UPrinting 18 x 24 Poster Print Review

by | | 0 Comments

Last fall I had some some pictures taken of my daughters at the pumpkin patch.  They came out so awesome but there was one particular that I really liked of them sitting on the haystacks, holding pumpkins just having a blast! I decided I wanted to display that picture on my wall so I turned to Uprinting because they do really cheap poster printing.  You know me always looking for a deal!  I got the 18 x 24 rolled poster print and when it arrived I LOVED it!  So did my girls.  The picture was so big to them it was like as if it was life like!  I have it hanging in our living room and I look at it everyday.  I still need to frame it and I plan on getting to that real soon.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Grilling Basket Giveaway ENDED

by | | 1 Comment

While at BlogHer in NYC earlier this month, I had the privilege of attending the Unilever PentHOuse and was able to sample some delicious dishes and speak with the Unilever Test Kitchen Chef Normajean.  I tried some yummy dishes and learned of a few new ways to use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray.  Honestly, as simple as it is, I never thought to use it on corn on the cob.  I know it's pretty obvious that it would be the easiest way to apply butter to corn on the cob but I will admit I always did it the hard way and used a knife and tried  my best to catch it before it fell off the corn.  Admit, you've done it too!  Well I don't do that anymore!  We've had corn on the cob twice...
