Motivated Women Podcast

Day 3 of NaPodPoMo.nbsp; I've upped the difficulty factor. I'm using Skype, Audacity and the mixer.

I had the pleasure today of talking "Mom Shop" with Jen Avila.nbsp; We have found we have more in common than one would think.nbsp; Our children have special things about them that we deal with everyday in many ways.nbsp; This episode reminds me that I am not alone and neither are you.nbsp; Reach out and touch someone today!nbsp; Go do something for yourself too.

Day 2 of NaPodPoMo.nbsp; Recorded and posted all on my own.nbsp; Sorry for any mistakes I missed.

Pumpkin Dip:

1 8oz package of cream cheese softened

1 tbsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice.

Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together, slowly add the pumpkin and then add the spices. nbsp;Refrigerate. nbsp;Serve with ginger snaps.I adapted this recipe to make it a bit more diet healthy. nbsp;Instead of cream cheese I used Neufchatel cheese and used 1 jar of marshmellow creme instead of powdered sugar. nbsp;Another coworker substituted cool whip for the powdered sugar.
