I love the Avengers! So when I heard the title of this movie, Captain America: Civil War... well, I was a little worried. I don't want the Avengers not getting along! (I sound like a total mom, don't I!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Even though I had the opportunity to see this movie in IMAX (which was amazing, by the way) I still entered the theater with trepidation. Which side will the Avengers pick, will someone get hurt, will someone die? So many questions....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From Marvel:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Marvel’s
“Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team
of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after
another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage,
political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a
governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo
fractures the Avengers, resulting in two<s> </s>camps—one led by Steve Rogers
and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without
government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising
decision to support government oversight and accountability. </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What I loved about this movie was that while it had lots of amazing action-packed sequences, you also get to know the characters even better. Then add in the humor and some new heroes and it is a winning combination! The battle between the two hero teams was epic! The action was intense, but also very clever! Antman, by the way, is my favorite and he did not disappoint in this movie! I actually applauded at one point! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Instead of feeling like another sequel, this movie can stand on it's own. It was very well done! I definitely recommend it, and go see it soon so no one spoils it for you! It opens nationwide today, May 6th. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And for what it's worth... I'm totally Team Captain America!</span><br />

Then let's add in the new puppy we just got that we are house training... yeah, puppy piddle messes. Now let's add in our love of all things fried, and you can imagine that we deal with odors around here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the past, I have loved to use scent but my daughter is very sensitive to smell. She finds them overwhelming at times. Now Renuzit has come out with Sensitive Scents! Woo Hoo! Sensitive Scents are designed to give you long-lasting freshness without overpowering your senses. I can actually use these and my daughter doesn't complain!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had the opportunity to try three different fragrances, Pure Water Blossom & Cucumber, so refreshing and light, Pure Ocean Breeze, a light and clean scent, and my absolute favorite, Pure White Pear and Lavender, this one is heavenly! Excuse me for a minute, while I go spray some more in my home.... mmmm!</span><br />

Then I discovered the sad fact, that I'm scared of fish (Yeah, I know that's weird) and I get crazy seasick on the ocean! So oceanographer was not a good career choice. But I still have a fascination with the ocean. So, I wash pretty excited to see <em>Finest Hours</em>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What is it about, you ask?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">A heroic action-thriller, “The Finest Hours” is
the remarkable true story of the most daring rescue mission in the history of
the Coast Guard. </span><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Presented in</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> Digital 3D<b>™</b>,
Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, the film will transport audiences to the heart of the
action, creating a fully-immersive cinematic experience on an epic scale. On
February 18, 1952, a massive nor’easter struck New England, pummeling towns
along the Eastern seaboard and wreaking havoc on the ships caught in its deadly
path, including the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound for Boston, which was
literally ripped in half, trapping more than 30 sailors inside its
rapidly-sinking stern. As the senior officer on board, first assistant engineer
Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) soon realizes it is up to him to take charge of the
frightened crew and inspire the men to set aside their differences and work
together to ride out one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast. Meanwhile,
as word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard station in Chatham,
Massachusetts, Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana) orders a daring
operation to rescue the stranded men. Despite overwhelming odds, four men, led
by Coast Guard Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine), set out in a wooden lifeboat
with an ill-equipped engine and little, if any, means of navigation, facing
frigid temperatures, 60-foot high waves and hurricane-force winds.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So did I like it, you ask? Oh Yeah! It was an amazing movie! I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time! Not only did feel like I was out at sea, battling the waves and the storm, but I also went on an emotional voyage along with the characters in the story. Chris Pine did an amazing job portraying Bernie Webber, a shy, rule-following Coast Guard Captain. Yet, he went out to try and rescue the crew of the Pendleton, knowing there was a high probability he and his crew wouldn't make it back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To give you an idea of how immersed in the movie I became... I left the theater freezing, and seasick! My daughter, who saw the movie with me, thought that was hilarious! Seeing it in 3D, the snow was flying past me and the waves were crashing, and I felt like I was there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Disney does a great job with their movies, and I feel like this is one not to be missed! <em>Finest Hours</em> opens January 29th. Go see it, but bring a jacket!</span><br />

