Last Night At Disney World

We are back!

I haven’t updated on my blog in awhile for very good reason.  We just returned from a very magical time in Orlando Florida for the Disney Social Media Moms Conference.  I will be posting more about our trip in the weeks to come, but wanted to stop in and let you all know that I am still amongst the living.

We got back today and we are all happily exhausted.  Disney World is something  right out of a fairytale and even though you have to go home at some point, you hate leaving.  It’s hard to have a bad day when you are in the Magical Kingdom!

I am looking forward to going back…we had such a wonderful time.

What’s a Superbowl?

Another conversation with one of my three year olds and their daddy.

Daddy:  Tomorrow is the Superbowl!

Bubby:  It is?

Daddy: Yes, do you know what the Superbowl is?

Bubby:  Well does the Superbowl have cereal in it?

They say the darndest things!  LOL…I will always remember this one, every time we watch a Superbowl.

Three Year Olds Have All The Answers

The conversation went something like this:

“Mommy is it Summer?”

Me:  “No honey it’s winter”

“Can we put the pool in the backyard?”

Me:  Well when it’s Summer and the sun is shining and it’s hot enough outside we can set up the pool, it is warm in Florida and we will be leaving to go there on an airplane soon”

“We can put the pool in the back of the car and take it to Florida Mommy”

It is so funny how simple their answers are.  Makes sense to me  LOL.  Let’s hope he doesn’t notice the pool isn’t coming with us!

In honor of our upcoming trip to Disney World, my husband and I decided to draw Mickey for you all.  We were actually sitting down drawing with he boys and got in a silent but understood competition.  Can you guess which one is which?  Ill get in trouble for this post  LOL.  But this is fun! And the boys added their touch.

I’m A Frigidaire Test Drive Mom!

I was recently given a wonderful opportunity by Mom Central and the folks at Frigidaire. I am giddy with excitement to tell you, that I am a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom.  I am a proud member of Team Fridge. What does this mean?  Next month a pretty, new stainless steel professional line fridge from Frigidaire will be showing up at our house and I couldn’t be more excited.  I cannot tell you how many times I have drooled over them in the stores and now  I can hardly wait!!!!  Being a stay at home mom, makes getting a new appliance, a major excitement, because it is something I use every single day.

As part of this wonderful opportunity, I will be testing this fancy schmancy new fridge and reporting back to my readers on my findings and writing about my love affair with my new fridge (it could be better than Twilight *maybe*).  I am particularly interested in how this fridge compares to our current one.  Our fridge is only 7 years old, but things are starting to fall off !  I will be looking at things like temperature control, easy of use, how easy it is to clean, and maximum storage capabilities (we all know how stuffed a freezer can get).  I already whine about my current freezer, because the less I have to run down to the basement to the other freezer the better.

I am very excited and will be giving this fridge a rigorous mommy workout!  I can’t wait to share my thoughts.  Take a look at how pretty it is! Oh, and I can so see my Ben and Jerry’s sitting in my new freezer!

About Frigidaire

In 2009 Frigidaire introduced more than 250 new appliances , all designed with the idea of creating more time for us Moms. Standing behind its claim, Frigidaire offers a “More Me-Time Guarantee.” Moms will save a minimum of eight hours a month or their money back!

In addition, Frigidaire announced a new partnership in September with actress and philanthropist, Jennifer Garner.  The pair teamed up to launch the new Frigidaire line and to kick off the “Make Time for Change” campaign to support Save the Children.

Thier newest campaign to support Save the Children, called Spin & Win. Started January 18th. Guests can go to www.maketimeforchange.com to play Spin & Win for their chance to win prizes including a new time-saving Frigidaire Affinity washer/dryer! Plus every day you take a spin, Frigidaire donates $1 to Save the Children as part of their $250,000 commitment.  I cannot think of a better way to support a wonderful cause and have fun doing it.

I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with all of you, so keep your eyes peeled for new posts about our new fridge from Frigidaire!

“I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive Campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Frigidaire and received a Frigidaire Refrigerator to facilitate my review.”

Apple Ipad Yeah I want one

Have you seen the Apple Ipad?   I am amazed at what this thing can do!   The price tag on this puppy is pretty hefty however, and I don’t see this poor mama owning one any time soon.  My husband is a little anti-apple in this house but if I had my way I would own, the Ipod, the Itouch, the Iphone and the Ipad.

One of the more stunning features is it’s e-book capability.  I have drooled over the Kindle, and finally own a Sony reader, and just watching the videos of the Ipad blows both of these away!  The graphics are absolutely stunning and when you turn a page, it looks like a real book!

I love gadgets like the Ipad, and I love having something, that is small, that I can bring along with me, and sort of does everything.  This is the first generation, hot off the assembly line for Apple, and I think it can only get better from here!  Although it is not without it’s critics and skepticism, I think the nay sayers are just jealous.  And even though my husband isn’t a fan of apple, the stuff they come up with is impressive. All eyes are on Apple for awhile, I am anxious to see what’s next!

Mischievous

Disney World Bound

In just two short weeks, me and the fam will be heading to Orlando to Disney World for a much needed trip away from this wintery, dreary place.  I have another purpose and it’s to attend the Disney Moms Social Media Conference.  I am over the moon excited that the boys are making their first ever trip to Disney World and we get to do some pretty amazing things.

I am honored to be attending this wonderful event and get the chance to be in the presence of Maxine Clark, the founder of Build-A-Bear, and Guy Kawasaki, just to name a few.  We will be attending some fabulous dinners together as a family with lots of media in attendance.  And a private dance party and dinner at Hollywood Studios at Toy Story Mania.  To top it all off on an already wonderful trip, me and my family are getting 7 day park hoppers, and 3 nights at the polynesian.  We have decided to extend our stay and we can’t wait!

I ready for a little sun, and some magical fun.  I cannot begin to say how excited I am!!!

How Wheat Works Do you know?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.

We often take for granted how easy it is to serve up a meal, or grab a loaf of bread from the grocery store.  But have you ever delved into the thought process of how our favorite foods are made and brought to our local grocery store?  I was always intrigued by how we get the wheat that makes our bread.  I have driven by many fields of wheat blowing in the wind, but I am totally clueless about how they get it from the field to our table.

There is a really neat site called How Wheat Works that is designed to answer the very question I have.  How Wheat Works is cool online experience that provides a  farm-to-fork education on wheat.  It shows you the amazing transformation from the time the wheat is planted to when it arrives on your plate as bread, or other common foods with wheat.  You will get to plant, harvest, mill and even bake up the product you picked.

And for each person that completes this fun and educational program, The Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour to OperationHomefront.net. This non-profit organization provides help to needy US troops and their families.  I cannot think of a better incentive to see just How Wheat Works, and in the process of becoming educated, you can help families in need!  They are also extending this wonderful program  to the youth through www.wheatfoods.org. I encourage you to check out How Wheat Works, and this is also a fun way to get kids involved and teach them about where their food comes from.
