Truth Be Told Movie

My family has a love for movies.  We spend a lot of family time watching a good flick and chatting about it afterwards.  We like to pick up movies on Mondays at the video store when they are only 99 cents but there is a cheaper alternative.  Once in awhile a great movie comes on television, not cable but good old free television.

Tomorrow evening, April 16th on FOX at 8pm/7ct “Truth Be Told” will air.  “Truth Be Told” is sponsored by P&G and Wal-Mart.  The movie analyzes the point of when it is okay to lie.  Is there a lie okay to tell or not?  Really the basis of this movie is going to bring some great conversation opportunities to your family discussion time.

My oldest son had some time to watch “Truth Be Told” with me and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  I absolutely love the fact that the movie is full of clean content.  You will not find swearing, violence or other questionable material in this movie.  You can expect some subtle P&G and Wal-Mart props but it does not feel out of place.

Make sure to check out the “Truth Be Told” Family Movie Night website.  You can also watch the trailer and find the movie on Facebook.

Get Voting: Our School Needs

Fifteen schools are in the final days of voting.  They are competeing for a share of a quarter-million dollars in prize money divided among four schools in need.  The entry with the most votes will win $100,000 and the remaining three will win a $50,000 prize. The issues are from a wide variety but I won’t spoil the fun.  You can check out all of the videos yourself at the Our School Needs voting page.

The first 30,000 people who vote each day also will receive a free $3 DonorsChoose.org for their classroom of choice.  This isn’t something to frown at when you look at 50 people voting each day from October 27 to November 5 for a specific school can cash in their codes totalling $3,000.  Show me a school that couldn’t use $3,000.

Our local schools have worked with parents and other volunteers to organize a local recycling service which helps the environment but also fund playground equipment, library books and special projects that our teachers need help with.  Budget cuts affect all schools on one level or another what type of creative solutions have your schools found?

Importance of Good Oral Care

This morning my oldest son Jesse had his wisdom teeth removed.  After several appointments to the dentist in the past month with all three boys I am finally at a lull.  We have had cavities cared for, impressions made for braces and now round one with wisdom teeth extraction.

colgate014 300x225 Importance of Good Oral CareOne thing highly stressed to my boys was brushing.  Their teeth aren’t horrible but not great either.  So as you can imagine I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to work with Listerine and Reach to help spread the word about their partnership with America’s Tooth Fairy in spreading the word about “Trick or Treat for America’s Toothfairy”.    Not all kids have the benefit of good dental insurance.  In fact many do not receive dental care due to lack of funds.  If you are interested you can donate and help a child through America’s Tooth Fairy.

Listerine challenged us to brush, floss and use mouthwash twice daily for two weeks just to see the results.  I am thrilled to say our smiles are looking better.  It doesn’t take much to get results.  A little effort goes a long way.  Make sure to encourage the children you know to treasure the teeth they have!

Liz Claiborne New York Outlet Stores

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Liz Claiborne New York Outlets. All opinions are 100% mine.

At Liz Claiborne New York Outlets the entire fall inventory is being sold at 50-80% off.  When I travel to the Chicago suburbs I often go right past the Liz Claiborne outlet store. 

Right now I could sure use a stop there because this morning my puppy chewed up my favorite pair of fall boots.  I have had those boots for a few years but I think I will miss them dearly.  I am sure that the Liz store would offer me a few new options that are stylish and up to date.

Another thing I might hunt for would be a new cardigan.  With the weather taking a turn for a few chilly days I could use a cute cardigan to layer with a t shirt and keep me warm.  I would love something in a neutral khaki color as I don’t have one in that hue.  I could easily wear a khaki sweater over my scout uniform when I volunteer or with a pair of jeans out running errands.

If you have never been to a Liz Claiborne outlet I suggest you find one today and take a peek at the deals you might be missing.
