My favorite WW-friendly cream cheese has been discontinued.  So have the WW sugar-free candies I loved.  Apparently sugar alcohols are now included in the carb counts for Points PLUS™ so these products are no longer being manufactured.  I didn’t get this from an official source; it’s just a deduction I’ve made looking at the facts. …

I’ll admit it, I’m the last person I ever thought might be able to embrace a primal lifestyle.  Really.  I have been aware of this style of eating since as early as 2004/2005.  I always thought it was crazy. I was raised on Burger King, McDonald’s, Chef Boyaradee, Kraft Mac n Cheese, Spaghettios and abundant…

This post has two parts.  This is the first and the second can be found here. A week ago today (as in last Tuesday) was the two month anniversary of my mom’s death. I got through the day fairly well, likely because it was a busy day between a playdate at McDonald’s (with my fabulous…

I made another loaf of the same honey white I made yesterday but this time used the sandwich setting rather than basic. The results were nice with a finer crumb and more tender crust. Nice! The recipe calls for gluten and I don’t have any–can’t wait to see if adding gluten will make these loaves…

This post is the second in a two-part series.  The first is here. Not long after my mom died, my dad mused that my relationship with my mother had interfered with my relationship with my husband. I knew that was true to some extent, because she really detested T from the moment she first saw…

Amazon has season 2 of Glee for 94 cents an episode, so I’m all caught up now. I guess there will be a couple more this season–so cool how they are available less than a week after they air! I still love the show although I have found the last few episodes to be a…

We celebrate Easter in a secular way and my kids are probably dreaming about chocolate bunnies, soon-to-be-deviled eggs and more chocolate. 🙂  To everyone who celebrates today and however you celebrate it, Happy Easter!!

I was so committed to my Sew-it-All Challenge, I really REALLY was.  I made it to April 18th…I didn’t buy one stitch of clothing for the little kids during all that time.  I had a big elaborate array of clothing planned for this spring and was going to big in as soon as I finished…
