oven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No wonder grocery stores pump the smells from their bakery outside the building to tempt you inside!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Making bread is not that labour intensive when you use a bread machine to make the dough. I don't like the shape of the loaves that come out of the bread machine so I bake the loves in the oven myself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sadly, I have not yet mastered the perfect sandwich bread shape. If you know the secret, please let me know!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This recipe makes two loaves of bread.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whole Wheat Bread (bread maker recipe)&lt;br /&gt;
1 3/4 cups warm water&lt;br /&gt;
1 egg&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup butter (I use heart healthy olive oil)&lt;br /&gt;
2 tsp salt&lt;br /&gt;
2 Tbsp sugar (I use honey)&lt;br /&gt;
2/3 cup powdered milk&lt;br /&gt;
4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour&lt;br /&gt;
1 Tbsp yeast&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add items in order listed to bread machine. Run machine on the dough setting. Once the dough is done, divide into two and knead each piece of dough a few times. Form into a ball/ loaf shape. Place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour until loaves fill the pans. Remove towel and bake at 350 for 30 minutes (I don't bother preheating the oven). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I recently had the chance to donate 4 packages of diapers to a charity of my choice thanks to &lt;a href="http://ca.seventhgeneration.com/community_ca"&gt;Seventh Generation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When given the opportunity to bless a family in need, I felt the need to choose a Christian organization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I choose to give the diapers to a &lt;a href="http://www.brandongate.ca/"&gt;small church&lt;/a&gt; that focuses on outreach - "being the hands and feet of Jesus" and "loving thy neighbour" in very practical ways. The church works with those in need in their own community as well as abroad (eg. they are taking a trip to the Dominican Republic in the near future to help residents there. Some of the diapers will be making the trip there). I know the ministry staff will ensure the diapers will get to someone in the greatest of need.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a mother, I cannot imagine how it must feel to struggle to provide even the simplest of necessities (i.e. diapers) to my children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://ca.seventhgeneration.com/community_ca"&gt;Seventh Generation&lt;/a&gt; is aiming to donate 240,000 diapers to 40 shelters in &lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. They are also encouraging parents to visit their local store and "Buy One Give One" &lt;a href="http://ca.seventhgeneration.com/community_ca"&gt;Seventh Generation&lt;/a&gt; diapers to support families in their own community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;This whole process has got me thinking ahead to Christmas. With all the blessings that I already enjoy, instead of "receiving" gifts this year, I am going to encourage my loved ones to take the money they would have spent on me and donate it in my name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Others are in greater need than I.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;It truly is better to give than receive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;It's been one of those days around the Roost where I just want to scream "QUIET!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
H has been her usual chatty self talking not stop All. Morning. Long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J has been in a funk whining about every little thing and nothing would make him happy. Guess that's what happens after the age of 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The noise level - though not loud - may make my ears bleed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a failed attempt at lunch, I tucked into bed for a nap, set H up for some quiet TV time before her nap and hid in the kitchen to tidy up the few dishes from lunch and to sweep the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Know what I noticed? The quiet - precious wonderful quiet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those that know me, cleaning is not one of my favourite activities.  That is why I HEART my cleaning lady so much when she visits every two  weeks. Rather than stressing about the deep cleaning, she takes care of it and I get to spend more time with my kids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But today as I washed those few dishes and swept the kitchen floor in peace, I felt my tense muscles and busy mind relax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cleaning as Therapy - who knew?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Water play - sprinkler, water baloons, painting with water&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Plant container garden - flowers or veggies from seeds or seedlings, kids love to dig in and get dirty.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Explore nature in the backyard - find shapes in the clouds or dig for worms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Eat outside - great chance to have messy foods like watermelon and popsicles since the mess won't be on your kitchen/ living room floor!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let kids take the pictures - show them how to use the camera function on your phone or use a disposible camera and see them world through their eyes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visit local parks, splash pads, playgrounds - discover a new one and as well as visiting old favourites&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Build a tent/ fort - if you don't have a tent, repurpose pation furiture, cardboard boxes and sheets/ blankets to make a nice shady getaway from the the heat of the sun.