Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
As a kid I always enjoyed getting new movies for Christmas. Just in time for the holidays, Disney-Pixar’s Brave is coming out on DVD and Blu-ray on November 13. A breathtaking adventure that has entertained audiences of all ages, the stunning Blu-ray release of Brave includes hours of all new bonus material, extraordinary behind the scenes features, extended and deleted scenes, a mysterious and exciting, new short film, ‘The Legend of Mor’du,” and much more.
As we prepare for Thanksgiving, a lot of fuss will be made over the turkey and dressing (or stuffing), but what about all the sides? Without sides the meal just wouldn’t be complete, would it? This Thanksgiving fill your table with vegetable sides, made using Country Crock.

The Crock Country Chronicle In The Kitchen always has great recipes, veggie tips, and other fun ideas, and they have some side dishes that will steal the show this Thanksgiving!
Today I’ve got a fantastic side dish that I made this week using Country Crock: Au Gratin Potatoes. [Read more…]

I normally think of sunflowers as a summer flower. I remember walking through my aunt and uncle’s garden when I was a kid. They had beautiful rows of sunflowers and was just amazed by their size and look. Today I’m taking this summer flower and mixing it with some other fall elements to create beautiful fall sunflower wreath. And to add even more warmth to these bright fall colors, this wreath is lighted with LED lights from Christmas Lights Etc. [Read more…]

With the holiday season just around the corner, I’m starting to think about gift ideas. Around here anything with Alabama Crimson Tide written on it is popular. I found this really great Alabama bedding set over at Image Bedroom. As you can see, it has everything you need, including the bedspread, pillowcases, shams, and curtains. The site also has other college teams, and they have NFL Bedding. [Read more…]
There’s nothing I hate more than getting a stain on my clothes! Unfortunately I’m a wee bit accident prone, so occasionally stains happen, especially in the form of food and drinks! The latest product from Purex is designed to help us fight those stains, leaving our clothes fresh, clean, and spotless! Purex Plus Oxi is not just a laundry detergent, but a stain remover and pretreater. [Read more…]
