So last Friday amid an extremely busy day I made a stop at Sam’s Club to check out the International Delight Mocha Iced Coffee.  This past weekend if you were at your Sam’s Club you may have had demo overload!  So many things to try and taste in the store.  I love the Sam’s tag line of ‘sample.shop.save’ , because it’s true I’m more apt to buy something new if I get a chance to try it before I buy it.

Summer is here and kids are mapping out how to spend their long summer days.  Animal Poppers and the Rapid Fire Power Popper from Hog Wild are the perfect way to launch into summer fun!

I don’t know if you’ve seen any trailers or commercials for DreamWorks’ new picture being released on June 29th, “People Like Us’”, but it looks like it’s going to be a pretty good movie.

It’s a drama/comedy about a family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine (the “young” James Kirk from the new Star Trek) as Sam, a fast-talking sales guy whose latest deal collapses the same day he finds out his father has suddenly died.  As he deals with the estate, he finds out that he has an older sister that he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks), and he’s tasked with delivering an inheritance to her. 

Amber’s back with a mid-way review of the Kaplan Test Prep SAT Course.  Keep reading to see what she has to say about the way the lessons are structured.

While Kaplan’s SAT prep has a cool rewards program, you aren’t going to earn anything until you start learning.

So this year our usual scheduled DVR programming on ABC only included the show Once Upon A Time.  Which we love.  But a lot of their other shows slipped totally past our radar.

When I was in Kentucky, my friend Tammie who came along with me was watching a show on TV in the hotel room, and I asked her if it was something she regularly watched.  She said yes, and that she really enjoyed it when she got the chance to watch it.  Turns out that show was “Scandal” on ABC, so then I had to see what it was all about.  Of course by that time, I had missed the entire season…

I remember after the “honeymoon” bliss being over, feeling a moment of being completely overwhelmed that I was now ‘responsible’ for keeping our new home and family, fed, clean and organized.

I was just 20 when we got married and thought it would be a miracle if I could pull that off.

We didn’t get a chance to see Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax in the theaters, so I’m excited that the release for the Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack  (and Blu-ray Combo Pack, both sets feature a regular DVD as well) will be coming later this summer so we can view it on our 3D TV at home!  The release date is August 7, 2012.

The Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack will also include three brand new mini-movies including:

It’s always interesting to see that in times of crisis we notice those around us that aid, assist and protect.  But those same people work every day to do those tasks, behind the scenes, quietly and unassuming.  Those heroes have names, have families and are often serving in the military.  They do both ordinary and extraordinary jobs, but the impact to our lives whether we know it or not…is immeasurable.
