So I danced

Oh I just had to share this one ....

This is so PERFECT for all those people who love that saying - you know the one I'm talking about.

Thanks Shar for sharing this one with me.

October is Pretty in PINK

I know you have heard this (or should I say read this) here already,
but just in case you haven't been "in the know".

Tupperware is going PINK for the month of October.

We are Celebrating Women this month with an awesome new color that will be exclusive on some of the wonderful new and favorited products that Tupperware has to offer.

I wanted to highlight some of the products that I think will be big sellers, I just don't want you to miss out on some great things, so here we go.

We have a girlfriend special - the Thatsa Bowl 8 pc set in our exclusive color and then for just $10 more you can get the Thatsa Bowl Extra Mini Set! 
You could both have a 4 or 5 piece set and split the cost ...... pretty awesome right?





You can get a 12 piece Classic Sheer Midget Set for the price of 6.

and

With an additional purchase you can get the Measuring Cup and Spoon Set in this great color ... can't you just see your kitchen POP with this color?






But of course we did not forget the traveler.  Whether you are going to work or running errands or visiting with friends, this 12 oz travel mug, again in this awesome exclusive color would be a wonderful addition to your travels.









Now we also have something for that special little lady in your life - we have Hello Kitty!
I just know your daughter, neice, granddaughter would LOVE this set.  Don't you think?

Aren't these colors great?  Check out these and so much more on my Tupperware Site.  If you are interested, you can send me an email or order right from my site - just let me know.  I'm really excited about all the products that Tupperware is offering in this AWESOME pink color.

Celebrate October.

Welcome to the Octoberfest Giveaway Hop!

Hosted by Planet Weidknecht and

Going Crazy!! Wanna Go??!!

From October 1-7, you can visit all the participating blogs below

and enter to win all the prizes!

My prize is...

geared to help mom's and dad's get things together for that very special kids holiday - the Halloween season.  You take care of the costumes and I'll help you get started with the day's celebration itself with a prize worth over $100!



Are you having a Halloween Party at your house?  Or are you all just going out to Trick or Treat around the neighborhood?  How about a Big Orange Bowl to put some pretzels or popcorn in?  Gotcha covered here.



Where are you going to store that candy as you give it out?  Here you go a huge Orange Bucket o' Candy with an easy peasy carrying handle.  I will even throw in a bag or two of candy to get you started.

 If you are going out into the neighborhood, especially if you have "younger" kids, you might want to have a container of "snacks" so they are not tempted to be eating out of their "goodie sacks" before you can get them home and take out what you like check out what is in there.

And of course we didn't forget mom or dad as they walk around.
  Here's a really nice 24oz tumbler to keep thirst at bay.....

Tupperware goes PINK for October

October is going to be an AWESOME month for Tupperware as it goes PINK for October! Take a look at this YouTube video from headquarters (I so love Cheryl) showing all the things you can get during the month of October. I know I will be getting some of those Pink items for me and then maybe some for a giveaway later on in the month - but you may not want to wait until then to snap up some of these products.
 


Remember I am a your Tupperware Consultant on top of being your bloggy friend, so if you want to have some of these products, you can visit my Tupperware Page or you can email me and we can talk about an online party or you can be an order taker among your friends and family and we can make it an AWESOME party ..... and you can reap the benefits!

The biggest benefits (free or almost) are through Oct 12, but you can still do this after Oct 12 through October 26 and still get a lot of these same benefits for a very small price .... and you can still get hostess credits!  Give me a shout and we can get you STARTED!

Who holds the future?

Sometimes when things get to be much too hectic I start to think about what it would be like to slow down, have everything I want (not exactly sure what that all is but) and not have to rush around trying to juggle 55 things at once.  In other words, I think about what the future holds.

Admit it, it does happen to you too.  It's ok really, it happens to everyone at some point - they just don't always admit it.

I saw this the other day and just had to share.  No matter what your religion is, no matter what you believe, this resonates LOUD and CLEAR.

As the weekend rolls around, and we "weekend warriors" break out of the week long ties and search for our weekend persona, lets allow this to sink in and give us something to think about.  And then we can stop worrying about the future, about what's to come and just be.

What do you think?

Have you seen this video/ad? 
Have you decided who you will vote for this Fall?
Here is a You Tube clip sent to me by a friend. 

Watch "Test of Fire: Election 2012 (Official HD Version - Catholic)"

Watch "Test of Fire:  Election 2012 (Official HD Version - Evangelical, Protestant)"

So what did you think? 
Did you notice the difference in the two videos?

I know I've tried to keep this blog "low-key" and not have a political stance on here.  As my parents have always said "to keep a friendly conversation steer away from Religion and Politics."

This one will throw that advice out the window.... but this morning I'm feeling a bit "daring".

We all have our opinions so lets not be down on anyone who has a different opinion than our own - remember that differing opinions is part of what makes this country the great country that it is.  We all get to express our opinions and not worry about being "prosecuted" .....

Easy White Sauce Starter Mix

I found this new website Hillbilly Housewife that has some really awesome ideas to make those "store must haves" like that usually have a ton of salt or preservatives.   She has some great easy ways to make your own.  Here are some I can't wait to try.

Keep this white sauce mix base on hand for easy sauces that are great for changing up your meals without going crazy with storing lots of "stuff"

White Sauce Mix Base

• 2 cups instant nonfat dry milk
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup butter, margarine or shortening

In a large bowl mix well dry milk, flour and salt.
With pastry blender or 2 knives cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Store in an airtight container.  I'm going to put this in another one of those great Tupperware Modular Mate Containers.
If using butter, store in the refrigerator.
If using margarine or shortening, will keep on the shelf in dry weather for up to 6 months.

I'm going to make this with my Tupperware Quick Chef Pro so that I can easily mix everything together and get the "fat" cut in easily without any problems.

White Sauce
In a small saucepan combine

• 1/2 cup White Sauce Mix Base 
• 1 cup water 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper. 

Stir over low heat until smooth and hot.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Cheese Sauce
Add 3/4 cup shredded cheese after your White Sauce thickens.

Curry Sauce
Add 1 teaspoon curry powder to your thickened White Sauce.

Alfredo Sauce
Make White Sauce from White Sauce Mix. To every 1/2 cup White Sauce add

• 2 to 4 cloves garlic, pressed, 
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
• 1 cup light cream. 

To cooked and drained hot pasta, add Alfredo Sauce ingredients, one by one, mixing and tossing well after each addition. Serve immediately.

Mac and Cheese
Combine
