When we moved from Canada to South Dakota my mom gifted us with a painting set of iconic places of the city that our family lived in.  It was a great art piece that we proudly hung in our home to remember our roots.  We knew that we wouldn’t stay in South Dakota forever either so I had a print made of the falls in our city there to hang next to the first painting.

Hello readers! Today I am very pleased to be able to offer you a giveaway for the movie Earth to Echo, which is releasing in theaters July 2.

I remember reading books when I was young about a marmalade loving bear named Paddington.  I LOVED those books.  We went to the theaters a couple of weeks ago to see How To Train Your Dragon 2, and an absolutely fun and delightful trailer was shown for … PADDINGTON.  Before the title, or the bear’s name was even mentioned, I knew ‘who’ it was and was giddy.  My husband didn’t quite get my joy at seeing this character come to life in a movie 😉

The movie stars a stellar cast with Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman.

Summer is officially here, and I’m already sipping one of my favorite warm-weather treats—Seattle’s Best Coffee Frozen Coffee Blends.

Through the Mom’s Meet program (May Media Group LLC) I was asked to review the Ology Detergent from Walgreens.  They sent me a number of sample sized packages to try out on my laundry and asked me to share my thoughts about it.  My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of the product, but you may be interested in reading what I think about it 🙂

Calling all adventure seekers! EARTH TO ECHO opens in theaters on July 2nd —

I like the standard flavors of many snack and treat foods.  But it’s always fun to try limited-edition flavors.  They can be hit or miss, sometimes I’m sorry I’ve purchased them and other times I’m sad when I can’t find the flavor any more!  Here’s a list with a few of the items I’ve tried or seen in the stores this season that are limited-edition.

Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars are back!  Introduced in 2012 to tremendous excitement and fanfare, the limited-edition Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars won the 2012 Best New Product award by Better Homes & Gardens and have sold in record numbers every time they hit store shelves in early summer.

We’re the kind of people who drive our vehicles until they die…literally.  Currently we own a 1998 Honda CR-V and a 2002 VW Jetta.  We’ve put a lot of miles (or kilometers in the case of the CR-V since we bought that when we still lived in Canada) on those cars, and we’ve replaced the tires a number of times on them as well.  When Goodyear asked if we’d be willing to review their Eagle Sport All-Season Tires, we thought they would be good for our Jetta since it won’t be long before we’d have to replace the tires on that car anyway.
