Congratulations Bart, I am sure this will put a smile on your little Olivia’s face.

On December 11, Disney will return to their heritage of hand-drawn animated musicals with the release of The Princess and the Frog. This new movie introduces an exciting beautiful new Disney Princess named Tiana, a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.

The movie also stars Bruno Campos, John Goodman, Peter Bartlett, Keith David, Jim Cummings, Jennifer Lewis, Jennifer Cody, Michael-Leon Wooley, Terrence Howard, Oprah Winfrey, and the talented Anika Noni Rose as Tiana.

I was given the opportunity to see in depth a preview and backstage interviews with all of the fabulous stars for this anticipated princess movie, this year when I attended Blogalicious 2009 in Atlanta.  Let’s just say that after the preview showing of the movie, all of the women including myself Oohhhheddddd and Awwweeedddd and almost wept with excitement for the coming up movie.

My daughter and I already have a date planned where we will be going to watch Princess Tiana on her journey with some of her her friends and mothers.  The perfect mother daughter bonding

Which leads me to my next question…

Would you like to own a copy of Tiana’s Cookbook: Recipes for Kids?

This kid-friendly cookbook features recipes inspired by Tiana and friends in Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. It also features simple instructions, large photographs, and charming art for recipes from Tiana’s Famous Beignets to Ray’s Mud Pie.  In all it sounds like a charming and beautiful gift for a little princess to get this Christmas season.

I am giving away a beautiful copy of this adorable cookbook to one of the many that comment on this post.

I Love You!

I really do love you… and you… and you… and you… and especially you!

I love you all so much and I want to make all of your lives easier.  How does that sound to you?  Are you interested at all?

Have I peaked your interest just a little bit?!?  If I have then that’s GREAT!

I don’t know about any of you but rice is a very popular dish in my household.  If possible it would be consumed every single day… that’s right I didn’t stutter… EVERY SINGLE DAY!

First ask yourself these questions:

Do you eat a lot of rice?

Does your rice ever taste mushy and not cooked through?  Or maybe the rice is still grainy and you didn’t put enough water when boiling.

If this is you then don’t worry, because I’m here to help alongside Success Rice.  That’s right, I’m teaming up with Success Rice to help those in need of easy hassle free rice in a bag.  Each Success Rice Box contains 4 bags of rice!  Each bag contains 2 cups/servings per bag making it great for making small meals or meals for just 1 or 2!  If that doesn’t sound good then listen to some of the healthy benefits Success rice provides: cholesterol free, sodium free, fat free, trans fat free, gluten free, and a great source of folic acid. It also comes in Brown and Jasmine rice varieties!

WIN IT!

FIVE different winners will EACH win a voucher for any 14 ounce box of Success Rice.
