mother's day booty

And no... i'm not talkin' about my ass expanding because of that blasphemous Lindt white chocolate :)

I got ANOTHER Captain Jack Sparrow doll... which i am SO happy about, little white gold hoop earrings and of course the white chocolate all from my mom and my brother.

My daughter gave me 2 cards she made me and a hannah montana certificate and bookmark she printed off of disneychannel.com

my man sent me an ecard which was so sweet. I don't expect anything from him, he figures if I want something I'll go and get it myself... He was gone that morning helping out his friend and left me and my daughter to our own devices (that morning it happened to be cleaning and Johnny Cash).

we got my mother a humming bird feeder (she wanted it for her garden) and this friday i'm sending her an amazon gift certificate (we are low on momney, thank GODDESS she understands). She just left this morning to go back home, which is only about 45 minutes away.

We bbq'd hamburgers that day which turned out pretty decent... I like mine rare and they were... no one else was that happy about it, but its ok.... they either put there hamburger back on the bbq or picked out the pink meat.

anyway it was a lovely couple of days.

Easter Candy

Easter candy is a staple in mainstream easter celebrating. Every type of candy formed in the shape of a rabbit or an egg. It was always something I looked forward to when I was a kid. I still look forward to it, I just can't pig out. The kid loves it. She has a ton of it to go through.

I love these Disney Malted Milk Eggs put out by Necco (http://necco.com) . 12 pieces at 180 calories. Not bad and the ice cream flavors are so good. Although the nutrients aren't very good it is still a yummy easter treat. I know ester is pretty much over, but If you go to the website you can find the malted milk balls as other products.

Peanut butter seems to be a popular easter candy selection. Reeses (http://www.hersheys.com/reeses/) has formed there yummy chocolate covered peanut butter in to an egg. 1 egg Is 180 calories and actually have4 grams of protein.

Leave a comment... what are your favorite easter candies?

ice cream

I know Ice cream is very popular among kids, I mean, I like it too. But how much is too much? I don't let my daughter have it that much (maybe twice a week) She get too hopped up on sugar and not to mention weight gain. She is pretty active, but thats still alot of refined sugar.

I try to find healtier treats, for instance I have been making rice pudding. Now white rice is refined, but you can make it with brown rice. I want to try that. There is also loads of fruits that she likes and then there is the occasional bag of flaming hot cheetos.

We need to be careful... there is A LOT of refined sugar in food marketed towards kids.
