Last week I wrote about the #FrozenChefMadness challenge. It’s a chance for you; yes you, to win $800, $250, $150 or $100 for creating an original dish using items from the frozen foods section. For my dish I pondered the situation of people who love BBQ shrimp, but want it in an enclosed sandwich form with tater tots on the outside. It can’t be done you say? Read on and taste the March Madness.

This is a sponsored post. I am a Kmart blogger, though all opinions are my own. At the end of a long cold winter areas that need improvement are more apparent. In our home they may not be bad areas, but just rooms that need something new. Granted certain areas, specifically the ones where the children tend to play or watch television are those that need the most new things. The Kmart Semi Annual Home Sale can hook you up with the accessories, or the main components to fully bring it from gloom to room.

My wife and I had the sing song discussion prior to having children. That discussion was essentially that we would not ‘baby talk’ to our kids. The Thingy Things book series by Chris Raschka may seem like a very basic, baby style book based on its cover. However, as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover. These books are creative, goofy stories about animals-all the while using bigger vocabulary that your child can understand, but may not have seen in books yet.

Frozen foods are a constant in our house. You need to cook fast with two small kids and food at the ready is mandatory. March is Frozen Foods Month and to help celebrate it they’re having #FrozenChefMadness with hundreds of dollars in prizes to the winner who create the most thrilling dishes.

Our boys are raised on Leap, Tad and the other critters that make up the LeapFrog videos. We started teaching phonics to our oldest and I partially credit their phonic usage in his being able to read sight word and fully know his A, B, Cs as well as he does. Their latest video, Letter Factory: The Letter Machine Rescue Team gets the band back together, but also amps up the education while tweaking the format.

We love avocados in our house. It’s nature’s butter and is great on anything. Additionally, the lifespan of an avocado is frustrating, it’s perfect for seemingly one day and then it’s too ripe to eat all of it. So, what is the best way to cut an avocado? Using a spoon to scoop out the avocado never felt like the right way to do it. It wastes too much, takes take too long and produces a mash of avocado that was tasty, but had very poor presentation.
The other day we reviewed Hasbro’s Marvel Super Hero Mashers. It’s a mash-up action figure that allows you to put heads, arms and legs onto the torso of other super heroes. That way you could have a Doctor Doom/Spidey/Hulk/Thor figure that would be an angry Norse God with a metal mask that can swing from webs. The creation is up to you, but we’re also giving one Marvel Super Hero Mashers away.

The Olympics are a fun time because there is always a dependable answer to ‘what’s on television?’. You may not even know the sport or how it’s played, but the odds are that it’ll be interesting to watch. If you gather a couple friends then you can marvel at the speed, danger or athleticism of the sport and debate which you’d be best at. For the record I’d love to try skeleton. To help inspire our Olympic Moments, Mike’s Hard Lemonade supplied us with product and a gift card. All thoughts are our own.
