ProgressOH! Soup

For all you lovelies that are trying to lose weight, or maintain it, here's a 200 calorie lunch or dinner that is OH SO Tasty!!!

Have you tried the Progresso Light Soups?  There is an amazing variety, and I couldn't even tell the difference in taste between the regular and light.  I'm a stickler on taste, and honestly, these are AW-MAZING!

I eat salads most days of the week, but when it's cold outside, and have I no desire to eat another salad, I pull out a can of Progresso Light.  If you all don't know, I try to be a thrifty shopper, I watch sale ads, and use coupons as much as I possibly can.  I always watch for Progresso sales, because truthfully, it's my favorite soup in a can.  I can usually get 10 cans for $8, sometimes less,  depending on how many coupons I can get ahold of.

Be sure to check out the Progresso Website and become a fan on Facebook!  They have recipes, ideas, and so much yummyness!

Making healthy choices in the kitchen is the first step to any weight loss.  Here are a couple pictures of myself so far.  The first one is in October, and the second is from 2 weeks ago, (2 weeks after I started eating better.)  You can see the difference in my face.  I'm still working on my body, but I will say I've lost 10 pounds in January.

One lucky reader could win this cool prize pack.  I received one, and loved it!  Leave me a comment to let me know your favorite Progresso Light soup, and what you're doing to help lose weight in the new year!  I will randomly select one of you to receive the same thing I did!  US residents only, sorry my Canadian and overseas friends! :(

Build-A-Bear Workshop Farmers' Market Collection Review and GIVEAWAY!

We were excited when the Build-A-Bear Workshop sent us a Sheep to review from their new and upcoming Farmers’ Market Collection which debuts on May 4^th 2012.  When the Sheep arrived, we took it straight to our 2 ½ year old son for him to open.  Curiosity struck as the box was put down in front of him.  

When he pulled the Sheep out of the box it was love at first sight.  His expression and ours both turned to smiles as he wrapped the Sheep in a huge hug. 

 He kept yelling, mine, mine, mine, as his older brother wanted to take the Sheep away.  He named him Sheepy Baby.  It’s so cute how little ones speak.  The Sheep was so cute, soft and cuddly that everyone wanted a turn holding it.  Our 5 year old now wants to go to a Build-A-Bear Workshop so he can make one for himself.  It’s great to see our son be tucked into bed every night and have him curl up with the Sheepy Baby right next to him.

The Farmers’ Market Collection at Build-A-Bear Workshop consists of a horse, cow, pig and sheep.  Two Farmers’ Market smallfrys will also be available – a pig and cow.  The will also have two online exclusives with the collection which will consist of a llama and a billy goat.

Remember, this new collection is available May 4^th.  Guests who make a purchase of $20 or more will receive a FREE Farmers’ Market reusable tote. 

If the Farmers’ Market Collection is not your taste, go to www.buildabear.com or visit a Build-A-Bear workshop and make your own personal creation.  You can even create a superhero with The Avengers collection.  With the amount of clothes, accessories, shoes and sounds, you are guaranteed to make a friend for life.
