Apparently folks did believe Harold Camping. My husband came home last week and told me the story of the judgement Camping predicted for May 21st. I saw that the coming judgement trended a few times over the weekend on Yahoo and then this morning as I am working on Twitter I am seeing all these tweets making fun of the poor man who prophesied that the rapture would occur on Saturday at such and such a time. Did anyone really believe it would happen? Whatever happened to “no one will know the time or the day” type of statement? I just don’t get it. I don’t know why this elderly man thought he could predict such an event or why people would blindly believe him? Thoughts?

My Review:
I received the Black Edition Spaghetti Lifter. It’s nice and sturdy. The head and handle are a heavy plastic material, while the middle of the handle is a stainless steel. It lifts spaghetti, so it does it’s job. Although, it’s not perfect for all noodles. You’ll loose elbow and shells through the hole in the center of the lifter. Which I suppose is why they named it a spaghetti lifter and not an elbow lifter. Ha ha ha…. I love kitchen gadgets so, this spaghetti lifter is right up my alley!

Has anyone ever told you to take a hint? Well, I’m telling you to go buy a HINT. A HINT Water that is! ” HINT – Drink Water, Not Sugar”
“Just the Facts”
“HINT is simple: Premium essence water with a HINT of flavor.”
“HINT offers verages with no calories, sweeteners or preseravaive and is a great alternative to juice and soda.”
“HINT was launced in April 2005 by current CEO Kara Goldin, a former AOL Executive and mother of four, her husband Theo hold the position of COO.”
“HINT has appeared on popular shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Legal, and CSI, in addition to The Early Show, Power Lunch, and Good Day New York.”
“HINT is based in San Franciso, California.”
Here are the available flavor in HINT water – Watermelon, Honeydew, Hibiscus, Blackberry (available at Starbucks throughout the US and Canada), Mango-Grapefruit, Pomegranate-Tangerine, Lime, Raspberry-Lime, Pear, Cucumber, and Strawberry-Kiwi.
“HINT is available in high-end grocery stores, cafes, & food retailers nationwide.”
My Review:
I received six (6) bottles. Watermelon, Blackberry, Mango-Grapefruit, Pomegranate-Tangerine, Raspberry-Lime, & Strawberry-Kiwi. And my husband, daughter and I were “fighting” over them! We liked them all and they were refreshing! My favorite was the Mango-Grapefruit, while my husband’s was Raspberry-Lime. My least favorite was watermelon, only because I prefer real watermelon – the actual melon. I’m not fond of watermelon candy and things like that.
The bottles are 16 ounces each and can be purchased directly on their site. www.drinkhint.com . I also found them on Amazon. Both sites have HINT water at the same price per bottle. A great refreshing treat!

Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer). Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.
CARS 2 races into theatres everywhere in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D on June 24th! Watch the trailer here.

Is Bieber Fever running rapid through your house? Check out this 18 year old that turned Christian music into Pop music. If you or your kids enjoy Pop music, you’ll love this kid!
I introduce you to Robert Pierre!
Raised in a Christian home, this 18 year old, high school honors student loves basketball. Seems like a typical high school kid, right? He was approached in elementary school by a teacher. ” The teacher asked him “If you were to die right now, and were standing at the gates of heaven, and God asked you why He should let you in… What would you say?” Robert could only think to answer honestly… “He shouldn’t”. His life changed at that moment.
With his voice, heart, and song writing ability Robert began his ministering through song journey. He has released two (2) nationally distributed recond and three (3) singles that have reached the Billboard Christian Top 50 hit list. Robert has performed at many festivals, camps, youth groups, and schools, as well as internationally.
Pierre’s third record is entitled “I’m All In”. In which, he wrote 10 of the 11 songs, plays the guitar and sang back up! That’s a talented kid!
My Review:
Pop!? How do you turn Christian Music into Pop Music? Well, apprently it can be done! And very well, I might add. I put it on and got a wonderful surprise! The beat was great and I felt like I was listening to my favorite boy band! I found myself and my daughter dancing around the kitchen! However, the messages are very different and refreshing from today’s pop music.
The four songs I downloaded were –
1. Jesus
2. You Hold Me Now
3. Breaking My Heart
4. Identity
I loved them all and guess what! You can download or listen to them too! FOR FREE!
2. Once on NoiseTrade, you simply click the Robert Pierre EP image to open the online player.
You will see the 4 songs available. (simply click on the song you’d like to listen too)
1. JESUS
2. YOU HOLD ME NOW
3. BREAKING MY HEART
4. IDENTITY

At Nashville’s Las Paletas (2905 12th Ave. South; 615-386-2101) according to Food Network Magazine they have a fresh corn with heavy cream pop. Then if your heading to the west coast, check out Sol Pops (www.solpops.com). In Portland, OR, they have multiple locations and sells a sugar snap pea -orange juice pop.
Unfortunately, I don’t live anywhere near these areas, but I’m going to try and make them at home. It will be a trial and error for sure. My toddler daughter LOVES ice cream and ice pops. If I can sneak a veggie into it, bonus for me! I looked on the web for a little bit to find a “base” recipe with no results. However, I know juices will freeze and if I run some veggies in the food processor.
Do your kids love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? But have you ever stopped to read the label of the jelly that they are eating? Nope? Well you should! Conventional jellies contain aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, and added flavors. Hero jelly contains NONE of these things! Just pure 100% natural ingredients!
We where sent a party pack to review that included peanut butter, a $5 Target gift card for bread, all four of the Hero fruit spreadables, streamers, balloons, critter cutters, and reusable lunch sacks.
Our Thoughts
This jam was very yummy! It was simply wonderful! It was not too thick, but not too thin. It was just right! None of my children complained at all about the taste. In fact they loved it! Our children also loved the critter cutters. They were very cool!
As you can see from the pictures we really enjoyed the Hero products and we will buy them again!
Be sure to head on over to your SuperTarget stores Sunday, May 15th to try out the Fruit Spreadables for yourself at a sampling event!

I had the opportunity to try a new product called ResVitale. What is ResVitale? Well it’s a-
Resveratrol is a powerful polyphenol found in the skin, seeds, stem and vine of red wine grapes that exerts significant antioxidant properties. Thought to serve as one explanation for the French Paradox – the idea that the French have a remarkably low incidence of heart disease compared to Americans despite a diet rich in high-fat foods – Resveratrol has over 2,000 associated clinical studies documenting the amazing benefits.
My Thoughts-
Did this product work? Yes and no. I didn’t notice any miraculous results as I only took the product for a few weeks. (I would have been able to take it longer, but the product got soggy on our vacation and was no longer edible! 🙂 Although, one lady a few weeks ago told me that I wasn’t old enough to have eight children! 😉 So maybe it does work miracles!
I think that this product is a really neat idea! I love that it’s organic/all natural and that it’s great for anti-oxidants and anti-aging!
