Hellmann's- WIN Tickets for Next Year's Food and Wine Classic

Hellmann’s was a proud sponsor of one of the nation’s most celebrated food festivals – the 30th Annual FOOD & WINE Classic which took place in Aspen in June.  To celebrate Hellmann's announcement of their mission to transition to 100% cage-free eggs in all its products by 2020, the brand teamed up with Chef Tim Love to offer food lovers everywhere a behind the scenes look from the Classic.

In its bid to bring REAL to fans at the Classic and those at home, Hellmann’s® created a video series featuring Chef Love that offered an exclusive insider’s look at many of the FOOD & WINE Classic’s famed events.  Designed to show home chefs how they can bring the delicious food enjoyed at the Classic to their own tables, Chef Love shared the secrets and essential ingredients that help make up some of America’s favorite dishes.


GIVEAWAY: After watching the above short video I want to GO to Food & Wine.  I see all kinds of chefs that I want to try their food.   I'm not real big on snow so Aspen has never been one of my go to places but I sure would go for this event!  Do you want to go to a Food & Wine Classic event?  If so, enter HERE and you can win various prizes including a Grand Prize Trip to next year's Food & Wine Classic event.

IKEA Makes Me Feel Like Decorating

Yesterday, Lil Mama and I went to IKEA.  She wanted to go somewhere ( Lil Man was at a sleepover) and I didn't want to spend too much money and $1 Yogurt sounded real good to me.

We went through all the pre-made rooms, sat on couches, and laid on beds.  They put these rooms together so cool.  Every time I go there I wish I had money.  I kept telling Lil Mama  "We need this and that".   It would be nice to go in there with $500 and redecorate a room in my house (who am I kidding-$1000).   I dream every time I go in there.

I WANT TO RE-DECORATE MY HOUSE!

I feel as our house is a pile of unmatched hand me downs or really OLD stuff.  I don't really have a style what so ever!  But I want one.  I want to decorate but CAN I?  Do I have the decorating gene?  IKEA makes me feel like YES I CAN.

I'm thinking when the kids go back to school I'm going to start doing projects (I say that all the time LOL). We rent so we are limited on some of things we can do but damn it I don't want our house looking like I get all my furnishing on the side of the road.  Nothing goes together and wow all the different colors.

I need to stay away from IKEA because see what it does ~makes me talk about CHANGING things up and redecorating.
