Del Monte Fruit Cups — A #SmartSnack #CBias

"Del Monte Fruit Cups Diced Pears"

I have to confess. Some days (OK, OK, many days), I don’t eat as much fruit as I should. In fact, some days, I don’t eat any fruit.

There. I said it. I’m not proud of it, but it is what it is. I feel a little better.

I don’t buy fresh fruit too often, [...]

Money: How to teach your kids about it

How do we teach children about money? Or, rather, the value of money? Actually, it’s not as easy as you might think…and it’s probably more important that you realize.

When teaching kids about money, there are some tips to make it a little easier to drive the important points home.

Ellio’s Pizza (Review & Giveaway)

"Ellios Pizza"

If you haven’t heard of Ellio’s, then you haven’t enjoyed frozen pizza.

Luckily, I live in an area where Ellio’s is basically a household staple (it’s definitely the frozen pizza of preference around these parts), so I have enjoyed it my entire life. In fact, both W and I remember how Ellio’s pizza was [...]

Are you financially prepared for emergencies?

Dancing With the Stars: Safeguarding the Integrity of the Dancing

"Dancing With The Stars Maria Menounos Derek Hough"

How many times does it need to be said that Dancing With the Stars viewers need to vote? But they need to vote for the best — the same rules apply as with American Idol. No pity votes, no over-thinking it…vote for who deserves to be there!

Starting with this episode of Dancing With [...]

American Idol: Thinning the herd

"American Idol Colton Dixon"

Oh, goodie. We’re opening the American Idol results show with the shameless plugging of the premiere of a Jennifer Lopez video. This will betray how old I am, but I can barely tolerate sitting through a single music video. I cannot believe I used to watch MTV 24 hours a day [...]

American Idol: And then there were 98.

So, I must confess that I missed the first half hour or so of American Idol, but I’m sure I didn’t miss much. It appears that the running theme was forgetting the lyrics. It was awful.

After one group (that included a cop and the flu-ridden Christian) was axed in its entirety, another group [...]
