OK I JUST CRIED AND NOW I FEEL SILLY!!!


Every weekend, ABC Family plays some sort of movie weekend. This weekend is Harry Potter weekend.

I just watched Goblet of Fire.

As I wrote not too long ago, I am really into the Twilight Series now.

I have read all the Twilight books, and seen the two movies that are already out.

I have also read all the Harry Potter books, and seen all the movies so far.

Up until about a week ago, I did not know that Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter, is played by none other then Robert Pattinson, AKA Edward Cullen, AKA My New Boyfriend!!!

So when they played the movie today, I saw it differently (as I always do when I realize that a character is someone I recognize from something else)

I just watched in horror as Wormtail killed my man!!

I actually teared up!!

I am pathetic, I know!!!

That's ok, I like him better in Twilight. He is already dead (technically) but is still very cute and for the most part acts human!!!!

I also realized while watching the movies that the man who plays Carlise Cullen (Edwards sort of Dad) is the guy who played Mike in Cant Hardly Wait. That was a teenage movie that came out in the late 90's.

It's really funny how it takes me awhile, but I can always figure out why I know so and so from this movie as he/she played so and so from that movie!!!

Lol does that make sense?????

COUNTRY BOBS ALL PURPOSE SAUCE REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~





For anyone who is a blogger, you have probably seen someone reviewing Country Bob's Sauce.

All the reviews I have ever read were really positive, saying the sauce was excellent.


So of course, I had to try it too!!!


I was sent two bottles of the All Purpose Sauce.


According to the website, there are MANY things you can do with the sauce.


Our first experiment was with something easy. We cooked hamburgers with the sauce.


Oh my was it GOOD!!! I am not a big BBQ sauce fan, but this sauce is soooooo much better.


It does taste similar to BBQ sauce, but it isn't as strong.


Once we ate the burgers, we decided to try it with other things.


The next night we grilled chicken with it, and it was just as yummy!!


The following night was pork chops. Again, YUM YUM YUMMY!!!


So far I haven't found a single food item that it doesn't taste good with.


Country Bob's also has other items besides the all purpose sauce-

~Spicy All Purpose Sauce

~BBQ Sauce




~Seasoning Salt


They even have hats to show your Bob Support!!!!



"About Us

How does anything really good get its start? Where do great products come from? Usually they are the result of much time being exerted and a tremendous amount of love being invested.At that point you can say, "That's mine! I made that." That's the way Country Bob Edson created his All Purpose Sauce.
Country Bob Edson


In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving the sauce to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming just as it is today. Almost everyone who tries Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user. And why not, it is the perfect complement to practically any meal set on your table.

It was actually October of 1982 when Country Bob, Inc. became the company, which remains today. Bob Edson,Terry Edson, Al Malekovic and Reed Malekovic formed a corporation with equal ownership. Since that time Country Bob's distribution has magnified regionally in all directions from our corporate office located in Centralia, Illinois. Even with the tremendous growth we have not forgotten where we came from, continuing in our relentless pursuit of product excellence.

Along with our All Purpose Sauce we have expanded our product line to include BBQ Sauce, Seasoning Salt and Spicy All Purpose Sauce.With our fully automated bottling line we also have the capability of producing Private Label products for stores or restaurants.

It would be nice if we could claim responsibility for the success of the company, however, credit must be given where credit is due. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." We have placed true ownership of Country Bob, Inc. in the hands of God. "Christ is our CEO" and He is an Awesome Boss!"


My Husband, Kids and I greatly enjoyed the sauce. The two bottles we were sent are already gone!!!!

I am very excited to be able to offer one lucky reader a chance to get TWO bottles of the All Purpose Sauce.


I bet you will love it too!!!

QUICKSAND by MARILYN RANDALL REVIEW


I have to admit, that at first I did NOT like this book. The opening chapter is all about a women named Natalie, and how her Husband Jeff, is dieing from Cancer.

The first chapter really bothered me, with its specifics of what the poor man and Natalie were going through.

Once the second chapter started, the story told was a nice love story between two people.

