Because it’s Disney and a Princess. 

My kids grew up when Ariel, Belle, Pocahontas, Mulan were first introduced to the “Silver Screen”.  So we had to take them 50 times to see it in the theaters.   Now the movies just bring back great memories, because for me it brings back the days when my kids were …wel…kids.  Seeing their faces when they first saw the movies and listening to the soundtracks over and over until they I knew all the words

It was all about them had nothing to do with me of course….

My favorite movie?  Beauty and the Beast.

My favorite scene?  The Gaston Song

Now it’s time for a new Princess to take the stage and take over our plasma tv’s.  

The Princess and the Frog!  YAY!!

It’s out on DVD on March 16 and I have a copy for you. 

Yes! I’m giving it away! One copy on DVD. And what I want to hear from you is your favorite Disney Princess scene in any of the Disney Princess movies….or even better, your child’s favorite Disney Princess scene…after all it’s all about the children.

They wear me out.

Bumble Bee impresses me the more I learn about them.  First for their commitment to healthy living and ending obesity with their alliance with  the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF) ….  and also for their efforts toward sustainability.

You know, good things that companies can do and should do and this one does already….

Just an all around good company.

I eat tuna several times a week, always have…and love that it’s an easy meal/snack to fix.

You also know that I’m a “fewer ingredients the better” (lazy) girl, and so I want to share my quick dinner / lunch/ midnight snack/ breakfast if you have to…recipe…my fave, and you will love it too.

This time I’m using the Bumble Bee in the pouch. These are handy to take on the run…AND MAYBE I CAN HAVE SOME IN MY ROOM AT BLOGHER FOR A SNACK #justsayin

It’s so easy to toss on a bed of greens (your choice).  Then I like to add about 1/4 – 1/3 can of white beans and top with ranch dressing mixed with some red wine vinegar.

I like to cut the dressings with a little extra vinegar because it reduces the calories and I LIKE VINEGAR *fishy lip face*.

Ok, so I’m learning to take fancy photos of food.  By Blogher hopefully they will look good!

*she brings fun just like Jenny brings glitter*

However it was a ….Backwards Party.  This confused Barbie a little because she barely has this frontwards thing down.

…she’s blond remember…

So she got on her fancy outfit..BACKWARDS…

Oh dear not the best look !

She put her nametag on with Barbie spelled backwards.  Not easy to do when your fingers don’t move huh?

Walking backwards proved to be tricky.  She was always running into something.

Then she remembered…..

Her head…

…can turn

…all the way around!

Barbie was the hit of the party from that point on.  She was voted Most Creative Use of Backwards at the event!!

And of course most beautiful …but that goes without saying…

It totally rocked.

And she is giving it to me. (SQUEEE heard the world round)

Even though the shoes are hard to fill, I feel so special…almost like I’m receiving a diploma from the School of Mrs. Fussypants…

Or carrying the Mrs. Fussypants  Torch….

Or getting the keys to her car…which would be sweet unless her boys come with it (I have enough kids thank you)

Um, Alli, can we talk about a little wax on those arms? heh…

She said I could have it, didn’t charge me a thing..she’s cool like that. She also told me not to mess with that poll thingy and just pick the winner from the comments.

So here is what you do.  Leave me a comment with the caption that best captures the essence of the photo.  That’s fancy writing for ” make me laugh “.  I’ll have my kids help with the contest, and even though they are old enough to see R rated movies, this is a clean blog  just sayin’…

Oh and keep it to 2 sentences or so…my kids have short attention spans….

Here we go, and I hope you likey…

I know! Me too..

Ok, let’s see what you come up with!!

And I have no idea what you win…bragging rights for now….I’ll figure something out!

Thinking OF ME…how cool is that?

Nature’s Own has created a line of  reduced-calorie bakery products: Thin Sliced Bagels and 100-calorie Sandwich Rounds.  Perfect for a quick snack, the person who is watching the calories, and kids who leave half their bagel uneaten…

Bagels that are smaller and only 150 calories as compared to typical 300 calorie bagels.  They are available in eight count packages of Original and 100% Whole Wheat varieties.  So if you are like me and eat 2 bagels at once, you only have to feel half as guilty.

Sandwich rounds with a soft crust on the outside create a fuller feeling.  They come in two varieties—100% Whole Wheat and Healthy Multi-Grain.  Plus they are cute…does cute count in bread?  I say yes…

Yes, I was sent some Nature’s Own to try and yes I liked them all…why do you think the bags are half full…?

Did you know it works upside down?

Goes from this….

To this….

To this….

I know!  You’d be happy too!  No more cleaning while standing on your head!!

The turkey dinner reminds me of being a child watching The Wonderful World of Disney on Sundays on a TV tray. 

We have always been a family of convenience.

When you check out Banquet’s dinners be sure to check out the Thanks a Million instant win game…on specially marked boxes of Banquet.  You can win $100,000 or other cash prizes!  How cool is that!

As a way of saying “Thanks a Million” to their loyal customers over all these years, Banquet is giving away more than $1 million worth of redeemable cash prizes this February through April. Beginning February 8, look for Banquet frozen dinner meals with the “Thanks a Million” logo on the box. Each of these specially-marked packages will contain a special game piece, either one of over 16,000 redeemable cash prizes worth anywhere from $10 to $100,000, or a Banquet coupon. What’s better than that? A quick dinner on the table in minutes and a chance to find the equivalent of the “Willy Wonka” golden ticket!

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

I created this set of fun social media icons with Photoshop, and they are available for your use on your blog or sites. Free of charge. Hope you enjoy. I have more styles coming!

Just save the image to your server and upload to your blog or site. And please remember these are free just because and not available for commercial use.

Um…

I had to read further.  It’s not that I’m ungrateful…but I’ve had 48 year’s worth of gas and now my dogs are so gassy we gave them their own room…ventilation not connected to the rest of the house.

It’s the only way we can survive.

I just got rid of the gassy ex-husband and I’m not looking to “fuel” the teens. 

So….Rite Aid, it’s really nice of you to offer, and I know you have a whole aisle devoted to handling gas issues…Beano, GasX…and this could be a real win for you…hope you sell bunches. 

Imagine…the guy in the cubicle next to the winner.   He’s a goner if he doesn’t keep something handy…thinking those bird flu masks might help?   The spouse…the kids… for sure they will stock up on those products just to be prepared for …Gasaggedon.

I hope you will re-think this for next year, and moving forward give away something that would beautify the world.
