Walt Disney & Marvel Present ANT-MAN

Last week I had the privilege of being invited to a pre-screeing of ANT-MAN in New York City. Like, right smack dab in Times Square. It was surreal. {Thank you, Marshall!}

You guys, Paul Rudd, THE ANT-MAN was there! Sadly, my Uber was a few minutes late and NYC traffic was brutal, so I didn't get to see Paul in person, as I had hoped to. That's quite alright, though. I was on cloud nine just being there.

Have you seen the trailer for this new Marvel movie? Take a look.

If you remember, a few months ago, I had the privilege of getting to see Avengers Age of Ultron as a pre-screening. Before that movie I was NOT a super hero fan. Boy, am I now! Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, and now Ant-Man...I'll watch them on repeat. 

So, tell me, have you seen ANT-MAN? Phenomenal, right?

Pro tip: Did you know to NEVER leave a Marvel movie until AFTER the credits? There's ALWAYS extra fun footage after the credits reel! I won't give any spoilers about this movie...but, did you see?? Will there be an Ant-Man 2?

A Protein-Packed Snack Choice {Hillshire Snacking}

Disclosure #spon: I'm required to disclose a relationship between our site and Hillshire. This could include Hillshire providing us w/content, product, access or other forms of payment.

It's no secret I have a large family. I mean, we're not the Duggars but, five kids in one family is considered large these days. While I would love to have a healthy snack of cut-up apples, gluten-free crackers and sliced organic cheese laid out for my kids when they walk through the door from school, it's just not that easy. I use every minute they're away from home to clean the house, take care of Mabry {who's still at home}, do the laundry and tend to any other household duties. Enter the NEW Hillshire Snacking plates! I CAN now have a healthy snack laid out for them that is also packed with protein {at least 15g per serving!}. Know what that means? Full bellies until dinnertime! {my kids would set up camp in the pantry, if I let them!}

New Hillshire Snacking features premium meats like grilled, seasoned chicken breast and hand crafted salami, and at least 15g of protein per serving. Available in 8 different varieties, including Grilled Chicken Bites paired with Teriyaki or Sweet Chili dipping sauce and Small Plates with Genoa Salami and Gouda, Hillshire Snacking options are perfectly portioned for an everyday snack at home or on-the-go, no prep required. 

Hillshire Snacking Grilled Chicken Bites and Small Plates are going to be perfect for moms {and dads} when they need to pack a lunch for the next field trip they chaperone! {I sure wish I had one of these on the zoo field trip I went on last week. You better believe I'll have one when we go to the museum in two weeks!} 

There are many days that I am working at home and just don't have the time to stop and make myself something for lunch. With any one of these varieties in my fridge {they are ALL delicious!} I can have a quick lunch that will satisfy my hunger. 

I have to also share this story with you. I went to Super Target the other day to pick up a handful of these to share with my family. I also needed them for photos. The next morning I went to the fridge and found that two of the snack plate varieties were missing. It was a huge mystery until I sent a text to my husband. He said "I'm sorry but, those things are GOOD". Okay, I can't argue with that! So, a little warning...these are sure to disappear from your fridge almost as quickly as you stock them!

Want to get your hands on Hillshire Snacking varieties today? You can find them in the refrigerated aisle of Cincinnati, OH, Dayton, OH and Northern Kentucky Kroger stores, as well as at King Soopers and Super Target stores nationwide! What are you waiting for? Go!

Also, check out the sweeps that is going on now through November 15!

I Just Can't Clean This Place {a parody}

For years, I've tried to convince Hubs that I am doing all I can to keep this house clean. Since the release of All About That Bass, a few moms have put together a parody video that showcases my true feelings on the matter of how I just can't clean this place. Maybe this'll convince him I'm not alone? {I love the blogger mention...although, I'm for sure not the blogger they're referring to. LOL}


Tell me your greatest struggle in housework. Mine? Laundry!
