Hungry Jack Premium Hashbrown Potatoes Review and Giveaway

Hashbrowns hold a special place in my heart, er, stomach. I order them whenever I eat out for breakfast because I heart them. I have tried a number of times to replicate the restaurant style hashbrowns that I love and crave, but to no avail (much to my family's dismay, since we all equally love hashbrowns). I gave up on the seemingly impossible task of recreating the delicious crispy, savory hashbrowns at the restaurant... until I found Hungry Jack® Premium Hashbrown Potatoes!

The Little Looster Review and Giveaway

My 2 1/2 year old is going through some independent growth because she doesn't want any help when going to the potty but needs help regardless of her independent desires.

Zookeeper: A Movie Review

I love Kevin James. I think he is hilarious! When I got the chance to go to an advanced screening of Zookeeper, you know I jumped on that train as quick as I could!

A little information about the movie before I tell you what I thought -

In Zookeeper, the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes (Kevin James). Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only way to get a girl in his life is to leave the zoo and find