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go stargazing - bundle the kids up in their jammies and pick a place away from the city lights to count as many stars as you can in the dark sky. Have some dollar glow sticks on hand to add to the fun!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Explore a local museum or library - when it's too hot to go out and you just need to get out, head to a local museum or library that offers a fun learing activities along with air conditioning.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Have ice cream for dinner - celebrate the heat by having a cold treat for dinner!&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xBnw71CGFGI/TfFtXLs7API/AAAAAAAAAYA/Q9JVlFj8sBw/s1600/mahalodole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xBnw71CGFGI/TfFtXLs7API/AAAAAAAAAYA/Q9JVlFj8sBw/s320/mahalodole.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you ever get a chance to visit the plantation, DO! The pineapple tastes so sweet - I plan on visiting Dole Plantation again when I return to visit the island in August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.dole.com/"&gt;Dole&lt;/a&gt;, of course, carries many products other than pineapple. I was fortunate enough to be asked to try their new Fruit 'n Crisp bowls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hxaVaGDkp8U/TfFt83aFdhI/AAAAAAAAAYE/kr-yDfwCa9Y/s1600/DoleApple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="276" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hxaVaGDkp8U/TfFt83aFdhI/AAAAAAAAAYE/kr-yDfwCa9Y/s320/DoleApple.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In each bowl you will find sweet juicy fruit with an added bonus - it's own crunchy oat and brown sugar topping! The fruit and oat mixture are packaged separately in the same container - just peel back the lid and sprinkle!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was quite delighted with the taste of these bowls. The fruit mixture was just the right mix of sweetness which blended well with the crisp topping. Try warming up the fruit in the microwave for 30 seconds and it will taste like a fruit crisp fresh from the oven!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids LOVED them! H said, "That sounds delicious! I love oatmeal!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, this may be my favourite summer time outing for the kids and I!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just found out that you can get baby cones at McDonalds for $0.11 each!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes you read that right! &lt;b&gt;11 CENTS EACH! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently they are Free with a Happy Meal as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with the $1 any size drinks/ iced coffee, free WiFi and play area, I think the kids and I will be taking a few trips there this summer. And it's within walking distance!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love cheap activities to do with the kids! Thank you McDonalds! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;This deal was found in Canada. Check with your local McDonalds to see if they offer this same thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps it's the watching the plants and flowers emerge from their winter slumber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps it's the sound of the baby starlings calling to their parents from their nest at the top of our telephone pole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps it's the feel of the warm dirt squishing through my fingers as I prepare our vegetable gardern for the growing season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whatever it is... I am so ready for summer!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's what's up around the Roost for summer 2011 &lt;br /&gt;
- tending to the garden, removing some plants and adding new ones including an apple tree!&lt;br /&gt;
- adding a gazebo to the yard - mosquitos here are attocious in the summer but we still want to enjoy the warm weather&lt;br /&gt;
- road trip with both kids out West - first really long road trip with both kids. Hoping to blog about tips and tricks to help other parents!&lt;br /&gt;
- many lazy hours spent outside in the yard or at the various parks in the city - WOOT!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For me, I want to lose 20 pounds before I head to Hawaii in August. I've lose 6 already so only 14 more to go!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's how I am doing it:&lt;br /&gt;
- Body by Vi shakes twice a day - I discovered these meal replacement shakes and love them! They taste great, fill me up and can be made in so many ways I never get bored drinking them! They give me a great energy boost too! You can check out more about &lt;a href="http://pthomas.bodybyvi.com/"&gt;Body by Vi through my personal website&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
- Zumba - I have fallen in love with this dance based excersise. It's so much fun that you don't even notice that you are getting a work out! Movements are sent to latin beats and danc steps. Don't worry if you've never danced before - I hadn't either. After a few classes I am getting more coordinated. I attend a one hour class once a week and do Zumba on the Wii two other days a week. Search for Zumba in your city to find a class.&lt;br /&gt;
- Resitance training and running - on days where I don't do Zumba, I pick up my resitance bands and do a 20 minutes circuit to build some muscle. I can do it anywhere as the bands are easy to take along. My plan is to get up before DH goes to work and do a Couch to 5K session 3 times a week. SO far I havent' done many as the weather has been terrible wet and rainy - hopefully that will improve as the summer goes on.&lt;br /&gt;
