Okay, so whenever I am on Facebook, (which is probably around 3,249,204 times per day) I see ladies absolutely gushing over Johnny Depp. I mean going completely gaga over the man! If this is you, I have got some eye-candy for you. Yep! There is a brand new trailer for The Lone Ranger, which rides onto the big screen on July 3, 2013.

Haven't heard of this movie yet? Here is the low-down for you:
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.  Native American warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

“The Lone Ranger” also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.

A Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films presentation, “The Lone Ranger” is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, with screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Justin Haythe and screenplay by Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. “The Lone Ranger” releases in U.S. theaters on July 3, 2013.

Doesn't that sound awesome?! I know my husband is really looking forward to seeing this film.

THE LONE RANGER rides into theaters on July 3rd!

As the proud mama of 2 toddlers, it's always fun to see what celeb moms choose for their babies. Some of the products look amazing, but let's be real here...Who can really afford to deck their tot out in Prada, Chanel, and Gucci? I know I sure can't. (Guess I should have bought that PowerBall ticket, after all!)

So when I heard that Alyssa Milano trusts the AVEENO® Baby Wash & Shampoo for her son, Milo, I was definitely curious, as well as surprised. To see an A-list celebrity gush over products the average parent can actually afford is definitely refreshing. But I did a little research, and this product sounded wonderful. This tear-free, soap-free, paraban-free formula cleanses, nourishes and soothes baby’s sensitive skin and hair without drying.

So when I got the opportunity to try Aveeno Baby products for myself, I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about. I mean, it's got to be good if celebs who can afford high-end, spa-like baby products choose Aveeno, right?

The BIG BAD WOLF is back—and funnier (but not scarier) than ever!
A wolf deserves a vacation too! Bernard, the ferociously funny wolf and clever, cookie-munching hero of Delphine Perret's award-winning book, certainly thinks so. So when he learns that his pal Louis is vacationing by the sea with his grandpa, Bernard wants to go too. He promises not to eat any children along the way (he’s a vegetarian).

Soon they're off on a wacky road trip complete with car seats filled with cookie crumbs and lots of laughs along the way.  The trip culminates with the perfect day on the beach where the three joyfully race into the sea.

Whew! After a long, bitterly cold winter, I am happy to say that I have finally packed away all of my sweaters, long sleeved shirts, and coats. I think spring has finally sprung here in NE Ohio, so I am breaking out my sundresses, shorts and sandals! (It's about time!)

My preferred apparel in the warmer months would definitely have to be cute, feminine dresses. For one, they're super-easy...Just slip them on, add some accessories, and voila! You've got a great, pulled-together look. (And you don't have to dig through the laundry your husband never put away,  desperately searching for clothing that matches, when that just happens to be his only household chore...But I digress...)  I also love pairing skinny jeans or shorts with cute blouses or tank tops.

Even though I have a pretty large wardrobe, I have found myself in need of an update. This season is all about bright colors, hot prints, and of course, loads of feminine detail. Now if vibrant colors, ruffles and lace isn't a good enough reason to do some shopping, then I don't know what is!

Recently, I discovered a wonderful clothing shop called Bella Ella Boutique. They have tons of the hottest spring and summer styles, from dresses to tops to skinnies to accessories...They even have a nice section for curvier gals!

There is nothing quite like lounging outdoors by a clear pool and enjoying the fresh, sunny air.  If you own a soft and comfortable patio furniture set, it can make your time by the pool relaxing and serene.  While many of these comfortable furniture pieces can be rather expensive, it’s important to take care of them and keep them
well maintained.  Proper maintenance and care will ensure that it will last for many years.  When caring for your furniture, you want to make sure that you clean, maintain, and repair the furniture pieces on a regular basis.

Cleaning

The best product for cleaning your pool deck furniture is simply a mixture of water and mild soap.  This inexpensive cleaning mixture works well on all types of pool furniture, including wicker, paint, and metal.  As your furniture ages, and is exposed to continuous sunlight, chlorine, chemicals and suntan lotion, you may need to use something stronger.  Avoid using bleach, however, as it can damage your furniture if used improperly.  Unless you store your pool furniture in a shed or covered area, it may be continuously exposed to the elements as well.  After the rain,
wind, and dust storms have hit, there is bound to be a layer of thick dirt and grime covering all of your beautiful pool furniture.  If this should happen, clean your furniture with a strong cleaning solvent; however, avoid spraying furniture that has exposed wood.  Make sure that you wipe down your pool furniture each time that it is exposed to water, including the sprinklers.

Maintenance

Instead of repairing all of your damaged outdoor pool furniture, you can take measures to ensure that it doesn’t get damaged in the first place.  Here are several ways that you can stop this damage before it starts:

• You can buy round or square guides, which will help to protect your floor from scratches caused by lawn chairs.  Check the bottom of your chair’s feet in order to find the particular shape of the guide. You can also trim the guide in order to make it fit properly.
• Cover all exposed chair legs and chair tubing.  Tubing inserts are important because they prevent rust corrosion, which often occurs on chairs that are exposed to humidity or water.
• Be on the lookout for splitting and cracking of the mesh or vinyl straps of your pool furniture.  If splitting does occur, then call a reputable outdoor furniture repair service, or you can complete the project yourself.

Repairs

Worn out furniture repairs usually consist of replacing the mesh or vinyl sling, and re-strapping the sling into its original spot.  This can be a difficult job to accomplish alone because it requires a professional to actually stretch the vinyl across the chair and insert it in the other side.  You could ask for a friend’s help, or call an expert to help you out with the job.

Certainly, you can save a lot of money by repairing your pool furniture yourself; however, you may not receive the professional look that you had envisioned for your quality pool deck furniture.  Some things are best left to the experts.
