Pound for Pound food bank challenge

Pound for PoundHere’s a chance to eat healthy, win free groceries and help the nationwide initiative Pound for Pound Challenge. MyBlogSpark, the General Mills blogging program, invited FatHeadDog.com to participate in the Pound for Pound Challenge. Cool premise: For every pound participants pledged to lose through the Pound For Pound Challenge, the sponsors donated 14 cents to Feeding America- enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a food bank in your area.  While they are no longer accepting pledges, you can still help by making a donation directly to Feeding America. I encourage you to check out the site; there’s lot of great information to inspire your healthier eating today.

Kroger wants to help one of my readers save a bit of money while stocking up on healthy food items.  Time for a giveaway! (more…)

A Soup Kinda Gal

Progresso High Fiber1 A Soup Kinda GalSome people are “meat and potatoes” people. Others are carrot stick kind of folks. I’m a soup kinda gal. In fact, I have a soup ancedote that not many can claim. In high school, I was asked to Prom over a bowl of soup. So I was stoked when MyBlogSpark teamed up with Progresso soup to let me host a soup kit giveaway and invited me to review its latest addition to the Progresso product line, High Fiber Minestrone. Mmm, fiber.

Gods of car care… I get the hint.

04733 MOM logo2 right1 Gods of car care... I get the hint.For as much as I love cars, I’m shamefully bad about getting my oil changed on a regular basis. About 2,000 miles past due for my oil change, I recently glanced at that auto shop reminder sticker with guilt–I know I need to do it. I know it can’t be good for the car. But I procrastinate, figuring I’ll get to it soon.

Like a beacon in my mail box, the nice folks at MyBlogSpark invited me to visit www.motoroilmatters.com, sponsored by Shell Lubricants, and learn more about why frequent oil changes are so important. In return, Penzoil through MyBlogSpark offered FatHeadDog a gift certificate to have my oil changed and report on the experience.

Ok!  Gods of car care.. I’ll learn more about the importance of good oil and take my car in for heaven’s sake. I take the hint! Like they asked, I visited Motor Oil Matters, where I learned what the various oil weights, like 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40, mean. And what does the ‘W’ mean? According to the site, not weight, but winter. (Really!?)  See, I did learn something.. how’s that for fun cocktail party trivia?