Natalie meets a man named Randy online, and grows to love him through their many talks.

Soon they get to meet in person, and the love truly blooms.

Unfortunately they have their share of problems. See Natalie is a 63 year old White Women, and Randy is a 53 year old Black Man.

They go through alot of racial problems involving strangers and even their friends and neighbors.

This is a heroic tale in the love sense. They overcome alot to prove their love for each other.

I didn't quite expect the ending, but it was well written.

Marilyn Randall adds alot of poetry to this book, which really adds to the feel of love.

I think she is a very gifted writer, and I really did enjoy this book.




EVORA PLUS REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~



I have read alot of different Blogger reviews about Evora Plus, and they were all positive.

I was glad when I was given the opportunity to try these mints and give my review.

I have been using them for the past three weeks, and I love the taste!!!

They have a very subtle mint taste to them. Not over bearing.

They have helped to Freshen my breath, and the freshness lasts for hours.

I have noticed a little whitening too. Not alot, but that could be because I am an avid Caffeine drinker, and NOTHING whitens those stains, unless you stop drinking it!!!

"What is EvoraPlus?

EvoraPlus™ is a unique probiotic mint that contains the patented beneficial bacteria blend, ProBiora3™. EvoraPlus™ represents a whole new level of oral care, one in which good oral health is supported and maintained with good bacteria – just the way nature intended.

EvoraPlus™ is a revolutionary new application of probiotics, which have traditionally been used to support digestive and immune health. EvoraPlus™ is the first probiotic mint specifically designed for complete oral care. This all-in-one product supports gum and tooth health and naturally freshens breath while gently whitening teeth.

Research has shown that of the more than 500 strains of bacteria found in the human mouth, only a few are known to cause harm to the teeth and gums, and a few more are known to help maintain oral health. Many situations – including eating a diet high in sugar and other processed carbohydrates – cause these oral bacteria to become out of balance. After we eat sugars and processed carbohydrates, the opportunistic bacteria convert the carbohydrates and create the by-product lactic acid, which erodes the tooth’s protective enamel and affects the dentin within the tooth.

Daily use of EvoraPlus™ is a fast, easy and effective way to naturally promote oral health and economically replace mouthwashes, tooth whiteners and breath fresheners.

Within 30 days of using EvoraPlus™ twice daily, the natural healthy oral balance of good bacteria will be greatly restored and you will begin to notice a whiter, brighter smile and long-lasting fresh breath.

How EvoraPlus Probiotics WorksWhen EvoraPlus™ melts on the tongue, the freeze-dried probiotics activate and attach themselves to the teeth and gum tissue, establishing colonies of live, active beneficial bacteria both on the surface of the teeth and deep beneath the gum line. These colonies compete for both nutrients and space with the harmful oral bacteria that disrupt gum and tooth health, as well as cause bad breath.

In the mouth, the harmful bacteria convert sugar and carbohydrates into lactic acid. Lactic acid is the bacterial by-product which is responsible for a decline in dental health. The Standard American Diet promotes the ongoing conversion to lactic acid by providing a constant source of simple carbohydrates for bacterial cell growth, thus creating a situation for even greater imbalance in oral micro flora.

With daily replenishment, the ProBiora3™ beneficial bacteria used in EvoraPlus™ helps to reestablish the natural microbial balance in the mouth for healthy gums and teeth, fresher breath and whiter teeth. "


Evora Plus also comes in a child form called Evora Kids.

I am always worried that even though my son brushes his teeth everyday, that he might not be getting everything he should from brushing.

I bought a package of the Evora Kids mints to add to his routine.

He loves them!! He says they taste yummy, and he asks for more then 1 each time he gets them!!!



"Finally! A product that not only tastes GREAT, but can also reach where toothbrushes and floss can’t... for brighter, happier smiles! EvoraKids™ is a tasty, fun new product that includes the ProBiora3 blend of probiotics specifically formulated to meet the unique oral care needs of children. Kids have very special oral care needs – that’s why Oragenics created EvoraKids™, the first probiotic oral care product designed specifically for children.

