Earlier this month as part of the Master Lock Live Secure Safety Squad, I shared with you some bike safety tips.  I’m keeping on that theme, with a review of one of their products that will help to keep your bike secure: 8170D Steel U-Lock.

Did you know that 47.6% of people have either had their bike stolen or know someone that has had their bike stolen?  Or that 32.5% of people do not lock up their bike at all when they’re on the go?

I love candles.  I love the way they look when they’re lit, the patterns they cast in the room when the night comes rolling in.  Even more so I love scented ones that fill the room with smells of baked goodness, fresh crispness or floral beauty.  But for all the enjoyment I get out of candles, there’s a risk to burning them, especially if you have small children or pets in your home.

Well I said yesterday, that the upcoming spring/summer season was going to be movie theater going time with all the entertaining movies coming out…I guess so will fall and winter LOL!  This year has some big line ups.  Another one by Disney coming in November is Thor: The Dark World.

Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself.

I have a feeling you’re going to see a lot of upcoming movie posts on my blog in the next few months!  I’m so excited about seeing a lot of these movies.  We’re not big outdoorsy people, so movies are one of our primary sources of entertainment.

From the creators of Ice Age this summer in theaters on May 24th is

Pretzels and crackers are two snacks that you’ll find in our home at all times.  My whole family enjoys noshing away on crunchy salty snacks.  And then we were introduced to Pretzel Crisps®.  Not quite a pretzel, not quite a cracker – it’s unique!  A pretzely cracker – a crackery pretzel… whatever you call it, well it’s worth celebrating National Pretzel Day with (which happens to be today by the way).

Or wait — if it’s not quite a pretzel… maybe it should have it’s own day? 

Looks like this spring/summer season is bringing a lot of blockbuster movies to the big screen, and holiday weekends always bring out the big guns.  Case in point – The Lone Ranger on July 3rd.

It was bewildering at best, the day I became a mother.  And I remember the first couple of days after we came home from the hospital I had more questions than I could possibly vocalize.  Now I look back 17 years memory by memory and I can hardly believe that my baby is ‘almost‘ grown up.

The weather this year is not what I had planned!  Last year right about this time on the calendar it was warm (like it’s supposed to be!).  This year…the day I’m writing this post…we still have snow on the ground!  I wasn’t overly impressed with the weather that greeted me in Dallas at Blissdom – but even that was better then this April in South Dakota.

The wintery mix we’ve encountered lately made me feel the need to get a rockin’ pair of shoes to help me feel summer is actually coming.

Disney/Pixar’s MONSTERS UNIVERSITY has officially revealed the full voice cast for the film which opens everywhere this summer, June 21st! 

The top talent includes:

Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina (love that guy!), Dave Foley (why do I think I’ll imagine an ant every time he speaks?!), Sean P. Hayes, Joel Murray, Peter Sohn, Charlie Day, Nathan Fillion (oh! Mal…insert sigh here!), Bobby Mynihan, Julia Sweeney, Aubrey Plaza, Tyler Labine, John Krasinski, Bonnie Hunt, Beth Behrs and John Razenberger (of course!),

A couple of days ago I was sharing with you about eMeals new Slow Cooker meal plans, well today I want to share something else that they have just recently launch and that’s an iPhone App.

I use my iPhone for nearly everything – including my grocery shopping list, so to be able to combine everything in one place; my meal plan, my shopping list and the recipes all in one place, on the item I always have with me  — GENIUS.
