But, Abraham herself has been under fire for supposedly giving her 7-year-old weight loss tea to purge Halloween candy. Abraham didn't, and it was only milk in the child's cup. But according to new medical wisdom, "teatoxes" aren't any better for parents than they are children.

Is there a real-life "Micky and Maude" sitch in Hollywood? Perhaps, if rumors are true that #Miranda Lambert is pregnant with boyfriend Anderson East while Lambert's ex-husband #Blake Shelton and his girlfriend are also expecting. Is it too much coincidence to hope for? More likely, the rumors are just that. But Lambert did cancel all upcoming "Keeper of the Flame" tour concerts to rest her voice. At least that's what she says. If it is just speculation, it's a little unfair to Lambert given the divorce just happened last year. <a href="http://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2016/10/miranda-lambert-pregnancy-rumor-blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-pregnant-how-funny-is-that-001174755.html">Miranda Lambert pregnancy rumor, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani pregnant: how funny is that?</a>Marilisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00153163314905846386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522659114378595341.post-52435682332355606902016-06-24T16:23:00.001-04:002016-06-24T16:23:57.064-04:00Free printable DIY wedding planners, budget wedding planning for a cheap wedding Summer is the season for weddings.

A 100-year-old couple celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary in a Catonsville, Maryland retirement community, reported the Associated Press on August 18. Walter and Leslie Kimmel were married on August 18, 1940. They met at church when they were both 22. She was an organist and he sang in the choir. The couple had two children, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The centenarians live in Charlestown Retirement Community.

Summer is a great time to trim fat. Eating lighter vegetable-based meals helped me lose 100 pounds gained after losing two stillborn babies and taking the antidepressant Paxil. I trimmed 11 BMI points and 9 clothing sizes--not with invasive steps like surgery. I cut calories, controlled portions and made healthier food swaps like those in Men's Health "Eat This, Not That." I follow weight loss gurus like Dr. Oz and amend my diet as I learn more. Sometimes, advice is contradictory. So I experiment. If it works, I keep doing it. Here's how I lost 100 pounds with fat-burning food swaps from A-Z. Eat through the alphabet to thin with bulge-busting food switches.<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/summer-fat-burning-food-swaps-from-a-z-eat-through-the-alphabet-to-thin">Summer fat burning food swaps from A-Z: Eat through the alphabet to thin</a><br /><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Here is a list of must-have kitchen tools. Give these gifts to your favorite chef this holiday season. These kitchen utensils make ideal wedding gifts and bridal shower gifts. Each is priced at $3-$10 and easy on the budget.<br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<br /></div>
<i><b>mesh dipper</b></i>: large scoop used to separate foods from hot water or oil. Also called a "spider" in Asian cooking.<br />
<br />
<b><i>bamboo cooking utensils: </i></b>Bamboo, unlike wood, is a quickly-renewable and great cooking. Use in place of wooden spoons; bamboo resists stains and food contamination.<br />
<br />
<b><i>silicone or rubber scraper</i></b>: Scrapers made of plastic are useless. To cleanly scrape, the paddle must be made of silicone or rubber. Choose sets with several sizes, including a small, narrow scraper for getting inside containers with small openings.<br />
<br />
<i><b>palm chopper:</b></i> Sharp crescent cutting blade works great for fine chopping nuts, vegetables, onions, tomatoes. Sheath keeps blade sharp and prevent cuts.<br />
<br />
<b><i>silicone/wire whisk</i></b>: Whisks make excellent kitchen tools for mixing. Silicone whisks are easier to clean and don't rust. Wire whisks do a better job of thoroughly mixing.<br />
<br />
<i><b><br /></b></i><br />
<b><i>cook's knife with honing case: </i></b>These knives are sharpened by squeezing the sheath or cover and pulling the knife through. Available from <a href="http://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/category_details.tpc?code=CE&id=4&parentCatId=4&parentId=" target="_blank">The Pampered Chef</a> in three sizes: paring, utility and chef's knife.<br />
<br />
<b><i>IKEA utility "slitbar"</i></b>--Swedish for "knife"-- IKEA's products organized by Swedish name--mine's stayed sharp for four years!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=112837&RN=2060" target="_blank"><b><i>Chop and scoop cutting board</i></b></a> I have two sizes of these remarkable cutting boards. For the cook who likes portable cutting boards, they are ideal. Edges are curved up to prevent spills. The cutting board has a silicone handle and a narrowed edge for pouring chopped foods into cooking pan. To clean and sanitize this nylon cutting board, soak it in bleach water.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Extra large stainless steel mixing bowl</i></b>: Extra wide is good too--diameter of 18- 24 inches. Extra diameter provides plenty of work space. Dollar General sells a basic large stainless steel mixing bowl for $5.<br />
