Free-Bee GEO Trax DVD!
I keep praying that my Zachie and MacLean will get sick of GEO Trax, but no such luck. If you’ve got little ones obsessed with that plastic railway, at least feed their love for free. Mattel offers a FREE GeoTrax “Steamer & Samuel Save the Day” DVD. I can tell you (since I’ve watched it 16,000 times) that it comes with 4 cute episodes too! Even shipping is a free-bee. To be honest, I’ve ordered twice–Zach wore the first one out. I’m serious. I have heard the death rattle of a dvd. Click here, and choose your country (on the upper right hand side.) Allow 12-14 weeks for delivery.
Hey, Whatever Happened To That One Guy?
Remember that high school sweetheart? Wonder where he is? Wonder if he’s looking for you? I was noodling around on My Life the other day and found my best girlfriend from 6th grade, a college professor who I’ve always wanted to thank, and found out an ex boyfriend was nosing around on me. (Blech on that last one.) Give it a try!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Today is cooler than Christmas at the Collard household–when you’re hard-core Scots, you take St. Patrick’s Day seriously. If you’re cooking tonight, I’m giving you my family’s most secret recipe–Mary Helen’s Magnificent Mustard Sauce. You will want to bathe in it–it’s that good. Happy St Patrick’s Day from the Collards, the MacLeans of Duart, and the Frasers!
Todd here. If I have done anything for you over the years this one thing is what you will remember me for. St Patrick’s Day is coming, and if you are doing the whole corned beef and cabbage deal as we do here it is: Mary Helen’s (Erin’s mom) Magnificent Mustard Custard Sauce. I swear I could bathe in this. (Make triple this recipe–you are going to need it)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp plain yellow mustard
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
6 tbsp white vinager
4 tbsp water
Low heat stir till thickened. Next time you see me I expect a hug, but don’t make it weird.

Win A Year’s Groceries From Hannaford
Every summer we head for The Todd’s family cottage on Square Pond in Maine. Like all Collard traditions, food is heavily involved, so we stop on our way from the airport at the Hannaford grocery store in Acton. It always bums me out that we don’t have them here in Utah–they carry the coolest stuff, tons of ready-made meals and they’re incredibly inexpensive. Even the lobsters! (Editor’s note: seriously, you don’t think I’m going to Maine and not getting lobster the first day, do you?)
Here’s your chance to win a year’s worth of groceries if you’re lucky enough to have a Hannford close by. Sign up for their nice little newsletter here and get great coupons, meal plans and recipes. You can pick their weekly flyer, wine or healthy living emails in order to qualify.

Enjoy the Big Beehive of music, the cool helicopter on the pad outside, create your own stop-motion movie, all for free! I’m warning you, there’s way too much to fit in one day, so you’ll likely end up getting a family pass, just like me. 
There’s more info here.

Win A $25.00 Kroger’s Gift Card!
The Kroger Family Stores are hosting their “Cart Buster” sales event this week–so when our friends at BlogSpark asked me if we wanted to see how far a $25.00 gift card would go, the answer was, “well, DUH!” Armed with my kind gift from BlogSpark and Kroger, I scampered down the aisles and snatched up goodies like Cascadian Farms cereal–usually $4.49 each, 2 for $5.00. I also grabbed Luvs Mega pack diapers for the local women and children’s shelter, Oil of Olay (for me, I’ve got wrinkles so deep you could use them for food storage) some Duracell batteries and Febreeze. Everything totaled? $25.53. Regular price? $43.11. Sneaky inside tip: fair warning, the Cart Buster sale at your local Kroger store ends tomorrow, (3.14.10) and I don’t want you to miss out. You’ll see amazing prices on General Mills and P&G goodies.
So, here’s the fun part: would you like a $25.00 gift card to Kroger to see how far you can stretch it? Enter by dropping a comment here on this post, and I’ll award the gift card at random tomorrow (3.14.10) Sorry for the tight turn around, but I think it’s worth it, eh?

Come Hell Or High Water, This Summer I Will…
How do we forget something that gives us so much pleasure and peace of mind?
Our summer memories: water…sun…mountains…family. How do they fade away so far that we forget them? During a very busy time last summer, I grabbed Erin from the jaws of chaos and dragged her into the Uinta Mountains to our favorite camping spot. We set up camp, got dinner going and lit the fire, as the sun waned into the tree tops and the birds found their roosts for the night.
We watched the fire, had dinner, and talked of our history in this pristine place. The stars came out–as if to impress–and they did. So many and so bright–we’d forgotten their gloriousness. We looked at each other in the firelight and had the same thought.
Where have we been?
What was better than this? We couldn’t come up an answer as the pine smoke from the fire rose up into the sky, where stars looked like diamonds scattered across the blackest velvet.
It starts with one weekend that you don’t do “the” thing you love, that turns into another, then another, and then…a year! Your fishing equipment becomes decor on the garage wall. Camping equipment, buried in a corner. Dust covers the bikes hung from the rafter.
What the HELL has happened to us? It’s not like Julie from the “Love Boat” is going to break through the door and arrange our life. It’s up to us.
Whatever your passion was, is still there. It might be steeper or colder or hotter or more bumpy than you remember, but it has always been there waiting. New adventures are great–but some of the best are waiting from our past. Tally ho!
