Kung Fu Panda is back! General Mills is teaming up with DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda 2 to bring the action-packed adventures right to your breakfast table. Our Review:  Our kids loved the first Kung Fu Panda. It's one of the most requested on our list for movie nights. It's such a fun movie that we adults love it too.  We were given Lucky Charms cereal to review and a Crane action hero, along with the first Kung Fu Panda movie. Lucky Charms is also one of the kids favorite cereals.  So we definitely loved this review.  They had some Lucky Charms for breakfast and then when it was movie time, they snacked on Lucky Charms without milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our cereal and movie night.  The GIVEAWAY!  One lucky blog reader will receive a Kung Fu Panda 2 prize pack similar to mine which includes: One box of a participating Big G cereal, a Kung Fu Panda 2 spin fighter toy and the original Kung Fu Panda movie.  **This giveaway will end on...

I love making desserts and casseroles, but unfortunately some of my favorite desserts and casseroles leave a mess in my baking pans.  I don't have a dishwasher, so for this challenge I had to go to my mom's house to try these out.  When I did use a dishwasher in the past, I would usually buy the cheapest powders available.  They seemed to work well, but often left a residue.  I switched to a liquid and it seemed a little better. I disliked how messy powders and liquids could be at times when you are in a rush with chores.  I definitely miss having a dishwasher.  Especially with a large family and plenty of meals prepared at home.  The dish washing can be overwhelming at times.   With new Cascade Complete – you won’t mind taking turns at the sink. And if the thought of dirty dishes in the sink has ever made you think twice about making a favorite meal, Cascade Complete is here to help. The excess scrubbing of cookware and dirty t...

I have been looking for some great ways to fill up the food storage here. It's very expensive and time consuming to do this for a large family.  But when disaster strikes it's well worth all the money and prep work.  I'll admit, I have definitely been slacking on getting things done for our family.  With the recent tragic natural disasters, I have a definitely refueled the desire and urgency that I have had before, to be prepared with enough food storage. I love finding any affordable ways to get this done.  I found an article that features information about how to receive a discount from eFoods to help you get your food storage jump started.  I hope you and your family will be prepared too.

A few months ago, while I was dining out with my friends I saw a female customer with her purse hanging from the table. I was intrigued about how she had it hooked onto her table.  But I didn't ask her where she purchased the hook from.  Flash forward to today, I was introduced to Fumi products and I checked out their website to find out more information about their products. I realized that the same customer I had seen using a hook at that restaurant, had a  PurseHook. I definitely love the  ingenuity of the products they offer and the great designs that are incorporated into each item. The Keep Safe is definitely a must have for homemakers. I just love this is such a great find.  How many times have you went to wash dishes, do some baking and you put your ring down only to end up losing it somewhere or even  down the drain.  Yes, I must confess. I have done this in the past.  Luckily I found my ring...my husband saw it on the floor ...
