Family Movie Night Returns Tonight on NBC

December 3, 2010 by Jennifer 3 Comments

I am so excited to tell you that Walmart and P&G are teaming up to bring back family movie night tonight on NBC at 8 EST/7 CST.

The movie is named “A Walk in My Shoes.” This movie is a quality family entertainment that your family will all enjoy. It is very heart-warming. So put on the popcorn and grab the hot cocoa and make it a family movie night tonight!

“A Walk in My Shoes” makes viewers stop and think, “What would I learn if I stepped into someone else’s life?” Stressed-out high school teacher Trish Fahey (Nancy Travis, “Three Men and a Baby,” “Becker”) can’t understand her students’ lack of effort in the classroom and why their parents don’t seem to care. This is especially true of Justin Kremer (Cameron Deane Stewart), a popular, skateboard-loving, basketball star who is underperforming in her class. Trish has him suspended from the basketball team and quickly chalks up the situation as a case of bad parenting.

This perspective dramatically changes when Trish meets Molly (Yara Martinez), a mysterious stranger intent on helping her see things differently. After a car accident, Trish wakes to find herself living the life of Cindy Kremer (Jana Lee Hamblin), the woman she has rashly judged and criticized. Molly helps Trish discover that there is more to the story and learns a powerful lesson that affects everyone she interacts with, including her husband, daughter and the Marine next door. No one is left unchanged.

One of our favorite music producer’s Randy Jackson has once again produced a movie soundtrack for “A Walk in My Shoes” with tracks from some of today’s hottest artists. The soundtrack will be bundled with the DVD and available tomorrow December 4, 2010 exclusively at Walmart.

WIN IT!

I am so happy to be able to do a giveaway for my readers for one of the DVD/CD soundtrack bundle.

What To Make With Corn Flakes

December 1, 2010 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Last week I cooked for a large crowd at our annual Thanksgiving Dinner. I had bought extra boxes of corn flakes to use in a couple dishes and for the girls to eat for breakfast. Well, I came back home with two boxes of corn flakes. Since I am not a fan of just plain corn flakes, I knew we where going to have to do something with these leftover corn flakes. Collective Bias asked me if I would like to contribute to their Dummies Guide to Leftovers, and I was all over that as I can be queen of leftover ideas!

Since we are all over turkey and all the fixings at the moment… I thought I would do some type of dessert with the corn flakes. It is that time of year for the holiday baking you know, so I decided to make hay stacks! I only needed to add a couple ingredients so we were off the the new Wal-Mart Supercenter that is just around the corner from my house. I was able to get ConAgra products of Reddi Whip (twist to our hay stacks recipe), Pam, and Peter Pan Peanut Butter for very low prices.

Follow along on my Whrrl Journey and see what else I found on my shopping trip:

More check-ins at Walmart Supercenter #3889

Here is the recipe written:

1 cup of peanut butter
1 bag of butterscotch morsels
6 cups Corn Flakes (approximately)

Combine the peanut butter and morsels into a large pot on the stove.
Heat on medium heat. Stir frequently.
Once melted remove from the burner and pour in corn flakes.
Mix the corn flakes really good into the melted mixture.

Then you will drop by the spoonfuls onto a wax sheet of paper.

Let sit for hour to hour half. Enjoy with Reddi Whip (optional)

It is such an easy recipe but one that everyone will definitely enjoy 🙂

Disclosure: I was compensated by Collective Bias for my shopping trip, but all opinions, recipe and ideas are my own.

Christmas is Full of Sweet Moments

December 1, 2010 by Jennifer 1 Comment

This week is Christmas Sweet at church. I know M had been preparing for this for a while but I never knew how powerful and fun it would be until we were able to watch the first show. I had so many emotions last night while watching. It reminded me yet again why this time of year is my most favorite time of the year.

The show is a 2 hour show, but I created a condensed version to share with all our friends and family. Hope you enjoy!
