Can you believe we’re almost at the end of July?! Wow the summer is just flying by. But it’s not over yet we still have a week left to celebrate National Ice Cream Month. Politics aside, one has to admit that 28 years ago, President Ronald Reagan did the country a service when he designated July as National Ice Cream Month.

And what better way to celebrate than with a pint of Starbucks ice cream? No matter what the occasion – this is the perfect addition to it.

There’s nothing more welcoming than to walk into a home and have it smell like fresh baking. It doesn’t just #TemptYourSenses but it also is comforting. It’s a well known tip to bake often when your home is on the market, as the scent seems to make potential buyers more easily feel like the home could be theirs.

It’s a good thing then that I received a couple of Renuzit Tempting Indulgences in the mail to use at home, because we are currently trying to sell it! With scents like Crème Brulee and Chocolate Covered Cherries lingering in my home,

“A Little Princess” was a classic tale that I enjoyed reading growing up. I loved the movie version starring Shirley Temple . Now here’s a new twist on the popular story, in a “Veggie” version. “The Penniless Princess” teaches an important lesson about knowing your own true worth.

Here’s the synopsis for the show:

LifeBytes are USB flash drives made by Dane-Elec. I was given the opportunity to freely review the Peace USB Drive. This was perfect for me because my daughter, Amber, is a high school junior this year and does almost all of her school work ‘electronically’.

What I love most about the LifeBytes USB flash drives is … they are small in size but large on storage (they hold up to 8GB of data).

They even have handy ‘holes’ built in, so that you can add a lanyard to hang the drive around your neck to take along that way.

A new cereal from General Mills is on your store shelves. Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds.

My husband is not the easiest person to grocery shop for. He has a ‘picky’ palate when it comes to food. His go to cereal is Honey Nut Cheerios, but I’m always encouraging him to try something different.

There’s no better time than now to visit the Sonoma Valley, for a long weekend or a week. If you’re planning a very special anniversary, this would be a great place to go, especially if you’re looking for a good bottle of wine to go along with a lovely dinner.

No matter how you get around, you’ll be enchanted by Sonoma Valley’s gorgeous landscapes, vineyards and dramatic vistas.

One of the best ways to see the valley is to rent a bike and take in the scenery. Take note that you can keep joints pain-free with a glass of wine! A Dutch study, by Diane van der Woude, M.D., showed that women who

Well I haven’t had a chance to blog as much about TNT’s Dallas as I’d like to have the past number of weeks, but as I watched Wednesday’s episode on the DVR last night, I knew I had to talk about it.

So far my favorite ‘plot line’ in the series is the one between Christopher and Rebecca. I had an overwhelming sense that she was an imposter right from the start, but I was not prepared that she would be exposed so early in the series. It won’t be much of a surprise when her brother Tommy comes back to mess things up between what looks like the reconciliation between her and Christopher.

These days you have to be a savvy shopper to track down the best bargains. Big credit card companies have got point programs that give…

A number of years ago when we went to Nebraska for a few days we came across the oddest thing on the interstate when we were returning to our hotel after a day of fun. The traffic was backed up and at a stand still, and when we finally started moving we found out the reason why. The tail gate door of a huge trailer transporting cattle had opened, and the cows were wandering around on the road!
