    Parents of Picky Eaters....

    I got a new cookbook called Deceptively Delicious, which teaches you how to puree fruits and veggies and hide them in food. So far, I have put butternut squash in mac n cheese and marinara sauces. I put sweet potatoes in taco meat and cauliflower in mashed potatoes. My kids and dh gobble it up...

    How Many Bad Checks....

    Can one person write? The reason I am asking is because bil and his wife cannot stick to a budget whatsoever!! Bil rides to work with dh and they are supposed to split the gas bill. Here lately, bil hasn't had his end of the bill and dh has to cover for him. That cuts into our budget, which...

    Children's Multivitamins

    Okay, all these years (well, only 7 so far), I thought I have been doing something wonderful for my kids...which is giving them a daily multivitamin. I usually buy a big bottle of vitamins at Wal-Mart called One Source. The other day I was wondering how much sugar is really in one little...

    Car Seat Question

    Okay, I think my son might be done with his booster seat, but I want to be totally sure before I take him out of it. He is 7, weighs around 60-65 pounds and is about 54-55 inches tall (he comes to my chin and I am 5'6). He is in first grade, but taller then most of the boys in 3rd grade. Does he...

    Carbs can cause Cancer???

    Hi....please no controversy here and sorry if this has already been posted. Just something interesting.... Last night on tv, I saw a new book called "Good Calories, Bad Calories". The author claims that 70% of cancers are caused by diet. He suggests a low carb, high protein diet...atkins...

    Is Water Supposed to Taste Like This???

    Here lately, my water tastes like metal. What would that be and is it harmful. My children and I drink a ton of the tap water. I am going to call the company today and complain about it. This morning I ordered a Brita water faucet in hopes of removing whatever is harming our water and making it...

    Another Plastic Bottle Question??

    This all has me thinking about what my family and I use to drink water. We use plastic a lot!!! I haven't looked at the SIGG stuff, but I might get one for each of us. Are those expensive (I would have to buy 5!!!)? Anyway, my best friend just had a baby. She tried breastfeeding; it didn't...

    does everybody here follow a diet?

    I have tried about every diet under the sun. Everytime I do, it never works. It seems I have to make separate food at every meal, which is a pain! Like last night, I made mac n cheese and baked beans (with bacon) as side dishes. Normally, I would skip the mac and eat a tiny bit of the beans...

    wanting to tone but not lose weight ?

    Okay, is it possible to tone certain body parts, but not lose weight? I have gained a few pounds and actually like it. However, there are certain areas (such as tummy and glutes) that I would like to tone. Call me crazy, but I like the "bigger" look; I am just not too crazy about the belly...

    I think I am done with ebay

    Okay, in the past week, I have received 2 knockoffs!!!! One was supposed to be a home interior candle. The candle barely has a scent...even if I burn it for over an hour. Then I received a fake pair of abercrombie shorts!!! Totally fake, but the seller put "brand new with tag" on the listing...

    Relay For Life Confusion...

    Okay, I know this is about raising money, but.....at the event in my county (which starts tonight), they are serving corndogs, ice cream, and lots of "carnival-style" food (that is what is said in the newspaper). Why on earth would a cancer related event serve some of the worst foods? Shouldn't...

    Silly Question

    Okay, completely off topic, but I am at a loss (and feeling kind of stupid)! My son has to complete a summer packet of homework for first grade. We have been working on it and today we are stumped on words that rhyme with fish. We need 3 words, but can only come up with dish and wish. We have...

    American Idol

    Anybody watching??? I am not crazy about it this year....I was hoping for more people like Chris Daughtry..... Anyway, does anybody have any favorites? I guess I am leaning towards the guy that does the beat box thing. I think the bald guy would be good if he would sing better songs. (such as...
