For my friends who live outside the reach of the Southern grocery giant, Publix, I had to pass on their new Thanksgiving commercial. I’m not getting paid or even asked to do so but it makes me cry every time and I just had to share. Thanksgiving is not about a meal, but rather it’s […]

Five things that surprised me about @BJsWholesale Club #BJsHoliday
I attended a holiday preview event at BJ’s and received some products and a giftcard for my participation. All opinions are my own. I had never stepped foot inside a BJ’s Wholesale Club before this week. Sure I have a big family and we eat (a lot) but I don’t belong to a wholesale club […]

Milk myths debunked by @hphood
My friends at Hood sent me some coupons for Hood milk so I could taste their product for myself. My opinions weren’t swayed but more than one cookie was dunked in the process of this review. Hood, one of the largest branded dairy operators in the US has been around since 1846. But it took […]
Win a family movie and dinner night with #Freebirds and @ChuckECheese
