2016 ...... BACK-TO-SCHOOL

**I received some of the products listed here to review for my opinion and there are affiliate links that I will earn a commission if purchased through the links. This is all my own opinions and in my own words.**

As you already know school will be starting real soon.  It always seems like the summers fly by and the school bells are ringing.  As you know also the school sends home a list of supplies the children need to bring to school on the first day.  I know it can become overwhelming at times making sure they have the supplies, new school shoes, clothes, haircuts and etc. and some children aren't as lucky as some of the other ones.  I would like to give you an example of what I am talking about.  I personally am a mom of six children and yes you read that right.  So in my case, I started buying new school clothes around the time they were getting out of school for the summer.  That way I got to pick and chose without being rushed and plus the winter clothes go on sales right then too.  So I would get everything I could at that time.  Then slowly over the summer, I would get two children their new sneakers one month and then two more the next month and I know you know which way I am going with this.  So with this Back-To-School Guide, I am going to have information, a few articles and some great products that your child may need for school.

CLASSROOM FRIENDLY SUPPLIES

This is a little bit about Classroom Friendly Supplies.  There is nothing worse than 

being interrupted in your classroom by the annoying sound of a pencil sharpener. It brings 

your lesson to a screeching halt. I am an elementary school teacher and the owner of 

Classroom Friendly Supplies. I started selling these quiet and efficient sharpeners after 

realizing that many fellow teachers were also struggling with the same problems as I was 

having. 

Over the past 10 years I have sold to thousands of teachers. There are now over 2,500 school districts across the US that have decided to purchase Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpeners. As you can see, word has spread quickly.

Now I have to tell you that I had the opportuity to give one of these sharpeners a try.  The sharpener is just the right size, not a big bulky ones like I have had in the past.  You will also have everything you need to mount it on the wall in the package.  It was very simple to mount it on the wall and get it all  set to use.  This sharpener handle turns with so much ease and your pencil sharpens within seconds.   This sharpener is not just great for the classroom it is awesome to have in your home.   Now the last thing I would like to share is that you are able to pick out any color that you like.  They have so many different colors to chose from and I liked the purple one.

So if your a teacher, homeschooling children or you just need a sharpener at home for those homework nights.  All you need to do is click right HERE and grab yourself one.

Among School Children 

It’s amazing how you can grow up and forget childhood-excitement, or the feeling of it. I was watching a whole lot of small children a while ago and was sad to realise that I’ve lost some of the wonder of being a child. 

I was near to a sweet stall and it was amazing to just see the looks on the children’s faces as their gaze fell upon the colourful treasure. Their eyes glowed and all of a sudden their hands transformed into magnets, attracted to the sweets. Some would just walk to the stall, grab a sweet and shove it in their mouth before anyone could stop them. I saw twins, a boy and a girl about two years old. They both had huge blue eyes and couldn’t resist reaching out to the sweets. Their mother tried desperately to stop them and the little girl looked at her with those irresistible eyes and smiled as if to say, “How can you resist me?” All the while the mother was probably worrying about them getting rotten teeth. 

We have forgotten the innocence of childhood and sometimes cannot see just the positive aspects of things. Another little girl, about five years old, brought a friend to choose some sweets. While choosing what they wanted, the little girl pointed to some and said, “Those are bubblegum. But you can’t have them.” Her friend asked her why and she answered, “Because I’m not allowed to.” 

We sometimes forget how to appreciate and enjoy a moment to the fullest. When children see their friends it’s as if just seeing them gives them an enormous amount of energy. 
They run up to them shouting in excitement and immediately they run off together to play. Children are able to show their true emotions in a way grownups can’t/won’t. They don’t worry about other peoples reactions, they act on impulse. 

Sometimes I think that we burden children with our worries and fears and in a way we steal their treasured childhood. Instead of forcing them to rely on their imagination, we just switch on the television and let actors entertain them. Children become desensitised because we expect them to handle things that are beyond their understanding. We trap their abundant energy by feeding them junk to keep them quiet and buying playstations to keep them occupied instead of letting them run around and play, and then fall asleep, exhausted, to their own dreams not simulated ones. 

We are thieves, worse than any other criminals, because we take something that can never be replaced, bought or repaired: their freedom to just be a child. 

We are the only people with the ability to give a child a happy childhood. To give someone memories that can often be looked back on with nostalgia would provide the greatest sense of achievement ever, because then, not only have we physically given them life, but provided them with, at least, the greatest beginning to the whole experience.

