Blog Hunting

This blog, Homeschool Zoo Annex , comes from a homeschooling Mom who seems to have it all together. I found her to be informative, giving information for other homeschoolers to find good deals on schooling materials, deals and bargains. Sounds great to me.

She has posts on a variety of subjects including a science blog that will help the kids. I will probably do a review of that blog soon too! And there is a good bit of information on auctions as well. Of course, being a SAHM, she is savvy to the type of shopping one has to do with kids. And there is a post on coin collecting. This is an all around blog that is worth the read!

I have toured the blog site of Divine Caroline a few times now. She is giving us a number of tips for various things like parenting, travel, money saving tips and so on. But now, she is throwing open the mystery door on the ingredients for Twinkies.

This is difficult for me because I love the things. Those have been with me since I can remember and that’s quite a while. I remember them back in the fifties, if that helps. They were always the snack food of choice. But somewhere along the line someone got a little off course on what goes into those previously nice snack foods.

Divine Caroline points out the nasty side of the snack food with her observations of the primary ingredients including several that come from ROCKS!! Yes, that’s what I said. Oil fields, gypsum mines, phosphate mines, natural gas all bring something to the beloved product. Believe me, there is more to discover about this snack food, once thought to be close to the perfect snack food product. I can tell you that we will no longer be buying Twinkies until they change the ingredients in their product.

Thank you, Divine Caroline, for bringing this to our attention!
