Freaky Frugalite

Have you heard about Nopalea? It’s a drink derived from the Nopal cactus fruit, a plant known for it’s ability to reduce inflammation. Nopal cactus fruit apparently reduces inflammation in general: muscle, joint, digestive, cell, etc. I think a LOT of our health problems stem from inflammation in one form or another. The makers of [...]

Oh dear. March is almost over! I have enjoyed this month. It’s been so spring-like. And because we finally got a few new windows, I can open them and enjoy the birds singing outside. Just this morning i have heard cardinals, robins, and blue jays! This must be a record for Upstate New York. We [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s been a long time since I tried Slim-Fast drinks. After having scads of children, I drank SlimFast ready-made shakes to lose a few pounds and boost my nutrition. I used to fast a lot as [...]

Yum! We love the Breakfast on the Go! snacks. I like the ones with dried fruit in them, and the kids like the ones with chocolate in them. These things are so perfect for traveling. They don’t weigh you down like heavier snacks and fast foods do, either. One of these little packets with a [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of T.G.I. FRiDAY’S for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The husband works evenings a couple times a week, and by then, dinner has been served (and, hopefully, the kitchen cleaned up) by then. The last thing I want to do is re-cook another meal [...]

I’m not a great big fan of coconut, but when I got this huge jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil in the mail, my curiosity was piqued. I’d already tried Tropical Traditions Antioxidants Greens drink mix (berry flavor) and it FAR surpassed any of the dietary supplement drink mixes I’ve had. This [...]

Ugh, I am SO horrible with memes. I just never remember! Combine that will my propensity to mix up the days…. I woke up thinking today is Saturday. It’s really tough to keep remembering that it’s Friday today… that I have to work today…. *sigh* lol :brudder: Well, I like this meme and here’s hoping [...]

I almost never eat breakfast. My kids do, usually, but even the smell of food in the morning makes me feel queasy. All I can stomach is coffee before noon or so. So ever since the kids were old enough to rifle through the fridge on their own, they’ve made their own breakfasts. *Most* of [...]

Oh I have to snicker at myself. Is it really, truly Thursday already?! What happened? It was Monday just a few hours ago, right?! This time-passing-faster-than-a-speeding-bullet conundrum can’t be the result of getting older. It just can’t. You younger folks– time is speeding for you, too, isn’t it? Reminds me of the book of Daniel: [...]

Another Monday! I can’t believe it’s been a whole week since we left Virginia. I miss the ocean. Questions: 1. What is your favorite bagel flavor? Hmmm…. I don’t eat bagels that often. I rarely eat breakfast (even the smell of food in the morning makes me queasy). When I lived in New York City, [...]
