The great folks at Avocados from Mexico are always having great contest and sweepstakes for their devoted fans, and this spring you can wake up a winner with a little avocado for breakfast and the Wake Up a Winner Sweepstakes.
Avocados from Mexico is encouraging everyone to try a little avocado in the morning with breakfast. You can slice it up and serve alongside your traditional breakfast or add it to your favorite omelette or breakfast wrap. Or just spread it on a little toast. (See the recipe below.)
Rascal Flatts’ newest album, Changed, hit stores on April 3rd. The trio, comprised of singer Gary LeVox, bassist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney, have evolved after being in the spotlight as some of country music’s biggest superstars.
Changed is their eighth studio album and their first with brand new material in two years. Since their musical debut in 2000, the band has sold over 21 million albums, 25 million digital downloads and delivered 13 #1 singles to the top of the charts!
Since I’m a huge country music fan and Rascal Flatt’s just happens to be one of my favorite artists, I was super excited when I learned that One2One Network had an opportunity for members to review Rascal Flatt’s newest album!
It seems like everyone I know has been away for spring break for the past week or two. It reminds me of just how long it’s been since I’ve been on a vacation. I have to admit, I’m usually quite the home-body, but everyone needs time away ever now and then! Last year I managed to leave the kitties for a few days and went to Mobile for a few days. That was fun, although you can’t really call it a vacation since it was more of a “visit the family” kind of trip.
But perhaps I’ll get go to the beach or to the mountains this year. Or maybe I can find some Family Holiday Deals on some other type of trip.

And that’s it! I hope you all have a fabulous Easter Weekend!
Lately we’ve been having the best weather imaginable! Last week my husband and I went out, and I was thrilled to be sportin’ my capris, a tank top, and flip flops for the first time this year! As I said to my husband at the time, “Life is good.” And to make things even better, I was wearing a a brand new top that I received from Fresh Produce.
Fresh Produce has a lot of great looks for spring in casual fashion, and they have something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a Sunday dresses, capri pants, summer pants or something to wear to the beach this summer.

As the spring and summer months roll around and we get to working on outdoor and home improvement projects, you may find yourself in need of a little help The other day I ran across this great site, HireaHelper.com.
It’s a place where you can find movers, day laborers, cleaners. For example, if you are in New York City, and you want to find New York City Movers, you just type in your zipcode and the day you are needing help, and then you click “compare prices,” and a list of service providers will come up for you.

I have to admit, my husband does the mowing and most the hard work, but I do help with the flower beds and the general clean up. And regardless of who’s doing what, I’m always interested in finding products that can make our yard work easier!
As we get ready to tackle the yard this spring and summer, I’m excited to try this new Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix. Here are some of the benefits you get from it:
• Up to 3X the Flowers and Vegetables!* *versus native soil
• Significantly improves soil for multiple years
• Concentrated planting mix expands up to 3X when water is
added
• Feeds for up to 6 months
• All natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting
soil
Personally I can think of a few different ways in which I’d like to use this. For one, I’ve got a tree in my backyard that needs to be transplanted, and I think the Expand ‘n Gro would be great to use for the transplanting process.
Also, I was at the store the other day and saw some buttercups (daffodils) for sale. They are my favorite flower, and it would be so great to have some planted around the house.
Here’a quick video to show you how Expand ‘n Gro works!
