Aloha!

Now that I am working, all I can think about is saving enough money to take the kids and I on some type of vacation this summer.  I know they are wanting to go to the beach, so I am hoping maybe one weekend we can load up and take a trip there.  I would love to be able to take off to Hawaii, but that just isn't possible right now.

Or is it?

Old London is giving away a four day, three night, all expense paid experience to the island of Oahu, and I really want to win.  You can find all the details and enter for yourself on their facebook page.  The experience includes a private cooking lesson at the award winning Chef Mavro restaurant.  I would love this. 

I am assuming that you all know about Old London, and the products they make.  My personal favorite is their melba snacks.  I was sent a bunch of different samples, but the whole wheat sea salt flavored melba snacks were my favorite.  I was also sent a bunch of Hawaiian recipes to try out, and while they sounded delicious, I made my version of bruschetta to go on top of the crackers, and it was delicious.  You can find all kinds of different recipes using their products here

The thing I like best about these snack crackers is that they can be a part of a healthy diet.  You all know I have recently lost 80 pounds, and I am trying to lose a bit more.  It is also important to me that I keep this weight off.  Having healthy snacks around the house makes it easier to stick to my diet.  The kids love them, too, which is great, because I prefer they eat something other than junk food.

Okay, I am off to dream about this Hawaiian vacation I plan on winning.  I can already see myself on the sandy white beach, relaxing in the sun with a good book.  Now if I only had a man to take with me...

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Old London and received product samples and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

I would love to lose a few pounds, but I don't think I want to use your method :) I need to stop eating. I too would love to sit on the beach and read a book... heck, I'd love to just sit and read a book forget the beach.
