Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure (definitely no disappointment here, as always, he was amazing in this role). Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past (but don't worry, you'll find out more before the end of the movie and won't be left wondering about their relationship). I don't want to ruin the storyline for you, so I'll leave it there! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid. </span></span>For a little teaser, check out the trailer and be ready to hit the theaters this weekend! Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides comes out on May 20th, but will be showing at midnight Thursday in select cities for those wanting to be first to see it!<br />

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=2904812'>Nutrish</a> for <a rel='nofollow' href='http://izea.in/r3oy'>SocialSpark</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> <img style='float: left; width: 156px; height: 225px; ' src='http://69.7.102.83/products/content/images/pages/products-food/img_bagsJust6.jpg' alt=''/></p>
<p> <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=7442&oid=2904812'>Rachael Ray Nutrish just 6 dry dog food</a> doesn't contain any corn, wheat or soy. Lamb meal is the number one ingredient, followed by five other wholesome ingredients (like brown rice, ground rice, dried beet pulp, poultry fat, and chicken flavor). And Nutrish Just 6 has all the added vitamins your dog needs to keep him healthy and happy!</p>
<p> Logan had the opportunity to try a sample of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=7452&oid=2904812'>Nutrish</a> and really liked it! We liked that the first ingredient is lamb meal, Logan just liked the taste! He was happy to taste the Just 6 food, and I'm sure it seemed like a treat to him because he gobbled it down pretty quickly. With the added vitamins he needs to keep him healthy, I'm sure we will try this food out again when his current supply runs out! We just wish it came in bigger bags, since we normally purchase 40-lbs at a time with Logan's appetite (he is a great dane after all)! He also wishes the bites were a little larger to help clean his teeth while he eats because the crunching really helps and these are tiny bites for such a large dog! His paws are crossed that a large breed formula is developed soon!</p>
<p> If you'd like to try Nutrish with your pet, you can request your own <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=7432&oid=2904812'>free sample</a> before buying a larger bag shipped to your house! As you can see from the picture below, we teased Logan for a little bit! He was trying to decide if the bag of food was food or a treat! To him it was a treat, to us it was food but he really liked it and he can be a pretty picky eater!</p>
<p style='text-align: center; '> <img style='width: 275px; height: 266px; ' src='http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu359/baileypoo/photo3.jpg' alt=''/></p>
<p style='text-align: left; '> In addition to being good food for your pet, all proceeds from the sale of Nutrish benefit charities that take care of animals that otherwise would have no one caring for them! So you are not only feeding your dog wholesome food, but you are also helping other pets looking for their forever homes!</p>

I am starting on a new journey of weight loss, healthy eating, and exercise in hopes of finally weighing less than my husband and being able to keep up with my kids!<br />
<br />
I received the most thoughtful gift from my son (he made it at preschool with this note attached about why I was special), but there was one thing that really struck me...in the eyes of my 4-year old, my favorite thing to do was "rest"...I don't ever want him to answer the same question like that again...couldn't it have been working on the computer, gardening...anything but rest?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGAZeDRcDNFvJ6DjY3zGqgb8LRNk_LHaWBOzoaJYYVqt40nrm_GCysycIVwcZiyBnW0fEr1zM6zf8sc-2aTWb-G4wNtq8YwVcQzMnE2SGomb0RWe2AKVGUjh_Wt1DTfGFkyJbSYyMThK7/s1600/Mother%2527sDay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGAZeDRcDNFvJ6DjY3zGqgb8LRNk_LHaWBOzoaJYYVqt40nrm_GCysycIVwcZiyBnW0fEr1zM6zf8sc-2aTWb-G4wNtq8YwVcQzMnE2SGomb0RWe2AKVGUjh_Wt1DTfGFkyJbSYyMThK7/s320/Mother%2527sDay.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><br />
Next time I want him to say exercising, playing with me, or at least something more active!<br />
<br />
I started this process a year ago and never truly took hold of who I was becoming until I saw myself in the pictures we took at Disney World! I had been behind the camera so long that I was rarely in the pictures. Today was the first day of the start to a whole new me!<br />
<br />
I started my diet through Medi-Weightloss, we planted a garden, and set up training sessions with a personal trainer twice a week. This time I will succeed and we will be changing habits as a family so it never comes back this time! Just know that if I don't post for a couple days, its probably because I am exhausted from dieting, exercising, gardening, and trying to prove to my kids that I enjoy more than just resting....because, someday I won't need as much and I'll be able to keep up with them.<br />
<br />
Weight has been a struggle for me, but I am determined to eat when I need to, be happy feeling a little hungry...and exercise as much as possible. This time, I'll try to document my process of Finding Myself because I know that this time I will make it to my goal even if it finally means putting myself first over everything else! I can now look in the mirror and see myself the way others see me and I'm not happy with it, so I know I will win at it this time...I just know I will win this time! Fingers and toes crossed that I make it through week one without a snag, then I will be on it for the long stretch of meeting my goal of finally being healthy enough to keep up with two little boys!<br />

