In LARABAR Heaven!


Yes, I just died and went to LARABAR heaven. I can’t believe that I doubted these bars for so long. All my RAW, VEGAN, and Gluten Free friends have espoused the deliciousness, the benefits, and the ease of Larabars. I did not believe them, I thought, just another nasty packaged bar with too many added calories and preservatives.


I was so wrong. I should have listen to the RAW FOODISTS! LARABARS have no preservatives, no additives, all raw fruit and nuts. I have no clue how they do this. They are so moist and naturally sweet from the fresh fruit… yes…heavenly!


What is left from my LARABAR combo that I bought this morning….


only 15 left from an 18 pack combo….

LARABARS have so many new exciting flavors that I can not wait to try.


If you read their background history, Lara Merriken started making fruit and nut bars for her hiking adventures in Colorado. Go NOW and buy LARABARS for you, your children, and anyone you love, they will thank you for it!


Through March 31, LARABAR is giving a 20% discount for online orders.

Back from wonderful Okaloosa Island Beach vacation

Just spent the most wonderful week on Okaloosa Island, Florida. It was a family reunion of sorts. As ya’ll know Liz and Dave live there in Ft Walton Beach now, and we have been planning for our Chicago family to visit. Chicago family has not seen Liz and Dave since their wedding (06/07/08), and have prayed and wondered about how they are doing since Dave’s Afghanistan accident (05/11/09) that cost him his leg as well as other injuries.

Here is the gorgeous condo at Bella Riva , Okaloosa Island that we stayed at. It was so amazing. Our Chicago family has 2 Graduate college students, a friend also came. We had our 82 year old Mother or Gammie as the kids call her.
