Well, things are looking up. Thanks so much for the food tips and advice, it was encouraging. I've made a "re-discovery" of something great that should help- smoothies. My kids have been loving them, and they help me to get fruit and dairy in. And, it's SO easy, and so tasty! I think I could compete with Jamba Juice. Here's a favorite- Frozen strawberries (10 big ones, or so), two or three bananas, about a half cup of orange juice concentrate, and milk. Throw it all in the blender, and the kids have a treat and I'm getting fruit! And we've varied it a little with orange sherbet and yogurt, and sometimes with a different frozen berry mixture. So tasty. The kids also love the banana and peanut butter smoothie- it's just bananas, peanut butter, ice, and milk. Kinda takes a lot of peanut butter to make it taste really good, but hey- for kids, it's okay. Anyway, it's been a little cold for smoothies the past couple of days, but that just means they'll be that much better in the summer.
An update on Nichole's blog coming soon.

Smoothies are our new 10 a.m. snack around here! No more, "Mom, what can I have for snack?" while I'm changing a dirty diaper and teaching fractional parts at the same time! :-) Enjoy your smoothies! I know I love desserts, too, and it sure doesn't help keep the weight down!
