Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, clandestine friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up to and begins to finally find his place in the world – all during a summer he will never forget.

Celebrate National Strawberry Shortcake Day with Driscoll’s Berries #Giveaway

June13th By 43 Comments

June 14TH is National Strawberry Shortcake Day. That’s my kind of holiday! One of my earliest memories is enjoying fresh strawberries right from my grandmother’s garden. A love that has stayed with me through the years. In-fact whether it’s fresh berries, dessert or jam, Strawberry seems to always be at the top of my list.

History: Did You Know?

  • The first recorded Strawberry Shortcake recipe published by Eliza Leslie in The Lady’s Receipt-Book in 1847.
  • Botanically speaking, the strawberry is not classified as a true berry but is a member of the rose family.
  • Driscoll’s founders began growing sweet, flavorful strawberries in Pajaro Valley, California back in 1904.
  • Approximately 2 out of 3 American households consume fresh strawberries, totaling approximately 1 Billion pounds per year. That’s an average of 12 pounds of delicious, fresh strawberries per person.

    • One thing I like about serving Strawberry Shortcake is that it can be fancy or simple, and equally delicious.

    The secret is the berries. Driscoll’s Berries!

    berries0869

    A product of the U.S.A. Driscoll’s Berries are picked ripe, juicy and full of flavor. Our teenage daughter has always chosen healthy foods over empty calories, so we often have a bowl of strawberries, black berries and raspberries cleaned, and ready to eat in our fridge. They go perfect with breakfast or even as a snack on their own.

    National Strawberry Shortcake Day is one holiday this mom can’t let pass without proper celebration! Time being a real issue this week, I decided to purchase some already made pound cake and whip topping.

    The Driscoll’s Berries were delicious. Very juicy and sweet. I really like that I was able to use every berry from the package. Unlike brands I have previously purchased.

    To whip up a quick dessert, I mashed about 25% of the berries, cut and mixed in the rest. That’s it! There was no need to add sugar, or even let them sit over night.

    I’m not sure which is the better judge, the smiles I saw while my family enjoyed dessert together, or the empty plates. Both tell me Strawberry Shortcake with Driscoll’s Berries was a hit.

    Another reason to smile is sharing the goodness of Driscoll’s Berries!

    One lucky Five Dollar Shake reader will win $20 in Driscoll’s Berries Product Coupons! Enter to win by using the widget below. If you have any issue with the widget or would like to enter by email, please contact me at shakingit@gmail.com.

    June9th By 52 Comments

    #spon: I’m required to disclose a relationship between our site and Oral-B. Oral-B may have provided us with content, product, access or other forms of payment. All opinions are my own.

    Oral-B power is celebrating the Power of Dad this Father’s Day for all the great moments and smiles they’ve brought to their families’ lives. Oral-B wants to give him the power to keep smiling – with the help of Oral-B power brushes (and $7 off coupon)!

    From playful childhood moments and heartfelt milestones or even getting walked down the aisle, dads help make these moments special. Father’s Day is a great opportunity to say thank you for all the ways Dad made you smile!

    In honor of dads everywhere, Oral-B will be donating $25,000 to March of Dimes! Take a moment to watch the above Power of Dad video and visit the Power of Dad website to watch favorite dad inspired moments.

    Don’t forget to print your $7 coupon!

    I’m blessed with a wonderful father, and step dad. Both men give me plenty of reasons to celebrate Father’s Day each year. I guess their kindness, and fun personalities are the reason it’s no surprise I chose a husband that is also a fantastic, and caring dad. Wither it’s a special occasion, time to fish, or play guitar, being there for our daughter is always a priority for my husband.

    Knowing that I’m far from the only one with an amazing dad and husband, Oral-B would like to make one Five Dollar Shake reader’s smile even brighter, by sending them a free Oral-B Deep Sweep TRIACTION™ 1000 power toothbrush, a retail value of $64.99.

    The Oral-B Deep Sweep has a unique combination of sweeping and stationary bristles that removes up to 100% more plaque vs. a regular manual toothbrush, while also helping to prevent and reverse gingivitis so dad can continue to smile strong.
