About Me
Pizza might be one of my all time favorite foods. But I have a new way of eating it now. I always try to fill my plate with a huge salad and smaller piece of pizza. If I’m tempted to get more of the cheesy stuff, I make sure to refill the greens too. It definitely helps me control portions and leaves me with leftovers for the next day ;)
This was an amazing green smoothie and super simple to make. It’s just 1 mango, 1 orange and lots of fresh parsley (the curly kind) - I probably added about 1 cup of cold water or more (mango’s make smoothies get really thick) and some ice. So good and refreshing.
And the nutrients! Here’s a bit o’ info for you.
Parsley - it’s not just a garnish! It has tons of iron, vitamins C, A, K and folate too. Check out the link to learn more about it’s cancer-fighting properties, heart health benefits, anti-oxidants and more.
Mango - it took me a while to warm up to mangos, but now they are one of my favorite treats. And health-wise, they are full of vitamins C, A and B6, Potassium and Copper. They are also high in fiber and beta-carotene.
Orange - always a crowd pleaser, most of us know they are full of vitamin C, but also vitamin A, calcium and fiber as well as disease-fighting phytochemicals.
And it tastes good whether you know all that or not!

I can’t wait to make these with the coconut frosting - or without any because they look good enough without frosting.
Thankfulfor Moms Ebook!
On May 4th, 2010, we asked members of the Thankfulfor.com community to start posting why they were thankful for a mother in their lives. We also told them we would select a number of our favorites to be included in a special ebook about moms. So from May 4th through May 9th, members posted beautiful words about their mothers, wives, grandmothers and other special women. This book is the result and is dedicated to moms around the world.
For best viewing, click the Fullscreen link below and then use your keyboard arrows to cycle through. Or click download so you can have it to view anytime. Thank you everyone who contributed. You are free to share this with anyone and everyone.

Moms deserve more than just one day a year. To show our appreciation for all the moms in our lives, we are going to write a post each day between now and May 9th dedicated to moms. And, we’re doing a few other special things - but we need your help.
1. Start posting your thanks for the moms in your life now on Thankfulfor - try to post one each day between now and Sunday, May 9th.
2. During that time we’ll select a handful of winners to receive some fun prizes.
3. We’re going to collect all the posts that mention moms and select the best to be published in a beautiful ebook we will be giving away to all Thankfulfor members.
4. We would love for you to share this special ebook with the moms in your life. Don’t worry, we’ll let everyone know when it’s ready.
To make the most of this special tribute, please encourage your friends to sign up and post what they are thankful for about the moms in their lives. Throughout the week we want moms to come to Thankfulfor and see how much they are loved and appreciated!
We’re looking forward to seeing your posts.
It’s coming up fast and I usually get caught at the last minute trying to figure out something creative to do. This year my gift is even more special because it’s a tribute to 2 mamas. My mom, Frannie, who has been a loving, supporting force all my life. and Mama Lucy, a mama to an entire school in Tanzania. Selling chickens for seed money, this woman built a school for kids and now wants to add a home on the campus where in-need children can live. Pretty amazing.
So for a small donation, you get to build a beautiful online mothers day tribute called a “heartspace” for a mom in your life and contribute funds to another mama’s vision of a brighter future for all of her kids. It’s a win win.
If you create your own heartspace, post it in the comments here so I can see :)