ragtag lemmings at his side, Norm takes on the big apple, big business and a
big identity crisis to save the day. <a href="http://www.normofthenorth.movie/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: blue;">www.NormOfTheNorth.Movie</span></span></a></span><span style="color: black;"><u5:p></u5:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can even tolerate Jar Jar Binks. So when I was offered the opportunity to see Star Wars The Force Awakens, well I was all kinds of excited!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There has been so much hype and all kinds of products bearing Star Wars logos that I was a bit dubious it would live up to all the press. Well, it did.... in a BIG way!</span><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sGbxmsDFVnE" width="560"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oh..... My..... Gosh!! What a movie!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do you remember the first time you saw the original Star Wars? The excitement, the wonder, the sense of discovering something entirely new? That's exactly what this movie did for me all over again! The minute the movie started with the familiar Star Wars logo and that amazing music by John Williams, I was swept away! It's a brand new movie, but it manages to evoke all those emotions we experienced with the first Star Wars movie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I usually do a quick synopsis of a movie when I review it, but not this one. I don't want anything to spoil it for you. There are amazing revelations, we get to see our old friends again, and make new ones! The battles are epic, the light sabers are completely cool, the villains are... well, pretty villainess. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I was on the edge of my seat during the battles! I laughed, I gasped out loud at times, I even shed a few tears. I felt like I'd been on an adventure when the movie was over. I almost didn't want to leave the theater... I didn't want the experience to end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is a long movie, over two hours, but the time passed so quickly. I really was swept away in all the magic that is Star Wars! I'm going back tomorrow and taking my family with me! I'm excited for them to see it, and I'm really excited to see it again! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> May the Force Be With You!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what is this book about?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From the book cover:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Elite tracker Kino Cosen is hunting for the drug lord who murdered his father. After a decade of searching, he's finally got the Viper in his sight—until a woman gets in the way. Now Kino has a new lead. Aid worker Lea Atlaha has seen the Viper face-to-face…and lived. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>But now Lea's a target. And while Kino thinks he's protecting her because she can help him get justice for his father, he soon realizes that she's not just another witness. As the Viper moves in for the kill, Kino has to choose between his need for vengeance, the traditions of his tribe and the woman he has grown to love.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, I agree! This book does not disappoint. I'm an avid reader of mysteries and suspense and this book by author Jenna Kernan held my attention the whole time. I loved reading a book set in my own backyard (southern Arizona) and loved learning about the Shadow Wolves and the Apache Tribe. The suspense kept me turning the pages and I liked the interaction between Lea and Kino.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a subplot about a younger sister that Kino and his brothers thought was dead, but recently discovered she was alive. I'm excited to read the rest of the series to find out where this part of the story goes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A big thumbs up to Jenna Kernan for a great romantic suspense novel! I'm really excited to read the next novel, Hunter Moon.</span> <br />

Disney seems to sprinkle that old Disney magic on everything they touch. So, when my son and I had the opportunity to see The Good Dinosaur I was expecting something... well... magical. I was not disappointed!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what is the movie about?</span><br />
<br />
From Disney: <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">"The
Good Dinosaur" asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever
changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never
became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into
the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo (voice of Raymond Ochoa)
makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious
landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he
is truly capable of.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From the opening scene I was blown away. Even something as stark as some meteors floating in space was done amazingly. It felt real. This movie is visually stunning! The landscapes looked so realistic, and each one looked like a masterpiece. Even without the story line, I was mesmerized by the scenery.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Speaking of the storyline, it was nothing like I expected. It's a story about dinosaurs with a decidedly western feel. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say that I got a big kick how they depicted the dinosaurs and the humans. The story of Arlo and his journey tugged at a lot of emotions for me. It was funny, sad, tragic, heroic. I seemed to be right there with Arlo as he learned so much about life, and about himself. Even my son was enthralled. We had an amazing chat on the way home about the things that Arlo learned.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I highly recommend The Good Dinosaur! If you get the chance go see it in 3D, go for it! Wow! I'm definitely taking the rest of the family to see this movie! Thanks Disney, it was truly magical!</span><br />

