Blommi - Part 3

Win a $20 Grocery Card and Yoplait Greek Yogurt Thanks to Stop & Shop and MyBlogSpark, I just tried Yoplait’s new Greek yogurt. This fat free yogurt has approximately twice the protein of regular yogurts, and only 130 calories. It is available in four flavors: Blueberry, Strawberry, Honey Vanilla and Plain. For a fat free yogurt, it was surprisingly rich, creamy and filling. I was also pleased to see that High Fructose Corn Syrup was not on the ingredients list. My husband and...

Free WordPress Themes (that aren’t quite so ...

I am a bit of a WordPress theme addict. Even when my blog uses a theme for a length of time, I am probably trying on others behind the scenes.