DEB'S FOOD JOURNAL POST (July)

Welcome to another Food Journal Post.  In this post, you will hear about some new products and a few different articles that might be interesting to you.

Good Enough To Eat

We are all familiar with vegetable flowers in the form of Cauliflower, Broccoli and Artichokes, but other, more ornamental flowers have been used in the cuisine of cultures all over the world for thousands of years. The Romans were keen on them, as were the ancient Chinese, and European medieval writings talk about feasts of venison cooked with marigolds and violets in salads. 

Using peppery Nasturtium flowers in salads and sweet, perfumed rose petals in desserts is quite well known, but did you also know: 

• The young shoots of Hostas are good spinach alternative – Hostakopita is a Greek spinach pie made with hosta shoots and in Japan nori maki sushi is filled with parboiled hosta shoots marinated in soy sauce, sugar & salt. They can also be steamed like asparagus. Only use young shoots though as older leaves are too tough. 

• Hemerocallis – Day Lily – the flowers and buds have a sweet nutty flavour and look pretty in salads. (Don’t use other types of lilies though as they are poisonous!) 

• Violets & Pansies – the sweet, fragrant flowers can be used in salads, desserts and drinks and can be crystallised for cake decoration. 

• Sunflowers – we all know you can eat the seeds, but did you know you can also eat the buds & petals? The petals have a bitter-sweet taste and can be used in salads. The unopened buds can be steamed and have a flavour similar to artichokes. 

• Lilac – the flowers have a floral, slightly lemony flavour and can be used in salads. 

• Honeysuckle – the flowers have a sweet honey flavour and can be used as a garnish for salads and desserts. (Don’t eat the berries though as they are poisonous). 

• Fuchsias – the vibrant flowers look great as a garnish. 

• Campanula – the narrow leaves make a sweet addition to salads. 

• Yucca – the white flowers have a thick and crunchy texture and a sweet flavour. Be careful of the spines at the tips of the leaves when picking though! 

• Typha – Reed Mace – the young shoots taste similar to water chestnuts and the rhizome can be eaten raw or cooked, or dried and ground into flour! 

• Even the humble Daisies and Dandelions in your lawn can be picked and used as garnishes. 

N.B. It’s fun to use some of these more unusual edible garden plants, but do be careful you are sure what they are, as so many of our common garden plants are in fact poisonous. If in doubt, leave it out! 

Also, never use insecticides or chemicals on plants you may want to eat, and make sure you wash them carefully first – not least to get rid of the creepy-crawlies!

ROB'S BRAND

I would like to start this out with saying I had never seen this product before.  So this was my first time tasting all these great flavors of this product.  I have to say that the flavors really caught my eye.  My family and I tried each and every kind of product that I will be listing below.

Rob’s Brands are … commitment.

‘Be smart, be thoughtful and be generous.’

For Rob’s Brands founder and CEO Robert Ehrlich, its that simple…and that important. Our commitment to smart nutrition begins with Non-GMO butterfly popcorn kernels sourced from independent and agriculturally conscious farmers. From there, we work with only the finest all natural ingredients to create our unique flavors. Every bag of Rob’s Brands are 100% whole grain, high in dietary fiber, rich in antioxidants, and certified Kosher and Gluten-Free. Best of all, each serving of every Rob’s Brands flavor is 40 guilt-free calories or less, which we think is pretty thoughtful, too.

 Well I have to say when I seen this one I was thinking Spinach chip. I do have to say that this flavor is very unique one.  I actually liked it along with my son.  This chip are crunchy and chuck full of antioxidants.


The Himinlyam Pink Salt popcorn (right) has a very smooth salt flavor to the popcorn.  The popcorn is light and fluffy and full of taste to the last one.

 The sweet & salty popcorn really speaks for itself.  The popcorn is popped light and each popcorn kernel has the sweet and salty taste.  It is a nice mellow combination.  My whole family loved this one.


Now for the Bangin' Cheddar popcorn (right) it is a real cheddar flavor.  It reminds me of eating cheddar cheese, but with a crunch.  It really has the sharp flavor of cheese.  My son and I loved this one.

 I have to say I was a little reluctant to try the one above.  The only reason is because I was not certain on how Pineapple flavor would be on popcorn.  So with that being said I did have my son try it first.  His opinion to me was that it is really different.  So I figured I would try it so I can write this up.  So I popped one in my mouth and was pleasantly surprised.  The popcorn had a pineapple flavor but not a strong one.  So it is very different but really good.  I ended up finishing the whole bag myself.  So I guess that says it all.

