Ed Helms cracks me up! I know, I know... His movies are not for everyone, but I have to admit... I laugh. The movies are a bit raunchy and the humor is not for everyone... But for those that like that kind of stuff... He did it again! Cedar Rapids! Add John C. Reilly to the mix and you know what you are getting! I will say, the funny parts are in the previews... That being said, you know they are coming. The movie started off slow for me... I guess it is to be expected, being that it is about Insurance Salesmen at a conference. I don't personally know any insurance salesmen... and I have never been to a conference, so who am I to really judge? But... This has Tim Lippe going to the conference to represent his company. (The guy that was supposed to go died.) Well, Tim Lippe (Ed Helms) goes and wow... He is Mr. Straight and Narrow! I do not think he has ever left his hometown before that trip. It is so funny watching him calling his " pre -fiance" to check in and have her...

Who doesn't like a good snack? I know we all do!!! I love it when I have a quick and healthy alternative and Crunch Pak is helping to make that possible! There are several times when Broxton wants an apple. (Yes, I love that he loves fruit as much as he does!) But I am not always at a position to cut it up at that second. With Crunch Pak , he can just grab a bag, I can sit him in his chair and we are all in a happy place. Crunch Pak has teamed up with Disney to make a co-branded eye catching product! We were sent a couple products to review and of course, Broxton was so happy! The first was the apple packs. We all loved them, as they were crunchy and oh so yummy! Although it was packaged, I did not have to worry about it being slimy or anything! Just right! Broxton was happy for the Foodles Product the most!! It was a snack in a Mickey shape!!! He was able to enjoy apples, cheese and pretzels! Of course, he loved the familiarity of the Mickey shape! Head on over to Crunch Pa...

Are you a fan of Jerky? My brother really enjoys grilling, cooking... All that good stuff. Well, last year, he made a WONDERFUL treat for us: Teriyaki Beef Jerky. It was delicious, but the thing is, he hasn't made it since then! It stinks... I loved it, but nope... Not since then! Well, I found a company that I can buy from, so I no longer need him! (Although I would love it from time to time, what a nice gift...) I saw that Dynasty Jerky makes all sorts of jerky and Teriyaki is one of them! We were able to review it and talk about delicious!!! Wow, It was so great! We literally INHALED it as soon as it arrived! It was tough, like Jerky should be, but not tough that it was hard to eat. In fact, I would be more apt to say it was softer than other jerky that I have tried!!! Dynasty Jerky has several different flavors to choose from. Top it off, they not only have BEEF jerky! They also carry: Elk, Venison and Buffalo. FROM THEIR SITE: Home of the yum…yum jerky. Here at Dynasty Jerky...

Dealing with Death is never easy. Actually, it hits each and every single one of us differently. As it hits us all differently, that also means that we all grieve differently. Each person has their own time for healing and grieving. Susan A. Berger has tried to explain The Five Ways We Grieve in her book that is now available at Amazon. I have been trying to read it, but at this time... I just can not do it. I have the boys here and we are enjoying the summer. It is not the time for me to try and read this book, although I know that it seems like a great way to help deal. I have skimmed over it and I think it is full of lots of great information, but I think it is also (in my case) a read for whenever I am faced WITH death, not before... Does that make sense? Just looking through the book, there are several key points that I want to address. First of all, there are "The Four Pillars of Identity." It is with this that "shape the world-view that survivors adopt after thei...

I was not sure what way I wanted to go with this... Did I want to try and capture motion, or just roll with it? Hope you like what I decided to go with: Have a Great Weekend!!!!
