Family Travels
It’s our favorite time of year, and the fact that we spend more time with family and friends is a big part of why we love the holiday season. We have lots of parties and get togethers, and obviously, we eat a lot of food! Appetizers…well, we all know appetizers can make or break a […]
When women get together, the one thing that seems always be a topic of conversation is food and weight. Women tend to be self deprecating, and conversations revolve around commiserating with each other about how much weight we need to lose, how bad we think we look, or even how bad we think other women […]
I think my best physical feature is my legs. I used to hate them as a teen because their were so muscular but now I really appreciate them especially in heels 🙂
I do not fat talk, ever, I mean ever! The only thing I want is to feel good…This is what I teach my kids!
It is really sad. I hear of so much “Fat shaming” when I’m out and about and it makes me want to scream.
My best physical features are my BIG brown eyes and super long 36″ inseam legs:) Yep love my long, lean legs!!
I have a pretty smile. Thanks, Penelope, for making me think something positive about myself!
I love my legs! Strong, athletic and feminine!
I do feel bad about my body occasionally – like when I’ve gained a few lbs over my normal weight…but other than that I love myself! At one time I thought I was ugly but now I embrace my face and body and love it!
I love my eyes and my lips! I feel fat talk is so common because the media constantly promotes size 0 as a standard for beautiful. Perhaps if they embraced the more common sized woman a bit more, we would learn to feel better about ourselves.
I think my best feature is my fingernails. I get so many compliments and everyone wants to know my secret on keeping them long.
That infographic is right! I am most likely to fat talk about (TO) myself in front of the mirror.
I think my best physical feature is my face. I like my eyes, nose and mouth.
I am totally guilty of the fat talk! I sometimes make comments about being fat now – though I AM 39 weeks pregnant. It’s something I definitely need to work on.
So what is your best feature?
I’d say my eyes – I love their color!
I need to start thinking of my best feature as opposed to my bad features.
What is your best feature? You have pretty eyes in my opinion 🙂
I believe every woman is beautiful in her own way! Personally, I love my legs. 🙂
I am actually pretty happy with my body, for once in my life. 🙂 But really, my best feature is my face – I’m lucky to have green eyes, which isn’t very common where I live. Most people have brown eyes so everyone notices mine!
I guess my best feature is my eyes…maybe my smile.
I am DEFINITELY guilty of Fat-Tak … but I DO like my curls and my green eyes. Those things I can always rely on to look good. 😉
You do have a rockin’ bod too, I agree 😉
I love, love, love this campaign.
I’ve got a great rack. Or so I’ve been told. 🙂
That’s not a bad feature to have *wink*
But you didn’t share your best feature! Tell, tell (brag on yourself!)
I’ve often gotten compliments on my hair and legs. Best features. I love this and it’s a great gentle reminder that we need to focus on the positive.
I really have a hard time when it comes to answering things like this because honestly when I look in the mirror I don’t really see beauty. If I had to pick something though, it would probably be my collar bone.
I would say my eyes.
Kathleen, you are such a pretty woman! And your sons look so much like you, they have a lot of your beauty (translated into male form though, lol)…you have gorgeous eyes and a pretty smile to start with. In some parts of the world the collar bone is considered very sexy, so it’s kept covered- I always thought that was really interesting.. in other areas the back of the neck was considered erotic and sensitive, so women had to keep their hair down unless they were looking for attention 🙂
I love my face! My family used to make fun of me when I was a kid because I have such a big, wide face, but I have grown to love it. My 3yo has taken after me and has a wide face, too. I think she’s absolutely beautiful.
My mom has that feature too and people think she is stunning- wide cheekbones are never a bad thing! It’s a sign of beauty in pretty much all cultures (universal sign of beauty)
You know I’ve never really thought about it. I’d have to say my hair I guess. It’s really thick and grows quickly.
This is really a hard thing for me, but I do like my dark brown wavy, curly hair. Ironically, I straighten it a lot of the time. lol
I like my hair. Sometimes it gets on my nerves, but it’s long and straight and for the most part cooperates with me.
I absolutely LOVE my eyes. I don’t even need to enhance them with make-up.
I love my dimples!!! 🙂 I always hated them growing up but now I love them.
Dimples are the BEST! Both my sons have them, and they got them from me 😉
My older son just turned four, my Thanksgiving turkey (he was born on Thanksgiving Day), so this time of year has special meaning for us. He is old enough to have fun with me in the kitchen, stirring and mixing, and he loves to do it, so I wanted to make my traditional pumpkin pie […]
First of all, Penelope, what an adorable and awesome idea for a pie! Love the idea of cookie cutters to make the top like that!
