Life

The last month has been an eye opener for me. An old friend unexpectly had a brain tumor removed. An old friends dad passed . This has made me stop to think. Life is short. Make that call. Say those words. Reconnect. Before it is too late. We are not immortal. One day we will all meet again. But until then make the most of your life and don't forget to keep in touch.

The MOST important meal of the day!

Guilty as charged! I never eat breakfast but it is the most important meal of the day!

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets. Other cereal benefits:
Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets.

Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today.
More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures. Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness. Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals.

My friends at MyBlogSpark and General Mills sent my coupons to try out some of their cereal. We are sold. My kids love it!

WIN - Litte Miss Matched Baby Socks

I received the CUTEST package in the mail yesterday from my friends at LittleMissMatched!! Oh my Ashlee will look SO cute in these I thought. And was I right!!! Carson has some of these socks too for older children. He loves them because they don't have to match and that is often the truth when you go to look for socks, eminently the sock monster or the washing machine has stolen one of the two. Then you toss the one you have left and then the other shows up a month later! What a waste! That is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE LittleMissMatched.

Day 148

Well I have not stepped on a scale. I think it is because I am disappointed I have not lost any weight. But I do feel good for a change. I just ordered dumbbells, a jump rope and a pedometer at lunch. I like going to the gym but since we don't have the funds for me to continue with a personal trainer I feel stupid doing it by myself. I got a great iPod App that I can do at home and still go to the gym once or twice a week for a boxing class and swimming.
So looking forward to keeping at it. IT WILL PAY OFF. I am sure of it!
