Fall is here and we have leaves all over our backyard. The kids love to make big leaf piles and jump in it.
Just a note, he is fine. A leaf stem touched his ear and he freaked. LOL!

Grilling Just got easier with Jacks Pizza
Disclosure: No compensation was received, a coupon was provided for product. All opinions are my own.
I grill just about everyday during the summer, it keeps the house cool and there is less dishes later. I never knew that you could grill a frozen pizza, but now you can.
It’s so simple to do too.
- Just heat the grill to 400, grills will vary.
- then place the pizza on the grill and close the lid.
- let it cook for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
You the have a perfect crunchy pizza to enjoy.
I thought this was so great, I don’t have to worry about the house getting to hot from the oven.
My grill is really old so it’s a bit hard to keep teh right temperature, specially with the lid closed. So my pizza came out really crispy and a bit black, but it still tasted really good.
Jacks Pizza is having a giveaway where you can win a backyard makeover. Enter here and find out more about Jacks Pizza.
Have you ever made a pizza on the grill before?
Back To School With Toys R Us Backpacks
Disclosure: No compensation at all was received for this post. All opinions are my own.
Toys R Us has all the best in toys and activities. When it comes to back to school though, they always have what the kids love. They have great deals too.
One of my most favorite deals for back to school is their buy a backpack, get a lunchbox free. We go every year and get the kids two each. They carry so much stuff that usually by the middle of the year they need a new one.
My kids love getting their favorite character backpacks, and matching lunchbox.
My kids chose Monster High, Hello Kitty and Hot Wheels. My son was so excited the Hot Wheels backpack even came with a free Hot Wheels car.
The backpacks all have enough pockets for all there school gear
Have you checked out Toys R Us back to school selection yet?

Make A Pizza On The Grill GiveawayClosed
Disclosure: Information and prize packs were provided by Pillsbury through My Blog Spark. All opinions are my own.
I have never heard of or tried to make a pizza on the grill, but you can. I am going to try.
All you need is pizza ingredients and Pillsbury Pizza crust.
It’s simple to make just
Just heat your grill (propane or charcoal) to medium heat. Then cut a aluminum foil sheet 14×14. Spray it down with cooking spray, then place dough on foil and spread. Place pizza on grill foil down, cook for 3 minutes uncovered. When bottom is golden brown remove from grill.
Using a spatula flip the crust over, so the uncooked side is down on foil. Put pizza sauce and cheese with toppings on pizza. Place foil on grill and cook 3-4 minutes covered until crust is golden brown and cheese is melting.
This was such a fun experience, my kids always want to help grill but I get nervous then being around the flames. So this was the perfect way for them to help. they put on all the toppings and I do the grilling. The pizza tasted a little different than usual, but was still really good. really crispy.
