Moms Love Movies and WB Loves Moms! DVD Giveaway

I love movies! I always have well before I was a Mom. My own Mom has even said she has not really seen a whole movie since someone always needed something or there was a task to be done while we all kicked back and enjoyed a movie. I always chuckled about it as a teenager and young adult as if she was exaggerating. Well now that I am a Mom oh my I know she was so right about that one!

There has been many movies we had to re-rent or rewind (do they still call it rewind? lol) due to me having to do something during a movie. This year to celebrate Mother's Day the WB has decided to giveaway a 4 pack of movies to one lucky reader. Maybe now that you have these classic movies on DVD and Blu-Ray there will be hope to be able to see the whole thing!

The Bodyguard is a good movie! I remember watching this as a teenager. We have a family joke about Kevin Costner, we refer to him as Uncle Kevin although there is no relation what so ever, long story thats funny and we will share it one of these times. Its bitter sweet to watch it since Whitney Houston's passing. But still a great story.

 

I liked New Year's Eve when my husband and I watched it together. I love the type of movies that have a bunch of characters all living life among each other without knowing how they effect one another and how it all unfolds at the end. This is a cute one. One of my favorite parts is how there are two couples at one hospital trying to have their baby be the one born first for the New Year.

I have not watched Joyful Noise but it is now on my list of movies to watch since I love Queen Latifah movies.

 

I have never heard of Don Juan De Marco, but since Johnny Depp is in it I have to add this one too on my movies to watch list.

Healthy Snacks Can Be Delicious

I spend a lot of time with my grandchildren. I am lucky to be able to do this because so many families live far apart from each other. So of course we all love to eat, and sharing food made with love and care is part of being a family.

I gave my daughter Sam a copy of the book "Deceptively Delicious" awhile back and we both think it's filled with great ideas to get your children to eat healthier, sometimes without them even knowing about it!
I love giving the kids treats (as all grandmothers do!) but I also want them to be eating healthy foods that will nourish them and help them grow.

One of my favorite recipes from this book is for pita pizza. The secret to making it so healthy is to use whole-wheat pita pockets and a layer of spinach puree underneath the tomato sauce. It all deliciously bakes together and the kids don't even know they are eating spinach. Yes, this is a little "deceptive" but most kids don't like eating spinach, and it is so good for them. The kids love eating these  pita pizzas and so do I.

Eating healthier is so important for kids, and I'm happy to provide snacks that they love and are good for them.

Gourmet Brownies from Gourmet Gift Baskets Review and Giveaway

For Mother's Day I like to have treats of all sorts. I try not to have too many during the winter holidays since there are so many other rich dinners and snacks but for Mother's Day its a one day thing and its all about ME! I told my husband I want goodies and candy. So he doesnt have to cook and bake anything I told him to look online for treats. We can pick out something great and have it shipped to the house.

Gourmet Gift Baskets is a place we enjoy getting treats from. Recently we discovered they carry Baked Goods in addition to the great gift baskets. We tried a Brownie Sampler of 6 flavors. I love brownies so I was looking forward to trying the flavors. I tend to always pick a super chocolate flavor and I have been wanting to try some new flavors. I knew I would love the Cheesecake one, it was awesome! The chocolaty ones Belgian Chocolate Chunk and Fudge Walnut were rich and delicious. My son loved the Peanut Butter one and I liked the little bite I managed to get him to share with me. Peanut Butter and Chocolate are always a great combo. The two I was impressed the most with were the Blondies. I have only tried Blonde Brownies one or two times many years ago without much thought. But these ones oh wow were good! The Butterscotch Blonde was soooooo good! My son the chocolate hound even loved them. I had to baragin with him to share a bite of the White Chocolate Macadamia Blonde. He grabbed it and ran off with it. He could not open it so I told him Mommy will open it if she can have a bite lol. I really enjoyed the Blondies so much more than I would have thought. That is a great reason to buy a Sampler of a product since you might discover a flavor you might not have. 

The Brownie Sampler Includes:


·         Belgian Chocolate Chunk

·         White Chocolate Macadamia Blonde

·         Butterscotch Blonde

·         Cheesecake

·         Peanut Butter

·         Fudge Walnut

He is offering you one! :)

Gourmet Gift Baskets has other Baked Goodies too. There is Cheesecake ( looks so good!) and Carrot Cake ( I get that one my bday every year) and a Cookie Sampler.

You get the chance to try a Brownie Sampler like we did by entering our giveaway.

We are having a fast giveaway on this one! This will be a 3 day giveaway entry time. A Flash Giveaway as its called. It will be ending on the April 28th at midnight.

My Son Calls Me Mom, What Happen to Mama?

My son's hair is getting longer and I know the summer heat will be here soon. He needs to get it cut again, I just find it so hard to cut those sweet little curls that grow. He is getting so big and says so much more everyday. He even called me Mom, I was a little taken back since I am Mama or Mommy. For him to call me Mom was weird. So grown up! He even picked out clothing he wanted at the store and told me no no to certain ones. There is a big boy living here now and I feel like he was just an infant a short time ago. Like all parent say but you dont believe it  until you have your own kids, they really do grow up so fast.

I just want him to go back to calling me Mama and wait until hes like 10 to call me Mom. lol
