Fleischmann's Simply Homemade MommyParties Review!

I love homemade bread, but lets be honest here who has the time to make it? Well I do make biscuits, but that's about as good as it gets. I don't have time for the yeast to rise and the whole process. Fleischmann's have come up with the best thing for us working parents that still want fresh bread.



Fleischmann's Simploy Homemade No Knead Bread Mix is so easy to make. All you do is stir it together, let it rise, then bake it! How simple, just like the title says Simply Homemade!



The breads come in four delicious flavors:
Country White
Stoneground Wheat
Multi-Grain
Italian Herb

This bread was so easy to make and my guest loved the bread. I was glad to be able to share this bread with them and the coupons and oven mitts. Thanks to MommyParties for providing the bread kits and oven mitts!

In episode 9, Anna tries to bliss a human. She is elated that she can control humans the same way she does Visitors. Now she simply has to bliss the humans into listening to her in order to gain total control of Earth.


If aliens were to come to Earth, do you imagine they would be peaceful or manipulative and treacherous like Anna, what would you do? Would you trust them until given a reason not to or would you distrust them until proven otherwise?

Holiday Cards from Shutterfly! + Giveaway!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Honestly it is, everywhere you go there is something that reminds you of Christmas in the stores. Just this past Tuesday I ran into my local Wal-Mart, and what did I see? Christmas candy was out on the shelves. Let me remind you this is just one day after Halloween!

Then in Lowes Hardware, all the trees are up, the blow up Santa’s and snow men and even all the ointments. Each year the Christmas decorations and candy get put out in stores earlier and earlier. Come next year soon as the 4th of July is over they will be putting out the stuff. Well, honestly I can say I do not partake in anything really early; I don’t put up my tree until the day after Thanksgiving. Time seems to pass so fast, starting with the week just before Thanksgiving. Then it’s just hassle and bustle from that point on.

I can say there is one thing that I do early when it comes to Christmas, I have to get my cards ordered and ready to go out the door at least a week after Thanksgiving. This year I am so excited to order them online and have them mailed directly to my door.

Shutterfly offers so many choices when it comes to sending out those Christmas cards.

There are so many choices that it will be a hard choice for me. I know personally I am torn between a few different cards and not sure which one to choose.



I do love the idea of the photo books you can create online; they would be a great gift idea for the grandparents.

Take a look at what Shutterfly has to offer when it comes to gifts this Christmas, they have many to choose from that I know you will love.

Three lucky readers will win 25 free cards each! All you need to do is leave a comment telling me you would like to be entered.

V Season Two on DVD & Blu-ray!

Have you had a chance to pick up your copy of V Season Two on DVD or Blu-ray? If not you really should, you won't be sorry! Check out this clip, I bet it will be leaving you wanting to watch more.


In season two of V, Hobbes constantly calls Ryan out as a traitor even though his treachery has far worse consequences. Not only has Hobbes killed humans, he slept with Erica and then indirectly caused the death of Erica's ex-husband Joe.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone regardless of their own actions kept pointing out what you were doing wrong?

This honestly happens not only on TV, but in real life too. How did you bring this to light or work around it to move forward?

Happy Halloween!!


At our house we have been practicing with our little man to say trick or treat, something I could never get our older one to say. Little man is all excited about going out to get lots of candy and seeing the other costumes out and about in town. One of my favorite parts of Halloween is getting to sit back and watch the good old Charlie Brown cartoons. Oh my how I love this time of year starting with Halloween.

The days of summer....

have come and gone. Heck, what am I saying? The days of fall have come and gone too! I sit here and think about how this year has flown by, and why does it have to go so quick. Then out of the blue I hear someone say …. “They say the temperature will drop about 25 degrees in the next couple of days and we could see the s-word this weekend.” Not the s-word! What word you might ask? SNOW!!

I guess it is that time of year again and there is no changing it. I guess I will hold tight to my warm pictures of summer while I wait to say goodbye to old man winter.

For many of you V fans, I am sure it ended way to soon. It's okay V fans because its your lucky day! The Complete Second Season of V is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray. V is the American Sci-fi series that was on ABC for two seasons and loved by many.Throughout the show certain characters that come suspicious of these visitors who "come in peace" to help humans with medial and technological breakthroughs. Anna leads the investigation to find out their true intentions.

In the series finale, the 5th Column is crushed in a failed coup against Anna. A new human opposition force has entered the picture called Aries Project. All humans above ground are blissed and fall under Anna's spell just as the V Armada approaches. An evil twin Lisa has been created who seduces Tyler becomes impregnated by him and then murders him. Lisa the Visitor Princess is imprisoned after an attack on her Mother's life and Anna kills her mother Diana.

