When I was little, I loved ants!  I loved to watch them scurrying here and there, always busy, always working.  I did reports on them at school.  I remember working particularly hard on a poster all about their little ant community.  I totally aced that report!

Now that I'm grown up, well.... while I admire their work ethic... I'm not a big fan of those little buggers.  Especially when they try and invade my home.  Nah uhh... don't like them one little bit. 

During the summer around here, those nasty little guys always try to invade my kitchen and my laundry room.  Combat Source Koll Max Ant Bait to the rescue!

I love this stuff!  It can wipe out a whole colony.  The ants carry the bait back to the colony and can pass it on to the queen.  Good bye ants, good bye queen.  I like that I can set the little ant baits wherever I need them and they are child resistant.  The poison is inside, not where I can get any on my hands.

I'm currently using it in my laundry room and kitchen and I have not seen any ants since I started using it!  Woo hoo!

I also used the Combat Source Kill Max Ant Gel.  It's a fast acting gel that will kill the ants, but not before the ants get back to the colony and share their poison prize!  I placed this where I knew the ants were getting in, in the laundry room and I have not seen any since.  I am one satisfied customer!

Combat is also holding a fun contest (you KNOW how I love contests!) that you can enter.  It is for $1000 and an assortment of Combat brand products!  It's called the Combat Bug-Free Backyard Bash Sweepstakes!  You can enter here!  We could all use a Bug-Free Backyard and oh yeah!...  $1000.  Woot!

I know, I know... someone else talking about healthy foods and fiber.  Now, don't tune me out... I want to tell you about something that's yummy AND healthy.  Yes, Virginia there Is a yummy, healthy cereal.

Introducing Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds! 
First the Healthy Part:

It contains 11 grams of fiber (43% of the Daily Value) and 23 grams of whole grain goodness.  Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans don't get enough fiber in their diet? I didn't either...

Now the Yummy Part:

Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds contains... wait for it... delicious clusters of nuts and almond slivers!  I think it had just the right amount of crunchiness mixed in with the flakes!  I also loved that I felt full and kept feeling full for much longer than usual!  That's quite a plus for me!

I don't know if I would have pulled this off the store shelf if I saw it in the store, simply because it's called Fiber One.  But I'm so glad I had the opportunity to try it, because now I'm a fan!

Want to try some for yourself?  You can click here to get a coupon worth $1.25off of a box.  Or.... you  can enter my contest and win some for yourself (plus a little extra)!  One of you lucky readers can win two boxes of Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds, a wooden nut bowl and a spoon!  Woot!

The Odd Life of Timothy Green - What a movie!  I was oddly charmed, oddly moved and oddly uplifted! 

My sweet husband and I had the opportunity to preview this movie.  We went to the preview not knowing one thing about the movie.  From the first scene we were drawn in and stayed captivated through the end.  What a movie!


My husband and I found this movie especially poignant because we dealt with infertility and have a child that sees life differently, yet brings great joy to all around him!  We laughed, we (I) cried, we were completely immersed in this movie!  We absolutely loved it, and want to see it again!  Then we want to buy it when it comes out on BluRay!  Just watching the trailers again brought up all the joy, and memories and emotions that I felt watching it the first time.

I give The Odd Life of Timothy Green a great big thumbs up!  It opens in theaters today, August 15th. Go see it!  I think you'll love it!