Second, I have so many fond memories myself of growing up and helping my mom bake. There’s just something fun about it and I’m sure your son will remember this time as much as you do!
Also, Happy Belated Birthday to the little guy!
It’s so much fun when cooking and baking with kids!
It’s official that I want this printer! it looks cool!
That’s a very cool printer…love the size.
I totally want this printer!
I love the idea of having a printer right at home so you can print your photos anytime.
I LOVE my printer, but yours has such cool photo printing features! I need something like that so I actually remember to print stuff out.
I love the idea of printing the collage out where he can see it all the time. So much fun!
Your little boy is sooo stinkin CUTE! Happy belated birthday to him! That collage turned out beautifully!
How fun! He looks like he is thoroughly enjoying his time in the kitchen baking with you.
The great thing about being a Thanksgiving baby is that you’ll often get a huge feast on your birthday. Your pie looks spectacular and the memories you created are even better!
What a great little printer, I would love to have something like this.
This is so sweet! My hubby keeps asking me to make a pumpkin pie, but crazy me.. I hate it! I don’t like the texture at all. I should have M make him one 😉 adore the pictures as always!
What a unique pumpkin pie, I am going to have to give this recipe a try next year!
We do a lot in this kitchen, and it basically serves as a command center in our home. I also cook a lot from scratch, so there is often fresh chicken breast waiting to be cooked, or cracked eggs, dustings of flour, and chopped veggies sprinkling the counter while I prepare meals. While I love […]
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. I received product samples to facilitate my review. Most coffee makers make coffee. Some make flavored coffees and teas. More expensive, specialized models make cappuccinos and other specialty drinks. And then there is the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto GENIO Coffee Maker, […]

I picked up a pumpkin spice Chex seasoning mix on clearance at Target – I really need to get on making that while the season of pumpkin is still here!
I’ve never eaten Chex Mix anyway but dry, but I’m really wanting to try your recipe now!
I’m loving finding new Chex Mix recipes! My kids will totally LOVE this!
I love that you added marshmallows to this. My son would have a blast making this with me. Pinning!
OH WOW! I’m going to have to do this. This is awesome!!!!! I never would have thought to mix marshmallows!! Pinning!
Oooo — I have a little boy that would be ALL OVER this thanks to those marshmallows!
I seriously want to go to the store RIGHT NOW so I can make a big batch of this and snack on it at my desk all day.
The basic Chex Mix is my fave, with the Worcestershire sauce…yum!
I am actually making a Chex mix for our family party on Sunday! But mine is a little different, I use white chocolate. Yum!
That ooey, gooey marshmallow sounds absolutely amazing in there. I would eat SO much of that yummy mix!
That’s a creative and festive recipe for Chex mix. Sounds and looks amazing, too!
Yum! I’m totally making this!
I love the sugar cookie chex party mix. It’s so amazingly good!
Ooh yum! I love that the recipe is microwaveable, that saves a lot of clean up!
I love how festive this looks Penelope!
I haven’t tried that one yet, but it sounds really good! Sugar cookies!!
That is a new take to chex mx!! I love it and looks super cute and really tasty!!
This is so festive and delicious! Totally worth the mess.
Oh boy, that would not last long in this house, it looks so yummy and festive!
That is certainly a delicious gooey mixture! I’m a sucker for Chex mix and really enjoy taste testing new combinations.
My husband and kids love Chex Mix. I’ll have to make this for them soon.
I’ve had this before, it’s delicious!
You have?? It’s my original recipe, that means someone else is as brilliant at recipe creation as I am 🙂
I love chex mix on its own but love the idea of the additions 🙂 Can’t refuse improvements!
I love check party mix. I love to make it for the holidays. It’s the perfect easy treat to make.
I keep meaning to pick up some marshmallows… I already have Chex & M & Ms
I like that there is no Peanut Butter in it. I think I wouldn’t heat it up and just let it be a mix, without the gooey factor.
Oh that looks amazing and so easy to make. I love treats that have the salt/sweet they are definitely the best.
Looks tasty!
Usually I am partial to the savory Chex mixes, but this one looks SO good–I wish I had a bowl of it to snack on right now! 🙂
This looks incredible, something my kids would eat WAY too much of. I love how Chex party Mix recipe can be made to suit the flavors you enjoy.
YUM! This would be perfect for all holiday parties!