The mushroom kettle chips were alright.  It really didn't have the flavor I imagined they would. It had a very light taste to it.  So this one I wouldn't rate too high, but my son liked it.

Now for the last one that is pictured above.  This is a great tasting popcorn and my whole family loved this one.  The coconut flavor makes this popcorn really good.  You really need to try this flavor and of course the other ones too.

So make sure you stop by Rob's Brand Snacks and enjoy some awesome flavors and no guilt of eating snacks.  These snacks are so healthy for your body.  So why not eat healthy and like it.

The Effect of Changing Tastes on McDonalds 

There are around 40 Million American are considered obese. We live in a world, where everything is almost instant. We can go to a drive up window and receive a fast, hot meal in less than 3 minutes. Everything is about fast. That is the Mc Donald's golden years. But sometimes, going too fast is not good for us. Customers now substitute healthy food for a quick cheap meal, a healthy diet, included with healthy habits, can change our life. These changes are great for our world, but it is hurting the Mc Donald's profits. 

Consumer tastes and preferences are changing and the [fast-food] industry need to be able to adapt to them. There is a huge opportunity to develop new products that appeal to the health conscious customer. To be more specific, they need to develop new products that appeal to young, health conscious women. Because consumer tastes are changing there is an opportunity to develop new healthier product lines that appeal to the new tastes of consumers that satisfied their tastes. 
Question3: What are Mc Donald's strengths and weakness and what conclusion do you draw about it future? 
Strengths: 
- Industry's leader: McDonalds has been the leader in the fast-food industry for decades, literally changing the way Americans ate. Like every other business, McDonald's is subject to opportunities and threats in their specific and general sectors. 
- McDonald's financial condition seems to be fair, but on the rise and could go back to being strong in the near future. The company has enough money to satisfy it short-term and long-term obligations and their interest payments, signifying that debt is not a major problem for them.

 
- Production: McDonald's has prided itself on its consistent product value. A Big Mac in New York tastes just like a Big Mac in Los Angles. Consistent product value has been strength for McDonald's because customers know what to expect when they go into a McDonalds. If a consumer wants a Big Mac they know that they can get one, with consistent taste and quality, at any McDonalds worldwide. 
- Others: McDonald's, along with consistent product quality, delivers a consistent restaurant experience, a best supply chain in the industry and highest respect from its vendors. 

Weaknesses: 
- An old brand: McDonald's has been around for so long, and most Americans have eaten at McDonald's more times than they can count. It causes decreases in profits and puts a bad name on intangibles such as the McDonald's name and the golden arch logo. 

- Current competition: McDonald's has been a part of fierce competitors between itself and other fast-food restaurants (Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Arby's, etc), but it seems to be getting more intense. Since the fast-food industry has a lot of growth potential, we are seeing thousands of new fast-food stores open every year. Quick meals can be found anywhere, supermarkets, convenience stores, and vending machines. The competition McDonald's faces are becoming more and more intense and growing larger and larger in number. 

- Marketing: McDonald's ads were hitting the mark with little kids, but failed to reach teens and young adults, even alienating them. Consumers were left uncomfortable with the unfamiliar "I'm Lovin' it" ads. There are many people only ate at McDonalds because there was no better alternative. 

Question 4: Should Mc Donald's develop a separate strategy for the heavy user segment of fast food industry? 
Yes, because McDonald's brand is one of the highest ranking, best known and most valuable in the world, McDonald's found itself in that brand – the Big Mac- and it is the main stream of its revenue to keep company stable. 

Question 5: What should Jack Greenberg do to grow sales, profits, and market share at Mc Donald's? 
I would suggest that McDonald's attempt to develop new products, because the opportunity to do so it too great to avoid. They have experienced nothing but success with their new line of Premium Salads: it seems only logical to at least attempt to develop a new product that has the potential to be a very successful product in an ever growing industry. There is so much potential for generating high sales from the development of a new product because consumer trends and tastes change faster than ever.

 
McDonald's ads should target market in that of teens and young adults. Because the "I'm Lovin' It" campaign is not working and it needs to be changed, especially if new products are developed. The fact that their ads are successful with children and not teen and young adults poses a problem. Without good marketing it would be difficult to launch a successful new product and would also make it difficult to develop. But continue with its "I'm Lovin' It" ad campaign and use it globally as a single brand message. 

