I was out of town

I got back in town tonight from a trip back to Utah to visit family. I'll write more on that later. But I'm just here to say...I'm back! Sorry I haven't written much...there has been soooooooo much extended family drama...which I WON'T bore you with, no one needs to read that...I've been too worn out from crying to write tonight. And I don't have a Sony VAIO or anything and my mom's computer is broken so I couldn't write while I was gone (those two short posts before this one...they were auto-posted for me, I didn't have time to write longer ones before I left, lol). But the trip was fun and it was just me and my 4 year old, she had a blast and is so sweet. My 2 year old stayed home with my husband and they got to bond a bit. She's such a mama's girl, this was a good thing.

Winners coming

I'm not going to be around for a couple days, but when I'm back I'll announce some winners.

Friggin' Spam Comments

ENOUGH!!!! Lately I've gotten more spam comments than usual. I just want to say...they're obvious, they're lame and I don't like them! That is all.

Clip these coupons for Nature's Peak and more

I've been on a quest recently to find as many coupons as possible, well, for items I use anyway. There are plenty of coupons out there and I was sent an email today telling me about a coupon for Nature's Peak, but when I typed in my zip code the coupon wasn't there. But not to worry, plenty of other coupons were there. In fact, I found 11 that I printed off for future use. Just click HERE and you'll be on your way to printing coupons you can use! Maybe the Nature's Peak coupon will be available in your area. Happy coupon hunting!

A little too up close and personal

Hiya! So, I realized this morning that I hadn't written over at my Bye Bye Fat Mom blog in a month. That's pretty telling about how I've been doing physically, isn't it?

So I wrote this morning, it's a LOT little too up close and personal, just a warning. But I wrote...if you're interested you can click the icon in my left sidebar, or the link in the paragraph above or here. Look at that, I made it easy for you to get embarrassed. Aren't I so nice?!?!? ;)

Special K Fruit Crisps & Low Fat Granola Cereal

Recently our family was the lucky recipient of a box full of Special K goodies. We got samples of their new Fruit Crisps in both yummy flavors and boxes of their new Low Fat Granola. We really enjoyed them and I'm happy to tell you what we thought.

The first thing we tried were the Fruit Crisps. I was running late getting lunch made and the girls were getting whiny because they were hungry. I broke open the strawberry flavor and gave one to each of them. A few minutes later they were begging for more, so I gave them each a blueberry flavored fruit crisp along with their lunch, yes, I'd finally finished making it. They loved those as well. Over the next couple days they gobbled up the rest of these fruit crisps minus one of each flavor that I sneaked out to make sure I got to try them. I too thought they were a nice tasty snack.

These Fruit Crisps are low in calorie too. Each flavor came with 5 or 6 (I honestly can't remember) packages with two fruit crisps each. Each crisp has only 50 calories, so each package is a 100 calorie snack. Not too bad when you have a sweet craving and don't want to ruin your diet.

Lately I've seen a lot of commercials for the new Low Fat Granola that we got to try. I wasn't the first to get to try this product either. Without me realizing it my husband had opened a box and had been enjoying it as his breakfast for several days. By the time I went to try it there was only one bowl left! Good thing they sent us more than one box so I could have it again. Hahaha! I thought this granola had a nice light taste. My favorite way to eat granola is with a little bit of yogurt. I think the yogurt adds a sweet punch to the slightly savory taste of granola. But it's good alone with some milk as well.

This tasty granola packs a fiber punch with 5 grams per serving. And it only has 3 grams of fat in that same serving. So it's a great way to start out your day, well, at least in my opinion.

Thank you so much Special K for letting our family enjoy your new products!