- Portion sizes - I'm not counting points or calories but I am trying to be more aware of correct portion sizes. You can find a great &lt;a href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/printable/wallet-portion-control-size-guide"&gt;portion size guide here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6752699452470866642-757672545184729674?l=www.littlesruletheroost.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We are currently in a 5 year fixed term with one more year to go so it is a good time to look at what other options are out there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We live in an older home (circa 1950's) so it is not the most energy efficient. Thankfully when we moved in, the windows were already newer but the basement ones need replacing. Our furnace is mid-efficient which is adequate for the size of our home but the attic insulation should be added to to help us reduce our winter heating and summer cooling costs. I also want to install ceiling fans in each bedroom to help keep the house cool in the summer without running the air conditioning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did you know that 51% of Canadian homeowners think utility costs are the biggest surprise of home ownership? Many homeowners are making energy efficient upgrades to help offset their utility costs and live a greener lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans Light';"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;For Canadians who meet BMO’s energy efficiency criteria,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The BMO Eco Smart Mortgage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is  a new mortgage product with market-leading five-year fixed rate of 3.89  per cent – a rate significantly lower than comparable green mortgage  products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Here is how it works:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;A homeowner downloads the appropriate checklist (house or condo) from the BMO website. The check-list includes things such as:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;High-efficiency&amp;nbsp;heating  and cooling systems, Solar, tank-less or&amp;nbsp;ENERGY STAR qualified hot  water system&amp;nbsp;and ENERGY STAR qualified&amp;nbsp;windows, doors and major  appliances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;If  after reviewing the checklist, the homeowner feels their home  qualifies; they then contact a BMO branch to talk to a mortgage  specialist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;BMO will send an appraiser into the home of the consumer to confirm the house qualification." &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;(&lt;i&gt;from Mom Central Canada&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;You can download the &lt;a href="http://tiny.cc/q2z0k"&gt;checklist&lt;/a&gt; and see for yourself if you qualify for a BMO Eco Smart Mortgage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;To get you started on your energy efficient upgrades, I am hosting a $50 Rona Gift Card giveaway!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After taking a 4 month blogging break I decided to join the blogging ranks again by joining the Ultimate Blog Party 2011 hosted by 5 minutes for Mom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had such a great time last year. I still read the blogs I discovered one year ago and try to connect with the bloggers when I can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now to introduce myself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am a SAHM who runs an at home tea business. You can usually find me with one of over three dozen types of tea in my favourite over sized mug walking around my &lt;strike&gt;messy&lt;/strike&gt; almost tidy home wearing my "slippahs" from Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love to read.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love to travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love to share what works for us and our family with others!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My goals for this summer:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lose the 20 extra pounds of baby weight I am still carrying - 10 pounds from each of my pregnancies - Baby J is almost two.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete the Couch to 5k program&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Simplify our home by purging all the unecessary clutter.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be more attentive to our garden. It's small but I want to maximize what we can grow.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Survive&lt;/strike&gt; Enjoy our family's first long road trip to South Dakota&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;Great topics for blogging don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, enough about me! Here, enjoy a cup of tea and tell me a bit about your goals for the summer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make your self at home and have a look around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I found a great recipe for low fat cookies (good for all of us!). By tweaking it a little, it makes a tasty healthy snack! I find them quite filling too!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Ingredients&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;2/3 cup applesauce (unsweetened)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1 teaspoon vanilla&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1 teaspoon baking soda&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1/4 teaspoon nutmeg&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1 1/2 cups old fashion oatmeal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Extras&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;2/3 cup raisins, dried cranberries, other dried fruit or chocolate chips &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1/2 cup walnuts, sunflower seeds, flax seed (optional) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mix first 4 ingrdients together. Add flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in oatmeal and whatever extras you are adding. Drop spoonfuls onto a greased cookies sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because these cookies have no oil or butter, they do not spread. You can flatten out the cookies with the back of a spoon if you like. We like to eat them in a haystack style by using a small ice cream scoop to drop cookies dough onto the cookie sheet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Play around with the extras you add for added variety!