by hykuI spend far too much time aimlessly surfing the web each day.  I admit it.  But that’s where I get most of my entertainment news, I’m not sure entirely if that’s a good or bad thing.  In any case I came across some fun information today about Buzz and Woody going on a cruise.

Well not really Buzz and Woody – but really Tim Allen and Tom Hanks – well not really them either.  See Disney signed them up to do a live-action movie based upon the ‘Jungle Cruise’ ride in the Disney Parks.  How fun does that sound?!

Horizon Fat-Free Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 is the latest product to join the company’s line of organic milk fortified with DHA Omega-3.  The new Fat-Free Milk Plush DHA Omega-3 provides consumers with the same healthy benefits of DHA-fortified milk, but with less fat and calories.  It is the first and only fat-free milk product enhanced with DHA Omega-3 on the market.

Do you have a wacky or hilarious last-minute dinner drama moment?  I’m sure you do, we all do!  So I’m going to let you in on mine, the one that I’ve kept a secret for a long time.

It has to do with making honeyed carrots.  I had one of those great microwave pots from Pampered Chef.  I loved it.  I made virtually all my veggies in it for dinner.  My family doesn’t care for carrots terribly much, but if I add some honey to them and sweeten them up, they’ll eat them. 

Homeowners renovate for two reasons: because they have to or because they want to.  Or, more precisely, they work on home improvements to maintain the value of their home, or because they want to enjoy their house as much as they can.

We’re in the hate group, and can I say hate with a capital H.  Our first home was a house my dad built.  For the most part it was well constructed, there were some issues, but Daddy was always a phone call away to come over and help us out.

Going glam and being green don’t need to be mutually exclusive, especially when it comes to decorating your home. Makers of recycle bins and kitchen compost bins have started incorporating modern materials into their products, allowing consumers to have greener households without compromising their personal style.

Very few people send their children to school with disposable lunch bags these days.  Most kids have a favorite character lunch bag or box, that they tote along each day and carry their meal with them.  But what about inside?

Luggage fees when flying has been at the forefront of my mind right now as we get ready to pay the rest of our Alaskan Cruise down, and start looking for flights to Vancouver.  It costs us enough already to fly out of our rinkydink airport and I don’t need to worry about whether my luggage is overweight and get slapped with yet another fee.  A new product makes it easier than ever to make sure your luggage doesn’t go over the weight limit.

Park Avenue Shirt Co. has t-shirts with fun designs and some that are right over the top!  When I was asked to review one, I was first going to let my husband choose, but then I found a perfect one for him, the ‘Alaska Come for the Adventure’ t-shirt.

Each year millions tune into Univision and Telemundo to watch the latest prime time telenovelas.  Having always been popular in Central and South America, telenovelas have gained greater popularity in the United States over the last few years, with many telenovelas now offering English subtitles so non-Spanish speaking viewers may enjoy the shows.  Here are a few of the telenovelas that are airing in 2011:

While today’s economy continues to put extra stress on most Americans’ wallets, those preparing to welcome a new child into the family experience the added pressure of a whole new set of expenses, and it can trickle over onto those close to them too.  I’m talking about the ‘Baby Shower’.
