I have a love affair with dishes.  I would switch them out every six months or so – except I would be hard pressed to get rid of the previous set and a girl only has so much shelving space.  I actually still have the two sets that we received for wedding gifts 17 years ago.

For parents many things can be complicated, but providing a healthy diet for your family shouldn’t be one of them.

In this exclusive movie clip from the new documentary “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” Director Morgan Spurlock explains that a 59oz bottle of Minute Maid Pomegranate Blueberry juice contains less than one tablespoon of real pomegranate juice.

I talk about food a lot on my blog and while I have my favorite snacks and brands, I’m always up for trying new and different varieties and flavors from other companies.  One of the things it allows me to do is find snacks that appeal to the tastes of my immediate and extended family and friends.  Since just because I like something, doesn’t mean they will, and vice versa. 

With text, e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and other tech conveniences, we hardly take the time to write handwritten notes anymore.  Still, that’s what makes it even more special when we receive a handwritten note from a loved one.

That’s why Bazooka Candy Brands decided to launch a new product called Sweet Tweets.  Sweet Tweets are small, decorated and colorful note cards featuring cute, candy emoticons attached to each.

Two words that make me smile; cookies & gooey.

The thought of warm gooey chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven – nothing screams “home” louder than that.

People always ask about “me time”.  What is “me time” to you?  Years ago when Amber was little, “me time” meant getting away for a few hours to shop on my own, grab a latté at the coffee shop, or spend some time reading.  Now that she’s older I can do all that whenever I want, so “me time” is a little more personal.  My favorite place to just relax is in a hot shower.

We have found in our home that a Spinbrush encourages longer brushing times, which is great because the longer the brushing, the less time in the dental chair!

Arm & Hammer has now introduced the Spinbrush My Way! for boys.  The girls version was launched in 2010.  The Spinbrush My Way! offers kids the opportunity to creatively express themselves at the bathroom sink while encouraging better oral care habits.

I mentioned in an earlier post how all I need were a few new pieces of clothing for our upcoming cruise.  I lied, there is something else I need, to lose a few pounds!

Because I know, I’ll gain more than just a few while I’m aboard that ship.

Especially when we take our excursion that includes an all you can eat salmon bake, which also includes corn on the cob (read butter), s’mores and cobbler of some sort.

Itchy, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and itchy throat – we all know the symptoms that can make our children miserable from allergies.  And just in the nick of time as we approach the peak allergy season, PediaCare, a trusted brand of children’s non-prescription medicines for the past quarter of a century, just introduced new one-dose per day, Children’s PediaCare 24 Hour Allergy.

Now, four out of five butter lovers agree I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Original tastes just as good as fresh butter.

You can feel good about enjoying fresh butter taste with less saturated fat than actual butter, no cholesterol, no hydrogenated oils and 0g of trans fat, when you use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.  They are also made with a blend of oils rich in omega-3 ALA.
