Dreyer's/Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream Scoops for Smiles!

 Ice Cream. It's our favorite. During the summer we can be found churning our 1950s hand crank ice cream maker. It's family time cranking and talking. It's dreaming about flavors and making them happen. It's a cool treat for a hot summer day.

It's easy for me to say it, "My family LOVES ice cream".

While we love creating our own ice cream, sometimes it just isn't practical. It takes time, ingredients and arm power. Still, the taste is worth it. When we're crunched on time and/or ingredients, these days we're reaching for Dreyer's Slow Churned Ice Cream.

My husband jokes with me every time I come home with Dreyer's because well, Mr. President, once worked there. He will kid and say, "Thinking about Mr. President again, I see."  While it's true Dreyer's puts a smile on my face, it has nothing to do with Mr. President and more to do with  20 different flavors and half the fat and one-third the calories as regular ice cream. I keep that to myself because the taste is still delectable, tastes just like regular ice cream.  The creamy consistency is just like homemade and I can spend time (alone) in front of the freezer case trying to decide on a flavor!

Dreyer's Slow Churned Ice Cream is giving a big reason to smile this summer. TV Personality, actress and model, Brooke Burke, has partnered with Dreyer's Slow Churned Light Ice Cream to give away more than 25,000 free scoops of ice cream... turning scoops into smiles!

Support with a Smile:
• For every “ice cream smile” photo uploaded to Dreyer’s Facebook page, $5 will be donated to Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity.
• The goal is to give away more than 25,000 scoops of ice cream, capture 25,000 photos of ice cream smiles before summer’s end.
• These efforts will help deliver more than 500 reconstructive surgeries to children around the globe suffering from cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.
• Of the photos submitted, ten lucky smiles will be featured in a Dreyer’s Slow Churned print ad.
• One lucky picture will win a coveted spot on the cartons of a Slow Churned limited-edition flavor, being re-introduced to store shelves in early 2013.

If you live West of the Rockies this ice cream is under the Dreyer’s name, but if you live east of the Rockies this ice cream is under the Edy’s name. Regardless of the name Dreyer’s/Edy’s slow churned ice cream is sold nation wide at many retailers. Visit http://dreyers.slowchurned.com to find a retailer near you!

Get Social with Dreyer's on  Facebook and upload your ice cream smile photo.

1/2 the fat, 1/3 fewer calories than regular ice cream, $5 to help kids. Go ahead, smile!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Dreyer’s / Edy’s. I received a coupon to purchase product samples and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can...

Desert Thunder--Speedway Illustrated December 2009

 Long before the Modified Circuit knew him, I met him. It was a long, long time ago...almost 25 years ago. He was seventeen a legend in motor-cross and destined for greater things than he'd ever imagined I met him in a sterile hospital with over-polished floors. The decor a bland grey and muted blue . I was sixteen, he was seventeen. It was seven weeks since our birthday. I don't remember him before that moment. I've written about him several times in my blog. Perhaps you remember " Reflections of a Friendship " or " Best Friends". To see him now, featured on the cover of Speedway Magazine's December 2009 issue is impressive. It's not anything I ever doubted he could do. It's not something that defines him to me. It's something that shares with the world the man I most admire--the man who is more whole, more complete than any other person I have been fortunate to meet. Enjoy this tribute written by Mike Adaskaveg and published by Speedwa...