For me, that includes one of my favorite holidays, Halloween!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My family are big Scooby Doo fans, so when I asked my son what he wanted to be for Halloween.. well, you guessed it! So I went to </span><a href="http://www.costumesupercenter.com/mens+costumes-tv+and+movie.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Costume SuperCenter</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> and searched around, and look what I found! Yep, our friend Shaggy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, I ordered it and waited eagerly for it to get here! It came very quickly and when I showed my son the package the first thing he said was "Zoinks!" Funny kid!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r9WksqsLrTs/Veocps6au4I/AAAAAAAAB_4/3ppl3Q89Qk8/s1600/sept%2Bblog%2Bphotos%2B007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r9WksqsLrTs/Veocps6au4I/AAAAAAAAB_4/3ppl3Q89Qk8/s320/sept%2Bblog%2Bphotos%2B007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, we opened the package and my son tried it on! It's a great costume! I loved the shirt and pants, but my favorite was the little scraggly soul patch beard that was included! Okay, I may need to take more time to style the wig, but it's a start!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
He told me this is him heading off to find some food, then solve a mystery!</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, now the Scooby Doo theme has grown! I think it will be a family themed costume year! My daughter wants to be Daphne, I guess I'll be Velma, and of course, my husband will be Scooby Doo! So, it's back to Costume SuperCenter. If you're interested, you can </span><a href="https://twitter.com/CostumeSC"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">follow them here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. They have so many great costumes, it's really hard to pick just one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hurry up Halloween and get here! Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to make some pumpkin bread! Zoinks!</span><br />

My daughter is off to college. Doesn't mean I don't think about what she's eating, just means I'm not the one in charge any more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, in my son's lunch I like to pack healthy, yet yummy snacks! Enter ThinAddictives! I love these things! </span><br />

I think they are delicious! They are just the right amount of crunchy and sweet. I've tried several flavors, and my favorites are Cranberry. Unless I'm eating Cinnamon Raisin, then that's my favorite. But wait... if I'm eating Pistachio, that's my favorite. I just can't decide.</span></span><br />

I didn't know that until I started seeing some trailers for the new Ant-Man movie. I know some of you die-hard comic book lovers are shocked at my lack of Ant-Man knowledge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, when I was offered the chance to see Ant-Man, well, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Sure, Marvel does a great job with the movies, and sure, I love all the Avengers movies, and sure, it was a chance to see Paul Rudd... so, I wasn't too worried. But I had no expectations going in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I can now proudly announce that I am a huge Ant-Man fan! Okay, maybe I shouldn't use the word "huge" when referring to Ant-Man. Sorry, little guy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What is it about, you ask?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">The next evolution of the
Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big
screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the
astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief
Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym,
protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of
towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must
plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.</span></span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I loved every minute of this movie! Well, except when Scott Lang, aka Paul Rudd got punched in his handsome face... but I digress. I loved the story development, I loved the journey Scott Lang took to discover his "inner hero". Add in great action sequences and you've got yourself a great movie. Plus, this show was funny! Really funny! I loved when Scott Lang was trying to learn how to control the ants, very funny stuff (and a little creepy-crawly too!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas were great and Corey Stoll was a great bad guy! I especially loved Ant-Man's human side-kicks! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Go see Ant-Man! I think you'll really like it, and maybe even get a new appreciation for ants. Oh yeah, and don't forget to stay through the ending credits. There are two surprises!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I got to see this in 3D IMAX and wow! Wow! let me say it again... Wow! If you get a chance, I highly recommend seeing this in 3D. It was incredible!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I believe I will be taking all my family to see Ant-Man this weekend! It opens today, July 17th in theaters nationwide. Have fun!</span><br />

Very busy! We all are. I seem to be running out the door, usually without time to grab something to eat, or a snack for on the road. Then, when I'm hungry I reach for something not so healthy. Several of my friends are very gluten sensitive so it's especially hard for them to find a healthy snack.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, let me tell you about Nogii! They are high protein, gluten free bars. They are a nice balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates and do not contain high fructose corn syrup, trans fats or hydrogenated oils. Now, to the question you are asking.... how do they taste?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPkUsNA6WHY/VY7nc138XhI/AAAAAAAAB64/_X3UYlQXJ44/s1600/blog%2Bpics%2B2015%2B040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPkUsNA6WHY/VY7nc138XhI/AAAAAAAAB64/_X3UYlQXJ44/s320/blog%2Bpics%2B2015%2B040.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I like them! The Nogii bar comes in several different varieties, including the high protein bar, the paleo bar, the super protein bar, and my personal favorite, protein d'lites (bite sized delites of high protein deliciousness)! The flavors are great, chocolate mint, peanut butter and chocolate, chocolate coconut, and chocolate brownie. If chocolate's not your thing try the paleo bars that are filled with berry and nut goodness! The bars are a great mix of crunchy, chewy. They are substantial so I feel full after I've had one. They also feel like I've indulged myself, the taste is great! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I really am a fan! I keep a nogii bar in my purse at all times. My daughter loves them too! She uses them after she exercises to refuel! My whole family likes these and our stock of them dwindles quickly! I'm even prone to hide the D'lites! I love those little guys!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You can learn more on the website </span><a href="http://nogii.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">nogii.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> , or check them out on </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/nogiinogluten"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">facebook</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, and </span><a href="http://www.twitter.com/nogiidiet"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">twitter</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nogii is running a sweepstakes right now where you can win a trip to New York City to meet and have lunch with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Just visit facebook (you can from the link above) and enter the contest there. Hurry though, the contest ends July 31st, 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go buy more D'lites. I don't know WHO keeps eating them!</span> <br />

