Enjoy ice cream ala Smucker’s

You might remember Smucker’s tagline from years ago. It was something along the lines of “With a name like Smucker’s it has to be good.” When I was asked to try three of Smucker’s new ice cream toppings, this one little sentence sprang to mind.

Smucker’s sent me three new toppings to try: Apple Cinnamon, Dark Chocolate Special Recipe, and cupcake flavored Magic Shell. The results? Oh my, oh my!

Prevent Identity Theft This Summer

Recently I received an unsettling letter in the mail. According to a certain company, an employee of theirs had been an identity thief. And this person at one point had access to my my credit card and social security information. The company said once they realized the situation, they started taking steps to ensure my credit and social security number would remain safe. And they wanted to let me know what was going on.

My Sibling Saga

Within less than four years, my mom found herself the overly sleep-deprived parent of three children. I was the oldest at three and a half. My sister was two years of age and my brother was a newborn.

(Yes, I don’t know what she was thinking either. But she’s a pretty brave woman, wouldn’t you say?)

She managed to get through those crazy years but it didn’t seem to get easier for her. My poor mother must have felt a bit ripped off when my little brother transitioned out of diapers
