Wordless Wednesday --Nomophobia

Researchers have recently coined the term "Nomophobia." The word, an abbreviation for "no-mobile-phone phobia", is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. Whether you fear losing your mobile phone, running out of battery, or not having network coverage, the thought of being out of contact with friends and family can cause anyone anxiety.






OH NO I've lost my phone!!!--"nomophobia-face" #crowdtap fun

Atkins House Party

Its the end of the first month of the New Year---how many made resolutions to diet or eat better??? How many fell off that wagon ALREADY?!?!?!

I made one resolution to make more realistic goals, and I found that I can do that following the Atkins Diet. I was pleased to be a House Party Host  and share this diet with a few friends.I of course has to try out a few meals before so I could share my thoughts on the taste

Hubby liked the bars!

Goodie bags all ready for the guest

served yummy foods from the cookbook like the Cold Roasted Tomato Soup, and the book is full of other great recipes that are very easy to make.

Enjoying the goods

Over all the guest were very pleased with the foods they tried out at the party.We played the  "What Meal Am I " game and the winner got to take home the Quick Start Guide Package. Many of the guest were excited to check out the Atkins online community

some Atkins meals that will make their way into my freezer weekly!

Thanks to the Atkins company and HouseParty  for such great party pack to host a delicious party!!!

UnReal MomMeet Party.

UNREAL is on a mission to “unjunk” the world, starting with candy. It’s no secret that the junk in our food is causing real problems for our families. UNREAL candy is out to prove that our favorite foods don’t need to be made with unhealthy ingredients to taste good. UNREAL candy has taken our favorite candies and re-made them without the junk including no artificial colors,the use of natural coloring makes for some great shades of M's no artificial  flavors, preservatives, corn syrup, hydrogenated oils or GMO’s. There’s  less sugar, and there’s more nutrition. Best of all, they taste GREAT!! I was pleased to host a tasting party as a  MomsMeet Ambassador




















































Few feedback quotes

"truly impressive"

" Candy is never allowed in our home-- UnReal will makes an
 appearance once in a while"

"A treat I don't have to feel guilty about!!"

"The M's will make a nice chocolate pop in my trail mix!"




A huge thanks to MomsMeet for the chance to host this wonderful party. Many Moms had seen the peoduct in the store and were a little leery to buy it --but now it's going on many shopping lists!!

National Hat Day and other fun facts.

Sometimes I feel as though the calendar is filled with a huge collection of bizarre holidays that we don't even know about... but wouldn't it make life more interesting if we celebrated more of them? I'm super thrilled to know that January 19th is National Popcorn Day, February 1st is Bubble Gum day,and I don't mind marking down that May 6th is No Diet Day!




Another fun holiday that is right around the corner is National Hat Day on January 15th.



A day set aside to wear and enjoy a hat of your choosing, there couldn't be a better time to pick out your favorite shape, size, color and style and display it proudly.But just as Valentine's Day is symbolized by the heart and Halloween wouldn't be the same without jack-o-lanterns, Arby's has decided that National Hat Day needs a symbol as well. And what would be more appropriate than paying homage to the iconic ten-gallon hat than by declaring it the national hat of America?

That's right, Arby's is preparing to celebrate National Hat Day in the grandest way possible and has introduced a White House petition to declare the ten-gallon hat the national hat of America. Head over there and sign it to show your support!

When it come to "BLANKIE" my son NOT one to share!!!

PAPA was putting that to the test here =^}

Thoughtful Thursday

Some great quotes just to get you thinking!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. 


No man is a failure when he has Friends.






AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE FOR THE  DAY:


“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get


 run over if you just sit there”- Will Rogers

New Year choose a New Lunch

With the new year around the cornor , many of us will make list of resolutions that will be broke with in the first week. Last year I was inspired by a great article Dr. Oz had in  O one day was Pack a smarter lunch! I've found mine.

I know  this picture I don't looked so thrilled, honestly the first time I was a little skeptical -I've tried a few other "healthy" options before and have been disappointed. NOT with the Healthy Choice Baked line!!!

Also if your a fan of Top Chief you'll be pleased to know there  are Top Chief inspired dishes as well!!!! YUM YUM 

First WW of 2013!!!!

My daughter  in her new glasses

my son saw these at the store and just couldn't resist giving me a great laugh!!!!

Happy 2013!!!!!!!!

Did you make any resolutions????
 I only have one---to make small goals that I can realistically keep through the year =)

If I list a bunch of BIG ones I know I'll never get/keep---I start on a bad foot. =^(

We've  started our kids on chores and in doing so I know I'll have to lead by example-little things that will lead toward a better lifestyle.


HAPPY





HAVE A SAFE & WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!!
