Random.org selected Susan B.’s number!
Congrats Susan, and e-mail should be on it’s way to you!
A question for my readers :-)
Since I broke off from my other blog and started this one over a year ago, I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing some sort of e-course, book or ….?
The Survey
So I prepared a very short survey and would love for you all to give me some input. Because this blog is nothing without you all and I want to make sure whatever I offer is based on what you like! The survey is anonymous as well.
Thanks guys – you’re the best!!

And if you just can’t figure out why those ingredients are bad for you, here you go
- enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, mononitrate,{vitamin B1} riboflavin {vitamin B2} folic acid) – refined flours are a large contributor to insulin spikes as well as causing our bodies to lose nutrients we need in order to digest them.
- soybean oil – soy has been linked to hormone disruption due to the levels of phytoestrogens in it.
- sugar – robs our body of nutrients while we try to digest it as well as causes insulin spikes.
- partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil -can suppress the activity in cell receptors that are involved in inflammation, glucose metabolism, and insulin sensitivity.
- salt
- leavening (baking soda and/or calcium phosphate)
- high fructose corn syrup – the fructose travels to the liver almost completely intact, not broken down at all. The liver must then work even harder to digest and get rid of it. And our livers, which also expel old hormones that helps our entire hormonal system to function better, are then overworked and not able to function as well as they could.
- soy lecithin (emulsifier) – again with the soy!
- natural flavor – Hmmm, wonder what’s in this?
- cornstarch
Thanks for playing along and you’ll get another chance to guess this Friday!!

Wood Toys on the cheap
This year during garage sale season, I’ve been on the lookout for wood toys of all kinds. And this past week, I’ve hit the jackpot!
I found a shoebox full of colored wooden blocks of all sizes, a set of 4 puzzles (great for learning too since one is for numbers, one for letters, one for shapes and colors, and one for numbers and left and right hands), I also found a wood Tonka train and 3 small wood cars. I paid only $5.75 for all of this!! And the only thing I gave Cody to play with right now are the small cars. The rest will be saved until his birthday in August.
And speaking of his birthday, a couple of weeks ago I found some Melissa and Doug puzzles on Craislist for a few dollars a piece and Todd found a bunch of Cars movie cars at another garage sale. These will be put aside for his birthday as well. No need to go out and buy brand new toys when we have so many almost new toys that we’ve found!
