My family is a bunch of pork loving fools. Me? I only like Bacon. But anyhow when I heard about the Johnsonville Brat Burgers I had to get them for my family to try. Not to long ago when Jeremy was on tour he had a Brat burger at a restaurant and could not stop talking about it. When I came home with these he threw them on the grill in a hurry!
Build your best burger using Johnsonville Brat or Italian Sausage Patties, and you could win a year’s worth of groceries from WalMart in the “No Ordinary Burger Contest!” (Click for Official Rules)
Check out how we built our burgers!
I decided to build a traditional style burger, so we are calling it the All American Brat Burger!
This baby has American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Grilled Onions, Pickles and Mustard! They were a huge hit with my family! I think Lauren had hers scarfed down in a matter of minutes!
I was really impressed with how plump these burgers got as Jeremy cooked them on the grill. They literally go from the freezer to the grill with no prep needed!
Is your mouth watering? If you are looking for more Pork Recipes, then be sure to check out the Pork Be Inspired website. Also be sure to visit the Johnsonville Facebook Page to stay up to date!

I would love a trip to Disney! I’m going to try to get entered into this one in time, how about you?
I love to paint! Bringing color to the walls of your home as well as you accessories is an easy way to get a new look without spending a fortune. Sometimes it’s fun to incorporate some designs into the painting. Once upon a time this would have been something I could pull off on my own since I was an artist. These days however I couldn’t pull off the simplest of designs without help. This is where stencils come in handy!
Now, I’m not talking about those hard plastic stencils that are hard to keep in place, no…I’m talking about reusable, re-positionable wall stencils. They stick to the wall making it super easy to have diy decor in no time that looks like a pro did it! You can pull off some amazing designs that look like very expensive detailed wall paper.
You can get a lot of awesome decorating ideas by checking out the Cutting Edge Stencils website. Be sure to check out the mural stencils that they have available, they are absolutely gorgeous!
Right now Cutting Edge Stencils is trying to find a name for their newest design! They need your help! Here is the design done in different colors…
What you need to do is think up an awesome name for the new design and email it to tara.broadcastbloggers@gmail.com
There are 10 bloggers involved with the hosting of this contest. At the conclusion of the contest the 10 bloggers will be involved in the voting for the name of the new stencil design.
The winner will receive
- recognition on the Cutting Edge Stencils Blog for coming up with the most creative design name.
- a $50 one-time gift certificate, which the winner can use to choose any stencil.
- free shipping
- free 4 inch dense foam roller with handle.
The naming the new stencil contest will be open for entries until Monday, August 26th at midnight EST
Be sure to like Cutting Edge Stencils on Facebook as well. GOOD LUCK!

I was asked a question…
How do you inspire your child to learn?
That’s an easy one! In our house we encourage our kids to explore. Anything and everything that interests them. It can all be educational! We don’t allow them to say “I can’t”, they have to try..and try they do!
By allowing our girls to follow their interests in education, we are helping our children grow up more creative. They are problem solvers! They are the kind of children that will change the world. Kids need to know that they have the skills inside them to do whatever they want! They just need us to provide the tools and means.
Books! As long as a kid can read and comprehend they can learn anything. Allow your kids to read and take time to enjoy life outside! You would be surprised at what they learn! Turn off the TV! Put away the video games!
We inspire our kids to learn by letting them be kids!
