Back in summer I shared about Fotor with you.  Fotor is a fun photo editor that is available on computers, tablets and phones.

Fotor recently introduced a new feature that allows you to make a photo slideshow with your pictures. 

The online version is simple and easy to use and the slideshow creator makes you look like you’re a multimedia master.

Back in August I let you all know about the  about the 5-hour ENERGY® “Yummification” video contest. Now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! The winners of the contest have been officially announced and I want to let all you 5-hour ENERGY® fans know which tasty combination came out on top.

My mom is one of those people who has a natural talent for arranging flowers.  It kind of runs in the family as her aunt and uncle owned a green house way back in the old country and then her cousins now are still in the flower business.  It did however skip a generation, at least with me anyway.  I have a hard time keeping flowers alive much less arranging them for a centerpiece or bouquet.

I’m helping Baymont Inn & Suites to get the word out about its Home Team Hospitality Facebook contest. The hotel brand is giving away $5,000 and 500,000 Wyndham Rewards points to put toward supplies, equipment, or travel, to one lucky amateur athletic team. Whether you organize an after-work bowling league, have family playing for the local pee-wee football team, or just coach volleyball for fun, Baymont Inn & Suites want you to win one for the home team!

I don’t have all the time in the world and Little Caesars knows this.

I can walk in get a pizza (or two, even ones made to order) in no time flat and I only have to hand them a $20 bill…and then they give me change back yet!

It is, in all honesty, the pizza my family prefers when given a choice on what kind to get when we do take out.

Not many couples in this day and age can say that they’ve hit the 50 year mark in marriage.  To have parents that model such commitment to each other has been a great resource in my own marriage.

A number of weeks ago I was sent a bottle of Sweetleaf Liquid Stevia Sweet Drop in their Cola flavor.  I drink more cola than I probably should and know I should replace those drinks with water, but I don’t like drinking water y’all.  I need bubbles!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had a problem with people wanting to know what’s in my lunch.  From grade school to work places, I’ve had my Holly Hobby lunchbox to my brown paper sack pawed and gone through seeing if there was something in there worth offering a trade for or to mooch.

I think I’ve solved one of the problems.  That one being the lunch bag itself.  I figured if I disguised it in such a way to repel people rather to invite them, perhaps they would leave my lunch alone.

A number of weeks ago a fellow local DFW blogger, Carrie, asked if I’d like to review one of her Meal Planners.  I was eager to do so because my meal planning skills of late have been dismal.  I even subscribe to an online meal planning service and haven’t opened any of the e-mails in months!  It is the curse of being busy and trying to fit every minute of time into a summer that goes by too, too quickly.  But when we dropped Amber off at college, I knew that I needed to start meal planning again or we were destined to eat frozen dinners and canned beans for the next four years.
