I am trying to cook with more honey and maple syrup when I need a sugar.<br /><br />Snack cravings I have gone to apples (which are an estrogen food and supports the hormonal system when hormones are raging) and nuts.<br /><br />For my killer cravings from Dr. Pepper (my soda choice) I have become dependent upon Good Earth's original blend which is super spicy and a bit sweet, but naturally sweet. It's a great go to for that sweet drinkable spicy craving.<br /><br />:)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161381618940135926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-10471985824209923142012-03-31T04:37:12.783-06:002012-03-31T04:37:12.783-06:00I love the smell of springI love the smell of springaspiritofsimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870339828098281415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-25112958191268015692012-03-30T21:43:57.500-06:002012-03-30T21:43:57.500-06:00I saw We Bought a Zoo but don't remember the s...I saw We Bought a Zoo but don't remember the scene you are talking about. Oh well, now that I don't view the world through a kid lens (my youngest is 28) I totally miss these types of scenes. I do agree, they are totally unnecessary even if I don't remember them.<br /><br />However, nothing objectionable in the Anne books. Definitely a fave with me too (book or movie).Susan@FruitfulWordshttp://fruitfulwords.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-41293995616915227782012-03-30T11:25:38.294-06:002012-03-30T11:25:38.294-06:00Duh -- I didn't get my FFF up until just after...Duh -- I didn't get my FFF up until just after lunch time, but then I forgot to link it up til just now.<br /><br />How neat to have a day off together!<br /><br />I agree 100% with your rant.<br /><br />So glad you're loving Anne! The first film is pretty close to the book.<br /><br />I should probably do that with sugar.

I know he'll eat my garden, but I couldn't bear to shoo him away. He was so soft and cuddly looking!<br /><br />Remind me of that when I don't have any green peppers or beans this year, will you? :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289638969194601415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-91547205864077714412012-03-30T09:09:22.519-06:002012-03-30T09:09:22.519-06:00Oh, Susanne, you are woman after my own heart! I ...Oh, Susanne, you are woman after my own heart! I rant about the language and situations they put into movies that add nothing and push the envelope on the rating game. I'm always firing off emails to the movie studios. So many kids are totally desensitized it makes me mad!<br /><br />Sorry to add my own mini rant. I love that you had Saturday time with your husband, and that you are getting some hints of Spring. Things are finally blooming here, and it's worth every sniffle.<br /><br />Anne of Green Gables..

I love the books so much more than the movies - but of course, I love both.<br /><br />I've been thinking about seeing the movie "I bought a Zoo." Too bad Hollywood thinks bad language is okay. It's never okay in my book!Jerraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303751802364926617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-90263777497937597282012-03-30T05:23:07.885-06:002012-03-30T05:23:07.885-06:00Yay for Anne!

I LOVE anne of green gables..have read the whole series and enjoy the movie. Haven't seen the zoo movie yet....it's on our list but that's too bad about a little kid swearing....they really don't have to include that!

I eat all kinds of fruit, but hardly ever grapes. I had a lot of quality time with my hubby as well this week. That is always such a treat, isn't it?
