If you have been watching “The Good Wife” then you know that the show is getting really good. Every episode has been full of drama and leaving fans on the edge of their seats waiting for what happens next.
The Good Wife stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick, a wife and mother who reinvents her life following her husband’s sex and political corruption scandal. Four years into her tenure at the law firm of Lockhart/Gardner, Alicia accepts a prestigious partner offer from her bosses, Diane Lockhart, Will Gardner and David Lee. However, a mutual attraction with Will leaves Alicia conflicted after she agrees to renew her vows with her husband, Peter, who has won the gubernatorial election with the help of campaign manager Eli Gold. After much thought, Alicia agrees to leave Lockhart/Gardner to start a new firm with her colleague, Cary Agos, who is unable to convince investigator Kalinda Sharma to join them. Now, Alicia must find a way to balance her evolving career, her new position as First Lady of Illinois and her roles as a wife and mother to her teenage children, Zach and Grace. Emboldened by the prospect of taking control of her future, Alicia bravely ventures into unknown territory
The Next episode is entitled ” Hitting The Fan”
It is the most explosive episode yet. Here are some details on the episode:
Alicia and Cary’s plans to depart Lockhart/Gardner are suddenly exposed and a desperate battle to retain clients ensues.
The show will air on Sunday October 27th at 9PM ET.
Thinking about the upcoming episode, you have to decide which team you are on. Team Lockhart/Gardner or Team Florick/Agos?
I think I would have to be on team Florick/Agos, I think it’s great that Alicia is branching out and starting her own firm. She is doing everything she should be to help her family and herself. after all she couldn’t stay at Lockhart/Gardner law firm with her attraction to Will, it will only cause problems with everyone.

Disclosure: I received Heinz, Johnsonville and Ocean Spray products in exchange for sharing this recipe. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
One meal my kids absolutely love to eat, is anything made with meatballs. So far the only meal I have been able to perfect is spaghetti and meatballs. Whenever I try to make a meatball hero it doesn’t turn out right. I just haven’t found the right ingredients.
I was given the chance to try Ultimate party Meatballs. It is a simple recipe to make in the slow cooker. All you need is…
Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce
Heinz Chili sauce
Meatballs
Place meatballs in slow cooker
Combine sauces and pour over meatballs
Cover and cook 4 hours on high
It’s that simple to make. Plus not a big mess to clean up afterward, if you use slow cooker liners.
*They really turned out great, Just the right amount of flavor. We made meatball subs and decided to even have a few as a appetizer before our meal. I received a coupon to try Johnsonville’s new frozen meatballs with this recipe, unfortunately they are not available in my area yet. We ended up making our own meatballs with ground sausage.
This would be a great recipe to make this holiday and enjoy. For more information visit here.
Disclosure: This is a compensated post with Kleenex brands. All opinions are my own.
There have been so many times I have not had a tissue nearby to wipe my nose and have used my sleeve or arm. It’s gross I know, but it happens. I did it a lot as a child and teen. It’s easier to just have your sleeve your arm to wipe your nose.
As a mother people always looked at me weird,because I would wipe my child’s nose with my fingers. As a mom you do everything for your infant, and if I didn’t have a kleenex tissue on hand. I had to do the ext best thing, but of course I washed my hand.
The hardest part now that my kids are older is knowing when the flu season will hit our area. It just feels like kids are always sick at school and it gets spread around fast. Kleenex is introducing Achoo by Kleenex. It’s a cold and flu predictor.
Visit www.my-achoo.com to access a cold and flu forecast for your area. Simply enter your zip code or city and state, and achoo by Kleenex cold and flu predictor will show you your cold and flu risk for the next three weeks so that you can prepare for what’s ahead.
Disclosure:I am a Fox Home Insider and received products for review and giveaway. All opinions are my own.
I am one of the new Fox Home Insiders and am so excited that I get to share these great movies with my readers. My kids love to be able to see all the new movies and characters.
1 of my readers will win:
1 copy of Shrek The Musical on Blu-ray
1 copy of Kung Fu Panda: The Scorpion Sting
1 copy of Monsters Vs. Aliens: Cloning Around
Halloween is just around the corner and these movies all have characters that would make perfect costumes.
Shrek The Musical:
The greatest fairy tale never told comes to life as never before in DreamWorks’ Shrek The Musical, the highly acclaimed Broadway production based on the smash-hit movie. Called a “triumph of comic imagination” (Elysa Gardner) that “never stints on spectacle or laughs” (David Rooney), Shrek The Musical received eight 2009 Tony Award nominations including Best Musical, winning Best Costume Design of a Musical (Tim Hatley) and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Show Album.
Shrek
Shrek may not want to welcome visitors to his home in the swamp, but this big green ogre would make a fun guest in your home this Halloween! Although he puts up a tough front, Shrek has a soft spot in his heart for those he cares about, especially Donkey and Fiona. This goofy guy brings the laughs with his Scottish-Irish accent and one-liners! He’s also great for scaring off enemies with his stinky breath, huge size, and frightening yell.
Monsters vs. Aliens: Cloning Around
Get ready for a world of hilarious monster mischief and alien antics in this all-new animated TV series inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s ginormous hit movie Monsters vs. Aliens. Join team leader Susan, muscle-bound Link, ingenious Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D., and B.O.B., the gelatinous blob, as the residents of the government containment area embark on fun-filled adventures under the not-too-watchful eye of General Monger!