I always have some on hand! My personal favorite WAS Cranberry Almond Thins. Mango Coconut Almond Thins has now replaced Cranberry Almond Thins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what are these delectable treats, you ask? Let me tell you! They are delicious, thin, lightly sweet, crunchy Thins. (They call them, Thins, I call them cookies!) Here's the best part, they are low carb!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
They come in convenient portion-packs averaging 100-calories or
less. They are low-fat, low-carb and
contain 3g of protein/per serving – helping keep hunger away between meals.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I think they are just the right amount of sweet and crunchy! I always keep a box on my desk as I'm working. It helps with my between-meal munchies and I don't feel guilty eating them! My favorite has Mango, Coconut and Almonds, yum! If Mango Coconut Almond isn't for you, try Nonni's other flavors, Cranberry Almond, Cinnamon Raisin Almond, Pistachio Almond, Blueberry Oat Almond, and Banana Dark Chocolate Almond! </span><br />

Well, Disney explains it with their new movie Inside Out! Don't worry, they are good voices!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My son and I had the opportunity to attend a preview of Inside Out.... Loved it! I thought it would be cute, Disney does cute very well. But it was more, I loved the life lessons subtly taught through the movie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what is it about, you ask?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no
exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father
starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her
emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust
(Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters,
the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through
everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new
life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's
main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions
conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Inside Out, grabbed me right off the bat! I loved meeting all the emotions, Joy was my favorite, (though that really goes with my personality. I might drive you crazy with my optimism!) My son loved Anger (yes, my son's go-to emotion is anger). Now here's the cool thing, my son and I had a great talk after the movie about how losing your temper doesn't end well. It was a great teaching moment. I was reminded that sadness is an important part of our emotions also. It was not only a really great movie to watch... funny, poignant, thoughtful, cute... but also led to some great discussions. In fact, we talked all the way home about it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thanks Disney for another wonderful movie! Inside Out opens nationwide, June 19th. Go see it, I think you'll really enjoy it!</span><br />

Me neither... until now! I've had the opportunity to try some great products from Xlear. What is Xylitol, you ask? What are these products, you ask? Let me tell you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener that has some amazing properties. The company Xlear has used it in a great line of products that I'd like to tell you about. I got the opportunity to try them through #MomsMeet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VpwKR89tng4/VXpkY2l2HjI/AAAAAAAAB40/gyj4x6uPuf4/s1600/blog%2Bpics%2B2015%2B041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VpwKR89tng4/VXpkY2l2HjI/AAAAAAAAB40/gyj4x6uPuf4/s320/blog%2Bpics%2B2015%2B041.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Let's start with Spry Toothpaste and Spry Oral Rinse. It has a pleasing peppermint taste, which is really important to me! I can't brush with something that doesn't taste good. I also really enjoyed how fresh my mouth felt after using the Oral Rinse. Now, lets get to the health benefits: Spry Toothpaste and Oral Rinse's ability to promote better oral health is backed by thousands of clinical studies, and all of the products in the Spry Dental Defense System include Xylitol. In addition to the immediate results, research has shown that effectively using xylitol for as little as a few months may have longer-lasting results that remain for years. It helps mineral absorption into the enamel of your teeth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also had the chance to try Xlear Nasal Spray. It has been shown to help stop bacterial adherence in your nasal passages. I gave it a super challenge! I was suffering from a monster cold, couldn't breathe through my nose and my sinuses were so plugged. I used the Xlear Nasal Spray and it helped so much! My nose cleared up so I could start to breathe better. Plus it hydrated my very sore nasal passages. I am a believer! It helped me so much!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now to my favorite part, Spry Gum and Spry Gems. I love these! Spry Gems are delicious mints that are sugar free and actually good for you</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">! <span class="catalogAdditional_Detail" id="ctl04_WebPartManager1_wp2004813737_wp1530790652_labelAdditional2_Detail" style="font-family: Tahoma;">Spry Gems are sweetened with 100% xylitol! Spry Gems combine the tooth-protecting properties of xylitol with a tasty, pH-balanced formula to maintain the health of teeth, gums and oral tissues. Xylitol actually promotes oral health and may reduce the risk of tooth decay. I tried the mint and the cinnamon, both are great but cinnamon is my favorite! I loved the Spry Gum also! I tried the Peppermint and it was great! It kept it's flavor for a long time and I loved that it was good for me!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I really like these products! You can check them out at </span><a href="http://xlear.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">xlear.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Now I have great news for you!

