All of our local schools participate in the Box Tops for Education program, as most around the country do. I always make sure to clip the box tops and place them in a container that I keep on my kitchen counter especially for them and then drop them off at the school on a regular basis. People would be amazed at the difference that the box tops can make in a school if we all worked together and turned in those box tops. With the start of school either already here or quickly approaching now is the perfect time to start saving those box tops.
While you´re out and about gathering up all of those much needed back-to-school supplies, be sure to stop at your local Kroger Family of Stores (which includes Kroger, Ralph´s, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith´s, Fry´s, QFC, Baker´s, Owen´s, Jay C Food Stores, Hilander, Gerbes, Food4Less, Pay Less Super Markets and Scott´s Food & Pharmacy) to take advantage of their “Add Up the Savings” Event and stock up on your favorite General Mills & Kimberly Clark brands From August 8 through August 21, when you buy 8 participating items from any Kroger store, you´ll receive $4 off of your purchase. Some of the great participating brands include: Cheerios, Yoplait Yogurt, Pillsbury Cookies & Biscuits, Kleenex, Huggies, Betty Crocker Brownies, Cottonelle, and Lucky Charms.
In addition to these great savings, be sure to take advantage of the special Bonus Box Tops Offers and get a jumpstart on helping the participating school of your choice this year. It’s a win-win situation for all involved!
All you have to do, if you haven´t already, is register at www.RewardYourSchool.com. Once you register, you will automatically receive 5 Bonus Box Tops just for signing up! You will also receive custom offers for Bonus Box Tops for purchasing participating products.

The offers you select will then load onto your Kroger Shopper Card to be redeemed once you purchase the items. It´s extra easy because there´s no clipping! Just remember to scan your Kroger Shopper Card and the Bonus Box Tops will automatically go straight the participating school of your choice.

I love it when I get to announce winners, it is more exciting that finding the best acne cream ever. I like seeing the surprise on your face when you hear you have won. Ok, so I don’t really get to SEE the surprise on your face, but I do imagine it. And I imagine you saying things like “Who me? I won?” or “OhMyGosh, I can’t believe I won”. You know, all those shocked, thrilled, statements when something totally unexpected happens.
And the winner of the Weight Watcher’s gift pack is…..