Just as it’s important to keep a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, it’s also important to keep a healthy balance of friendly bacteria in your kid’s mouths.

Harmful oral bacteria thrives on a diet high in refined carbohydrates , making your child’s mouth the ideal place for these harmful bacteria to settle in and wreak havoc.

EvoraKids™ reaches where toothbrushes and floss can’t – into the crevices on the pits and fissures in the chewing surfaces of teeth. Because it’s difficult to know how well your children are brushing their teeth, the simple step of treating them to EvoraKids™, with its Wild Very Cherry Berry blast of flavor, will give you peace of mind that you have taken the extra step needed ensure happier smiles.

EvoraKids™ is 100% natural and GMO free, with no artificial colors or flavors or sweeteners. It’s sugar, gluten, soy and dairy free."


The only thing I wish would change is the packaging. The mints come in a sheet of 15 mints, like allergy pills would come.

It makes it very hard to take the mints with you. I would love it, if they came in a container like gum or tic tacs.

Other wise I really loved these, and I will be ordering more!!

I am very excited that I am able to offer one lucky reader a 30 day supply to try for themselves.

I would love to hear how you liked them!!

SAND GONE REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~




When I first saw a web page about this product, I thought, What a great idea!!!

I love the beach. So does my Family, but I HATE leaving covered in sand and yuck.

We live about 3 hours from Old Orchard Beach in Maine. We love to head up there each year for a day or two.

Last year we took the boys camping up in Bar Harbor. They loved it, but like me they hated the sand stuck in your toes, and on your thighs.

Usually when we go up to Old Orchard, it is only for a day, and when you have to drive home with sand ALL OVER you for three hours, it is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!!

So last week, we took a drive up, and I brought my jar of Sand Gone.

I absolutely love the smell. It has a mild coconut scent, but not too overpowering like sun screen has.

After we finished our fun in the sun, and were covered in sand, we went back to the car and tried the powder on our toes.

Wow did it work. At first it felt a little funny, and with ticklish toes, it took a little effort to apply, but it did remove the sand, and made my feet feel alot fresher.

This past trip, we only got to try it on our toes. It was WAY TOO COLD to go without pants on, but we will be going back the end of June, and my Sand Gone will be with us!!

Here is a little information about Sand Gone, and it's founder Tiffany Smith-

"Founded by housewife, mother, and entrepreneur Tiffany Smith, who also invented SAND GONE, her company is officially launching this month in central Florida, with the aim of going national over the next several months.

Tiffany also reminds people that SAND GONE is not only non-toxic and non-talc, and easy to apply and use, but also smells good, feels good, is inexpensive and does a thorough, wonderful job each and every time. "It makes the ride home from the beach as clean and comfortable as the ride there." She adds, "I want my invention to become one of those must-haves at the beach or at any sandlot in the park. You will know to bring your sunblock and shades...but also your SAND GONE"



"I am a Mother of two children and our family spends alot of time at the beach. This means I've seen alot of sand.

After years of cleaning sandy children, I discovered a little trick to remove sand without using water. After a few more years of improving the ingrediants I perfected an all natural, non-toxic powder.

When the powder is brushed on sandy parts of the body the sand just falls off. Your skin feels silky and clean without feeling wet or scratchy.

By adding a hint of coconut, it gives you that beachy smell. I gaurantee you will fall in love with the product.

A must for beachgoers!"


I am very impressed with this product, and plan on bringing it with me when ever we hit the beach!!!

I am so glad that I got to try this, and now one of you to do!!!

Tiffany has generously offered one of my readers One 8oz Jar to try for their own.


Trust me, you will love this.

I should be on here at some point this weekend, but just incase, Have a GREAT weekend all!!!




TOTALLY TWISTED THURSDAY

OK, today's post isn't funny. It is UNBELIEVABLE. Last night my small town was hit by what some are calling THREE TORNADO'S!!!!

Trees are down everywhere. They were pulled up by the roots. I had to work today, and it was quite entertaining sorting mail by flashlight. We had no power in the building (and its set up like a warehouse) It was a LONG DAY!!!