I love nice scents in my home! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have a teenage son, dogs, and a husband who loves bacon, so there are a lot of scents in my home, some not so pleasant. So when I was offered the chance to review Renuzit Pearl Scents, well, I was thrilled!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First, I love how they look! They are little jars that have a nice shape. Inside are little "pearls" that are filled with scent. You peel off the label and right away you are surrounded by wonderful scents. I got to try "Sparkling Rain". It was a pretty green color and I really liked the scent! I can't say it necessarily smelled like rain, but it was a wonderful clean smell!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">They are available in Blue Sky Breeze, Serenity, Sparkling Rain, Tranquil and Seductive Pineapple. The colors of each scent are gorgeous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, I decided to give Renuzit Pearl Scents the ultimate test. I had company coming and they would be staying in my teenage son's room. It was clean, but it still had this lingering teenage boy smell. I put the Renuzit Pearl Scents in his room. Voila! Problem solved! His room actually started smelling lovely! It was very subtle, not overpowering, but it definitely did the job! I'm a fan, and will be purchasing more Pearl Scents in other aromas! I think I'm trying Seductive Pineapple next.... who can resist a name like that?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wanna try Renuzit Pearl Scents yourself? They are available at your local retailer OR three of you lucky readers will each win a free product coupon to try it yourself! Just enter on the form below.</span><br />

Love to go, eat popcorn and escape into the plot for awhile. When the movie is about the Avengers, I'm skipping to the theater in excitement! This time I got to go with my teenage son. He wasn't really thrilled to have his Mom skipping along beside him... so I just walked briskly!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We had the opportunity to see Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's another installment in the Avengers movies! What is it about, you ask?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From Marvel Studios:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic
follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to
jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible
Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the
planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it
is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and
soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique
global adventure.</span><span style="color: black;"><u5:p></u5:p><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, was it good, you ask? Oh yeah! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First, we got to see it not only in 3D but in IMAX 3D. What an experience! I highly suggest you spend a few extra pennies and go see it at the IMAX! Wow! Again, I say Wow!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The first opening sequence is a major battle as the Avengers attack an outpost of one of the bad guys from Cobra. It is so action packed, yet still had some very funny lines. We are also formally introduced to two new bad guys. They are pretty formidable! Won't say who, don't want to spoil anything...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Avengers: Age of Ultron had it all, Action, Adventure, Funny, and yes, even some romance. Can you believe it? Plus, it's romance where I didn't expect it. James Spader is the voice of Ultron, and I loved him! Can't you just hear him waxing philosophical on the extinction of the human race?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The movie is actually about 2 and 1/2 hours long, but I had no idea it had been that long when it was over. The time flew by! I got to see all my favorite Avengers, and learn some new things about them, plus we got to meet some new Avengers! How cool is that! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Avengers: Age of Ultron did not disappoint! In fact, we are going to see it again this weekend and take the rest of the family! I'm so excited! I'll probably be skipping to the theater!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's no secret that I have a monster sweet tooth! I love all the sugary goodness! But all the sugary goodness isn't so good to me. Insert frowny face and sigh....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Before you go feeling too sad for me, let me tell you that I'd much rather be healthy than munching on sweet stuff. This is the year I've been re-teaching myself to eat healthier, and bringing my family along with me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been making healthier eating choices and exercising, and seeing some results. But let's face it, we all have those between meal hungries, or those crazy cravings..... Am I right?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVN_7C4rsokGNUMQSq3hGDHYs-Wsg2Gynosd5AFljh0cMmUxCedXtt6REanfFGlwK9Gtk9BGJWBXp9nQwbvldDSTxHP-6pb9Yl4KJAwob3Eyq2i554aVNtDd9y9EkMRFnC92J9OAueHWc/s1600/snapfit.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVN_7C4rsokGNUMQSq3hGDHYs-Wsg2Gynosd5AFljh0cMmUxCedXtt6REanfFGlwK9Gtk9BGJWBXp9nQwbvldDSTxHP-6pb9Yl4KJAwob3Eyq2i554aVNtDd9y9EkMRFnC92J9OAueHWc/s1600/snapfit.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, let me tell you about a great new product I've discovered. It's called SnapFit. It is a little packet with a big effect! Snapfit is a drink that is full of fiber, 15 different fibers to be exact. When mixed with 4 ounces of water, it helps you feel full. Really! Some of those fibers help you feel full immediately and some help keep you feeling full. It comes in Strawberry, Peach, and Lemon. There are 10 grams of fiber, which is the equivalent of 37 stalks of celery. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather drink a packet of SnapFit than eat 37 stalks of celery... blegh!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So does it work? Oh, yes! My first attempt was a bit of a failure. I decided to not follow directions and added a packet of Strawberry SnapFit to 8 ounces of water and ice. I thought it would be a refreshing beverage. Nope.... the fiber immediately got thick and settled on the bottom of my glass. So I decided to actually follow the instructions and mix it with 4 ounces of water. I did, then drank it down. It mixed very nicely and actually tasted great! And yes, it definitely helped me feel full.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been using it for a couple weeks now, once or twice a day. I even took it with me on a trip to Disneyland to help keep me strong in the face of those delicious Disney Churros. SnapFit saved the day! Now, try not to faint, but I actually lost weight on the trip to Disneyland! I've lost weight, because I'm not tempted to snack. Snapfit takes care of that.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, I give SnapFit an enthusiastic thumbs up! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy a Peach Snapfit, my favorite!</span><br />

