Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles - Cheeseburger Macroni

My husband tried this yesterday and thought it was great. He is not always impressed by things cooked in the microwave but he was impressed with this. He said the pasta was well cooked. A quick little snack/lunch item to have on hand for the kids this summer.

If you have a chance, watch an episode. I think I have it rough sometimes with 1 child who is 18 months old, I can't imagine what it would be like with (6) 3-year olds and (2) 7-year olds.

The show comes on Monday nights at 9pm on TLC.

First Review - Neutrogena Microderm Cleansing Pads
I received 3 of these yesterday in my Baby Gift Pack from Johnson & Johnson. They are excellent. You slide the pad onto your fingers, hold under warm water, scrub with the beaded side first and then the striped side. It left my face very soft, clean, and
refreshed. Excellent way to exfoliate.

CVS Price - $7.99 for 24 Each

Definitely Would Buy!!