If you were to write the next episode, where would you take the story? Would the humans triumph and crush the Vs, would the humans and Vs learn to live peacefully together, or is it doomsday for humanity?

Two and a Half Men Season Eight on DVD


Two and a Half Men: The Complete Eighth Season... by thewbdotcom


In Season 8, Episode 11, Alan can't afford a birthday gift for Lyndsey. He tries to raise money by offering massages at the mall but blows his earnings on a pearl necklace made of mints. Alan considers dipping into Jake's college fund but resorts to stealing a pair of earrings from Judith and has to think quickly to hide Lyndsey's new earrings when both show up at the same restaurant.

I can't say that I have ever really done anything that crazy when it comes to getting a gift for someone, nor do I know anyone who has. I can say that after having some birthday parties for my boys, I have looked back and thought I could have got by with not doing as much.

Have you ever gotten yourself into destitute & desperate situations like Alan from Two and a Half Men? You have to see how out-of-control things get on the Eighth Season of Two and a Half Men, available here.

Two and a Half Men Season Eight on DVD



On Two and a Half Men Alan is Jake's father, but Jake often looks up to his uncle Charlie the most. Did you have someone who you looked up to as a child?

For me it was my grandmother, she was and is someone that I hold near and dear to my heart. My grandmother raised 10 children, my father being the baby, and thus I was the baby grandchild. I can say my grandmother was an older grandmother compared to most, as she was 71 when I was born. However, I became very close to her and she was my 2nd mother. I learned so much from her like cooking, but I also learned so much about her childhood. Today when I am cooking I often think of her and wished my boys could have known her. I too think about her when I am stringing beans, as I sat a many summers at her kitchen table helping her string beans.

Two and a Half Men Season Eight on DVD


Two and a Half Men: The Complete Eighth Season...


Some of my favorite episodes of Two and Half Men is when Rose is part of the show. It's crazy what lengths she is willing to go to win Charlie over. One of those episodes is when Charlie realizes he has feelings for Rose, his stalker, he sets out to let her know and ends up catching a glimpse of her getting married. It turns out, Rose staged the marriage in from of an audience of mannequins to make Charlie jealous. It just shows us how Love can drive us to do some crazy things. Have you ever done anything crazy to get someone's attention?

I personally can't say that I have, but I did work with a girl one time that did some crazy things to win over her now husband. We use to laugh at the things she would tell us she done to get his attention, including stalking him like Rose does Charlie. I for sure thought that she would never win him over, but that wasn't the case and now they have a beautiful family together.

Two and a Half Men Season Eight on DVD


What can I say, I have really enjoyed watching Two and Half Men. My husband and I have enjoyed it for a several seasons now, it's a great way to relax and sit back and laugh.

In episode 11, Alan wants to get Lindsey a nice birthday present but is out of money. As a result, he comes up with different schemes to get the funds one of which involved him giving massages in the mall.

I don't know about you, but I can't say that I have given massages in the mall. I have had a funny job in the past though, well at the time I didn't think it was funny. Looking back it was, I worked for the local outlet mall that had a Hanes Bali store. As most of you know we sold underwear, bras, hosiery and some clothing. Needless to say I had to have a tape measure around my neck and measure ladies for their correct size bra. I almost hated to work at this job, esp. on the weekend when I knew we would be busy. I am not sure if you have ever been measured, but at the age of 17 it was a little much for me with some older ladies. ;o)

What about you, have you held down any funny jobs in the past? Have you ever followed through on an entrepreneurial venture? If so, how did it go?

Clifford...




Almost a month ago our little man had to have surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. I was worried about him, mostly worried about after the surgery how bad his pain would be. I knew he was in good hands before he went back for the surgery, the two nurses both came in a joked with him. They kept him upbeat and happy, and then the doctor prayed over him before they took him back. He was so relaxed and happy when they took him back that he did not cry at all. I knew God was in control and would see him through it.

After surgery I went back to the recovery area and what did I find? Clifford the Big Red Doctor! The nurse had too much time on his hands, and decided he would dress up Clifford. It was great because till this day, Chan still loves how Clifford is dressed and will not offer to remove the doctor attire.

He did so well after surgery that you would have never known anything had happened. The doctor told us we would have to stay overnight, but that wasn't the case. He did so well he let us go home that afternoon, and Chan actually got upset with the fact we would not let him eat "real" food. I am so happy things went well for him. Most of all I am glad that we no longer have a snoring little boy, so he is able to sleep better and breathe through his nose like he should.

This picture was taken just a few hours after surgery, as you can see him and dad enjoyed some drawing time. ;o)
