Peanut Butter has nothing on THIS!.........................................

I have a new love! It is organic Almond Butter from Kettle Foods. The sole ingredients are almonds and salt (there is an unsalted variety as well.) My favorite snack is crunchy almond butter with apple slices! Very filling and very healthy. Move over peanut butter! Sign in to see full entry.

Tai Chi takes the cake.....................................................

The girls and I tried the Simply Tai Chi DVD which came with the book I bought yesterday. I'm REALLY gonna like this! It's so cool and even doing the warm ups made me feel more energized.
