It is very rare that I come across a Rubbermaid product that I don’t love. I have had some minor issues with some from time to time but mostly I offer nothing but positive things to say. I really don’t even know where to start with this review. I am so ridiculously in love with these boxes! I have “cubby” unit in my living room that holds 18 “bins” total in 3 different sizes. I own so many of the fabric bins that I keep my sons toys organized in and they really just don’t hold up. The boys are constantly pulling the bins out and putting them back in. Most of them come apart at the seams. I have been using the Rubbermaid Bento Storage Boxes for many months now and much to my surprise, (considering all the others I’ve owned) these are still in like new condition!

Now that Spring is here, we are all wanting to get our bodies back into shape. I messed up my ankle pretty bad last June so I can’t so much of what I used to until I am cleared for the second time. I have gained a few pounds back because of it BUT it’s slowly coming back off! If you want to get your body back in shape for Spring but don’t have time or energy to make it to the gym, then GaiamTV is for you! The newly launched site offers your own private collection of instructional yoga, pilates, weight training and dance lessons plus a complete library of wellness, spirituality and nutrition videos delivered by world-renowned instructors including Rodney Yee and Jillian Michaels.

I used to be a big fan of The Biggest Loser and Jillian really cracks me up. I love her attitude towards getting things done and she pulls no  punches with people. She isn’t where she is today because she doesn’t know what she is talking about.

Parties are always a fun time to get together with friends and family and enjoy some tasty bites. Whether your celebration is in honor of a birthday, sporting event, holiday or theme party you want to host a memorable event for your guests. How do you spice up your parties and create an event that no one will forget? Farm Rich is bringing some heat to your parties with its popular line-up of frozen snacks and appetizers with the new Queso Cheese Bites – delicious, bite-sized snacks filled with creamy white queso cheese. Now you can enjoy bite-sized snacks at home with a slight ‘kick’ when you can’t get to your favorite Mexican restaurant.

I am a big fan of farm Rich products. I love Mozzarella sticks and believe me, I have tried just about every brand on the market. They are a perfect finger food and everyone loves them! I think most people think Mozzarella Sticks when they think Farm Rich. Those people are missing out! New Farm Rich Queso Cheese Bites are not too hot, not too cool, but just right. These little guys are creamy white, queso-filled, breaded, bite-sized happiness, packin’ just the right amount of heat to perfectly spice up any occasion. They come out of the oven or fryer in just minutes, crisp and toasty on the outside, meltingly tender on the inside, and ready to serve for an after-school snack, party appetizer, or just anytime hunger calls. The wholesome snacks also are a good source of calcium, and each portion contains just 180 calories.

Just in time to catch up with my complaining about McDonald’s, they go and change the Happy Meals. On the rare occasion that I actually take the boys there, they get apples with no caramel sauce and white milk. No Fries, No soda etc. I figure if we have to stop there, I might as well try to make it a LITTLE healthier for them. Have you ever tasted that caramel sauce for the apples? YUCK! Thankfully the boys think it’s disgusting too.

What’s new about the Happy Meal? The new Happy Meal automatically includes Apple Slices (¼ cup or ½ serving) as a side to the choice of a Hamburger, Cheeseburger or Chicken McNuggets,® and choice of beverage, including new fat-free chocolate milk and 1% low fat white milk. In addition to Apple Slices, the meal also automatically comes with new smaller size French fries. For customers who prefer apples only, an additional bag of Apple Slices is available to replace the fries.
