In just 20 days my daughter will turn 17.  That’s given me 17 years to hear it all.  Starting nearly from the day she was born.

I can’t believe you’re not even going to try breastfeeding.

You’re giving her Pop-Tarts for breakfast?  That’s nasty.

She plays too many video games and doesn’t play outside enough.

I’m so excited for April 16th, 2013 to come.  One reason is because it is my 19th Anniversary!  The other reason is because The Good Cook Treasure Hunt starts that day!

Just so you can keep track here’s a count down clock that marks right down to the second how long before the Good Cook Touch Treasure Hunt begins. 

Did you know that based on a national taste test¹ of Gevalia House Blend and Starbucks House Blend conducted by an independent third party, that 59.7% of coffee drinkers preferred the taste of Gevalia House Blend over Starbucks House Blend?

Have you tried and compared?

I was given the opportunity to try the Gevalia House Blend for morning coffee at Blissdom.

It’s a bit silly.  But I don’t care.  One of the best things about Blissdom, was getting my picture taken with a Minion.

With Earth Month starting today, it’s important to think about simple changes we can make in our lives to be a little more eco-friendly.  I’m sharing today on behalf of WaterSavers®, a consumer awareness campaign from the International Carwash Association® (ICA), to offer you great tips to conserve water.  WaterSavers is committed to promoting the importance of using eco-friendly car washes that use less fresh water and return clean water back into the environment.

Janet’s Planet “Exploring Microgravity” is a winner of a Regional Emm Award, a Gracie Allen Award and a STEMFlorida Award.   It’s a 37-minute exploration of gravity and microgravity.

By focusing on science, technology, engineering, art and math, Janet’s Planet travels at the “speed of thought” and is designed to fuel S.T.E.A.M.  Gravity’s phenomena and effects are explained and the audience gets to meet Galileo, Newton, and Cavendish and find out how they built on the scientists before them and formed a shared picture of how the universe works!

So my cousin made these sundaes and posted them on Facebook. She proclaimed them as perhaps the best dessert she has ever made! Oh my word!!! I asked her how she made them and if I could rip off her photo.

In my efforts to clean out my pantry and freezers before we move, I’m getting very creative with the contents inside them!

I’m not a fan of drinking milk straight up or having it with my cereal either, but add it to a smoothie and I’ll toss it back.  Armed with a box of Strawberry Delight Mini Wheats and some frozen strawberries I decided to try making a smoothie and see how it turned out.

By now you all MUST know that we are moving, LOL! And even though we haven’t sold our home yet, we have an official date of when we have to be down in Texas for my husband’s job. We still have a number of months to get ready for that while we wait for our home to sell, and so we aren’t completely overwhelmed once we do have an offer, we’ve already started packing.

So it was literally a windfall for us when SmoothMove Supplies sent us some boxes to help us pack up our stuff.  What you’ve got to love about these boxes is that they are an all-in-one solution.
