BiteSizers by Mixed Pears
BiteSizers are a easy to use toddler food scissors, (I also use them for my 84 year old mom). They easily cut food down to the right size straight in the bowl or plate. I keep one at home. BiteSizers come with a snap-on cap, so easy to keep in my bag for when I am eating out with my grandchildren. They insist that I cut up their food. Love that!

MYFITNESSPAL
I want to talk about MyFitnessPal app.
My daughter in law told me about it, she claimed that it was helping her lose those unwanted few pounds. You know those pounds that we just cannot seem to shake off.
So I downloaded MyFitnessPal app . I am so happy with it. Now everything I put in my mouth I can get a calorie count. It tells me how many calories I can consume daily. MyFitnessPal is so user friendly. If you have an i-phone it counts your daily steps. Did you know that you need to take 10,000 steps daily. The best is that when you do a cardio work out, it adds back calories to your daily program.
- Medical studies show that keeping a food journal DOUBLES your weight loss!
- Quickly add and log recipes from across the web

Myfitnesspal gives your