Once a new product is developed and is successful, then McDonald's can focus on increasing production in their functional areas – the heavy user segment. Also, McDonald's should want to peruse other alternative once a new product have been developed and has become successful; it's more of a long-run alternative.

JENNIE-O

You might have already heard about Jennie-O and maybe some of you never have,  Well I have seen their products in the stores while I was doing the grocery shopping. As of a few months ago my family and I had never tried the product, in which I am very sorry that we didn't.  Jennie-O is one of the greatest turkey products out there.  Jennie-O has several different types of products you are able to get and use.  There are so many different kinds of recipes you can make with these Jannie-O products.

Now I am going to introduce to you the products my family and I tried and share what we thought about products.  I might even fill you all in on 1 or 2 recipes for them.

This Ground Turkey product of Jennie-O's is quite really good. It's not just good for the taste it's good for it being lean also.  You can make all kinds of dinner's out of this great product.  Actually, just use this ground turkey in any of your meals that you use hamburg.  It will not only be healthier for you but it will give your meal a great taste.  I went to the store to get this ground turkey and I made a meatloaf out of it.  I added my onion, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, italian seasoning and adobo.  I mixed it all together and put it in a baking pan and in the oven it went.  

I persoanlly have to say that I think that was the best tasting meatloaf I had ever made.  I am a great cook, but this was damn good. My family loved it to and my son even said make it this way from now on, that's how good it was.  Besides the taste it was so juicy and tender.  You really need to give this a try.

Now these Italian sausages are just as good.  I had used them in several different kinds of meals for my family.  These to are lean and healthier for you.  I have cooked them and put them in spaghetti, sausage n peppers sandwiches, fried them up and served on some white rice.  The options are endless.  You can even use your old recipes that you have used pork sausages in and just substitute for these Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages.  You need to give it a try!

Now these turkey burgers are already prepared into burger patties.  This makes it easier to just buy, take out of the package and cook up.  Why not have an awesome grilled burger that is healthy and nutritous for you and your family.  They have a delicious taste to them.  Why not try these on the grill this summer?

GOING GREEN IS SO SIMPLE .....

(This is my own opinion on how to go green. This is copyrighted.)

An increasing number of people are now wanting to do their part to save the planet due to the worsening problems caused by global warming. Unfortunately, numerous people assume that going green is costly and time-consuming. Read on to discover several immediate things you can do to get on on the path to living green.

Recycling is the top way to start. A lot of people continue to place glass and aluminum items in their normal garbage even though recycling is not that hard to do today. In the US, it's not hard to locate a trash service that offers glass and aluminum recycling choices. Many people still continue to discard these items even though recycling bins are not hard to find. It merely takes a few minutes to wash off the cans and bottles before placing them into the recycle bin.

Newspapers are another item that overburden our landfills. Virtually all people will merely take their daily paper and toss it in the garbage when they are done with it. But, there are many other uses that you can get out of your newsprint other than poring over it. Did you know that you can keep your windows clean using newspapers? If you're tired of seeing small white fragments and streaks on your windowpanes after you clean them with paper towels and cleaner, try to use old newspapers instead. Several community groups run regular paper drives. Merely compilepile all of your old newspapers, put them in a stack, and see if the paper drive organizers will come to your location and pick them up.

One more thing that could help you to start to live green is to begin walking a bit more. Lots of people routinely drive short distances merely to buy one thing at their local corner market. If you just walk to the store, not only could it take less time, because you won't have to locate a parking spot, but you will be saving money on gas and helping to save planet Earth by not burning those fuels.

If you wish to save even more on gas, take the chance to car pool when you can and only mow your lawn two times a month instead of weekly. A gorgeous lawn is good to have but skipping an additional week before you mow again shouldn't significantly affect it. Using a manual push mower like those more normally used many, many years ago will help to save the environment even more. Numerous hardware shops still carry this type of mower.

When people make up their mind to try green living, it's easy to make a few lifestyle modifications that will benefit our environment. Likewise, you can find lots of info all over the Internet on other ways to start living green, you only have to look for it.

FAMILY DAY AT WEEKI WACHEE .......