Do I have to pick which kind to try first? I love taste tasting....and since I'm a great dane, I can try extras just to make sure I give you a good review. These are some truly tasty treats. The granola biscuits were super yummy....I only dropped one on the floor and I'm normally pretty clumsy when it comes to treats! My mommy liked that these were filled with good stuff for me, and I just liked how they tasted, plus they were crunchy and that helps my teeth! I am always a sucker for chewy treats, and these Milk-Bone Healthy Favorites were no exception. I tried biscuits first because mommy knew I would gobble these up! I still chewed but that was just to taste the yummy flavor...10 minutes later I was still licking my lips! Good stuff. I have already added these to the shopping list for a refill! (I was too fast for a picture - grab and go)!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPECBS2smsgKrQtnCOY4uR7oeBFG3SG4-xE7mlIFt_TaaGM0UEgcpDCJdaL9ciu-_opbSaW59HKzwRn8UOvbAFB7rZolcgaPAYN-_3h0KMDEsmZzSVfxfhk7xfa3hsiXXsHoQzER5IBE58/s1600/MilkBone2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPECBS2smsgKrQtnCOY4uR7oeBFG3SG4-xE7mlIFt_TaaGM0UEgcpDCJdaL9ciu-_opbSaW59HKzwRn8UOvbAFB7rZolcgaPAYN-_3h0KMDEsmZzSVfxfhk7xfa3hsiXXsHoQzER5IBE58/s320/MilkBone2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br />

<br />
As I leaned across my 4-year old in the backseat to reset the anchor for my 2-year olds car seat, he said <b>"It's okay if you squish me today mom! It's mother's day!" </b>At least now I know that on other days, squishing is prohibited!<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's Day to everyone! (One day late because blogger never posted my post yesterday)!<br />

I was putting on make-up, and proceeded with, "make-up, but don't worry, you're a boy so you'll never have to worry about putting on make-up!"<br />
<br />
His response: "Good, cause that looks really hard!"<br />
<br />
Some conversations just make you smile!<br />

Review & Giveaway
<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=2650692'>FRESCHETTA®</a> for <a rel='nofollow' href='http://izea.in/r3oy'>SocialSpark</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> <span style='font-size:12px;'><span style='font-family:georgia,serif;'>In one word - yummy! It's always great to heat up a pizza for the entire family, but sometimes you just need something for yourself whether it's a quick lunch (microwaves in minutes with oven fresh taste) or when you need a go-to meal on a busy night! </span></span></p>
<p> <span style='font-size:12px;'><span style='font-family:georgia,serif;'>I had the opportunity to try the new <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=8002&oid=2650692'>FRESCHETTA® By the Slice</a> and picked the six cheese medley! I couldn't just test it myself though, so even though it's one slice of pizza cut from a larger pizza, the whole family tried a bite! The crust was a just-right thin and remained "crusty" while micro-waving. my kids loved the cheesy bites and were happy that the slice was well-covered in cheese! This is also a good size piece of pizza, so it would fill you up!</span></span></p>

<p style='text-align: left; '> <span style='font-size:12px;'><span style='font-family: georgia, serif; ' class='Apple-style-span'>The six cheese medley comes is made with <span style='line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ' class='Apple-style-span'>two different styles of mozzarella and provolone, cheddar, fontina and Romano for a rich flavor. This is truly a tasty pizza slice! <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=8002&oid=2650692'>FRESCHETTA® By the Slice</a> also comes in BBQ Recipe Chicken (this would have been my first pick, but it was sold out), Chicken, Spinach, and Mushroom, and Vegetable Medley. I'm so excited to try more of these pizza combinations t</span></span><span class='Apple-style-span'><span style='line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ' class='Apple-style-span'>oo!</span></span></span></p>
<p style='text-align: left; '> <span style='font-size:12px;'><span style='font-family:georgia,serif;'>With young kids, we don't always agree on the "fancy" pizza toppings, so Freschetta By the Slice gives my husband and I an opportunity to eat gourmet pizza without feeling guilty for cooking a whole pizza! Our kids can pick the cheese while we opt for BBQ Chicken Recipe!</span></span></p>

I know that questions enters my mind daily...seems like his mind is going at least a thousand times faster than his mouth can, but I am always impressed by his ability to craft a way to do just about anything we can do! Luckily, I caught this one before he climbed up to get the PlayDo down!<br />
