The Help
Posted by: | Comments
Introducing The Help
The Help has become one of the most captivating and talked about books in years. Dream Works Studios, Participant Media and Touchstone Pictures are going one step further and making Kathryn Stockett’s best-selling book a movie. For the past 60 weeks, The Help
The Help shows what happens when a southern town’s unspoken code of rules is shattered by 3 courageous women who become fast friends.
Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, the film features Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives—and a small Mississippi town—upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, is the first to open up—to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories—and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges—but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly—and unwillingly—caught up in the changing times.

Introducing Breyers Smooth And Dreamy Ice Cream
From Breyers:
Bars and Sandwiches that are so delicious and indulgent, you’ll be amazed that
they have less fat and calories than regular ice cream bars and sandwiches. That’s
right, flash that big happy smile because we’re bringing back the joy!
Our Thoughts
As a self professed ice cream addict, I’ve had a hard time finding an ice cream that tastes great but doesn’t immediately go to the rear. So an ice cream that combines great flavors with smooth Breyers ice cream and has less calories is a huge plus. Right now I’m working on lowering calorie intake and working out more. Breyers has come up with the perfect solution for me. Each Smooth and Dreamy ice cream bar or sandwich is 160 calories or less. This is a huge difference from the two scoops of ice cream that run 260 calories or more. I chose to pick up the vanilla fudge brownie sandwich and the triple chocolate bar. OH MY heavens. I was skeptical at first. I mean low fat/low sugar/low calorie ice cream is usually pretty tasteless or overly gritty. The Breyers smooth and dreamy really are smooth and full of flavor. Steve even pulled out one of the vanilla fudge brownie sandwiches and remarked at how tasteful they are. The triple chocolate bar was delicious, however it seemed to melt awfully fast. It may have just been the fact that our house has been on the warmer side or that I was trying to savor it a little more.

Introducing Klutz Glossy Bands
About Glossy Bands: Stretchy Bracelets to Share with Your Friends
Amazing bracelets you squeeze out of a tube. When we first showed Glossy Bands to girls, it was clear we had a winner. They put the bracelets on and admired the colorful designs. They stretched the bracelets to take them off and watched as they shrank back to their original size. They put the bracelets back on, and that’s when things got sticky. Clearly, we were not going to get these bracelets back. Glossy Bands start as a special, non-toxic, acrylic paint. To make one, simply squeeze out dots of color following one of the patterns in the book. Then use the swirling stick to mix the color into fancy designs. Once it’s dry, peel your bracelet up and wrap it around your wrist. You’ve made your first Glossy Band: a beautiful, durable, completely wearable work of art. Chances are good that you’ve never seen anything quite like a Glossy Band. We think this book is going to change that. Once word gets around how easy it is to make these deliciously shiny, irresistibly stretchy bracelets, you’re going to start seeing them everywhere.
Our Thoughts
I love Klutz because there is always something new and crafty to do. So I was excited to see the Klutz Glossy Bands. As a kid we used to play with puffy paint and make all kinds of shirts. I can vividly remember my cousin and I trying to do shirts on the back deck. We couldn’t get the paints open so my cousin set the paint on the ground and stomped as hard as she could. Imagine my parents surprise when they found pink and orange puffy paint all over the back of the house.

Our Thoughts
As Rachael and I have allergies, its hard to find skin products that don’t make us break out. While on vacation the kids decided to have a camp out. The only problems is all the bugs. The good news is we had brought along the Herbal Armor Spray. A light spray on all of us and the opening of the tent left us bug bite free for the entire vacation. We also used the TerraSport Spray sunblock. I love the spray because the kids don’t fight with me to put it on. A quick spray and they are protected. The TerraSport Spray comes in 30 and 15 SPF. Making it easy to choose which level of protection is best for your family. With the fair Irish skin in this house we chose to go with the 30 SPF and not a single red spot. Read More→
