Ozeri Precision II Digital Bath Scale (440 LB Edition) Review.

My website gives me the opportunity to try healthier alternatives out there.  Since I have been eating better, and walking at the park that is almost a 2 mile trail around a lake I have lost more weight. I have the best scale, ever, for tracking my weight loss with.


I have been using the Ozeri Precision II Digital Bath Scale (440LB Edition) with Widescreen Blue Xbright LCD and Step-on Activation for almost a year now to check my weight loss progress.  It has passed the test of us heavier users, and then some.


The scale turns on, only when you step down on it.  Any other kind of movement does not turn it on, which helps a lot with prolonging battery life.  The Step-on Activation makes it convenient to also store.  I store mine right up against the bathroom wall in a little cubby area, and bring it out when it's needed.  It has the same batteries in it, that came with it.


It has been with me through a lot of weight loss.  I've lost 75 lbs since March, my husband has lost over 100 (he exercises a lot more than I do, and eats better.) I just love how accurate the Ozeri Precision Bath Scale is.  Would I recommend this scale to a friend? Yes! I would, right now the scale is on sale for $20.00 on Amazon.  You can't get a scale this advanced in store for that low of a price.

If you are looking for a precision bathroom scale that lasts, and can be used for bigger numbers check out Ozeri on Amazon.  Lot's of great affordable products.

Royal Baby Prince George's Nickname Will Be "Georgie"

A Royal Nickname

The world's new baby prince is here, and by now we all know that his name is George Alexander Louis. However, Prince Charles recently revealed that the little prince will go by the nickname "Georgie." He also told everyone that he and Camilla are "pleased as punch" to be new grandparents, and also joked that little Georgie is "very loud." The late Prince George, Duke of Kent, was also called Georgie by his family. What an adorable nickname for an adorable little guy!

Busy Man

Little Prince Georgie has had a super busy week since arriving on July 22! He went home with mom and dad only about 24 hours after his birth, and has since been visited by Prince Charles and Camilla, his uncle Prince Harry, his grandparents and aunt from his mommy's side, and of course, his most famous visitor, his great grandmother, who also happens to be the Queen of England. The little guy has had a very busy week, so hopefully by now, things are calming down, and he can get some rest, along with mom and dad as well! Kate only had around 24 hours in the hospital, so we are sure that she was exhausted! William acknowledged that little Gerogie was a loud one as well, so we are sure that he needs a little bit of rest too!

"He's a big boy and he's got a good set of lungs that's for sure," Prince William said. "He's got his mother's looks luckily."

Modern Parents

We are excited to see how Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge will raise Prince George. Both Will and Kate are especially modern parents, and have gone out of the way to show everyone that things don't have to be done exactly like they used to be! Prince Harry has already said that he is going to make sure that his new little nephew knows how to have fun, so the little guy has that to look forward to! Will and Kate are sure to be very hands on parents, and while we are sure that they will try to keep their new little guy out of the limelight at least a little bit, we are also pretty sure that they will make sure that he gets to have lots of experiences and fun, and doesn't feel like he is missing out on anything! We can't wait to follow this adorable new prince as he grows up in front of all of us!

Super Easy Pumpkin Whoopie Spice Cookies


  • Box Of Spice Cake
  • 16oz can of 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 3 Eggs
  • Oil
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg

I made these the other day. What I like about these cookies are, they are super easy to make, and my 2 year old absolutely adored them. I saw some recipes just call for a can of Pumpkin, and 1 cake mix, no other ingredients, but I used 3 eggs, and oil, can of pumpkin, Instead of water, use the pumpkin, I added a little more sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon too.

I Spooned 6 drops spaced across the baking sheet, and baked for 8 mins. My lil one went Gaga over these. The consistancy of the Pumpkin cookies remind me of whoopie pies. After tasting them, I really wished I had the ingredients to make a Pumpkin Cream Cheese filling to put between two of the cookies.

Preheat Oven to 350, Bake Each Half Dozen for 8-10 minutes.



I also added some reeces pieces, Those were my hubbys favorite, tho my 2 year old liked the plain pumpkin cookies the most.

Yum Earth Fruit Snacks! 100% Daily Vitamins.


Just when I thought YumEarth had the best Mango Tango lolly, I have to add YumEarth Banana Fruit Snack on my top, favorite, ever, sweets.  What sets Yum Earth apart from the others, would be the natural, no preservatives, and 100% Daily Vitamins. They are full of flavor! It took everything in my being, and big beautiful chocolate sad eyes for me to share the fruit snacks with my 2 year old.  They are that good.



The new Fruit Snacks come in Banana, Cherry, Peach & Strawberry in assorted packs.  These would even be great for Organic Back to School Snacks, Halloween, and Holiday Parties approaching.  Just another reason to love YumEarth-- They are FatFree.

Yum Earth Organics Lollipops Review.


Trick Or Treat.. the only trick about these Lollipops are organic and full of mouth watering flavor! I am not even kidding, that YumEarth Organics Lollipops make my mouth water.  Not just mine, but my little one that is absolutely picky about everything else, will behave for a YumEarth Lollie (yes, I go there, lol.) My favorite is the Mango Tango, his is very very Cherry.  


Instead of giving out Chocolate for Halloween,  think about YumEarth Organics. Think about the 100% Daily Vitamin C, and the possibility of opening a childs, and parents eyes up to a better alternatives that are out there.  The sweet treat is still there, just organic!


You know it's good when they want one for each hand.
