I realize this is a personal story, and that it is not about any deals, freebies, reviews, giveaways or anything. BUT it is such an important thing to me that I want to share it with you all. We all know that drinking and driving is a bad idea-we have heard it over and over, but in case you need another reminder about why it is SUCH a terrible idea.

Thanks A Thrifty Mom.

Thanks to Yoplait and MyGetTogether, last week I was able to host a Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives® get-together. It was such a fantastic event full of fantastic food, friends, and great information from the book "Promise Me" by Nancy G Brinker, founder of Susan B Komen for the Cure. I was happy to host and had a great party. There were not as many friend that could make it as I had hoped, but hopefully there will be more at the next one! Nonetheless, those that came had a great time as did I. My camera of course died right as I was taking pictures of the food before the party, so I just have a few pictures of the fantastic food.

I have to tell you though that probably my favorite thing about planning this party was getting all the recipes and trying them out. I honestly have not cooked much at all with yogurt in the past so it was fun to try out all the recipes. Check them out:

Here is the spread:
 Here is veggies and crackers with a fantastic yogurt based dip:
 Smoothies, of course, were the yogurt drink of choice!
 These chicken enchiladas (with yogurt as the main part of the filling and sauce mix) were fantastic!! LOVED them:
 Jello and yogurt pies in graham cracker crust.  I actually made up this recipe as I went along and they turned out fantastic!!
 Pasta salad with yogurt based sauce.
 Here is the book I mentioned above-I have startd to read it all the way through and it is a good book so far. Chcek it out!
YUM!! If you want the chance to possible host future event from MyGetTogether, go here to join Pssst and they will occasionally send invitations to host parties. I know the next one coming up is a Chex Mix one...

Do you remember I told you that for an upcoming review, CSN Stores let me pick something to review, and I ordered some items, the main one being the fabulous pair of boots pictured above?! I had a bit more left on my gift code, so I also ordered some more Mr Clean Magic Eraser scrubbers (I LOVE those) and a pen as well.

Well, I have gotten all items now and cannot wait to tell you all about my awesome boots! Wes has promised to take some pictures of me wearing them when he gets home today and I will post pictures and my review tonight or tomorrow!

As a teaser let me just tell you this funny story.  We went to a Nighthawks football game last Thursday night and my 6 year old son (E dawg) was more interested in the cheerleaders than in the game. They were wearing essentially the same boots I bought, except in white.  So, on Friday morning my boots arrived and by the time E dawg got back from school I was wearing them. He notices right away and said "Oooh mom, you look so pretty-you look just like those cheerleaders!!!"  It was funny, and it made me love my boots even more!  :)
