If you thought Hot Pockets were ‘so last decade,’ think again.

Yes, they’ve been around for 30 years.  Many of you ate them for after school snacks, or before softball games.. in the eighties… (I promise I won’t squeal about your age if you don’t about mine….)  and so you think that these ‘frozen’ sandwiches are for tweens/teens and maybe if you stretch it, twenty-somethings, but I have something to tell you – don’t pass by the Hot Pockets in the frozen food aisle – just like you, they’ve grown up.

So how many of you have road trips planned for this summer?  Or maybe you’ve already done one and are home already.  As most of you know, my family just completed an 816 mile trip, in not just one vehicle but two, to get to our new home here in Texas (and we did that trip twice in May also).

Yippee…summer is here!  The kids are out of school and looking for adventure.  When the family is out and about, think about taking along some healthy snacks so you don’t load up on empty calories.  Tetra Pak, known for its shelf safe, lightweight packaging has compiled some ideas for family road trips, picnics, healthy snacks and family friendly games.  It’s all part of the Milk Unleashed educational campaign to let people know that shelf safe milk is a great solution when you’re on the go.

How does Zaycon Foods manage to provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices?  The answer is strength in numbers.  And not their numbers, yours!

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because their unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase.

Using apparel and accessories from Wallis, I created a Pinterest board of what I would pack for a desert getaway at Miraval Resort.

Here are the things I chose:

NICKY DEUCE
The new original movie from MarVista Entertainment, as seen on Nickelodeon!

About the Movie
Nicholas Borelli II (Noah Munck), a sheltered suburban teen, has the adventure of a lifetime when his plans for math camp take a sudden turn.  Instead, he is forced to spend his summer in Brooklyn, New York, with the family he never knew he had – his Italian grandmother Tutti (Rita Moreno) and Uncle Frankie (Steven R. Schirripa). 

TURBO – July 17 in 3D
From the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, TURBO is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an underdog snail who kicks into overdrive when he miraculously attains the power of super-speed.  But after making fast friends with a crew of streetwise, tricked-out es-car-goes, Turbo learns that no one succeeds on their own.  So he puts his heart and shell on the line to help his pals achieve their dreams, before Turbo-charging his own impossible dream: winning the Indy 500.

So, I get this e-mail newsletter from a research company called TRU, that polls young people on all different kinds of topics.  In these newsletters they also have a ‘Trend Tracker,’ where they list a few things that are up and coming to those young folk.

This last newsletter had something called “Clipless” featured in it. Users simply place a small disc inside their garment and place the Clipless unit on the outside.

Fire up the grill, dust off your hammock and prep your pool because summer is here!

It’s the perfect time to relax, chill with friends, and enjoy the sunshine.  There’s no better way to unwind than with the peace of mind that no matter come rain or shine… your home and appliances are covered, just in case!

The new DreamWorks Animation film TURBO comes racing into theaters July 17!  Check out this fun trailer of the movie:
