It usually takes our family a couple of weeks to see a movie in the theater, if we go see it in the theater at all. Generally we wait the three or four months until it the movie is released on DVD, since it’s more economical for the three of us to see it that way, plus with the 3D TV at home we’re not missing much at all at the movie theater. That being said, we figured The Avengers must be worth doling the cash out since the rest of the world is speaking with their wallets, so earlier this past week we gave up daughter’s college savings, grudgingly parted with our money at the movie theater.

Cinnamon Roll Sticks

I like to change up what one normally does with ‘instant’ foods. Making things from scratch has never been my strong suit, but coming up with new ways to use pre-made products, that’s something I really enjoy doing. Rather than just eat cinnamon buns made from the tube dough – how about some scrumptious Cinnamon Sticks?!

Summer vacation is right around the corner and Colortime products would make an awesome addition to the rainy days that you might encounter where staying inside starts getting you the, “Mom, I’m bored” whines. I’m sure any kid would love to color their own t-shirt, pillowcase or bag!

Brain Teasing Books ~ Give Away

Tammy — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:44:17 +0000

As summer vacation is here for some and is coming up quickly for others, we all know that the first couple of weeks are great for relaxing and unwinding, but as parents we hate to see the learning become stagnant until September rolls around again. That’s one of the reasons we decided to homeschool year round. Together parents and their high school children can avoid the “academic summer slide” by keeping their kids’ brains active by picking up some books on rainy days or during travel, that provide brain-challenging fun!

Interview with a Top Health Expert for Women

Tammy — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:01:07 +0000

As busy moms, we take on many roles. Perhaps the most important role is making sure our family is as healthy as they can be. Citrus fruits are a common part of most people’s diets. However, there’s lots of confusing data out there regarding whether or not you should eat certain foods, such as grapefruits, while taking certain drugs. Doctors are perhaps the most valuable source of information available when it comes to a topic like this. Today I have, on behalf of Sunkist an interview with Dr. Donnica Moore.

Tammy — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:00:17 +0000

YoCrunch wants to be your choice of a meal component or snack for any time of day, which is evident by all the flavors and types they offer the consumer. My husband eats a cup of plain vanilla yogurt nearly every day. Having all these toppings to add to his yogurt was nearly overwhelming for him!
