Me and My Big Mouth

When people ask me about my kids I stop for a moment and wonder. Do they mean my kids, his kids, do they mean our kids? Depending on who they are and how well I know them, my answer will differ. I have two, my husband has two, that makes four. We don’t have any together, wait, yes we do, we have FOUR children.

I met my step daughter Andrea when she was 12 and her father introduced me to her as his girlfriend. Awkward for anyone, even more difficult for a prepubescent 12 year old girl who’s world was rocked by her parents’ divorce and rocked yet again by this intruder that now had her daddy’s attention and part of his heart. I watched enough TV and read enough self help books to know that it was important not to try to be a mother to her and her 9 year old brother.

I'm hanging out over here today, come by to read the rest.

Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt Giveaway

We love yogurt here on The Avenue, so when MyBlogSpark and Yoplait sent me a coupon to try some YoPlus TOF and I were eager for the opportunity.

YoPlus now provides three important health benefits in each four-oz. cup:

• Antioxidant vitamins A and E (now with 20% of your recommended daily value)


• A blend of probiotic cultures & fiber (three grams of fiber per 4-ounce serving) for digestive health


• Calcium and vitamin D for bone health

YoPlus is available in six delicious flavors including Strawberry, Vanilla, Cherry, Peach, Blackberry Pomegranate and Blueberry Acai.

We chose the Strawberry, mmm delish and very creamy. We were pleased, as were our taste bugs.

You can enter to win your very own YoPlus “better-for-you” gift pack which includes a VIP coupon* for a 4-pack of Yoplait YoPlus yogurt, on-the-go lunch container with utensils, an insulated lunch bag, and a pedometer.

Stealing from the Baby

Still no offers from Eukanuba, but Bella is not easily discouraged. Remember she had parvo and lived to tell about it. Today we find our competitive canine sharing Moose Baby's binky.

Let's see you try that one Chuck. (without waking the baby)
