A Berry Bad Idea
Starbucks' Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino Blended Creme not only uses the word "creme" too many times in its name, but it also has too many calories and fat grams. One might think, "how bad can strawberries, milk, ice and whipped cream be?" Uhhh, try 410 calories and 11 grams of fat bad. And that's for the smallest size! Yikes. The bottom line is, there is absolutely no reason to partake in one of these fat-filled strawberry shakes, especially since our version of the blended beverage won, HANDS DOWN, in a side by side taste test. Men, women, children (and even some small animals) preferred our 119-calorie, 1g-of-fat "Strawberry Cloud" over The Bucks' calorie-infested pink frap. So ditch Starbucks' strawberry screw-up and try a Strawberry Cloud instead. This recipe will rock your frozen drink-loving world.

Challenge Accepted!




I spent a lot of time with Kat this weekend and we were trying to come up with crafts to make. Somehow we got into looking at these kinds of pictures that spell out your name and you can customize them online. I said i could do it and Kat said she would rather just buy it, so i took that as a challenge.......and i did it. You would never guess that all these things are somewhere at my house!

The Latest Room Makeover!

Before


After

Ok so the first picture is really sad im glad i fixed the room up because it is kind of embarrassing. Well my wonderful mother went through a lot trying to keep me on task while doing this large project. Thanks so much to her for her help....she pretty much painted the whole thing. I dont have a very large attention span.....

Halloween

Well we didn't really do much on Halloween except pass out candy, which turned out to be really fun! Kids say anything when their parents aren't standing next to them....ha ha! On Friday we went to my parents and carved pumpkins ( I should say Jeremy did, i just watched and ate of course). Here are a few pics! Notice Aaron's new girlfriend, she is really cute! ha ha!
