I just moved to a new/old home and it has inspired me to start blogging again. We have been lucky enough to purchase my husbands ancestral home that was built in 1892.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ugh, I have been sick....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Usually when I am sick I can work through it, if I stay home I can get up and move around and do the absolute minimum to keep my household going.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not this time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two days in bed, barely moving and not eating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dishes piling up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On day two I decided to google what I thought I had and when my symptoms matched up, I summoned all the energy I could and drove to the clinic and had my suspicions confirmed. I have strep throat!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am on antibiotics, on the mend and back at work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hate being so sick I cant do anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the positive my husband made dinner two nights in a row, a miracle!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy to be feeling better for the weekend ahead.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday is supposed to be my weigh in day but after 3 weeks of frustrating weigh ins I decided to do some comparison weigh ins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My current scale is a dial scale and every time I look at it the dial is offset on the zero marker. so I started to lose faith in its accuracy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My mother was nice enough to lend me her digital scale and I hopped on it today to see if it was a scale issue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess what?! I think it is. This scale had me down four pounds from Sunday! It is next to impossible for me to have lost four pounds in 48 hours but I do believe this means my dial scale has been lying to me. Sending me into a tizzy for nothing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="let it be." src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5c/25/d2/5c25d2bb47f52554563458431d2d7dfe.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I plan to continue to do what I was planning to do already this week and see how things look on Sunday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My goals this week are:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Drink more water</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Be active between work out days</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Plan my work meals before work</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am always looking for a new to me product that might change my life. I kept hearing about <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CMLHEC/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002CMLHEC&linkCode=as2&tag=mommywit0d-20%22%3EIt%27s%20a%2010%20Miracle%20Leave-In%20Product,%2010-Ounce%20Bottle%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=mommywit0d-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B002CMLHEC%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product</a> from different vlogs and blogs and really didn't give it too much thought as I was under the impression it was for heat treated hair, which I do not have.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_f_AqZsBmMPCh4yeRbQkkjYRg4owqP66Luf0G2QM2ekDsRDMw_AkxTPYLHAG0Uyxpw37-gsmI1cuW-RL6rB3wyuEXUne-1hgFGVAamfJUxV5klfOxQ7KH9b51Kny6CRyg31Wvcy-7yhgU/s1600/IMG_5966.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_f_AqZsBmMPCh4yeRbQkkjYRg4owqP66Luf0G2QM2ekDsRDMw_AkxTPYLHAG0Uyxpw37-gsmI1cuW-RL6rB3wyuEXUne-1hgFGVAamfJUxV5klfOxQ7KH9b51Kny6CRyg31Wvcy-7yhgU/s1600/IMG_5966.JPG" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was recently in my local target with Nat, from <a href="http://iheartthisblog.com/" target="_blank">iheartthisblog</a>, when she informed me of the miracle nature of this product. I was sceptical at first glance, mostly due to the price, but when I returned to Target next, it found its way into my basket.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was not cheap so I had high hopes it was worth the money. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One reason I love the beauty blog community is that others test out the products for you and share their opinions, making it easier for you to try the products yourself since you already have an idea what is like.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I brought it home and tried it out. Like I expected I was not disappointed. It smelled nice, it de-tangled my hair and kept it that way until I showered next. My hair was also very soft and shiny, always added bonuses! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a promise that this would be my leave in conditioner and I would leave the girls with what we already had. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then my daughter came home from swimming without showering or combing her hair! This is disastrous as she has very thick hair that is difficult to deal with on a good day. I decided to sparingly share Its a 10 with her and I was fully won over. It made brushing her hair a breeze and made her hair gorgeous once dried.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBbiiuRkyyulYWiOAioCwpanIOXukCV1yCD37FoA1pRR_Gb0hv-Q7jarraHkzoainMaVUXEd2x-ShN0rJUWz-u8STkX886jl3MP5F8K4B1TdNyHDHUOEmjzy-wSRX48Q2YOiGZbZx4K2YW/s1600/IMG_5970.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBbiiuRkyyulYWiOAioCwpanIOXukCV1yCD37FoA1pRR_Gb0hv-Q7jarraHkzoainMaVUXEd2x-ShN0rJUWz-u8STkX886jl3MP5F8K4B1TdNyHDHUOEmjzy-wSRX48Q2YOiGZbZx4K2YW/s1600/IMG_5970.JPG" height="320" width="213" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really do not want to use it on her hair but because it made it so easy to deal with I am not sure I will be able to hold myself back from using it again on her hair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really recommend the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CMLHEC/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002CMLHEC&linkCode=as2&tag=mommywit0d-20%22%3EIt%27s%20a%2010%20Miracle%20Leave-In%20Product,%2010-Ounce%20Bottle%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=mommywit0d-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B002CMLHEC%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">It's a 10 Miracle Product</a> if you are in search for the best leave in product and de-tangler.

