long night with my daughter, I kept imagining the Super Nanny there with me telling me "You can do it", and "Don't give up." THANKS is all I can say! Anything to help us Mom's from going bonkers is fantastic.

Lovin' It Thursday: BLURB

Make your BLOG into a BOOK with BLURB!

(Click on each image to view a larger image)

When my daughter was about 2 weeks old, I decided to make a book out of what I was posting on my blog about her. I started at the very beginning...the day I found out I was pregnant!

As you can see, I chose to do a small soft cover book! You can arrange different layouts, colors, fonts, etc. Basically, what you do is download their software program (or you can do it online) and upload the posts you want from your blog. It uploads all the pictures and all the words. Then you go through and edit it the way you want it.  I was amazed at how great it came out.

My next project is to do from when she was an infant to when she turns one. I'm so excited! I wish I had pictures of that book to show you, but she's not one just yet. hehe I'll be doing one every year, so instead of a bunch of huge scrapbooks, she will have actual books of her life to look at!

Lovin' It Thursday: THE TALK

I am officially lovin the talk show, THE TALK.

Click here to see there website and watch episodes, http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_talk

THE TALK talk show is by mothers about mothers. Their hosts are Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, and Leah Remini. I have followed most of these women in there rolls on T.V. They are pretty funny and enlightening. I would love to go and see the show in person. Now that I am a mom I think certain things are really funny that I didn't ever think were funny. And the women on THE TALK, talk about disgusting mommy things, being old and wise, how to take care of yourself and much more.

Me and my daughter at the Walk for the Cure!

THE TALK also promotes a lot of foundations that they donate to. We love to donate too. Please check out the button we have for the American Cancer Society. I have donated for years and am personally motivated to help find the cure for Breast Cancer. My mother in law passed away from breast cancer years ago. The women on THE TALK talk about very important things and all while cracking jokes. I love it!
