I did pretty well at this- had dinner with friends then picked up the living room- until I wanted to finish a crochet project and realized that the pattern was stored on my iPad. Then I wanted to read, and remembered that the book was stored ... On my iPad. So there ended up being some screen time in there at the end of the day. But the rest of it was nice. My hardest thing is limiting the media during the day - I'm a stay at home mom and sometimes the tv or iPad is the first thing you reach for to keep yourself amused.

I use my iPad constantly! It's not something that I would have bought myself, but ever since I won it in a raffle, it's been in constant use. I spend more time online now because the iPad makes it so easy to surf. Also use it a lot in the kitchen for recipes. Other things I use it for: email, Facebook, google maps, Kindle, check weather, stream tv and Netflix. I am probably on it way too much! My husband gets jealous.

We made the curried sweet potato and portabello mushroom recipes from this article this weekend - inspired by the article to fire up the grill for the first time this summer. Amazing! the sweet potatoes are a must for people who love sweet potato as a savory food and not a sweet food. Usually when we grill we do several kinds of meat and one veggie. This time we did the exact opposite and no one missed the meat. I also love grilling Asparagus.

Add it to hot chocolate for an extra warm and flavourful zing! It's especially good in a spicy Mexican type hot chocolate. Also on the chocolate note - try a touch in brownies or chocolate pudding or pots de creme.
