Chocolate is My Favorite Prozac!

I suppose this makes me an emotional eater, but chocolate has always helped during stressful times. Even the candy commercials market it as an indulgence after a long day. So I take comfort in knowing that I am not alone.

A Different Kind of Mother's Day

In honor Mother's Day and all of us "Pet Parents", I was inspired to make a list of the differences between having human children and Furry ones. My babies are all cats, but I would assume most of this holds true for the dog lovers as well.

What's Different When You Have Furries.

They do not wake you up at 5 am.

They do not bother your stuff.

They do not make messes.

They do not scream at you.

They do not suddenly need attention when you are busy.

You can go to the bathroom alone.

They do not talk back.
They do not drive you crazy.

You get to skip the Terrible Twos.

No one gives you attitude.

They do not cling to your body when you are trying to leave.

They listen.

You do not have to tell them the same thing 50 times.

They do not eat your food.

They can't manipulate you.

They leave you alone when you are watching TV.

When I sat down to write this blog, I was completely alone as everyone was outside playing. I have managed to write most of it one handed as I am holding one baby, and another is wrapped (literally) around my foot. I can hear the other two little ones pilfering through my craft stash across the room.

I sincerely wish Mother's, of every kind, have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Rosie Reviews

Rarely will I ever like something so much that I 'officially' recommend it. Especially food, but I have recently discovered a new product that I just love, even The Mom approves! So I thought I'd share my experiences and thoughts.

To "Diet" or Not?

In this age of 'eating healthy' we're becoming more conscious of what we put into our bodies, and trying to make better choices, be it at home or the drive thru. We count calories, carbs, and fat, but are we missing one of the real dangers? Are artificial ingredients and fillers really better for our health? One key ingredient may be putting you more at risk for conditions or diseases.

It's About that Time...

Probably one of the most important (and hardest) days in my year is fastly approaching, and I find myself unprepared... again. Yes, there is less than 2 weeks until Mother's Day... I can't believe how fast this year has flown by.

Where are You Garlic?

Spring has finally arrived here in our area, the trees have finally 'turned green' in the last 2 days, there are blossoms, and flowers starting to appear. Which means it's time to get busy, spring cleaning inside and out. There's weeding and mulching to do, along with repotting flowers and planting bulbs.