<span style="font-size: large;">Worked in the garden this weekend. Its slow going as it is still early days and not much is showing its face.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had my little helper getting involved she likes to help wherever she can.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I still have lots of seeds to plant and I have to determine where I am going to plant everything.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's hoping we have more nice weather coming our way!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another Sunday morning brings another weigh in. I have neither loss nor gained so I guess I can't complain but I am left unsatisfied.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I ate breakfast all week, I thought about what I was eating and I worked out.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thoughts for next week is to move more between work outs, track every morsel as I am eating it and really watch my proportions at dinner time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Any words of wisdom? </span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Always on the search for some new miracle product, I was lucky to hear about an amazing top coat that dried instantly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I first heard about this product on YouTube but I couldn't recall what video I had seen it in or what the product was called.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was talking to my lovely friend, Nat, from <a href="http://iheartthisblog.com/" target="_blank">iheartthisblog</a> and she was talking about a new top coat she bought and I knew immediately that she was talking about the same product I was searching for.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went to my local Winners to find it and it was no where to be seen. I had to turn to the internet and when I found Seche Vite on <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/products/seche-vite-dry-fast-top-coat.html" target="_blank">Nail Polish Canada</a> I immediately ordered it and eagerly awaited its arrival.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It did not disappoint. I assembled my manicure tools and got ready to paint. I could not wait for the last step to see if Seche Vite would live up to its reputation.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a mother of two I do not have time to sit and wait while my nail polish dries. Within minutes my nails were dry to the touch. I was over the moon excited. Finally I won't ruin my manicure minutes after finishing. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday is weigh in day for my program and unfortunately I gained two pounds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know its all a part of the process and I also know what I did 'wrong' this week. I over worked myself, didn't eat properly and missed breakfast most days. On Friday I was so exhausted I couldn't finish my work out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">None of this is the end of the world and I know it is another set of lessons to learn and put into practice going forward.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have already prepared my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow so I hope that will help me make the right choices for tomorrow and the week ahead</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well today is weigh in day with my weight watchers program and I am down another pound!</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That make 6 pounds in total since I have started this journey. It may not be a major milestone in the weight loss/ health journey but it is a step down the path.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am very happy with this result and it really gives me an extra bit of effort to push forward and continue on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am trying to eat smartly and not with a manic need to be dieting at all moments of my life. I know that this needs to be long term so I allow my self treats and the use of my extra points to have what I want, even if that means eating a cheese burger and learning later that it took half of my daily points. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will not live a life of deprivation but I will make smart choices and learn moderation,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When we first moved into this house it was about 800 square feet and needed a lot of love. The garden was small but because of the age of the house it held many hidden treasures awaiting to be found come spring.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last year we began an addition to our home to increase the size in hopes of staying here longer. That meant an overhaul of the yard and me having to turn a blind eye as my husband brought in heavy duty machinery to dig and blast.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The first year we live here I was told by a neighbour not to cut our boulevard until after all the flowers bloomed. I thought eh was a bit crazy as it just looked like grass growing in, but I was in for a surprise.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was really intrigued by the product and interested if it would make any difference to my eyebrows. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My first time using it I made the mistake of using the dark shade first and though it wasn't s a horrible result it took some getting used to of how intense my eye brows were for that day.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have continued to play with the shading and shaping and I have really fell in love with this product. It is a great introduction to filling in your own brows and it came with everything I would need.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After just a little bit of practice this was the result:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The difference is quite subtle but I feel like it finishes the look and I feel put together once my brows are done. Its an added definition to my face that I really like.