If you're like many moms out there (including me) you're trying to do your best to eat better and live a healthier lifestyle. It's not always easy especially when it comes to the holidays that family members like to get you things like chocolates and other sweets. This year I told my husband and kids "no chocolate and candy for me" for Mother's Day. No matter how much they think I might like it I am trying hard to steer clear of the unnecessary added sugar. I would much rather receive a gourmet basket filled with naturally sweet things like apples! Kind of like the Orchard's Abundance - Fruit Gift Basket from Gourmetgiftbaskets.com. They always have wonderful baskets to choose from and their foods are always fresh. Just look at those luscious red apples and "orange" oranges. And I will be the first to tell you they tasted just as good as they look. I would be happy with a basket like this any day over one filled with chocolates and other candies. Yes this basket did have a few candies in it, but it was only a few which is much better than an entire basket full when you're trying to behave.
