When we were on our cruise back in April, we had our state room t.v. set to the in room movie channel.  That way while we were getting ready for dinner, the two of us that couldn’t use the closet sized bathroom, had something to do while waiting . 

One of the movies that was on the channel was The Spy Next Door, but we only managed to catch the tail end of it, and never got a chance to see the whole movie while on board.  I received the chance to get it on Blu-ray DVD, and am so glad to have been able to add this funny, family film to our collection.

You’ve packed snacks, shoved your luggage, roller blades and tennis rackets in the trunk, jerry rigged the bike rack to the car, gassed up and are finally ready to hit the open road.

I have tried many great smelling bath products, but Caress’ Whipped Souffle Body Wash line doesn’t just smell like a dessert, it looks like one too!

The last time I tried Caress it was for the Evenly Gorgeous products. I really loved that body wash, but I have to admit I like the Whipped Souffle body wash even more.

On opening morning however, amid the fan fare of the train line’s first arrival, JoLynne Penn-Williams the even coordinator, is nowhere to be found.  Until the giant inflatable coffee cup tumbles from the overhead framework revealing inside a lifeless Jo.  (Hence the title of the book ‘A Cup of Jo‘).

A&E’s dramatic series THE GLADES™ follows Jim Longworth, an attractive, brilliant, yet hard to get along with homicide detective from Chicago who gets shot by his captain.

Only this town outside the Florida Everglades isn’t quite as idyllic as he thought, as he finds people keep turning up murdered. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge.
