Register NOW! Book It Fall Challenge and Sweepstakes Starts October 19th

9/30/2015

Comments

The goal of the challenge is to build reading-readiness skills and develop an at-home reading routine. BOOK IT! shines a spotlight on establishing a reading routine by issuing a Spring and Fall challenge to young readers and families each school year. The challenge is open to anyone who has a preschooler - it can be done individually or by classrooms - no restrictions.

FALL CHALLENGE

Dates: October 19 - December 11, 2015

We’re delighted to announce that , written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, is the feature partner for the Fall Give Me 20 Challenge. The bear’s hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. Just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Join us this fall on the hunt for the red, pointy hat!

How it works: Read to your class/children for at least 20 minutes per day, five days per week during the eight weeks of the challenge. The challenge will incorporate fun I Want My Hat Back reading activities to keep track of how much reading is completed each day! At completion of the eight-week reading period, classes and individuals will be eligible for a chance to win one of fifty prize packs including a copy of two books: I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat written and illustrated by Jon Klassen and a Pizza Hut gift card. Official Rules.

Is Your Skin suffering from aging or sun damage?
Is It Losing elasticity and youthfulness?

My Thoughts:
It seems like yesterday I was just turning 21 and now in just over a month I will be celebrating my fiftieth birthday! My mind says no difference but the skin around my eyes and mouth have really started to show a loss of elasticity as fine creases have started to form. So I was thrilled to try Anaiti's Advanced Moisturizer. After applying a small amount of this concentrated moisturizer each evening for a week I was pleased to see that these creases have diminished and some even went away completely. This jar is small but you only need a tiny bit each day to see results. Making a big difference in how your skin feels and looks a little bit of this product goes a long way. My boyfriend said that he would like to try it and has now started using it, also. He was happy with the way if felt and that it didn't have a strong smell.

Halloween Time - Every Little Girl Wants To Be A Princess!

My Granddaughter Had To Put On Her New Princess Party Dress As Soon As It Arrived!

Every Little Girl Wants To Be A Princess! #CinderellaPrincessDress

Product Description:

Elsa Anna Cinderella Party Dress Costume has a multi layer skirt with glittery snowflakes
Made with cotton and other quality fabric.

My Thoughts:
My five year old granddaughter loves Frozen and can sing every song from the movie. She normally wears a size 6 so I ordered her a size 5/6 and it fit perfectly just barely brushing the floor with no shoes on. The skirt portion measured 24" from the waist to the hem. When the dress arrived I was impressed with the quality of the fabric in addition to how straight and tight the stitching was. She loves her new dress and couldn't wait for Halloween to wear it. I see many trips to the grocery store and to pick up Daddy in her new favorite dress.

Whether your little girl loves Walt Disney's new comedy adventure featuring fearless optimist Anna and her mysterious sister Elsa, Frozen or the timeless classic Cinderella in which Ella finds herself at the mercy of her cruel stepmother and evil stepsisters this beautiful dress will have her dancing around and feeling like a princess.

Restore Energy And Cut Hunger

Restore Energy And Cut Hunger

The word protein is derived from the Greek word Proteios, meaning Primary, alluding to its great importance to our diet. Protein is essential to practically every part of the body, from hair and skin to muscle and tissue.

Whey protein is popular among individuals who have specific fitness goals, like athletes and bodybuilders. Among its benefits, whey protein has a fast absorption rate, which means that not only does it help build muscle, but it also helps repair muscle immediately after a workout. Whey is a complete protein, providing all the nine essential amino acids necessary for our bodies.

About the Product:

Can be used as a meal replacement
Provides 25 grams of protein and 5.6grams of BCAA's per serving
Delicious tasting flavors that mixes with your favorite beverage and is naturally sweetened with Stevia
Certified Kosher

Restore Energy And Cut Hunger #ZahlerWheyProtein

My Thoughts:
For the past two weeks I've I mixed this up for my boyfriend with cold water in a shaker bottle designed for protein drinks before left for his 20 mile bike and run workouts. He found that this whey protein which is designed to help build and repair muscles tastes very much like the protein drinks that he would get at the popular health clubs and gyms that he went to in California. He like it so much that I had to try it. So for some extra protein in my yogurt smoothie I added a half scoop along with my peanut butter powder. The combination was delicious. I found that it also mixed in easily in to both water and yogurt. I believe that the attention to the quality of ingredients is what makes it one of the best protein mixes available on the market.

