A working mom trying to do it all ....and succeeding!
Our cat, Spice, has been wanting to get out of the house for a while now. Every time the door opens she bolts for the door. So while at the store last week I bought a cat harness and leash.
We’ve been taking her at just for a few minutes at a time for her to get used to it. This last time she really got into and was sniffing and exploring all around the yard.

MUPPETS MOST WANTED opens in theaters everywhere on March 21st!
I’ve mentioned before that I have a fear of high bridges. I’m okay with low ones or even long ones, it’s the high ones that get me. Bridges and high over passes. They freak me out and I’m afraid I will go off and over the edge. I know it’s an irrational fear but it’s there just the same. I’ve gotten better over the last two years and am okay with someone else driving, sometimes.
My daughter and I are taking a trip tomorrow over to the Tampa/St. Pete area and the Sunshine State Bridge is over there and I may have to cross it. Here is a picture of the Sunshine State Bridge.
I had to cross that bridge seven years ago and was terrified! I made my mother drive over but it was still frightening.
So Friday, the first day of Spring Break for us, I gathered up the kids and we went driving north to the Dames Point Bridge in Jacksonville.
Both bridges are the same height but the Sunshine State Bridge is 10,000 feet longer. So I drove and drove until I saw that bridge coming and I turned up the radio, made the air cooler and took a drink of water and I went over it!
But then I had to turn around and do it again! I pulled off the highway and sat for a few minutes and then made the drive back home. The second time was not as bad.
I definitely need more practice but I hope this will suffice for our trip tomorrow. Maybe I won’t even see the Sunshine State Bridge at all…. I can hope can’t I?
Do you have a fear of bridges?
The coupons for free product, information, and gift card have been provided by Sandwich Thins®, Pocket Thins® and Bagel Thins ®.
I was sent some wonderful coupons to try out some new and fun recipes! I had a meeting in my home and wanted to make something I thought everyone would enjoy, so I looked through the many recipes and chose two.
The first one was the Better-For-You Buffalo Chicken Burger. It just looks so good! Then I wanted something that the kids would like so I chose PB&J “Plus” Bagel.
Then I had to do some shopping. I purchased Arnold Sandwich Thins – Healthy Multi-Grain and Thomas Bagel Thins 100& Whole Wheat. Both count 3 points toward Weight Watchers, if you track there, which I do. I love sandwiches but sometimes there is just too much bread. These are perfect for those days when I’d rather have more protein than bread.
Next were all the ingredients. Ground chicken – a first buy for me but not my last. Non fat yogurt, Low fat blue cheese, cream cheese and strawberry jam were all on my list.
Other breads to choose from depending on your taste are:

The recipe and ingredient list for the Better-For-You Buffalo Chicken Burger is as follows:
You will need –
4 Arnold Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins
1 lb uncooked lean ground chicken
1/8 tsp Kosher Salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp round black pepper, or to taste
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp hot sauce
4 oz low-fat blue cheese, crumbled
Then season the chicken with salt and pepper, mix in 1/4 cup water.
Shape the chicken into 4 patties and set aside.
Heat non-stick griddle pan or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add patties and sear until golden brown; meat will release when ready to flip.
Flip patties and cover until fully cooked, about 8 more minutes.
Meanwhile, mix yogurt and hot sauce. Spread yogurt mixture on bottom half of Sandwich Thins and then add cooked patty.
Divide blue cheese among the burgers and top with the other half of Sandwich Thins and enjoy!
The total for all of these ingredients together add up to 10 points in WW according to the WW website. I thought these turned out pretty well and am looking forward to making them again!
The next sandwich I made was the PB&J “Plus” Bagel. Very simple yet very delicious!
You will need Thomas Bagel Thins, I chose Whole Wheat. Also needed is cream cheese, peanut butter and jam.
Toast your bagel and add cream cheese, peanut butter and jam on top of the bottom half and place to top on and enjoy! I love all three ingredients together!
