I'm hearing more and more about people who are on Gluten Free diets and I receive emails from readers asking for more information on saving money on Gluten Free products.  That's why I was so happy when My Blog Spark contacted me to see if I'd be interested in trying some Gluten Free products from General Mills and sharing them with my readers! The box arrived and it was full of some of our favorite Betty Crocker products.  My girls eyes lite up because when they saw the Chex cereal and Fruit By the Foot!  We immediately opened the Chex cereal and the downed it.  I tried a few and the flavor tasted pretty much the same to me, but they are Gluten Free! I'm so happy that General Mills is now...

I get hungry in the middle of the day and sometimes that can be dangerous.  I'm tempted to stop for a cup of coffee and something (bad) yummy to eat.   I know that's not a good idea and I'm only going to be hungry again shortly after. Fiber helps satisfy your hunger so it’s easier to eat less and lose weight without feeling as hungry. Did you know that.. One serving of Fiber One Original cereal provides more than half (57%) of the Daily Value of fiber. Fiber One Original cereal is a tasty way to start your morning on the right track with 0 grams of sugar, 14 grams of fiber, 60 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.

This time of the year is extremely busy for us and I'm often tempted to just go out for dinner more times then less.   It's the easiest way to get a great tasting meal when I don't have the time to prepare and cook something.   But when I'm given the tools to make a tasty meal in a short time, then I'm all over that! That's exactly what happened when I received the Lawry's Complete Meal Pack from Lawry's and My Blog Spark.  It contained not only the dish to marinate and cook my dinner in, but also 4 of Lawry's new seasoning packs to give the meal a lot of flavor! Lawry's has some new seasoning packets and each package is an exciting meal idea that quickly turns ordinary chicken, beef or...

I love Christmas movies. I think it's a great way to get into the spirit of the holiday! Now that my girls are getting a little older (ok I know they are only 6 and 3) I really enjoy watching holiday movies with them. So I was very happy when I received a copy of The Search for Santa Paws on Blu-Ray and DVD and so were my girls! It was wonderful! Paws is Santa's best friend and they get separated while in New Your City and Santa even forgets who he is for a while. But with the help of some little ophans they find each other again and Paws does whatever he can to make sure Santa is there for the kids on Christmas Eve. There is a very happy ending and the movie was GREAT! Disney’s unbeatable...