B.O.B
B.O.B., short for Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate, got his name when he was accidentally created in a laboratory from some scientists experimenting with chemically- and genetically-altered food products. This one-eyed blue blob was held in captivity in Area Fifty-Something for decades, but he still has a friendly personality and contagious smile. Since B.O.B is a large gelatinous mass, he can change his shape easily and absorb any object. Although he has no brain, B.O.B. is quite intelligent! This big, blue blob is exactly the person you want by your side on a creepy Halloween night.
Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.
An intellectual mad scientist, Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. is known for bursting into psychotic laughter while completing his experiments. But, don’t be fooled. Dr. Cockroach has not always been this way. In the 60’s he developed a device that would allow humans to live a lifespan similar to that of a cockroach. When his creation went wrong, Dr. Cockroach came away with the head of a bug and the ability to climb walls and digest garbage just like cockroaches. His intelligence and lifespan make him a force to be reckoned with!
Kung Fu Panda: Scorpion Sting
Get ready for more high-kicking action and fur-flying fun in this awesome animated TV series based on the Academy Award®-Nominated hit movieKung Fu Panda*! He may not be your typical warrior, but Po packs an arsenal of martial arts skills as big as his heart…and his stomach. Always ready to fight for what’s right, Po and the Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Crane and Viper—face exotic dangers at every turn, including a pair of magic shoes with an evil “sole,” and Scorpion, one of the sharpest villains in all the land!
Po
The courageous dragon warrior, Po Ping, is always up for a new adventure. Although Po is not your typical Kung Fu warrior, he uses his personality and his strengths to solve problems and protect those who need him most. He has an excitement for life and is determined to be the best warrior that he can possibly be. Sometime Po can be a little immature and rambunctious, but he has a kind heart and knows the importance of family.
Tigress
A vital member to the Furious Five, Tigress has unmatchable strength and bravery. She is a master at Kung Fu and at one point was considered to be destined for the title of Dragon Warrior. Although her short temper can still appear sometimes, Tigress has learned to be more friendly and calm. At times she is quiet and less sociable than the other members of the Furious Five. Overall, she possesses a strength and dignity that makes others admire her.

Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post. A product was provided by Scholastic. All opinions are my own.
My kids are always playing their Leapfrog Leapster Explorers everyday, they have almost beaten every game we have. Every time they come out with a new game my kids are begging for it.
There are so many games we still don’t have, but my kids will be adding them all to their holiday lists.
When they came out with The Magic School Bus Oceans for the Leapster, we immediately got it for my daughter. She is really into science and loves The Magic School Bus series. Scholastic has now released The magic School Bus Dinosaurs Leapster/LeapPad game.
This game encourages children to think like scientists as they learn about prehistoric creatures. Kids travel back in time with Ms. Frizzle to the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods, playing six games that teach fundamental life science concepts and hundreds of facts about sixteen prehistoric creatures. The game focuses on using identification, observation and classification skills to teach facts about dinosaur skeletons, their size, survival strategies and the time periods in which they lived. Players also can earn badges for achievements during game play.
Teaches:
Dinosaur Facts
Life Science
Logic and Reasoning
Observation Skills
This game is recommended for K-4th grade or ages 5-9, but it seemed a little to easy for my 3rd grader. Mrs. Fizzles class as crazy as she is takes the kids back in time, to visit the dinosaurs. You play 4 mini games to unlock a dinosaur. The games are very simple, finding a certain dinosaur and taking pictures, dinosaur puzzle and more. When the puzzles are finished you unlock a dinosaur. The first it showed was a T-Rex, and then Arnold from Mrs. Fizzles class became a T-Rex, it was really funny. You guide him through a maze to eat plant eating dinosaurs. There are 16 dinosaurs to unlock.
You can find The Magic School Bus Dinosaurs at Scholastic or Leapfrog for $24.99
I love the show 2 broke girls. I know it’s all acting and scripted, but it really reminds me of my life when i was a teen and growing up. We have always been in the low-income bracket and struggled, even now I still struggle. When I was 18 though and I finally moved on my own was so hard.
I moved into a low-income subsidized apartment, that I had to spend 75% of my time there killing cockroaches. I was working at a thrift store at the time and wasn’t making much, so I lived off of ramen and frozen pizzas. I would go to my moms house and ask Can I have this and raid her kitchen. The best part about being on my own was no rules and my apt. had great view of a big hill mountain thing. LOL! When you live like that you don’t take anything for granted.
2 Broke Girls is a comedy about the unlikely friendship that develops between two very different young women who meet waitressing at a diner in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and form a bond over their dream of one day owning their own successful cupcake business. Only one thing stands in their way – they’re broke. Sarcastic, street-smart Max Black met the sophisticated, school-smart Caroline Channing when the uptown trust fund princess was having a run of bad luck due to her father’s Wall Street scandal, which caused her to lose all her money and forced her to give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as an entitled rich girl, but she’s surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max’s knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she visualizes a lucrative future for them and they begin to save money to reach their start-up money goal of $250,000. As the girls’ cupcake tally expands week-to-week, they become closer to their goal and to each other. At the diner they are surrounded by their offbeat, colorful “work family”: Oleg, an overly flirtatious cook; Earl, a hip 75-year-old cashier; Han, the eager-to-please owner of the diner; and Sophie, the girls’ outrageous upstairs neighbor. As Max and Caroline climb toward their goal, we see that their “smarts” plus their “hearts” might just be the recipe for success.
2 Broke Girls is moving to a new time Mondays at 8:30/7:30 c on CBS