Here are some photos. Luckily our house was fine. We did have a tree at the end of our driveway that was dead. We cut it down a couple weeks ago and BOY AM I GLAD!!!


By CBS 3 Springfield News
Story Published: May 27, 2010 at 6:36 PM EDT

(Story Updated: May 27, 2010 at 7:00 PM EDT )
There was a state of emergency in Greenfield Thursday. 70mph winds from last night's storm literally ripped a giant tree up by its roots and sent it crashing down onto a house.

Across town, Richard Shortell woke up to find his car buried underneath downed branches and trees.

Shortell says "I've never seen a storm like this."

He's not the only one. Angela McCarthy and her family spent the day chain-sawing downed tree limbs that came crashing into their yard last night.

McCarthy says "The thunder started going, the lightning started going and then the wind gust really started going crazy. It was so hot we had all of our windows open. Any small trinkets near the windows and the curtains were flying and rain was coming in."

Thousands in the town remained without power Thursday and Greenfield officials say it may take until the weekend to restore it to every home. Today the town closed all public schools and asked everyone to stay indoors. It was hard to get around, fallen trees, downed power lines and utility poles blocked many roads.

Greenfield Deputy Fire Chief, Robert Strahan says "At the height of it we had 30 to 35 roads that were closed. As of right now the number is still around 25 to 30."

Resident's say it's the worst storm they've seen in years. Maybe, ever.

Shortell says "I'm not a weather person but I would say we must of have had some of tornado to twist the trees and just snap them off."

The Greenfield Fire Department says the only injury occurred when a tree fell onto a camper in a mobile home park. That person is said to be stable condition.

GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~



I was very excited to get in touch with Kristen about doing a review of Green Mountain Coffee.

I was born in Vermont, and since Adult hood, have LOVED Green Mountain Coffee.

Kristen sent me the Seasonal Fair Trade Island Coconut!!

All I can say is YUMMY!!! The coffee has the right amount of Coconut flavor. I drank it and imagined being back in the Bahamas!!!

"Indulge your senses with this delightfully fragrant, tropical taste treat.

We've captured the lush aroma of freshly grated coconut — fruity, fresh, exotic — and blended it with the subtle sweetness of a lightly-roasted, Central American coffee. The result is as refreshing as it is unexpected."





One of the things I love the most about Green Mountain Coffee Company (besides the unbelievable taste!!!) is their commitment to help the environment


"Protecting the Environment-

Protecting the environment and reducing our environmental footprint are central to our mission and our business model. Indeed, we all depend on the earth for life. This is true in places where coffee is grown, like Indonesia, Guatemala, and Rwanda. It is true in China, where our Keurig Brewers are manufactured. And it’s true at our headquarters in Vermont, our production and distribution facilities across the country, and in any of the thousands of locations where our products are sold.

Waste reduction and responsible energy use have been two of our top priorities from the beginning:

In 1983, with just seven employees, we began composting in our retail coffee shops.

In 1984, an informal group of employees began taking on environmental projects and implementing solutions, including a recycling program.

In 1989, we formally recognized this passion with the creation of an employee Environmental Committee, which led to the development of oxygen-whitened and dioxin-free Earth-Friendly™ Coffee Filters.

In 1996 and 1997, the Environmental Committee was also instrumental in developing the first biodegradable coffee bag for bulk purchases, an achievement recognized by the 3M Corporation when it awarded us its Scotchban Innovation USA Paper Award.

In 1999, we installed the first phase of our electricity co-generation system in our production plant.

In 2002, we conducted an informal company-wide internal environmental assessment.

In 2003, we began our greenhouse gas (GHG) offset program by estimating and offsetting emissions from our roasting and general operations.

In 2004, we expanded our GHG offset program by defining a more complete set of operations (which included fleet, business and commuter travel), estimating related emissions, and fully offsetting them.

In 2006, we introduced the ecotainer™, the world’s first to-go cup for hot beverages made with renewable materials.

In 2007, we opened a 10,000 gallon biodiesel fueling station at our Waterbury, VT, distribution center and introduced new packaging for our Newman’s Own® Organics coffees, made with 19% renewable materials.

