Tis The Season for Pot Lucks & Socials

Last year at a pot luck for work was the first time I had tried these meatballs.
When I asked what the ingredients were, I was surprised.
3 ingredients. period. The meatballs of course. Then a jar of Heinz Chili sauce and a can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce! That's it, that's all. I would have never guessed the two things would "go together" in a recipe. There was no denying it tasted great though.
I wanted my husband to try them, but just meatballs wouldn't really be enough. So I went one step further and put them over egg noodles. I've even served them over rice. So you don't have to wait for that once or twice a year shindig to break out the recipe.
They went from party snack to dinner entree.
Go visit the Ultimate Party Meatballs. They have some other really great recipes and a really great giveaway going on. www.ultimatepartymeatball.com
ENJOY!

Baby Einstein...I love you!

I'm sure if you've been a new mother within the last 10 years you have or have heard about the Baby Einstein DVD's, CD's and Books. We've had several of the DVD's for our son. And he has loved everyone.
I have been given a set of Einstein products: -10th Anniversary Baby Mozart DVD-Baby Einstein Board Book-Lullaby Classics CD.
We had never tried the Classic CD's. The first time we put them in our 2 yr old LOVED IT. He loves to pick out what instrument is being played. He will say, "Listen, mommy, a Pee-an-O!
The music is nothing short of beautiful. I loved listening to it! He asks now to hear the CD.
Even though the DVD is considered too young for him. He still loved it too. He loves music. So in my opinion these DVD's and CD's can be age appropriate long after the company's age range.
Even the Board Book was great. He loved feeling the textures of the animals in the book and reading the book.
If you are looking for wonderful, useful and something truly educational for a baby shower, or birthday gift/Holiday gift, you can't go wrong with Baby Einstein. Who doesn't want smart kids?!
Please go check out their website for some great gift ideas.

MEET MY NEW BEST FRIEND

I'm not sure about you. But I've always thought Clorox 2 was a bleach. So I never really thought much about it...until I got some.(keep reading, there's free stuff at the end :) )Clorox 2 now has a New ultra stain fighting formula that is even more concentrated. It's Clorox 2 Stain Fighter & Color BoosterLiving where the RED CLAY grows, is hard on kid's clothes and yours too if you garden or just walk outside. I've never found anything that would get the red clay completely out of the knees on a pair of pants and forget white socks. The clothes I tryed it on was from the summer so it was safe to say it was pretty ground in and had already been washed several times. But the tenacious red clay stayed, as it always does. Until I tryed the Corox 2. I pretreated the stains and threw them in with some more clothes, not really expecting too much. I didn't dare look until after they came out of the dryer. But when they did, WOW! I couldn't believe it really took the stains out and the rest of the load looked pretty good too.I was sold. If all it did was take out red clay stains I'd be a happy camper, but it also took out some old coffee stains on a tshirt. So I was happy.Go visit my new BFF at http://www.daretobecolorful.com/Tell me what stain you would like to try it on and how it got there. Or are you more interested in the color booster part of it?I've got coupons for a FREE 33 oz bottle for 2 of you with the best story and 1 will go to a random commenter. Comments close on 12/3/08.
