The rest of you, don't give up...two more days means two more chances!!

Today we are celebrating Nutrition and Carb Counting!

Lenny is all about nutrition, and even has his very own UBER COOL carb counting app! That is actually how I met Lenny and consequently...fell in love with him. :)

So yesterday I figured, since Lenny has his own carb counting app and all...well I figured I could take a break and let Lenny carb count the boys' dinner.

Needless to say, Lenny wasn't too happy being put in charge. It WAS a lot of pressure...they were all staring at him, WAITING for their counts so they could start dinner.

So tell me amazing readers...what is Lenny thinking at this very moment?


Enter the phrase in the comments section, and remember to keep it clean! Each member of our family will choose our favorite bubble quote! The favorites will then be numbered and a random winner will be chosen from Random.org. Make sure to leave your first name! Comments without a first name will be void.

You have only until 9:00PM Pacific Standard Time to enter! Tomorrow the winner will be announced, and you will have yet ANOTHER chance to win with a new picture, and a new thought bubble being put up!

Good luck! And remember who your audience is! A 16, 13, 9 and 7 year old...and my hubby and me!


The meal in the picture is one of those dinners where we had lots of family over and made as much food as possible to stretch everything. True to form my boys picked the things chalked FULL of carby goodness! Yeah, that is A LOT of bread on their plates...bread on the BLT's...Garlic Bread...Corn Muffins...Carb-o-polooza! I have always struggled with good nutrition and FOOD. As a complete coincidence, I guest posted on Hallie's blog yesterday on this very subject. Go here to get an intimate glimpse into my food struggles. We have made a lot of changes to our diet the past year, (present dinner excluded,) and it has made a positive difference in our lives. As a swelly brained mom, it is hard for me to say no to those comfort foods...but I'm working on it!

Good luck today! And as always, it means the world to me that you thought to stop by! As a lovely Ninja likes to say...Love ya like bacon!
