    Weekend Bites Recipe Link Up featuring Breads!
     
    I love homemade bread. It’s something my Mom was always baking when I was a kid. That smell of fresh bread out of the oven always floods back the memories. I love making it myself, and my kids get just as excited as I remember being when Mom said it was a bread making day. 
     
    Last week we had a fair amount of bread recipes, and a sandwich..that uses bread, so I knew immediately what I’d be featuring. I hope you enjoy these and can make your own memories.

  • Pete’s Dragon in Theaters August 12th First Look Trailer

    Pete’s Dragon in Theaters August 12th First Look Trailer

    One of my absolute favorite movies from my childhood is Pete’s Dragon. When I got the email that Disney is remaking it – I may have squealed a bit. The trailer is now out, and I’m so excited!! Check it out.

    #PetesDragon

    Starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley and Robert Redford, this reimagining of Pete’s Dragon can’t get here soon enough! While I limit our kids tv time, like I assume most parents do, I really do enjoy family movie nights especially when it’s sharing one of my favorite stories via film. 

    Pete’s Dragon

    For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

    Beauty Blogger I am Not + a Giveaway

    It may be clear at this point that I am no beauty blogger. I love to look for beauty in the world around me, and I appreciate my body and its health. When it comes to things like makeup and fancy hair, though, this is not where you will find helpful info. 

    Not for lack of trying, of course. I’ve attempted a mud mask, and reading a book on beauty. Unless they have a giveaway attached, though, I usually skip the beauty stuff. So with that in mind, I bring you another Beauty Giveaway! 

    Periodically I end up with some makeup or other supplies as part of campaigns through groups like Influenster. Sometimes I will give the items a try, to see if maybe I’m missing out on something. Rarely do I keep any of it though. Currently I’ve got a great giveaway I believe you’ll all love, because while I’m not a beauty blogger, I know the majority of women my age wear some sort of makeup and will get more use out of this than I could. 
    Plus I’d probably put it on wrong and look really really funny. 

    KISS eyelash and adhesive giveaway. A Beauty Blogger I am not, but beauty giveaways I will run.

    When you join Influenster, you have the opportunity to let your voice be heard. No blog is needed, just a desire to share your opinion on products on social media. Have a facebook, twitter, instagram, and want to share about new products? Join today! 

    Beauty Giveaway!

    Who wants to win this KISS True Volume eyelash and Strip Lash Adhesive? Enter on the Rafflecopter. 

    Giveaway open to US 18+

    Ends 3/4/2016
