My parents turned me on to olive oil years ago when my dad started using it to lower his cholesterol.  But even though I knew it was healthier for us to use rather than butter in the frying pan, sometimes the flavor of it combined with what I was making just seemed off.

Thanksgiving dinner is about the only time I can get away with serving squash at the dinner table – I love it, but the rest of my family not so much.

Don’t miss out on the perfect kid’s dvd for the holidays!

“From the moment this DVD begins, it’s a delight…”  So begins the Gold Award-winning review from Parents Choice for LOST AND FOUND, a beautifully animated film based on Oliver Jeffers best-selling book.  This holiday season, this internationally acclaimed film is great for a child’s holiday list, as it’s certain to become a timeless, perennially-watched program enjoyed by the entire family!

Fur will fly this holiday season as Katsuma is Unleashed on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS in a roarsome new adventure.

My nephew who will be 7 soon, just got a Nintendo 3DS and I knew he would be excited over this game based on the most popular Moshi Monster of all, Katsuma.  In this side-scrolling video game adventure, players will jump, spin, dash and bash their way through six brand new monster-ific worlds packed with battles, baddies and a host of hidden secrets!

It has been 25 years since America’s favorite unstoppable icon,  Energizer Bunny, drummed his way in to consumers’ hearts and homes. (Oh Bunny you are young, I was 15 when your cute pink fluffiness made your way across the TV screen.)  Everyday people and pop culture enthusiasts alike have been enraptured with his tenacious spirit and boundless energy. People often compare themselves to the Energizer Bunny because of his never quit attitude (not me though, I get tuckered out long before the Bunny or his products do).

Okay you all know I LOVE my coffee, and how I don’t feel the need to go and buy expensive cups of it at a specialty coffee house.  I like to save the pennies we earn and brew or buy coffee to drink at home, and iced coffee is no exception to that.

My taste buds are so full of love for the new Green Mountain Coffee Espresso Iced Latte that you can get nationally at Wal-Mart in the refrigerated section in a 48 oz. bottle.  And if you want to try it out too, grab a $1.00 off coupon at coupons.com so you can taste it for yourself. 

Available now in stores nationwide, is Rise of the Guardians Holiday Edition DVD.  This was DreamWorks Pictures holiday blockbuster last year, and it’s being packaged with a delightful marching elf wind-up toy (inspired by the adorable elves seen in the film). But this special packaging is only available while supplies last and quantities are limited!

One of the hottest toys this holiday season comes from Zing – girls can test out their target practice in anitcipation of the new Hunger Games movie coming out later this month with the sparkly pink and purple Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow.  The Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow by Zing is rated for ages 8+.

The Air Huntress offers a safe, realistic introduction to the sport of archery that can be used indoors or outside.

I burst with excitement over Christmas.  I love the sights, the scents, the sounds.  I love just everything about it, I get giddy with happiness!  I love giving gifts to my family, and in all honesty…I love getting gifts too 🙂

I spent part of the afternoon yesterday wrapping up some gifts for our daughter and my nephews, and as I was busy cutting and taping, my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas.  That prompted me to sit down and make a wish list.

It’s been nearly 4 months since we’ve moved and I cannot believe the amount of papers and documents we already have cluttering up our office space. You know all those HIPPA forms from all the new doctors and dentists, the supplemental forms we needed for our mortgage, and of course I’m always getting papers and contracts for my blog.  We have a pretty good file organization system but I’ll tell you a little secret …we’re kind of paperwork pack rats.  Meaning we keep papers way longer than we need to.