If you are like me you are constantly on the lookout for fun new games that your whole family will enjoy. We love the classics but sometimes we want something new and fresh from our usual. With the new line of Hasbro card games we can have both! And talk about fun, we have had a blast playing three of the new 2010 games that came out this Spring and are highly anticipating the release of the fourth this Fall. Many nights you will find us involved in a card or board game, it is what we love to do. We don’t really have an official Family Game Night since we actually celebrate it several times a week. However, we did join in the National Family Game Night last year and we plan to join in on the 2010 Family Game night. The date for 2010 will be Wednesday, September 29 when once again, Hasbro will encourage families across the U.S. to turn off the television and take a break from busy schedules to laugh and bond over classic family board games such as MONOPOLY, SORRY! and THE GAME OF LIFE.
According to a recent Hasbro survey, 42% of Americans said that they’ve laughed so hard when playing a board game that they’ve snorted! And 25% of Americans have even celebrated a big win with a flashy victory dance. Have you had any laugh out loud moments when playing games? Feel free to post your favorite moments on their Facebook page.
Hasbro has introduced a new line of card games that take a spin on traditional game for the second year in a row. By transforming the board games of SORRY!, YAHTZEE and TRIVIAL PURSUIT into “snackable” play formats and by adding the classic French racecar card game of MILLE BORNES to the line, Hasbro card games provide lasting entertainment whether on the go or for family game night.
The 2010 line-up includes:
SORRY! REVENGE…Take turns to play number and action cards to change the play pile’s total. Get the pile to 21 without going bust to get one of your pawn cards home. But watch out – someone could play a SORRY! Card and steal your win. Portable, playable, speedy SORRY! Fun for the whole family. SORRY! REVENGE can accommodate 2-6 players and is rated for ages 6 and up.
YAHTZEE HANDS DOWN…Keep your wits about you and your eyes on the cards. Ollect dice cards to make classic combinations – 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, small straight, large straight, full house and YAHTZEE! Re-roll by discarding cards that you don’t need and taking a chance on new ones. But here’s the twist…Pit your hand against another player’s. Score high and win the Combo card points! YAHTZEE HANDS DOWN can accommodate 2-6 players and is rated for ages 8 and up.
MILLES BORNES…Be the first to traverse 1,000 miles of imaginary road complete with flat tires, accidents and empty gas tanks. Avoid road hazards, but be sure to use them on your fellow racers to win! MILLES BORNES can accommodate 2-6 players and is rated for ages 6 and up.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT STEAL (available FALL 2010)…collect all six different category wedge cards by answering trivia questions correctly. Wild cards and wedge stealing make this trivia game action-packed and fun for everyone! TRIVIAL PURSUIT STEAL can accommodate 1 or more players and is rated for Adults.
The 2009 line-up of Hasbro card games is available in retailers nationwide and includes: MONOPOLY DEAL, SCRABBLE SLAM, LITTLEST PET SHOP GO FISH, ROOK and PICTUREKA!
At an approx. retail price of $6.99 these great new card games make for great family game nights and the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to go to New York for a preview of a new family friendly movie that will show on NBC on Friday July 16, 2010 at 8:00 EST/7:00 CST. It is such a fabulous movie! You may already be seeing the commercials announcing the movie, I know I am. My whole family can’t wait until the 16th. They have heard me rave about the movie so much.
“The Jensen Project” follows the overwhelming success of “Secrets of the Mountain”, if you haven’t seen that movie…you really should. These movies focus on providing quality entertainment that the whole family can enjoy without “the lunge”. What’s the lunge? Oh, you know…the lunge is where you have to lunge for the remote to change the channel or mute the TV really quick because of a non-family friendly scene or language.
Walmart and P&G have done a fabulous job through their commitment to deliver quality family programming. I am so thankful that they recognized this need and acted on it. We like watching movies as a family but there aren’t many out there without horrible language or some form of nudity and if they are family friendly, they are usually cartoons.
“The Jensen Project” has a thrilling and fun science fiction plot that focuses on the Thompson family, who are reintroduced to The Jensen Project – a secret community of geniuses conducting advanced underground research to solve the world’s most difficult problems. The family finds themselves forced into a frantic pursuit to keep a potentially dangerous technology from falling into the wrong hands. As the family races to stop the group’s rogue faction, they rediscover the importance of honesty, courage, and being there for one another.
My family is going to love all the technology, gadgets and gizmo’s that this movie offers. We are huge Sci-Fi buffs and this seriously appeals to our tastes. My favorite part? The plane ride. You will just have to watch it to see what I am talking about…I don’t want to post any spoilers. It is Laugh Out Loud Funny because it is so much like something my Tate would do/say.
I adore Kellie Martin(ER, Life Goes On) and was thrilled when I heard that she plays one of the leading characters in the movie. Also in the all-star line up is Brady Smith (ER, NCIS), Justin Kelly (Saving Grace, The Latest Buzz), Levar Burton (Star Trek, Roots), David Andrews (Hannibal, Terminator 3, Apollo 13,), Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement, West Wing), and Alyssa Diaz (Ben 10, CSI:NY).
I hope that you will all plan to tune in on July 16th to watch “The Jensen Project”. And to make it even more fun for 2 lucky readers…you can enter to win:
The Jensen Project Gift Pack!
Complete with a tote bag, calculator, popcorn, light-up ball, and a copy of “Secrets of the Mountain”
To Enter: Simply leave a comment. Some suggestions…Will you watch “The Jensen Project”? What do you think you will like most about this movie? Did you see “Secrets of the Mountain”?
All entries must be received by July 12th at 5PM EST. All entries must have a valid US mailing address. Winner will be selected via random drawing and will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail or another winner will be selected.

Walmart and P&G provided me with transportation to preview The Jensen Project and with a gift pack to enjoy. They are also providing the gift packs for this giveaway. This has in no affected my positive opinion of The Jensen Project. It is a great movie that families can enjoy watching together with a great cast and quality content. All opinions stated are those of my own and were in no way influenced by any outside source.
