Growing up, I can remember my mom coming home with food from the Schwan's delivery guy...  From personal pizza's to frozen lemonades, they seemed to carry a little of this and a little of that...  Truth be told, I had no clue, until recently that Schwan's started as an ICE CREAM TRUCK in 1952. I am not sure if you are aware or not, but Schwan's is the 6th most popular grocery e-tailer in the U.S.  To celebrate their 60th Anniversary, Schwan's has introduced a new flavor ice cream:  Triple Chocolate Chunk.   Their description:    The special Triple Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream features milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate ice creams swirled with pieced of white and dark chocolate. With a smooth, creamy texture and fresh dairy taste, this limited-edition flavor is crafted in small batches and packaged in a reusable commemorative anniversary container. Doesn't that sound awesome?   Marc keeps talking about how we need ...

I just wanted to remind you that The Odd Life of Timothy Green will be coming out August 15th.   I am so excited about this, as it was filmed in my hometown and surrounding area and I just want to see if any of it makes it into the movie... From the previews, NO... but I am not to get too sad... Want to know why? That scene at the end of the clip... Where they are on the bike riding by the trees?   Yeah, I saw that filming!  You can see my post about Odd Life Of Timothy Green Filming .   So, here is a new clip for the movie.. Doesn't it look like a great one?!  Remember, August 15th... It is out... (Day after my birthday, so I remember!)

It is Friday!  Are you excited?  Well, I am ... Not because it is friday, just because it is another day! Today, I am linking up with Kailani ...  Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.  In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend . Since so many of my friends are moving...  My question to you:  How many states/countries have you lived in? Feel free to share which ones.... My answer, just one... GEORGIA Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

Whenever we have the boys here, I have to plan on having plenty of snacks on hand...  If you think about it, adding three growing boys to the mix, we have to keep them going :) They are now 16, 14 and almost 12... so yes, they are really growing...  As much as they would like to munch on candy bars, chips and drink coke all day long, I know that is not possible.  (I mean, wouldn't we all?!) So, when I heard of the Healthy Food , PROBAR Fruition , I knew I would love the chance to try them while the boys were here...  I had to try them when they came in and I will not lie, I was so nervous that they would not like them.  I just could not eat them... I think it was the texture.  Probar Fruition is full of fresh fruit... but also full of nuts and seeds.. I just could not deal with it.  Marc said they were "okay" but that was about it..  Remembering whenever I have tried to get the boys to try something new, I almost decided ...

If you remember when I reviewed that movie Margaret, I was completely LOST... I had no clue where it got the name Margaret, since NO ONE in the movie was even named Margaret... Well, thanks to ThinkJam, I can now share with you where it came from... It is taken from a POEM! If you scroll over the poem, it will give you little leaves at the end... With photo's from the movie and movie clips... I am SO GLAD that this is available... Granted, I still don't understand the movie, but at least I can clear up my being lost on the title!!!! What do you think about this interactive guide to help explain things?  I thought it was pretty neat!

Are you a fan of the "American Pie" movies? If so, I am sure you know that they have a new one out... I have watched some of them... so, I thought it would be nice to add to our collection. I just watched it and there is no surprise that this is one to watch when the kids are out or sleeping... Plenty of raunchy humor and plenty of foul language!  American Pie: Reunion doesn't disappoint!   I will admit, I had not seen any of the series since the second one.  Truth be told, I did not realize they had made so many since then!    But, I saw that the "reunion" was being advertised... and that the entire original cast was going to be back, so I wanted to see what all they had in store! I will say, it was a bit odd that they decided to all come back for their 13th reunion...  I thought it was a big deal for the 10, 15, 20 and so forth... but hey, whatever floats their boats, right? This starts off in true American Pie fashion... Bed b...