No Mess Outback Steakhouse's Aussie Cheese Fries Recipe

Artisan Cooking Supply
Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats
Make For
Easier Food Cooking!

Some Bacon Cheesy Fries I made this weekend using Ore-Ida Crispers. After putting it together I just covered for a minute to melt the cheese.

Details:

HOLIDAY baking season is here. Get your mats in time for the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas baking season. Save yourself tons of time with the easy to clean baking mat.
IMAGINE baking with your kids and the feeling of triumph at their success. Our kids love using this mat with the easy placement hearts.
SAVE MONEY NOW. Compared to the price of a single roll of parchment paper you can have this resuable mat that has 3000+ uses. Saves the environment and your wallet.
KNOW you are protected with their lifetime guarantee. 60 Day - 100% Money back.
Cooking mat is FDA approved, LFBG Food Safe, RoHS Green, and ISO 9001 certified.
Measurements and Images for Easy Rolling and Layout of Foods.
Safe for Temperatures from -40°F to 450°F (-40°C to 230°C)
Safe for use in the Oven, Microwave, Freezer, and Dishwasher

My Thoughts:
I have several mats for my smaller baking pans and always use them when I cook in oven with those pans for a fast easy clean up. However, I recently received a new 13 X 18 sheet pan and did not have a larger mat for it so I was thrilled that the Artisan Cooking Supply mat fit it perfectly (see picture). We are throwing my parents a fiftieth anniversary party and have already started doing all the baking for the party plus with the holidays just around the corner this mat is a great time, money, and pan saver. Now that I have switched to nonstick skillets and have non stick baking mats for my pans, I no longer purchase parchment paper or non-stick spray. I love silicone mats because can cook whatever I want and my pans stay newer looking longer without having to scrub them like a mad woman.

Outback Steakhouse's Aussie Cheese Fries

I found this awesome copycat recipe on Diary of a Recipe Collector and have adapted it for my needs:

1 bag of Ore Ida “Simply” Olive Oil-Sea Salt Country Style Fries
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
5 slices bacon
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup to 1 cup good-quality Ranch or Honey Mustard dressing
salt and pepper

Heat oven to 425. Spread fries onto baking sheet with a silicone mat on it. Bake according to package directions. Cook bacon until crispy in skillet and chop. When fries are crispy, remove from oven, season with salt and pepper. Pile fries into the center of the pan. Top with shredded cheese and bacon. Put back in oven for another 3-5 minutes to melt cheese. Remove and top with green onions. Serve with dressing on the side.

Do You Enjoy Entertaining Outdoors?

9/26/2015

Melamine Dishes and Acrylic Glasses are Break-Resistant.

Acrylic is a good alternative to glass for outdoor use since it won't shatter dangerously like glass drinkware.

Melamine is a lightweight, durable, hard, and water-resistant plastic, making it a great choice for creating beautiful outdoor tableware.

We all entertain outdoors during the summer but as this season ends we often put away the outdoor furniture, the paper plates, and stay indoors. Well, my favorite season of the entire year is just getting started, Fall. It's perfect for outdoor parties and the weather is now cooler making it more comfortable to be outside. Plus as the leaves change you have a splendid backdrop for an evening with friends and family.

If you are like me you want your table to look fantastic whether you are serving a seven course meal or the perfect steak off the grill. I found a great site that has some beautiful choices in both melamine and acrylic choices that I'm sure will inspire you like it did me to think outside the dinning room for your next dinner party. What's your outdoor entertaining style? Check out Merritt Dinnerware | Home and Patio Decor and tell me what your favorites are. I love the form and colors their Turquoise Natural Elements Tableware and Rainbow Prism Tumbler Sets. Both of these sets will be on my Holiday Wish List for sure.
