Nick@Nite, You're In Time-Out

For years I have enjoyed most of Nick at Nite's evening line ups, such as; I Dream of Jeannie, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Growing Pains and Happy Days, just to name a few. I love those shows that bring back childhood memories. And anyone can see these are family shows that for the most part the entire family can watch. I remember being thrilled about any new line up of old shows that would rerun at Nick@Nite. A little secret about myself is I HATE HORROR films and often times during October and sadly also in December there are a million horror films that are released and their previews are all over the place and I could always count on sweet little innocent Nick@Nite to not air any of them. Another thing about the Nick@Nite line ups were that they were pretty squeaky clean. Nothing that needed *bleeps* or super editing to cut out major vulgarity. 

Many mommies out there can say that when the children are home watching television, the channel pretty much stays on either Nickelodeon or Disney. On one fine evening, while my girls were asleep, I was downstairs in my kitchen making school lunches for the next day and my television was still on. I can not recall the cartoon that was on at the time but once it was over NickMom or Moms Nite Out came on which was a stand up comedy show where people came and said all kinds of parenting type jokes (which were not that funny if you ask me) BUT GET THIS.....they used the B-word and A-hole AND without any bleeping! 

Call me a square but I am truly disappointed! I mean does Nick have to jump on the dirty bandwagon with everyone else??? They were already pushing it with Teen Nick....now this!!! I mean really...was that necessary?? I understand as a mother that sometimes you need that moment to let your hair down, but trust me...we can find that time in other places instead of on our children's television station. I mean Nickeloden/Nick@Nite has been so innocent....and if some of you have children that need that TV on to help fall asleep or if your sweetie pie is up late not feeling well you subconsciously felt safe with your TV on the NICK station....WELL NOT ANYMORE.....profanity is not a good look!! So NICK@NITE you are in TIME-OUT!!! Guess they couldn't compete with ADULTSWIM and CartoonNetwork anymore.

"Ooooh.....NEW!"

Hi there!! Today I stopped at my local grocery store for dinner and stumbled across one of my favorite words besides "SALE" and "FREE"......"NEW." I'm a sucker for new items and I'm almost always willing to give them a try. During my stroll down the baking isle I saw these tiny little packets with delicious flavors like Orange Cream, Mint Chocolate and Caramel just to name a few. It was Duncan Hines new Frosting Creations. 

I immediately started grabbing one of every flavor when my husband's face appeared in my mind. At .99 each, I decided I better play it safe and try just one for now. So I opted for Cotton Candy. After selecting my flavor I then grabbed a tub of the Frosting Creations Frosting Starters and a plain white cake mix, then headed to check out! Stay tuned to see what my family and I have to say about these new "creations" by Duncan Hines!! Meantime, check out the Duncan Hines website to see all the available flavors and cute recipe ideas.

Maybelline DREAM NUDE Airfoam

So...a little birdie...whom I love dearly, told me about this new product from Maybelline (hi Mom!!). I personally do not wear foundation at all, not that I am against it....but I have always been afraid of getting so use to it that I would hate the way I would look without it...and also because the challenge of finding that perfect color seemed way too impossible. So, back to this birdie....she told me about this new product and how wonderful it looked on the skin. It was described as light and airy and left the skin with a nice subtle glow. I said "why not" and went to the store to face my fears! I will be trying this new product and sharing my thoughts tomorrow, so until then!!!

Welcome Back

To our surprise and some prayers, Walmart  has decided to bring back layaway! This is a sign to get started early this year (like we say every year) with our Christmas shopping. I believe that the layaway options at Walmart are on select department items only so be mindful of that while racking up! 

Happy shopping!
