Spring, I think it missed us here in South Dakota.  We went straight from winter to summer.  From 0 degrees to 90 degrees just like that.  And isn’t it great that you can adjust your beverage drinking to accommodate those literally overnight weather fluctuations?!  Hot herbal teas to soothe the sore throats and aches and pains of winter, and an iced herbal tea to energize or relax in the warmth of a summer day.  I’m so glad that I have an assortment of boxes of Bigelow Tea to drink whatever the season might be.

With products that stick, insert and clip to everyday items such as notebooks, planners, laptops and beyond, you can now work productively outside of the home and office and stay organized wherever you are.  This comprehensive line offers Post-it Pockets, Full Adhesive Notes, Flags, Tabs, Notes, Dispensers and Writing Tools in unique new dispensers and product pairings designed for a moblie lifestyle.

On behalf of Universal Pictures, we’re excited to announce that Benjamin Bratt has joined the cast of DESPICABLE ME 2!

Haven’t seen the trailer yet?  (Or even if you have, watch it again, it never gets old!)

Forget about yesterday, today is #FreshMade!  Each day we have a choice, a choice to do the same old routine or do something unique and different.  What have you wanted to do for a long time?  2013 is almost halfway over and it’s time to do something new.  It’s time to grow, it’s time to make your dreams a reality.

Chick-fil-A is helping you make today #FreshMade, by creating new menu options that you can feel good about!

PLANES will be flying into theaters on August 9th and to celebrate we have some fun activity pages to share with you!

You all know I love my coffee.

Sometimes I need it hot.

And sometimes I need it cold.

That can be the way we are with pain relief too, isn’t it?  There are certain injuries and pain that only a cold compress will give us relief.  Other times we need that soothing heat of a hot pack.

There can sometimes be a stigma on the entertainment industry as it relates to movies and our children.  It’s often vocalized as: books good, movies bad.  (Despite the fact that so many movies are actually based on books…)  But when your child is a reluctant reader (like mine), movies matter because many of the same things kids learn from books, can be learned from the movies.

I am SO excited that the weather is finally nice here, and I’m ready for outdoor entertaining and picnics.

Fortunately, Fisher Nuts has once again teamed up with Food Network Chef Alex Guarneschelli, a regular judge onChopped, to offer you a fresh twist on spring recipes, like Strawberry Crostata with Walnuts, Green Bean and Almond Salad, and Baked Clams with Walnuts.

I have a 17 year old daughter.  That means I’m around a lot of teenage girls.  And while my daughter is not an average teenager (she doesn’t have a cell phone!), I know what other girls her age are doing.  Texting, Instagramming, Facebooking, Tweeting – and unfortunately that often happens while they’re driving.  Because of that Toyota and Teen Vogue developed a safe driving campaign “Arrive in Style,” to raise awareness of the dangers of distracted driving among teenage girls and inspire them to make a mutual commitment with their mothers to drive safely.
