If you’re like me and grew up in the 50′s and 60′s, you’ll remember Dale Evans and Roy Rogers. Did you know they were married for more than 50 years, and lost multiple children? Dale Evans: Beyond the Happy Trails, a 2 DVD documentary tells the whole story!

Despite being a destitute, divorced, single mother at the age of 16, Dale went on to be a role model for millions of young girls. She starred in more than 100 movies and television shows and wrote 28 inspirational books, including Angel Unaware, which provoked a generation to love and care for children with special needs.

The release of this documentary coincides with the 100th birthday of Roy Rogers in 2011, and the 100th birthday of Dale Evans in 2012. Two full length feature films are included: “Lights of Old Santa Fe” and “My Pal Trigger”. There are also two episodes of “The Roy Rogers Show.” Extended interviews with those who knew the couple add special meaning to the 2 DVD Collectors Edition of “Dale Evans: Beyond the Happy Trails.”

See It Bigger Planner Review

November 21, 2011 By FabGrandma

It's pretty, too!

As much as I hate to admit it, I am getting old (er). And along with that, it is getting harder to see things. So, when I was offered a See It Bigger Planner with large print and larger spaces to write in, I was pretty happy about that.

Large spaces for writing bigger, or for writing more!

The See It Bigger Planner is designed for us older folks who need a little help visually, but I think it would have been a handy thing to have when I had all the kids living at home. The bigger spaces allow not only for writing things larger, but also for writing MORE things on each date. That bigger space could come in mighty handy for busy Mom’s, too.

Great for us "older gals"

The planner has these features:

Tabbed Monthly Calendars

Weekly Calendars
Note Pages
Contact pages
Password Records Page

The first couple of pages in the planner has space for your personal information such as name and address, Emergency contacts, and Important Contacts such as Medical, Financial, Insurance, and Household. Included are a 2012 and 2013 calendars as well.The planner comes in pink, blue, XXX

The outside cover of this planner is made of sturdy plastic, and is quite attractive. I know I will put mine to good use over the next year.

Even a pocket planner with large print!

Included in the package I received was also a purse size planner. It is a bit larger than other pocket calendars I have used, but it also has larger spaces to write information in.

BUY IT: The See It Bigger line of planners is very affordable, ranging in price from $1.99 to $8.99 and are available nationwide at CVS. They come in Navy Blue, Black and Fashion Berry Floral. They would make a great gift for Grandma or Grandpa this Christmas!

Leading Lady Full Figure and Nursing Bras Review & Giveaway

November 21, 2011 By FabGrandma

This giveaway is now closed. The winner has been notified by email. Thank you to everyone who entered.

I received a very pretty Scalloped Lace Underwire bra from the folks over at Leading Lady. Leading Lady has a wonderful selection of bras for full figure women and nursing mothers. The one they sent me wasn’t just pretty, either. It was very comfortable, and supported me the way a bra should.

It has wide, soft straps, that I didn’t spend all day adjusting like I wind up doing with other bras. These straps stayed in place, and didn’t cut into my shoulders.

The band is wider, too, and has plenty of sets of hooks to make it a better fit. It is made of a satiny knit that feels very good next to your skin.

This bra is going to be one of my favorites. It is pretty, comfortable, and provides lots of support. And that is what a bra is supposed to do.

Yep, that’s me in my new bra. Pretty, pretty, pretty.

Leading Lady is a premiere intimate apparel company dedicated to creating comfortably functional, remarkably affordable, stylish and easy to wear bras, camis, and sleepwear. A family owned and operated business, Leading Lady has been expertly tailoring nursing and full figure bras for top brands and retailers across North America for more than 70 years. For the first time, Leading Lady’s comprehensive line of nursing and full figure intimates–including sexy stretch lace wire-free and underwire bras, supportive and seamless sport and yoga bras, and cozy sleep and leisure bras–can be purchased directly on LeadingLady.com.
