Who is excited about the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 premiere tomorrow, September 27th?  I know I am for two reasons; One, because the trailers for it look so fun and Two, because Fandango has partnered with iTunes to offer free downloads of the first movie when fans buy tickets to the sequel!  Say What?!  I know right, that’s a pretty amazing gift, it’s a $7.99 value!  (So all you people who say you can’t go see this movie because you haven’t seen the first one, well now you have no excuse!  You can catch up with inventor Flint Lockwood and all his food escapades.)

Family, Food & Football – that’s what it’s all about in fall, am I right?! 

While some people like the wings and the nachos, our family we head right to the sweet treats.  And the more chocolate the better.  I’m so glad that I’m part of the eMeals blogger network (and because of that, I get some free menu plans to help me feed my family – and if you click any of the links to sign up … I’ll earn a bit of cash, so thanks) even before I became a part of it, it was my go to place to find the best recipes that are

Coolest App EVER!  Yes I have JARVIS on my iPhone and there is nothing quite like being notified by him when I have an incoming call, message or voice mail.  Plus he even wakes me up in the morning with the weather forecast!  The only thing better is if he could make me a cup of coffee 🙂

One of my favorite things to eat is popcorn.  I love it.  Buttered, savory, sweet.  Any of those ways is a good way to eat popcorn.  I have made a couple of recipes of sweet popcorn mixes before on my blog, but I’ve never done popcorn balls before.

It’s our job as parents, to make sure nothing happens to our children.  But there comes a time when we have to cut the proverbial apron strings and let them go out on their own.  I actually wonder these days how my mom ever did that back when our way of checking in (if any) was by having a quarter and finding the nearest pay phone.  Times sure have changed and I can say that I’m glad for the technology of smart phones. 

Are your little monsters still a little apprehensive about the school year? Professor Knight is here to help with his Top Tips for Surviving School, in anticipation of the release of Monsters University on Digital HD on October 8th and on Blu-ray Combo Pack on October 29th!

I still have 11 months before I send my ‘baby’ off to college, but I’m already getting teary eyed about the whole event and am sitting going through old photos just remember all the wonderful moments we’ve spent together as a family.