** This review post is all my own opinion and information about this destination. I was compensated admission to the park and that is it.**

I would like to start this post out with a little bit of information on Weeki Wachee.  Weeki Wachee is a town with a name as quirky as its main attraction – the famous underwater mermaid show. Found in north central Florida close to the Gulf Coast and about an hour north of Tampa, Weeki Wachee proudly bills itself as "The Only City with Live Mermaids." At Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, the water bubbles up from the aquifer at a consistent 74 degrees. It is so remarkably clear that you can see the limestone walls more than 100 feet away through the glass windows of the theatre. Inside the theatre, located 20 feet below the water’s surface, human mermaids have been performing for more than 63 years. Also nearby are several hotels and restaurants, all of which help to make your visit complete.

My family and I had the greatest opportunity to check out this great Spring.  Once you are in the park you will find a few different attractions that you want to stop and do.  Let's see besides the little shops to eat and buy your souvenirs at there is a great boat ride, animal show, the mermaid show, waterslides and don't forget the spring to swim in.  We loved each and every part of Weeki Wachee.

Inside the theater located some 20 feet below the water’s surface, human mermaids have been performing for more than 50 years now. These girls that practice to become mermaids they need to practice their breathing.through tubes underwater.  They put on two shows daily and it truly is amazing. Now I would like to share with you some pictures of the mermaids as they were performing. The charm at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park endures. This unique spot, the only place in the world where human mermaids perform.  It is also known where little girls grow up believing both in Santa Claus and in mermaids,

 These  mermaids learn to hold their breath for as long as two minutes. In addition to mastering exceptional breath control, these performers are true athletes, clearly fit and strong. They must contend with the loss of body heat during the 30-minute programs. While we Floridians are often quite picky about the temperature of the water we prefer for swimming, these mermaids are swimming in water that is 24 degrees cooler than human body temperature! I know I couldn’t do it!

During the three daily show times, two different programs are presented. The first and third programs are based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, “The Little Mermaid.” My favorite is the noon American-themed show, which features synchronized swimming routines. It’s easy to forget that the current here is flowing at five miles per hour because the performers are so graceful.







Now I would like to tell you about the River Boat Cruise.  This is a beautiful cruise to relax and check out the scenery on   the pristine waterway of the Weeki Wachee River.  Every  visitors will have an educational experience and learn about the river and the different types of natural wildlife that might be seen during the trip.

This is a photo is of the river off of the boat.

The animal encounter at Weeki Wachee Springs provides our guest with a first-hand glimpse of some of Florida's native wildlife including alligators, snakes, and others. My family and I sat and watched the animal show for about 15 minutes.  I think the animal show is geared more towards young children may be from 3 to maybe 10 years of age.  

This picture above is part of the stage where the animal show is performed.  While we sat there we had seen a couple of different kinds of snakes.  The young man that was performing had actually told alot of great information on the snakes.  Like I said younger children would really love this show.

Now I want to introduce you to.......Buccaneer Bay !

Florida's only spring-fed water park, the thrilling flume rides empties our guests into the pristine waters of Buccaneer Bay.  Now this is the best place to have a bunch of fun.  I was very surprised to see how huge these waterslides are.  The sand around on the beach area is this purest white sand. It was the softest sand I have ever felt on my feet.  The water in the swimming area in the spring was so blue and you can even see the bottom of the spring.  I was amazed.

 The picture above is of the beach area.  As you can see the pure white sand.  It is a pretty good size beach area to hang out on or just lay in the sun and fall asleep.

Now the picture on the left is the top of the water slide.  Once you get to the top you can choose which slide you would like to go down, depending on your age.  If you are a smaller child you will be able to go down the covered water slide that will slide you out in a shallower part of the water.  There is a lifeguard right there at the end for safety.

The picture above is the waterslides and swim area.  There is also a dock that you are able to jump off or dive in the middle of it all.  Where the dock is it is 20 feet deep.  You must jump off once it is amazing.  

My son chilling on the bench

My husband and I on the boat.

My husband and I just acting goofy.

The peacock that was in the park.

Well, those photos above are just some fun photos we took.  We all had an incredible, awesome time at Weeki Wachee.  Now the last thing I would like to tell you about this park is the admission price.

Ticket Prices

                                              Adult:                         $13.00
                                              Child (Ages 6 - 12):    $8.00
                                              Children 5 and under:  FREE

             The daily admission price above includes access to Buccaneer Bay.

Now you have to agree that these ticket prices are just as awesome as the park.  Everything is included for a fun filled day.

I really hope you enjoy the video!

So what do you think about Weeki Wachee?

Are you going to take a trip there?

Let me know what you think!!