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have never been big on new years resolutions, something about goals and expectations that I don't like. This year though I thought I would unofficially set some aspirations for the year, not based on vanity but on a generalized vision of how I want my life to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of these aspirations was to feel healthier in all aspects of my life, mind and body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am lucky enough to have a mother in law who is a personal trainer and a gym in her basement. I started to go see her three times a week at the beginning of the year and I have seen lots of results as my body has gotten stronger and I have gained some confidence in my own bodies ability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to take it up a notch as I am tired of not fitting into my clothes, living in yoga pants and not being able to buy the clothes I love. This decision was not based on a want to skinny but my want to feel comfortable in my skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since having kids the scale has only moved upwards with very short periods of weight loss and since I have already added the physical part of the equation I decided to join <a href="http://www.weightwatchers.ca/" target="_blank">weight watchers</a> to help me track what I was eating in the hopes I could figure out what was holding me back from being a healthier me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have decided to go into this tracking everything from the good to the bad to the ugly. I am going to try to do more planning of what I am going to eat and try not fall into old habits due to poor planning. I know its not going to be a perfect uneventful journey but its one worth exploring and I hope to have some good results even if I stumble.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am really excited for the coming of spring. It hasn't been a particularly tough winter but I have found since having kids I really need warm weather and the ability to go outside with them. The arrival of spring buds fills me with a joy that I don't think I can put it into words. </span></div>

It was originally my brothers and all I wanted was to be 16 and be able to drive this car. Unfortunately my parents were in a car accident and the car was totaled before I reached 16. This car has been in my thoughts this week I really loved this car.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been looking for a highlighter to play with but had no idea where to start. I found myself at one of my local drugs stores and stumbled over the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00BCI8AVA/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=330641&creativeASIN=B00BCI8AVA&linkCode=as2&tag=mommywithav0c-20%22%3ESmashbox%20Soft%20Lights%20Highlighter%20-%20Shimmer%20(Shimmery%20Nude%20Bronze)%200.35oz%20(10g)%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-ca.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=mommywithav0c-20&l=as2&o=15&a=B00BCI8AVA%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">Smashbox Soft Lights Highlighter in the colour Shimmer </a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">Last but not least I continued my search for the best concealer for my skin. The cosmetician suggested to me her favourite concealer <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00FA9W482/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=330641&creativeASIN=B00FA9W482&linkCode=as2&tag=mommywithav0c-20%22%3EClarins%20Instant%20Concealer%20-%20# 01 (Yellowy Beige) 15ml</a><img src="http://ir-ca.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=mommywithav0c-20&l=as2&o=15&a=B00FA9W482" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />" target="_blank">Clarins Instant Concealer</a> and I was instantly impressed with it. It goes on smooth, it stays put and it is easy to use. I am still on the fence if it earns a place high on my list of favourites but I am happy with it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Motherhood seems to be a constant onslaught of battles. There are many times of peace but when it hits it hits. The waves of issues to be dealt with hit you one after another, well now that I think about it that just seems to be life in general....hmmm....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway this week has been a tough one. A week that brings you to lean heavily on your vices, whatever they might be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My work out schedule has be neglected and so has any hope of eating smart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have done more laundry then I have done in a month and there is still more waiting to be done. I have waited in a doctors clinic for over two hours with two kids under the age of five and lost my marbles in the parking lot at work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am scared to go to sleep tonight in the fear of waking up and facing tomorrow and all the joy it might bring. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe that sounds a bit dramatic but it has been a rough 4 days.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No one informed me how tough being a mommy is. It has fabulous and amazing rewards but it is also the toughest thing I have ever done, if you know a mom do something special for her, even it is acknowledging all that she does.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span id="goog_1920577422"></span><span id="goog_1920577423"></span>As mentioned before I love <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. I especially love finding recipes on it.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you but I am on an ongoing journey trying to find the best of the best of all my favourite foods. A lot of my recipes that I have been making for years I continue to change and experiment with.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I want to share a pizza dough recipe. My family loves pizza and since I have not found a pizza dough that I love we usually order it. Not any more!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this recipe on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> and after reading the recipe on <a href="http://themamasgirls.com/mamas-best-pizza-dough/">The Mamas girls</a>, I decided to give it a try.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was not disappointed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dough came together super easy and there was barely any resting time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2x7rzWsEhNcb_2lpr-xQtXKkJKZYA5R8UKLLrOw6nqzhN16gFm6o7dfGkTHMMw1q2CMzgfJdN_xWPnlmANHaARkEqLkPyXmP1LVWqd7fK41qpWhdi7Trx5MHn-BeXDl_vKFyH2dBrji_D/s1600/IMG_5657.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2x7rzWsEhNcb_2lpr-xQtXKkJKZYA5R8UKLLrOw6nqzhN16gFm6o7dfGkTHMMw1q2CMzgfJdN_xWPnlmANHaARkEqLkPyXmP1LVWqd7fK41qpWhdi7Trx5MHn-BeXDl_vKFyH2dBrji_D/s1600/IMG_5657.JPG" height="291" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dough doubled in size quickly and easily separated into three individual pizza's. I probably could have made four without a problem.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is really the best pizza dough I have ever worked with and it was so good. Everyone agreed!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you like pizza like my family does I would suggest trying this pizza dough for yourself. It was so easy to make and the results were amazing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you do give it a try let me know, I would love to know what you thought of it.</span></div>
