I think it’s no secret that I am an ice-cream fan. I’m sure if you’ve seen my waistline- it proves that fact.

But now, I have found ice cream that doesn’t wreak havoc on my diet-

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy!

And it’s oh-so-yummy!

Even my daughter loves it- and since it has NO artificial flavors or colors, I don’t feel guilty about giving them to her.

Now, what did I mean about nice on the waist?

The triple chocolate chip bars have just 130 calories and 6 grams of fat per bar. And these bars are HUGE. It’s not some measly portion that leaves you wanting more. They are completely satisfying! The triple chocolate chip also satisfies my major chocolate hankering. Mmmmmm! This one is definitely my family’s favorite!

And then, there’s the Vanilla Fudge Brownie ice cream Sandwich. Hello HEAVEN! It’s still a great portion size, but with only 160 calories and 4 grams of fat per ice cream sandwich- it’s your answer to any great ending to the day!

There are other flavors too, but I haven’t picked them up yet. If you do, will you please let me know how they are? I’m sure they’re delicious because they’re the Breyers Smooth & Dreamy, but I would love your opinion!

And to get your opinion, I’d like to bribe you a little…

Head to Breyers’ site, and tell me what you think your favorite flavor would be!

I’ll pick one winner on Friday, August 20th- and send them a coupon for one FREE Breyers Smooth & Dreamy multipack!

(you’re welcome)

*This review was facilitated by Mom Central. I received free ice cream and a gift card. One lucky winner will receive ice cream. It doesn’t effect my opinion on the product at all. It was still amazingly yummy.

Okay, so I know the movie has been out for quite some time, and I’m a little behind on this review-

But trust me.

This is NOT a soundtrack you want to miss.

Why?

It has The. Liza. Minnelli.

Singing Beyonce’s

“Single Ladies”.

FOR REAL.

It’s one of the most weird AMAZING things you will ever hear.

I laugh and love it every time, and M (who’s 4) loves it too!

Okay, so the soundtrack isn’t all about Ms. Minnelli.

It also features the amazingly talented Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis and Dido (LOVE HER!)!

This is one of the best albums I’ve listened to in awhile, because it’s not only feel-good girl-power (“I am Woman” anyone?), but it showcases some of the best voices of our generation.

So if you’re in the market for some new music, check this album out. You won’t be disappointed.

*This review was part of a soundtrack project with One2One Network. I was given the album in exchange for my review, it does not effect how much I loved it

Goodness these last couple of weeks have been crazy!

J, M and I went to NY for a few days to visit family- and let me tell you- it’s the worst drive. Ever.

Why?

M (who’s 4) had learned the phrase:

“ARE WE THERE YET??”

And used it every 10 minutes for 8 1/2 hours.

In a car.

With just us.

I really thought I was going to lose it!

By the time we hit 45 minutes left of the drive, I was laughing like the joker because I had CRACKED.

And then we got to spend 4 days with our in-law’s neighbors.

But, I’m here to tell you that we survived, and made it home in record time.

I’m not sure how we did it, but I’m pretty sure that the wind at our backs and the thought of being in our own beds was certainly motivation.

Gas was outrageously expensive, but that’s nothing new, so instead of eating unhealthy fast food on the way there and back, we packed our sustenance in our cooler and packed up the Monkey Bed.

Monkey Bed?

Yes, you read that right.

It’s like a picnic blanket, okay, it IS a picnic blanket but it’s so much better than just that.

It’s a picnic blanket that’s soft, comfy and comes with it’s own bag- and there’s no wrong way to fold it up!

We used ours several different ways this trip. Mostly as a picnic table cloth (the only thing grosser that rest-stop bathrooms is rest-stop picnic tables).

It really gave me peace of mind knowing that my family wasn’t eating straight off these nasty tables.

We also used it as a blanket to sit on for the 4th of July fireworks. The blanket is so soft and comfy to sit on, that you don’t even feel the grass beneath you.

It’s light, has a fantastic shoulder strap, and even has tons of pockets to put things in, so it really is the perfect bag.

How could it be more perfect?

It comes in stylish colors that my husband isn’t afraid of being caught dead carrying.

It’s such a nice bag!

So check them out. They’re a small company run by some fantastic people. You won’t be disappointed.

*Dear FTC: We were provided the Monkey Bed, free of charge in exchange for a word-of-mouth review. I loved it so much, I brought it to the ‘net!

Okay, so I’m not huge on music. But when I find a group I like, I normally stick to them like glue- and One EskimO is one of those groups.

They aren’t like the typcial music that I listen to, but you know what?

They are pretty awesome.

They kind of remind me of John Mayer- but no where near as douchey.

I really love their single- Kandi- which is funny because a good friend of mine spells her name the same way!

So check One EskimO out on their website

or on iTunes!

But don’t ask me why they make the last O in their name capitol. ‘Cause I don’t get it.

But they have to be pretty cool- because they blog, right?

So check them out, you won’t be disappointed, unless it’s not your style. But even them, give it a chance!

Want to win a copy of their album?

All you have to do is leave a comment, telling me what your favorite song is after visiting One EskimO’s site!

The contest ends Thursday, June 24th at 10:00am!
