5 Highly Anticipated Family Movies in 2012

March 16, 2012 by 7 Comments
Taking the entire family out to the movies is an excellent bonding activity. But you may be concerned when you encounter the flood of movies to choose from, especially as summer blockbuster season draws nearer. What movies can possibly appease every family member’s particular tastes? As you glance at your calendar for the upcoming months, keep in mind these suggestions for the top family friendly films you’ll want to see. And don’t forget the popcorn!
Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax.Having recently hit theaters,The Loraxis a proven smash. Dr. Seuss is famous for his fanciful tales for children, usually involving whimsy, bizarre characters, clever rhyme schemes, and a subtle lesson included for readers to ponder. Starring Danny DeVito as the Lorax, Seuss’ beloved children’s book has been adapted for the big screen with its message about the importance of preserving the environment intact. Even if they don’t pick up on the film’s eco friendly message, your kids will love the 3-D animation offered through 3-D equipped theaters and media services (it’s also available to watch in good old fashioned – and less expensive – 2-D).

Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted.The third installment of the popularMadagascarseries follows the wacky adventures of Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller) and his pals Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock) as they try to make their way back home to New York. And don’t forget those crazy penguins!

St. Patrick’s Day Tree Craft

March 16, 2012 by 13 Comments
After Christmas time my kids asked if we could keep the tree up. They love the bright colors and the lights. At first I refused because I like my home to stay neat, tidy and tree-free (after Christmas has passed). Even with 23+ years of experience working with kids I still have my moments of wanting NO MESSES!

I soon moved past that idea and thought, “Why not, eh? Kids need to have fun – no harm done here.” We decided then and there to decorate a tree for various holidays all year long. So far we’ve have a Valentine’s Day Tree and now… our St. Patrick’s [Read more…]

A&P Supermarket- Meal Planning with #Cbias

March 16, 2012 by 7 Comments

So now that the hubby is back to work all day and I am working from home, it is time for me to start making some dinners. This is a daunting task indeed. I have never cooked- I know. Don’t laugh. I cook on occasion, but not daily, no mean planning, etc- and I have no idea what I am doing.

He has always been home before me, and he likes to cook, sooo…..He tries his best and makes good food, most times, everyone has an off day or 2. Now its my turn to step up to the plate and I have no idea where to start. I want to make meals that are easy, delicious, nutritious and will get everyone’s seal of approval- even the biggest of critics the husband! (UGH. he’s such a brat.)
A&P is here to help me out a bit. A& P supermarkets are everywhere in my area, so finding a well stocked store is very easy and always convenient. Most of them are also 24 hours, which I LOVE.

Before my big trip to the store, I always do as Santa does: made a list, checked it twice. After that compare the list to the circular we get in the mail and to our coupons and figure out what we are getting in addition to our meal ingredients. Oh I forgot, we are making an American classic- Tuna Noodle Casserole. Can’t mess that up, right? Please? LOL.

Here is the recipe we are using:

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
1/2 cup milk
1 cup Frozen Sweet Garden Peas
2 cans tuna, drained
2 cups medium egg noodles, cooked and drained
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • Heat the oven to 400

    Easy Ways to Improve Your Mood ASAP

    March 16, 2012 by 3 Comments
    There’s no denying that modern life can be stressful. As adults, we have all kinds of worries to contend with; the economy is in the toilet and job loss remains high; the job you have is demanding and fast-paced; the kids require you to be not only a nanny, but also a chauffeur, a cook, a tutor, and a counselor (parents wear many hats); and the amount of things you have to squeeze into a day is more than enough to boggle your mind (and your mood). So if you’re having trouble shaking off the stresses of the day and you’re looking for ways to improve your mood, like, yesterday, here are a few tips and tricks to help you let go of your frustrations and get back to the sunny self you fear you may have lost along the way.
    1. Change your diet. A steady influx of sugars, fats, and preservatives will only make you feel about a million years old. If your first instinct is to reach for a bag of chips and a Coke when you have to eat lunch on the go, then it’s time to seriously rethink your position on nutrition. You’ve probably heard the saying “you are what you eat” and in a way it’s true. If you weigh down your body with items that feature lots of calories but little in the way of nutrients, you’re virtually starving yourself of the feel-good elements that real foods have to offer. A diet rich in lean protein, whole grains, and the fruits and veggies that provide you with necessary vitamins is not only going to make your body feel fantastic, but it will also increase your energy and focus and dramatically improve your mood.

    2. Exercise. Whether you’re jogging, lifting weights, or hitting the yoga mat, exercise may be the [Read more…]

    WIN TICKETS to “1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends” Live Show

    March 15, 2012 by 7 Comments

    What kid doesn’t love Elmo? I know I grew on on Sesame Street, and though the 80’s toys and games have made a comeback- Sesame Street never really went away, did it? And thankfully so- it’s a great, educational, and wholesome show that you don’t have to be afraid to let your children watch. Another thing I love about Sesame Street? They kept it as it was. Sure, it is updated- but no one got super skinny, got giant heads or eyes, went “anime” in style, Maria and Gordon aged like normal people, and the characters all look as they should.


    AND You and your child can see all your favorite friends Live in the latest stage performance- 1-2-3 Imagine 🙂
    Where can your imagination take you? Anywhere you want to
    be! Audiences in New Brunswick are invited to make a world of adventure come to life with
    Elmo, Abby Cadabby and friends as the stage lights come up on Sesame Street Live “1-
    2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends”. This imagination-inspired musical will make a stop at
    the State Theatre from Thursday, April 12, through Sunday, April 15. Tickets for all eight