I love body mist, scented shower gels, scented laundry detergent... all the good stuff! I love burying my face in a towel that's just come out of the dryer, warm and smelling wonderful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So when Purex came out with a new way to make my laundry smell sweet, well, I was all over that!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6NKiVq4Elv4/VTAS68b_8gI/AAAAAAAAB0M/Z_kVyLUPn8c/s1600/Purex-Crystals-ScentSplash-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6NKiVq4Elv4/VTAS68b_8gI/AAAAAAAAB0M/Z_kVyLUPn8c/s1600/Purex-Crystals-ScentSplash-1.jpg" height="284" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Let me tell you about Purex Crystals ScentSplash. It is an in-wash fragrance booster. You add it directly to your washer. It is liquid, and fairly thick so it makes it less likely to spill (yeah, I'm one of those that spills all the time!) You can add a half-capful for full fragrance, or less if you'd like it with just a hint of fragrance. I use a half-capful on my towels and they smell heavenly, though not over-whelming. My clothes, I add a little less and that seems to be just the right amount of aaah!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Purex Crystals ScentSplash comes in Fresh Spring Waters, Fresh Lavender Blossom, and Fresh Mountain Breeze. I tried the Fresh Spring Waters and really like the light, fresh fragrance!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know it smells good, because I caught my teenage son sniffing a towel and smiling. I know! Maybe it will encourage my kids to want to spontaneously fold the towels.... nah, that's asking too much!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am pleased to announce that three of you lucky readers can win a free product coupon for ScentSplash! Just enter on the form below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thanks Purex for another Scentsational Product! Get it? Scentsational? I am so clever!</span><br />

