The kids are in school, but after they leave in the morning it looks like a tornado has busted through my house. There are a lot of things out of place and a lot of things I wish I could wave my wand and have magical cleaned. I’ve spent a great deal of time with the kids and extra activities, like crafts and projects. As a result of the fun from summer we have things everywhere in the house. I literally have boxes of craft supplies PILED on my kitchen table, which can no longer be used to eat on. I’ve kept the floors clean and things are not dusty and gross, but I certainly could use the help of a janitorial cleaning service. I’ve kept up on dishes, vacuuming, laundry and the necessities. I have some major re-arranging and organizing to do and it’s going to be nothing shy of a miracle to pull it off!
Now both of my kids are in school all day and I can’t bring myself to START the chores I have to do!! I need some inspiration to get back on track… Some rubbermaid? Labeler? Maid? Ideas?
Mater Lock has always been my FIRST choice in locks. I’ve been using them since high school {where they are recommended} and every place I’ve needed a lock since then. BOTH of my children have lockers at school and I am glad to have Master Lock to turn too. Master Lock truly has become more interesting and unique. The Precision Dial is amazing! I love that the locks has both letters and numbers. This makes remembering a combination MUCH easier because it isn’t all numbers. There is a combination reset tool included should you forget the combination. This is by far the easiest lock and combination that I’ve ever used. It makes remembering so much easier!! The Precision Dial features include:
Easy to set & reset – use 3 letters, numbers or mix them!
Patented technology operates with familiar right-left-right combination lock movement
Combination reset tool included in package
Maximum security with anti-shim technology
High precision dial “clicks” for accurate dialing
1-15/16″ (49mm) wide metal body with hardened steel shackle
Hardened steel shackle for extra cut resistance
The Speed Dial is also VERY nice. This is actually my favorite. There is NO letter/number combination to remember. This lock uses 4 directions; Up, Down, Left and Right. If you prefer this lock does come with matching passcode indicators (letters, numbers, colors, shapes, symbols) for added customization – simple apply over arrows! It’s super easy to remember the combination; which we have set as up, right up, down. This is particularly handy for my son, who is only 6. He needs a lock though and this is nice for me because I don’t have to worry about the keys being lost or anything like that. The Speed Dial features include:
World’s first combination lock that opens on up/down/left/right directional movements
Patented technology is faster, easier and more secure than a standard combination lock
Maximum security with anti-shim technology
Combination can be reset to any number of movements in any sequence
2″ (51mm) wide metal body can be opened one-handed without looking for ease of use
Hardened steel shackle for increased bolt cutter protection
Both locks are amazing and I am glad to have Master Locks to help secure my belongings and make Back to School less worrisome for me!

What would you do with ONE MILLION dollars? Discover wants to know! This year, every purchase you make with your Discover card is another opportunity to win one of 75 daily prizes—up to $500—or a $1 Million Grand Prize! That’s why Discover reached out to filmmakers from around the world to get their take on what it would be like to win $1 Million. Out of hundreds, four independent filmmakers were selected to show films based on their interpretation of the thrill, drama and joy of what it would be like to be the Grand Prize winner.
My favorite video from the series is Genie. I love the fact that this man was willing to chose the happiness of another person over money, which is just material in the end. If I won a million dollars, I would likely do the logical things, like pay off the house, vehicles and other things. I don’t think I would do anything elaborate and expensive and I certainly wouldn’t want to set my family up for disaster.
What would you do with your million?
GIVEAWAY: Discover is giving ONE lucky reader FOUR tickets to any Six Flags U.S. theme parks (valid thru 1/5/2011, no black-out dates)!
MANDATORY ENTRY: To enter visit Discover Million and tell me which of the 4 video is YOUR favorite!

In the summer we have a lot of cold foods, like sandwiches, subs, etc. We’ve always been a fan of Mezzetta products! Although we use them in our sandwich and subs, I’ve also used many of their products in my other cooking, like chili and dips. Mezzetta is announcing their THIRD annual Mezzetta Make That Sandwich Contest. The grand prize includes $25,000 and an exciting trip for two to the Napa Valley, home to Mezzetta.
In addition to the Mezzetta Make That Sandwich Contest, Mezzetta has also enticed 7 celebrity chefs to create their own inspirational sandwiches recipes and compete against each other for bragging rights and a $10,000 donation to the celebrity chef’s favorite charity!
Mezzetta began in 1935 in San Franciso’s historic North Beach. It is not based in the capital of Nappy Valley, California. There are a ton of things that can me made with the Mezzetta family of products. While we commonly use them on sandwiches, feel free to experiment in other recipes. They work great in wraps. I love that they are jarred and ready to do. We’ve taken them in the cooler to the beach or the park. They are easy to add to your sandwich or what not. MUCH easier then cutting up and taking all of these ingredients!
Be sure to check out the celebrity recipes using Mezzetta products and vote for your favorite!! Vote at Make that Sandwich. You can also enter your sandwich and recipe there!! Contest and enteries ends September 6, 2010!

The kids are in school, but after they leave in the morning it looks like a tornado has busted through my house.

I literally have boxes of craft supplies PILED on my kitchen table, which can no longer be used to eat on. I’ve kept the floors clean and things are not dusty and gross, but I certainly could use the help of a janitorial cleaning service. I’ve kept up on dishes, vacuuming, laundry and the necessities.
