Football Pops for the Super Bowl
A few years ago, I made these Easy Football Pops for the kick off of the football season. They would be a fun treat to add to your Super Bowl Party menu., Not only do they take only a few minutes to make, my kids loved them. You can see how I made my Football Pops on this post here.
Football Pizza - Feature of the Day
The Super Bowl is now just a few days away, so many people are thinking about football and snacks. This year's game will sure be interesting, since it is being held in New Jersey during the one of the coldest winters in recent memory. If you are having friends and family over for the big game, a fun thing to feed them would be this football pizza by Summer Scraps. It is surprisingly quick and easy to put together, and makes an ordinary pizza a little more exciting. You can see how to make your own football pizza for your Super Bowl party over at Summer Scraps here. Thanks so much for linking to Dare to Share Summer!

Save Money on Textbooks
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Campus Book Rentals. All opinions in this post are 100% mine.
As many of you know, we just finished a school semester this past week. It was quite busy the last several days with midterms and final projects. College has really been on my mind lately, because my oldest daughter is a junior in high school. Time is really flying, and she will graduate before we know it. It is now time to start thinking about where she wants to go, and how we are going to pay for it. College is expensive, and one very big expense is college textbooks.
So when I was asked by CampusBookRentals.com to share about their program for the upcoming semester, I was more than happy to. We will be worrying about textbooks in a matter of months, and will need to find a ways to save money There are so many advantages to renting your college textbooks instead of buying them. Here are just a few;
- you save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
- there is free shipping both ways
- flexible rental times
- they donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented
Have you heard about Operation Smile? It is a wonderful organization that helps saves childrens' lives all over the world by surgically fixing cleft lips and cleft palates. This organization gives these children that would struggle through life their smiles.
Another great thing that CampusBookRentals is doing is their rent back program that you can learn more about at rentback.com. You can earn money by renting textbooks that you already own to other students. You can make 2-4 times more by renting them out, than by selling them back to the bookstore.
Want to know even more about CampusBookRentals? Check out this video explaining how the program works.

Happy Birthday Flashback
It is my oldest daughter's birthday today. She has asked for us to take her to her favorite Sushi restaurant for her birthday dinner for the forth year in a row. It's been a few months since I have had sushi so I am excited about it. I thought it might be fun today to reshare one of her favorite cakes on the blog today. I can't remember what flavor it was, but it was decorated with Sweet Sushi, and a pair of chopsticks. You can see how to make sushi that kids will be wiling to eat here.

Polar Bear Cookies - Feature of the Day
Are you being affected by the second Polar Vortex of the past few weeks? The temps are dropping fast here, and will be in single digits in just a few hours. Brrrr! It is not as cold as the last one, but it is enough to make me super tired of ice, snow and cold. Since we feel like we are in a great white tundra, I thought it was the perfect time to feature these adorable Cinnamon Polar Bear Cookies by Krystle of Baking Beauty These cookies would be great to serve at a snow themed party, or just because you like cookies.