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With all the sweet rich treats and comfort food of the season, it no big surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One way I am trying to minimize my wieght gain&amp;nbsp; is by using &lt;a href="http://www.caloriecount.com/"&gt;Calorie Count&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="879004518-26042010"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="879004518-26042010"&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.caloriecount.com/"&gt;Calorie Count&lt;/a&gt; serves as an all-in-one  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="879004518-26042010"&gt;diet coach, nutritionist and workout trainer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt; "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.caloriecount.com/"&gt;Calorie Count&lt;/a&gt; is a free online diet program. Yes, it is free! Once registered, you answer a few simple questions about your weight and activity level. From there, calaorie count gives you a realistic caloric intake goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are my favourite features:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;It does the calculations for you - just enter what you eat throughout the day and the program keeps track for you.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use your own recipes - you can enter your own recipes and Calorie Count will calculate the calories in each serving.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can also track nutrients - not only does Calorie Count keep track of calories but you can aslo see what nurtients you are lacking (or not lacking...). Calorie Count will also make suggestions about foods high in the specific nutrients.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hundreds of foods in the database - if you don't know the calorie count in a food, check the data base. Many restaurant and prepackged foods are listed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Toolbar - I have the toolbar installed. At a glance, I can see how many calories I am still allowed to eat for the day.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There's an app for that - You can also download the Calorie Count app to help you stay on track while on the go. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;I really like that this program uses calories instead of points. I am learning to check the calories per serving on food packaging and recognizing how that fits into my daily calorie consumption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are so many features, articles and advice on this site I am discovering new things every day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Control your holiday weight gain and get ahead start on you New Yearsweight loss by trying &lt;a href="http://www.caloriecount.com/"&gt;Calorie Count&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"We all live in a Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine."&lt;/i&gt; - The Beatles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I grew up listening to one of Dad's favourite bands - The Beatles. Yellow Submarine was one of my favourite songs!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maclaren has partnered with The Beatles to produce a special version of the Quest buggy. The artwork and contrasting yellow and denim colours are inspried by The Yellow Submarine by The Beatles - even the reversible liner, rain cover and (optional) footmuff!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love the bright cheerful colour! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The height of this buggy is perfect for me at 5'8" - I don't have to hunch over to push it. The ride the buggy provides is so smooth and is easy to push - even with one hand! It is light weight yet well built. There is even a decent sized basket underneath and "parent pocket" in the back for keys and wallets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are graduating from a bulky double stroller for both kids to a single stroller for J. The Maclaren buggy is such a joy to take out! It moves easily even through snow - that is very important for our Canadian winters!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did know that it also comes with a Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™? Awesome!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Head over to the &lt;a href="http://www.maclarenbaby.com/"&gt;Maclaren website &lt;/a&gt;to find a retailer near you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Casio Waveceptor is not your ordinary watch. It keeps time through Muti-band Atomic timekeeping which means it calibrates it time based on radio signals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that is very cool!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I toon the watches out of the packaging, the hands on the watch immediately started to rotate around the face beforing stopping at the correct time!!!! WOW!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Waveceptor also has the following features:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;solar power (fully charged battery lasts up to 5 months!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;water resistent up to 100M&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; luminous hands and face&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;dual time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;alarm and stop watch&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;auto calander&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;12/ 24 hour format&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;The Waveceptor is so comfortable to wear! I have danty wrists yet the watch does not look bulky when I have it on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One lucky reader will win a men's and ladies Waveceptor watch from Casio! Retail value - men's $140, women's $110.&lt;br /&gt;
