How much sugar do you eat?

I have found a new site that might be interesting. We are what we eat and this site though not all inclusive it is a site that can give you an idea what is being taken in by our bodies. Also they do not have natural sugars and added sugars as the labels do not yet do that either. I would really like to see that on the labels.

This link takes you to the beverages, poke around and see what is in fruit, cookies, etc.

Have a look and hope it opens a door for you to better and healhier living if you would like to improve your life.

Thanks as always for reading.

Sometimes our methods are on the other side of the law.

My daughter, the writer, is very news houndy. She found this artle online and read it to me. We laughted, laughed and wondered all about these folks. I would like to write to them but not sure how to get their information. Read for yourself and please leave a comment. Seems pretty timely to me.

There is even a few comments last I looked and folks are pretty easy going about this.

Once again, something that I thought you might want to know.

During this economy let us not forget our pets!

I do troll about the web and this one came to me. I belong to several groups and when I saw this I thought is very pertinent to the times. Good luck if you have pets, they are well worth keeping as a member of the family.

Below is a comprehensive list of pet financial aid-related organizations, listed alphabetically by state.
If your organization is offering assistance (such as pet food, discounted veterinary services including spay/neuter, temporary foster care, etc.) to individuals facing financial difficulties due to the current economic situation, please let us know about your programs by emailing foreclosurepets@ humanesociety. org (humanesociety. org)


Vet care/cost help and affording your pet links at the site.

Here are a few more sites that are worth a look if you need any help!

So this is a good spot to start at. Remember also that if the economy has not touched you then I wholeheartedly suggest and expect you to donate to one or more of these fine organizations. Perhaps start with one of the ones on hold due to the slow down in the economy.

I hope you have a beloved family pet or two and that life is treating you and them very well, despite all we are going through.

Rethink your email habits?

This time I am sharing something that I see some money showing up in. This is peoplestring and the concept is absolutley wonderful. Will see how far this takes me. Thus far I am still learning and hoping you will check it out too. Might be the thing to help us through this economy. I am unemployed and this is one thing that could add to my possible spending money to keep my household moving forward. Thankfully hubby still has his full time job. Fun thing to move about at and the prospect of earning while I do all I do is appealing. No pressure, I just like to share what I find that could be worth it to someone that reads my blog.
By the way, thank you for reading my blog.

New site I found!

Hi everyone, am glad to make a new post. I was going through a file for my cooking groups I belong to and found this site. http://www.sustainabletable.org/intro/dictionary/

We seem to heading into the area where we are taking care of our bodies better and the best way is through food which sooo many of us love. Personally I am growing alot of my food in the garden this year and will be canning and dehydrating alot!

The site is very informative about the different terms you will see in the shopping mart. There is a blog you can follow if you like. Can find out how to make a more natural pregnancy, find out why you should eat better when you can and there are 3 links to their other sites.

Truely a site that I think is something you might like to know about.

My 5 dollar meal

Hello, I found a site where I could be picked for a grand recognition about a 5 dollar meal. So here I go.

Cooked up Kielbasa Sausage which I bought for 2.29, then added the lima beans frozen bought at 1.54 and corn bought for .95 frozen. Added some water from the free spring down the road and then not sure if you count the energy.

Four cups of milk so that is half a gallon, if counted that adds .94 cents to the meal since we bought the milk at 1.89 a gallon. Used half the gallon.

So let me see, 2.29, 1.54, .95 = 4.78 or 5.72 counting the drink.

This fed two teen agers and my hubby as well as me. There was even a bit of leftovers. For lunch today.

http://www.5dollardinners.com/2007/01/5-dinner-challenge.html is the site where I am doing that challenge. Check it out and maybe you can find ways to extend your food purchasing dollars too!

Are you going through Foreclosure?

If you are currently going through forclosure, there might be something you can do. I listen to the radion overnight while trying to sleep and I caught a news article of a lady that has done something that a handful of folks have now done and saved their home. Buying time at least is on your side in many cases.

Here is the link to the story online that I found so you can really read it and perhaps help yourself. http://www.cleveland.com/nation/index.ssf/2009/02/fighting_foreclosure_homeowner.html

With the uncertain economy I am wishing everyone some sense of security whenever you can find it. I am closing this week finally on a house that will allow us to live a bit more comfortably. By having real estate that has enabled my transition. Land is truely the only safe investment I think. Best of luck in all you do and thank you for reading.
