What a great way to include the whole family in dinner.

Update on Current Bzz Campagain Afrin Stick UP for Yourself (TM) Campaign

The whole reason I accepted this campaign was as a child growing up my father was faithful to this brand. He would always have a little round bottle of this stuff on is bedside table to keep his sinuses clear. Growing up I learned that my sinuses are shaped like his and I too am susceptible to congestion and sinus irritation due to season changes in the air. I use this every morning it seems to help. I of course gave my father a coupon when I saw him at Thanksgiving but my mother said due to her heart condition she could not use Afrin. Private Selection Holiday

We received Costa Rican Coffee and Water Crackers included in kit as full sized samples 3 Free Product Coupons for (1 Free PS Olives, 1 Free PS Pasta Sauce, 1 Free PS Cheese) Added bonus coupon for Agents 75cents off three for NEW Greek yogurt (5) 20% off any of the featured items to pass along to those you bzz! I haven't got my cheese, sauce or olives yet but I will when I visit Kroger on my next trip. I love Olives, I love Krogers delicious Private Selection Sauces and I love Cheese, so a nice perky block of cheese to eat with my water crackers would a wonderful treat to enjoy at any occasion. Whether you are packing a light delicious lunch or you are serving a family dinner of pasta and sauce with cheesy bread and coffee and Private selection chocolate dipped cappuccino cookies for desert! Perdue Oven Ready Products

Perdue Oven Ready Chicken and Turkey products are wonderfully delicious and easy to prepare. Whether you are enjoy a wonderful sit down dinner of turkey and dressing with your family or roast chicken and garlic bread with a salad, Perdue makes it wonderfully easy to get dinner on the table with minimum effort. As an added bonus. Kroger has a deal going on where if you buy a Perdue Chicken Breast you will get a free RedBox code so Dinner and Movie is done!

The Reason for the Season It occurred to me that a common phrase during the holiday season is "Jesus is the reason for the season" Yes of course the best part of the season is remembering the example set forth by Christ to be kind to one another. To remember the importance of ingratiating one another by showing how much you care about your friends and family. Still on another token, it could be said that on a deeper level the season of winter is also traditionally a time for reflection and be grateful for the blessings of home. On that thought perhaps this winter you could think of a way to be kind to your family or your loved ones and share your love and kindness all through the winter season. On a personal note I hope everyone enjoys tidings of comfort and joy, may this christmas, Channukah, Kwanzaa or Winter Holiday bring you great love and happiness.

Why you should watch Toddlers and Tiaras and Dance Moms

When I was a little girl I had a neighbor down the street from me who loved twirling her baton so much that every weekend her momma would take her to her "Shows" to perform in a showcase with lots of other girls. It seemed pretty normal back in the eighties if you had 2.5 kids as was the average then to have one in karate class and one in ballet. Some did just this and some went full press and put their baby girls in bows and red lip gloss and sparkly little shoes and thus became "Pageant girls" If you were a little girl you could either be a girly girl or a tomboy. Of course sometimes when i grown up sees a child they don't see a small independent mind separate but dependent on a constant source of information. They see a a living breathing doll that they can use to play out their dreams in a sort of puppet show with the added bonus of bonding time and functional life skills they are teaching to the children. The beauty of seeing all this hullabaloo on television is lots of color and drama and exciting goings on but zero guilt. It's not your child. You can emotionally bond with the success and beauty of the teacher or the dress maker or even the overworked pageant mom and again, zero guilt all pay off. The reasons you would like such a show would the same you go to a state fair to see the biggest cucumber or the best pie. It's pretty, it's unusual and really? Who needs a twelve pound tomato, but it's a sight to see isn't it? Just marvelous and clever a thing to behold! For the same reason I would watch a bossy mom tell a fabulous instructor she paid for the third time or whine when her girl doesn't get first position in the dance line. It's better than People magazine and a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream! Zero calories and you can even TIVO it and watch it when you should be doing something more productive like folding your socks or cleaning out your car.

All Orange, All Auburn! All Auburn Atlanta Club

Big night for the Haon family! Mommy went on a rather depressing interview- i.e. insert foot , into, mouth! But then we came home and changed into our matching orange shirts and helped Aubie celebrate his birthday at the Atlanta Auburn Club's meeting. Wow What a festive crowd! I felt like I knew everyone and no-one at the same time! Lil one had a great time and got lots of great hugs from Aubie! We even got to meet the War Eagle, Nova! Plus Nova brought a friend, a beautiful peregrin falcon that sat quietly on a post just behind her. I had to ask the avian man, excuse me is that a "fall-fal-con?" He answered yes and so I took a few pics. See my husbands facebook for a few pictorials.