In 2008, we commissioned a life-cycle analysis of our three main package types in order to help us quantify their environmental impact and focus our environmental improvement efforts most effectively."


Green Mountain Coffee has their own Cafe Express FREE service, for those of us who drink coffee religiously!!!

TENDER TUESDAY WEEK 1

Last week was the last week for my Trivia Tuesday game. I had alot of fun playing it (I hope you all did too)

For the next couple weeks (depending on all of you) I am going to try what I like to call Tender Tuesday.


Each Tuesday, I am going to post a picture of something involving my Family, that I think shows true and tender love!!!


I am going to include a Linky so everyone who wants to post their own picture post can.

I would LOVE to see all the pictures, and see what everyones Loves are!!!!


The picture I am posting this week is of My Husband and I on our Wedding Day. We had MANY pictures taken (according to some bridesmaids TOO many!!!) but this has always been my ultimate favorite.


We got married in Burlington Vermont on September 20th 2003 at my Families Church. We then had our Reception at the Radisson Hotel right on the lake.


Of course, we had Hurricane Isabel to deal with!!! Luckily she blew out before our ceremony, but she left a fog covering the lake.


This picture was not doctored at all. This is how it looked that day. I absolutely love it!!! My Husband and I were sooooooo happy!!!! (still are by the way!!!!)






Make Me Laugh Monday (ON TUESDAY SORRY!!) 5/25/10

As many of you know, I am a Mail Carrier for the Good old Postal Service.

Recently, the Post Office is claiming that they are hurting for money and they need to do some cut backs.

They are offering early retirement to force people out now.

In the retirees places, they are hiring younger workers and paying them considerably less.

I think this may be a tad criminal!!


UPS is ALOT worse!!!!

I AM A VERY BAD BLOGGER!!!

OK, I know I have been away, and I AM VERY BAD FOR DOING SO!!! Friday and Saturday I had to work, and then Sunday my Husband gave me an awesome present. He let me be alone all day (no Husband, Kids or Dog!!!) and READ!!!! It was the best day I have had for alone time in ALONG TIME!!!!

I got to sit down and read all four of the Twilight Books!!!!!

Now I probably should have been working (I do have a home to run and I am VERY behind on posting and emails) but I just needed a break!!!

Of course when all was said and done, my eyes felt like they were falling out of my head for reading SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH (each book is 500 pages or more) but I couldn't put them down!!!

I plan on writing reviews of the first two books in the next couple days, and the other two after each movie comes out (I know some people don't want spoilers, so I can wait)

I do have to say that for anyone that has already read all the books, Breaking Dawn in the beginning, really bothered me ALOT!!!!

So that explains my lack of posts over the weekend. Yesterday, I had to catch up on Home work (LOL) so I didn't get on here much.

Make Me Laugh Monday will come today (sorry) and I have some new things in the works for Tuesdays and Wednesdays!!! I hope you like them.

Please don't forget my current giveaways, and I have another one coming up today!!!!

Thank you all for understanding!!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend too!!!

FRIENDLY FRIDAY FOLLOW


I was very sad to hear that Friday Follow was coming to an end. I gained alot of new friends because of it.

I am pleased to announce that my friend Xenia at
Thanks, Mail Carrier (she loves me, and thanks me all the time!!! LOL) has taken the reigns!!

Xenia and two others (Christi from The Frugal Novice, and Charla from Healthy Home Blog)have taken over and come up with Friendly Friday!!!

So far things are going well (over 170 link ups so far)

I hope this helps to fill the hole left by Lynn and Rita!!!!

Enjoy guys!!!





I AM HOPING THIS IS SMOOTH.......

I have crossed the dark side again!!! I am now a dot com!!!! I think it looks more professional to not be a .blogspot.com

As some of you well know, comments disappear for a little while. I did the switch right now, so that they should come back before some of the giveaways end!!!!

Thank you all for being patient!!!

Hopefully everything will go smoothly!!!!!

P.s. If you want, you can always email me for the time being!!!!
