I have a birthday party here tomorrow. Should be a good time to catch some moms. If I think of it, I may just pull it up and suggest they enter. Then again I may forget completely until after the party. You know how crazy it gets with a house full of 6 year olds. LOL Will do! I have a birthday party here tomorrow.

It was like it was one long, run-on word: RuffleswithoniondipandDrPepper. EVERY DAY.I can also remember how much weight she lost when she just cut that "portion" in half. It was amazing...and scary. Decades later, during my single mom days, I found myself subsisting on Dr Pepper alone. (What can I say, I was a LITTLE stressed. lol) I lost weight from stress and since that was all I was ingesting, but it was still a lot of JUNK. BLEAH.BTW - thanks for entering the contest on Workerette too. Spread the word to any neighbors - I've got 3 bags and so far 2 entrants!!! :-) I can still remember how my mom used to devour a full bag of Ruffles with a container of onion dip and a 2L bottle of Dr Pepper for lunch every day when I was in my early elementary days.

Children are very observant and even if you think you’re pretty sneaky about some of your bad habits, they probably know about them."This is so true. My mom used to have some pretty bad eating habits. It was obvious to me that she did, and it definitely influenced me in the wring direction. It took me years to relearn how to eat balanced, healthy meals and stop craving simple carbs and sugary stuff.I am trying to be a better role model for my own kids. “When you’re home with the kids all day, they get to know all your habits, good and bad.
