As you may know, I'm part of a blogger network called Social Fabric. During the time that I've been a member, I've had the opportunity to get to know lots of great bloggers from all over....some I've even had the chance to meet in person.

In the book Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think, by Dr. Brian Wansink, he shares how even small changes in people’s everyday food decisions can make a positive difference on their health.
But where do we start and can a small change really make much of a difference?

Men in Black 3 Wisdom: “We need pie” #SEEMIB3
Young Agent K: We need pie.
Agent J: What?
Young Agent K: My grand daddy always said, if you got problems that you can't solve, helps to get out of your head. Pie, it's good.
Is it possible to learn some wisdom from Men in Black 3? I think it might be....and this is my story:
I mentioned about a month ago that I was planning a Men in Black 3 viewing party. My husband & I missed it in theaters (our kids saw it though). Our son kept saying that he couldn't wait for it to come out (by
