Happy Aloha Friday!

I have my nephew for the weekend starting tonight after he gets out of school.  Since his dad passed away from a massive heart attack, I've had him sleepovers since he was about 3 years old.  He just turned 7 years old on Tuesday.  I bought some healthy snacks for all of us and am planning on making home-made pizzas.  He loves helping me in the kitchen.  It's always fun having him.

Hi Roz, you could try some mint which is meant to be very good for the stomach.  Luckily I'm mostly OK with stomach issues and am eating a pretty hot curry - it's given me a runny nose, he he.

You got me excited talking about M&Ms... I want some chocolate now! :-(

Anyway, have a nice weekend and I look forward to Jody's posts. :-)