You also know that I'm usually trying to drop a few pounds (or more than a few pounds!). You can probably guess that sugar is not our friend in this house. I guess you could call it a delicious enemy!<br />
<br />
So I was pretty excited to try SweetLeaf Organics products! I got to sample their Organic Stevia Sweetener, the Liquid Stevia Sweet Drops, and Sweet Drops for Water. To sum up... I love it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4bCdEgI4KMEZ79glO-TNStgAB8WFogVdXiVuxt7P9l01sHTHmw8eXwssrjvxYnRcNJK_h89XxOnK0AqEOod7euveTzmIh2_FmXuCds5nnmgU4hVbvZo18pt-UIKEAJDJc123MItTuhA/s1600/191.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4bCdEgI4KMEZ79glO-TNStgAB8WFogVdXiVuxt7P9l01sHTHmw8eXwssrjvxYnRcNJK_h89XxOnK0AqEOod7euveTzmIh2_FmXuCds5nnmgU4hVbvZo18pt-UIKEAJDJc123MItTuhA/s1600/191.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Let's start with the Organic Stevia Sweetener. It is certified organic by Quality Assurance International. This means that it has been fully verified that the highest organic standards are met in every phase of production. I love that it is non-GMO, zero calories, zero carbs, and no artificial ingredients! I use it all the time now. I actually keep a few packets in my purse, so I always have it with me! It does a great job sweetening and I don't detect any aftertaste!<br />
<br />
Next, let's talk about sweet drops. They are little drops of flavor that you can add to... well, anything! SweetLife Organics has over twenty flavors you can try. I tried some Peppermint Mocha in my hot chocolate... Yum! I use the Sweet Drops for water all the time! I add a couple drops to my bottled water or a glass of water and love the added sweetness and flavor! My favorite is Valencia Orange. Berry is very tasty also. Again, no carbs, no calories, no aftertaste and no artificial ingredients.<br />
<br />
We will definitely continue to use SweetLife Organics! I think they are great products that I feel good about using with my family. Thanks SweetLife! You're so sweet!<br />

Mine was Cinderella! I loved when her Fairy Godmother came and transformed her dress! (I guess even then I liked remaking clothes!) I remember telling my mom when she told me to clean my room, "I'm just like Cinderella, doing all the work!" Such a dramatic child!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, I have been waiting rather impatiently since I heard that Disney has making a live-action Cinderella. After waiting and waiting (at least I thought so), it was my time to go to the ball... or at least the movie, Cinderella!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Let me tell you what it's about. It's about Cinderella.... I don't think anyone doesn't know the story of Cinderella. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here's what Disney had to say:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The story of “Cinderella” follows the
fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following
the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her
new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger)
and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father
unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel
new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in
ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope.
Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her
mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to
despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing
stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely
an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It
appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open
invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again
encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids
her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy
tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham-Carter) steps forward
and – armed with a pumpkin and a few mice – changes Cinderella’s life forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">A live-action feature inspired by the classic
fairy tale, “Cinderella” brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950
animated masterpiece as fully-realized characters in a visually dazzling
spectacle for a whole new generation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here's what I have to say:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I loved every single minute of the movie! I loved the subtle little nods to the original animated classic. I loved the scenery! The actors chosen to portray the characters were amazing! The whole transformation scene with Helena Bonham-Carter as the Fairy Godmother was priceless! I giggled out loud with excitement and anticipation! And oh, that dress! I need one! Imagine how elegant I would look while vacuuming! Of course I'd wear it to a ball, but since I've never been to a ball... I'd wear it all the time at home, or going out to the grocery store, or picking my kids up from school, or... Ü</span><br />

I like to go and escape into the plot and the scenery and forget my every day stresses. Plus, can we talk movie popcorn? Yum! So, I was excited for the opportunity to see McFarland, USA. I knew it would be a feel-good movie, and Disney always does their movies well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What I didn't expect was to be moved and inspired. I didn't expect to talk about the movie all the way home with my husband. I didn't expect to go home and re-commit to goals I had set. I didn't expect to look at life with a different perspective. McFarland, USA is the movie that did that for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Let me tell you a little bit about the movie:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Based on the 1987 true story, “McFarland, USA”
follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in
California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a
cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a
newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. Coach White and the
McFarland students have a lot to learn about each other but when White starts
to realize the boys’ exceptional running ability, things begin to change. Soon
something beyond their physical gifts becomes apparent—the power of family
relationships, their unwavering commitment to one another and their incredible
work ethic. With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners
eventually overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country
team but an enduring legacy as well. Along the way, Coach White realizes that
his family finally found a place to call home and both he and his team achieve
their own kind of American dream.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, why was I so moved? One of the things that inspired me is how the boys kept running no matter what. They had incredible challenges in their lives, yet they overcame and kept running. They found in each of themselves that spark that when ignited shows us we can accomplish greatness.... it's there in all of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I loved how the community encircled the White family. It all started with a chicken! There were cultural differences and stereotypes and pre-conceived prejudices, yet all that was put aside as they learned to embrace the differences and love... they became family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I loved how Coach Jim White and the boys themselves changed not only the direction of their lives but generations that followed. At the end of the movie you can see the actual boys (all grown men now) and what they've done with their lives. So many of them returned to McFarland and continue to give back to the community, not only through the careers they've chosen but by their community support.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I left the movie wanting to re-ignite <u>my</u> spark, wanting to make a difference, with a renewed belief that one person's droplet of kindness can have a ripple effect that goes on and on. I left the movie wanting to be a better me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">McFarland, USA opens in theaters nationwide today, February 20th. If nothing else, you'll enjoy the movie, the story is entertaining, funny, and heart-warming. But you just may, like me, come out a little bit better.</span><br />

