As most people know, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is every October. There are many different things you can do to support the research. From Breast Cancer Walks to wearing the bracelets... Putting a pink magnet on your car or wearing a lapel pin. There are ways to help. Yoplait is also adding to it. Not sure how many people know this, but over the past 13 years, Yoplait has donated over $30 million for the breast cancer cause. I knew they donated, but until now, did not know it was that much. You know those pink lids on their yogurts? You send them in and they donate! How simple is that to help? You already buy it and eat the yogurt, all you have to do is send in the lids! Pretty simple! Now, making it easier, you can even submit the codes online now! Through their Save Lids to Save Lives Campaign, you can send in your lids... Up until December 31st. For every lid you send in, they will donate 10 cents... Up to $2 million!!!! Add to that, they are tracking based upon your ...

If you know me... You love me, for me... Not for my cooking. I admit it, I am not one that sits around baking and making the house smell all warm and full of cakes and pies and brownies and what not... I just do not know how...

So, I put on my new apron (provided in my prize pack, and guess what, I loved it, I have never owned an apron and it made me think of my Nana!) I grabbed my new spoon and then set out to make the brownies. Oh, then I got to worrying that I would not have all the ingredients! That must have been a joke my mind was playing on me, as I flipped the box over and saw I needed like 3 things!! Talk ...

Broxton is not in school, so luckily we do not have to worry about snacks for the class or bake sales or anything like that... YET! But, we do have the boys here for summer... Yes, our home is 4 boys, daddy and poor ol ' me! Luckily for me, I was able to review the Pillsbury Brownie Pack! Working with My Blog Spark, I was sent a gift card to Sam's to purchase brownies, 2 tubs of frosting, a container to hold all the yummy brownies and an icing kit! Let me just tell you... The boys kept asking over and over when we were going to go get the brownies... So, we loaded up and headed over to Sams ... Whoa! Get to the bakery section and we grabbed them! They were so excited that they were already made! All we had to do was get home and cut them up! (I am sure if we had a knife... and if they were allowed to eat in the car, they would not have made the trip home!) We got home and I frosted up the brownies... The boys (and daddy) liked the chocolate frosting the best... I enjoyed the C...
