ABC Soaps Back On Air

If you're a fan of ABC Soaps, then you know All My Children and One Life to Live were canceled by ABC. All My Children last aired the end of 2011, and One Life to Live was off the air the beginning of 2012. The cancellation of these shows, hit the soap opera community hard. Several Facebook groups popped up, and the boycotting began to try and save the soap operas before they were off the air for good. Boycotter's took to contacting companies that advertised with ABC during the hours All My Children and One Life to Live were on. Some companies ignored the calls and emails, while others wanted their few minutes of fame, and pulled their ads from ABC. A lot believe companies went this route to get free marketing. I honestly, cannot blame them, the fans were on a mission to save their soap operas and they were not going to back down. The fans were giving praise to the companies standing up to ABC and being there for the fans. Shortly, after the shows were canceled it was rumored … [Read more...]

End of 5th Grade

Wow, I cannot believe it, we only have 17 more school days until we are officially on Summer break! It always seems like the school year flies. One thing I like about being a homeschooling family, is that we have so much freedom, and we can make everyday living a part of schooling. This year our daughter started too cook, she started to learn about green living, and she's working on a garden with her dad. So even though the school calendar year is over, our daughter will still be learning. That's a great part about home schooling, we can sneak in schooling everyday, and since it's fun, our children have no clue that it's school. Where as if she was going to public school her brain would be on standstill until the following school year. This homeschooling journey has not been an easy one, but I don't regret for one minute that we as a family decided to go this route. Homeschooling families are sometimes looked down upon, we are often judged, and people like to talk about how we … [Read more...]

What Is The Weather Like Where You Are

It has been miserable here in Tennessee the past few days! He have hit highs at almost 90 degrees, sad part it is only April. I am not looking forward to Summer, and I will be getting the pool up SOON. Today our daughter and the dog played in the sprinkler, that is how hot it was. We have been having to use the A/C because it just gets to hot and stuffy. That is one thing I don't like about Tennessee is the humidity. I could handle the heat as long as I could breath. We do have thunderstorms coming in, which will drop the temps by a lot, but for how long I have no idea. What is the weather like where you are? Still getting snow? What about the colder temps? Send some coolness my way please! On a different note, who all is ready for the great movies about to hit the theaters? My family is wanting to see The Lone Ranger! I have always been a fan on Johnny Depp, so I know we will love this movie! Check out the trailer below, and mark those calendars it hits theaters July … [Read more...]

Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Often times I find myself sitting here with a sweet tooth. Nine times out of ten we don't have much in the house for sweets. With living a healthier lifestyle we don't bring in a bunch of junk. I remember in the day we always had ice cream in the freezer and the pantry was stocked with the latest junk food. Now we have whole wheat products and veggies. Who can go wrong with some yummy veggies, right? However, veggies cannot settle a sweet tooth. For this I like to keep some great baking products on hand. Last night one of those sweet tooth urges came on and in the kitchen I went. Chocolate pudding was on my mind, and in about 15 minutes I had it in the freezer chilling. Have a sweet tooth, but no sweets in the house? Have milk, cocoa, sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch? Well fear not your sweet tooth will be happy in a moment. Chocolate Pudding from scratch recipe. What you need: 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup cocoa 1/4 cup cornstarch 3 cups of Milk 1 tsp Vanilla … [Read more...]
