Finally getting around to viewing these Miranda!!


I love that you have another formula "tucked" in there, lol! A good little reminder for us to watch our calorie intake!


The article from Chatelaine Magazine, which I'm presuming is Canadian, was well worth the read.


Then you have that google thing at the end- I love google, just what I needed another favorite area of that search engine, lol!