Did you know that Redheads typically have teeth that are more yellow than others. Yeah, great trivia fact, not so great for us Redheads!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm always on the lookout for something that will make my teeth whiter. The problem that I run into is I've also been blessed with teeth that are sensitive, so most whitening products leave me with unhappy teeth! (sensitive teeth are unhappy teeth!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ARM & HAMMER Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste, and Whitening and Strengthening Fluoride Rinse promise to whiten your teeth in just 5 days and without the use of Peroxide... which for me means, no irritation. Truly Radiant strengthens and repairs tooth enamel, love that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, what did I think of the stuff? Well.... let me tell you. Loved it! The toothpaste had a light mint flavor and had a cooling sensation when I brushed my teeth. And yes, my teeth were whiter in 5 days! In the past I have not been a fan of mouthwash or fluoride rinses. Don't like the taste. I used them, but thought I was being poisoned in the process. Truly Radiant had a taste that wasn't over-powering. My mouth felt fresh and no irritation! Woot!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I almost got to try the Spinbrush Manual Toothbrush. I set it in my bathroom to use that evening and when it came time to brush my teeth at bedtime, the toothbrush had mysteriously disappeared. Right into my son's hand. So, according to my son, the Spinbrush is "great, Mom" said in typical teenage fashion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Truly Radiant is my new go-to toothpaste and mouthwash. I'm a fan! You can probably tell by my lovely smile with my sparkling teeth!</span><br />

He has Sensory Processing Disorder. So what does that have to do with Purex Power Shot? Let me paint a picture....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My son goes through no less than four outfits a day I won't go into details, but those are necessary clothing changes. Now, add in that we live rural and my son loves being outdoors, living life with gusto! Let's finish the picture with the fact that we are working hard trying to help our sweet son be as independent as possible. It paints quite a laundry quandary.... hey, that rhymed!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Name a play and I can probably sing a song from it! So when I heard "Into The Woods" was being made into a movie, well I was thrilled!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pvc0vrmBOaQ/VJs9OGZdSlI/AAAAAAAABrM/I9NDXXs9U_s/s1600/Woods.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pvc0vrmBOaQ/VJs9OGZdSlI/AAAAAAAABrM/I9NDXXs9U_s/s1600/Woods.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was giddy with excitement on the way to see this movie and it did not disappoint! I was enthralled from the opening to the ending credits. Though, I did have to giggle... on the way out I overhead another movie goer exclaim that there was entirely too much singing in the movie. Someone should have warned her that a musical involves singing. So be forewarned, this is a musical and everyone sings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what is "Into The Woods" about?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From Disney: </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><em>"Into the Woods” is a
modern twist on several beloved fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few
choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and
quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of
Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and
the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy), all tied
together by an original story involving a Baker and his Wife (James Corden and
Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the Witch
(Meryl Streep), who has put a curse on them." </em></span></span><br />

He did an amazing job! Watching Chris Pine as Prince Charming. Not only a feast for the eyes, but he did an amazing job portraying a charming prince. The song "Prince's Lament" was probably my favorite part of the movie! It was hilarious! And of course, Meryl Streep as the witch! She was flawless!</span></span><br />

Here's some fun facts about the set. Did you know that the set was built on Stage H at Shepperton Studios, and made up of 2,000 tons of soil, over 600 ferns, acres and acres of ivy and countless pallets of moss and turf. 95% of the trees used on the Wood set were real trees, including 30-foot pine trees and hundreds of 25 foot oak tree branches. The leaves were removed and replaced with artificial ones so they would last longer. Oh yeah, and Rapunzel's hair in the film is 20 feet long and made with real hair!</span></span><br />
