I Am So Glad It's Glade!


I recently had the opportunity through Bzzagent to tryout the new Glade Expressions! Needless to say I was very excited, I am always looking for creative ways to improve the "natural" scent of my home and Glade is a  product I had always used in the past. I could not wait to try their newest product!

So many choices!

I quickly took my coupons to the store to get my Glade Expressions I stared at the choices and finally decided on the fragrance mist, Cotton & Italian Mandarin and Oil Diffuser, Fiji Apple & Cardamon Spice!


I can not tell you how much my family enjoys both scents!  The Fragrance Mist when sprays brings an instant  scent of Ahhhhh.... As my son would say!  The scent is pleasant and one of my favorites I am of fan of scents that are not too flowery or "perfumey" I love it and I love the subtle "clean" aroma that fills the air when I use this product!  I also love the fact that it is refillable which helps to reduce the cost of my next purchase!

Placed among the honored "Browns Bobble Head"


My daughter eagerly opened the Oil Diffuser and put it together and placed it on top of our piano in the living room.  The Fiji Apple & Cardamon scent is amazing!  I love that it is a subtle scent that does not overpower the room!  It is like an afterthought....and I mean that in a good way!  I walk through my living room even two weeks after opening the diffuser and I think..."what is that smell?" I realize that it is the Glade Expressions and it fills the room with a gentle pleasant scent!



On of our main reasons we love Glade Expressions!


 I really would recommend these products to family and friends they are pleasing scents incorporated into tasteful designs that can decorate your home as well provide a delicate aroma!

Brand X With Russell Brand!

 I recently had a viewing party through Crowdtap of  Brand X with Russell Brand a new show on the network FX !  I gathered some of my family and friends over at my daughters new apartment to watch the show.

Getting ready to laugh! LOL!

To help us get in the mood for the show we all walked down the street to the coffee shop to watch open mic night. We watched a not so great comedian, my Daughter played the piano and sang ( wonderful) and my husband actually performed a few magic tricks!  Yes I am married to a magician and have a musician daughter!  Now we were in the mood for some good comedy!



Let the "kids" pick the snacks and you
end up with pizza rolls and cake! Yum!
Sporting a "Brand" vest!




Back at the apartment we ate some great snacks and performed our best Russell Brand impersonations!  Not all of them very good.  My son however has a sense of humor we call "Under the Radar" because he manages to say something very subtle to get us rolling!


He looks very Russell Brand ish!



son doing his Tebow wearing the
shirt that makes me cringe!
We then watched some very funny Russell Brand X clips on the FX website....did I say very funny!  My kids loved the Tim Tebow clip as my son is an avid football fan and does the best Tim Tebow impersonation! (At least in my opinion!)



We are now primed to watch the premier!  When the show started I was a little leery because I was unsure what to expect but as I watched I was pleasantly surprised!  We laughed throughout the show and since my son's name is Joe he immediately sympathized with Joe the man from the audience that Russell Brand picked on throughout the show!  My husband really enjoyed seeing Ryan Hurst on the show because he is a huge fan of Son's of anarchy and I got a kick out of seeing Cletus Hogg!


Over all we all thought the show was humorous and glad that is was rather easy to laugh with!  It was not tooo political or too serious it was a great half hour escape from reality!  My friends and family enjoyed it so much that they all stated they would tell their friends to watch it too!

Progresso....Recipe Starters...So Easy!


I recently got to try Progresso's new Creamy Portabella Mushroom Sauce through Bzzagent!  Let me tell you I was nervous at first because my son and I are not huge mushroom fans so we were a bit skeptical that we would enjoy this meal but we love to try new things!

I decided I would try the Recipe Starter in the crockpot with several chicken breast that I had just purchased.  I am always cooking in the crockpot during the week and so I really wanted to see how well this sauce would work.


I was amazed!  The chicken came out moist and delicious and the sauce great!  My fear of mushrooms was put to rest when I tasted the sauce it was flavorful but the taste was not so overpowering that I could not enjoy my meal.  I made a bed of egg yolk noodles for the chicken and sauce and to tell you how good it was there were no left overs!  My son ended up eating three helping of just the chicken so his initial hesitation turned into ravenous hunger once the first taste test was completed!





Thank Progresso and Bzzagent I am already looking into all the great recipe ideas I have seen online to try the next great Progresso Recipe Starter.  I am thinking Creamy Roasted Garlic Sauce would be great with chicken and rice!
