DisneyNature’s Chimpanzee movie opens in theaters tomorrow and I’m so excited!  This movie looks to be one that my whole family will love.  That little Oscar is just too cute!  I mean, seriously, just look at this face.

Earth Day is on Sunday, April 20th this year, and so Matter of Cents and I thought it that Earth Day Ideas would be an appropriate Pin Me! Thursdays theme for this week.

Have an old fish bowl?  Turn it into a planter!

This weekend I had the pleasure of hosting a Cottonelle Roll Cover Party for myself, some friends, and their kids.  We got to check out the new Roll Covers designed by Jonathon Adler.  We also had the opportunity to repurpose those classic cardboard tubes into some fun new crafts!

There are so many different things you can do with cardboard tubes, but for our party, I decided we’d do two easy crafts.  The first one was finger puppets, and the second one was fairy party favors.  I thought it was perfect timing; they make great crafty Earth Day ideas, which happens to be this Sunday!   To stay in the reduce, reuse, recycle spirit, I wanted to try and use mostly – if not solely – supplies from around the house.

I received a special surprise from Nutrisystem in the mail last week, and I wanted to share it with you.  Look at this cute little guy!

Nutrisystem Bear

Isn’t he cute?  It’s my first 10 pound loss success bear!  He’s chilling out with some of the Nutrisystem Chicken Noodle soup I was going to have for lunch that day (one of my favorite lunch items).  Bubbles has already claimed him for her own, but it does make me feel good to see his flash of red around the house; visual confirmation of a goal achieved is a great reminder for reaching the next goal.

Growing up, I wasn’t what you would call a country music “fan”.  I made all the standard jokes (country music is an oxymoron, ha ha.  Wasn’t I witty?) and teased my friends who listened to the genre.  I was one of the few odd (wo)men out, as almost everyone I knew enjoyed at least a few country music artists.

It turned out that for me, country music was a lot like asparagus: give it a try, and you’ll find that you like it.  Once I actually listened to a wider sampling with an open mind I found that I liked country music very much.  Today, if you get in the car with me, you’ll find it’s always tuned in to a country station.
