The past two days I have been busy running errands, shopping, and to a few doctor's appointments. Summer time is busy!  Yesterday afternoon when I pulled into the driveway my youngest announced there was a package on the porch. We tried to guess who's it was for before we got out of the car.  I was the lucky winner. Wahoo. We had bags to bring in from the garage, but that waited. I opened the box to see what was inside first! So what was in the box? The most perfect, crunchy, sweet snack ever: Well, um we ate most of the bag in no time flat. Bare Fruit Cinnamon Apple Chips are mighty tasty!!! They are crunchy, sweet, and taste like apples, because they are apples. what I like about Bare Fruit Cinnamon Apple Chips: 100 % organic Baked, dried apples a healthy snack 4 apples in every bag Washington State apples ingredients: organic apples, organic cinnamon. that's all 90 calories a serving you can eat them while you type just like I am gluten free manufactured in a nut free f...

You know it's Summer time when first thing in the morning the temperature is at 86 degrees and by lunch time it's 97 heading to 100 degrees- add humidity into the mix and it feels like 100 outside. Keep your cool in hot weather! Drink plenty of cold water and take it easy. When I see workers outside doing construction on the road or buildings I wonder how they can stand to work in the heat and humidity. Waiting on a breeze or a Summer rain shower often brings even more humidity, and then the temperature goes right back up. Not much help in keeping your cool.  Whether you are working outside or working out keep cool with useful and cooling products from the folks at O2COOL. One of the products I tried from O2OCOOL is their Mist 'N Sip Drinking Bottle and Misting Bottle. I filled it with ice and cold water. The water stays cold in the insulated bottle and is ready when you are!                  ...

One hot Summer day - June 26, I headed to Atlantic City, New Jersey, to see the famous Air Show.  I was able to park right next to the boardwalk in a garage since I had a media pass. (Blogging has great perks)  The city gets full of people and cars and parking is at a premium. It was a  hot day, but their was excitement in the air-and in the sky.  We made our way down to the beach where Chalets were set up for ticket holders and media pass holders. I've been going to Atlantic City since I was in elementary school and I love to go back and visit. It has changed a lot, but it's also kept some of the old charm I remember-like convention center. At the air show you will be wowed and thrilled with the planes flying above your head. It is pretty awesome. This year's show had a little less military planes, but the show was just as good. What a beautiful blue sky day for the Atlantic City Air Show 2013! Along with the air show comes a boardwalk full of vendors, giv...
