I had been looking forward to posting my second edition of my “My Life Monday” probably since about Thursday. I like to be helpful and if anything I post here on Monday’s can be beneficial to someone then that makes me smile.

Today I’m going to feature a recipe that is easy-peasy! If you or your family are not very good about eating fruit then here is a recipe for fruit dip that will have you coming back for more! First of all, I’m not a fan of recipes that include ingredients that 1. I can’t pronounce & 2. that aren’t easily accessible.
So here it goes….and you don’t even need to write it down it’s so easy….. {1} package of cream cheese {any variety-I used the less fat version & you don’t even notice} & {1} container of marshmallow creme.  Use a hand-mixer on low speed until well blended & voila;  instant dipping yumminess! It’s pretty good with apples {if you’ve never tried a fuji apple….you’re missing out}; however, even more delicious with strawberries! I wonder what this dip would be like with broccoli?? If only there was a sweet dip for vegetables then maybe my kids would eat more of them!

Now I have a movie review to share. If you don’t have a Netflix membership I’ll explain a little about it. First of all, we live in an area where there isn’t a movie theatre, much less a video store, so this is the next best thing. There are quite a few movies you can watch instantly if you have internet access & our kids have loved that just as much. There are different levels to membership. We have the cheapest where you get one movie at a time for $10/mo I believe, but with an unlimited number we can get in the month and as many as we want to watch instantly. It would be nice to get two movies at a time so the kids could get a new release the same time we get ours but the instant watch movies have made up for that. Anyway…..the review. The last movie we watched was “The Time Traveler’s Wife.”  I wasn’t that crazy about it.  I wouldn’t watch it again, I guess.  It’s based on a best-selling novel by the same person who was a screenwriter for “Ghost.”  However, if you haven’t seen the movie “The Notebook” and feel like watching a “tear-jerker” romance, then that’s the movie for you!  It stars the same actress of “The Time Traveler’s Wife”-Rachel McAdams.   If it’s a romantic comedy you’re after {which my hubby even liked it & he’s a thriller, action, war movie kinda guy}, then I recommend “The Ugly Truth.”  It is rated “R” and with good reason, so watch when the kiddos are in bed! 

On a personal note…I will not be attending the guest speaker in SD I posted about last week.  I would soooo love to but with 3 youngin’s it’s just too hard to make happen being 4 hours away.  But on a happy note-I won a funky camera strap on my birthday from “My Funky Camera!”  Someday I’ll get a post on here with me sportin’ my new strap.

Well, I think that’s all from me for today’s post.  Now that you’ve made your movie selection, and have your fruit & dip to snack on…..curl up on the couch & enjoy!

Until next time……live, laugh, & love the one you’re with
