$50 Visa Gift Card Giveaway It's almost 2013! Can you believe it is already here? This year has totally flown by! Anyone have any New Years Resolutions they are planning?

Adding Some Garden with Del Monte #AddSomeGarden

December 28, 2012 by Kat 513 Comments

When I was growing up we ate a ton of vegetables. It wasn't really because my family was health conscious, it was more that canned veggies are cheaper than meat and I grew up very poor. I tried to pass the love of veggies on to my children but it only stuck with one of them. Baby E loves all types of vegetables and many types of fruits.

Edward’s for the Holidays

December 21, 2012 by Kat Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Edwards for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The holidays are my favorite time of the year. I love to eat and eat with no one ever saying anything about your weight or maybe you shouldn't have that last slice of pie. One of my favorite parts is the dessert table. It is always loaded high at my grandmother's house. She loves Edwards Crème pies and no one is complaining on that one! We always have Edward's Lemon Meringue Pie and Key Lime Pie. Both are amazing but the Lemon Meringue is my favorite. I like how crunchy the crust is … [Read more...]
