Two of these is only 100 calories. Thats good. Nice bargain. Yeah. Delicious. Im going to save that for later. Glutenfree and healthy. Why are you laughing there . They want our candy. Cookies and cream. This original is 220 calories. Now, instead of trying to recreate the same texture im just going after mimicking the flavor combination. Im going to start with a vanilla creamy nonfat yogurt with protein and ill sprinkle on the cookies. These are chocolate teddy grams. This is great. Kids like this. This is only 160 calories and the nice part is its loaded with protein so it helps to fill you up. It increases your attention. Thats better to me than the chocolate bar. Thats a two thumbs up.

It is a sad reality that too many marriages end in divorce and that keeps this celebrity divorce attorney busy. She is the lawyer representing Kim Kardashian and Ryan Reynolds and angelina jolie. Her book is how to divorce without destroying your family or bankrupting yourself. Good morning. You Say Something interesting, given all you have seen, you are divorced yourself. You have two children, that you say everybody should get married once. Why do you say that . I just think people say are you antimarriage . I like a good wedding. I like marriages and i feel like if thats part of your experience its nice for people to have that experience. But just do it once. Dont go back in for more. Thats what worked for me. But you also talked about marriage as being a contract. Yes. And divorce being a business. Yes. A business transaction. Too many people enter into their marriages without realizing what theyre doing is entering into a contract and by the time they get to a divorce attorney theyre not thinking about it as a business transaction. If you can take the emotions out of it, which is hard to do and handle it like a business transaction youll save money and anxiety. Because almost allstates are no fault states, you dont want to hear who did what. Lets just figure out what were going to do and divide it. Judges dont want to hear who did what. They dont have time. Its not worth it. You have grievances you need to air. It shouldnt happen within the divorce proceeding. The rules in your book apply to People Like Us as well. Whats the biggest mistake you see people do heading into a divorce. Being too emotional about it. Not being kind to their spouse. Not treating others the way you would like to be treated. And also now what happens if you cant afford to get a divorce. You were saying theres many different models of the family. Absolutely. I think communication is so important. I think if you have a family and for whatever reason in this economic climate you cant afford to get divorced or move out of the house into two separate residences as long as theres communication and you have boundaries established, its not going to be fun but it doesnt need to be war of the roses which didnt go down so well. I am divorced and mine was very quick and relatively easy but it was an interesting thing because he did say to me be happy we dont have children or i would not have made this easy for you. There in lies why im not there anymore. But the idea of once children come in, theres a whole other level to it. The arguing these are the people that become the most affected when we start making it about ourselves instead of the children. Absolutely. Thats why you really need to remember that you are a family and even if youre not a family thats living under the same roof anymore youre still family and your children still depend on you and their other parent to put them first. We have a lot of stories for you to tell. Maybe thats another book. Laura, thank you so much. Good tips for people. Thank you. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc.
