What are you doing to enrich your summer? Read about how Ron Beckenfeld enriched his LIFE(and the lives of others) by creating a quick dissolving vitamin

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Superior Source Vitamins.

I have been a HUGE fan of Superior Source Vitamins for quite some time only to learn about the founder and CEO of this fantastic company!

As a young man Ron Beckenfeld, the owner of Superior Source Vitamins, was into fitness, always worked out, and wanted to stay healthy. So finding the right vitamins seemed like the perfect fit for him when deciding to go into business.

Ron started selling vitamins out of the trunk of his car in 1964 and in 1969 he started Continental Vitamin Company; it became a life-long passion to establish a supplement company that cares about health.

In 1998 he started Superior Source MicroLingual® due to his concern about his father’s Parkinson’s condition. “When my father developed Parkinson’s, he already had a heart condition. I realized he had problems swallowing traditional large tablets, which inspired me to find a way to help my dad and others who had similar problems swallowing the vitamins they needed.”

“My dad had nitroglycerine tablets, which are very small and dissolve instantly, and he asked me why I couldn’t make vitamins like these. This was the “ah-ha!” moment that started the evolution of instant dissolving tablets, and Superior Source was born.”

“I was also concerned about all the additives and excessive amount of other ingredients found in conventional vitamin tablets, so decided to create a vitamin that was small and pure where potency isn’t lost in the high acid environment of the stomach.”

Ron started with a B-12 quick-dissolving soft-molded tablet and continued to develop an entire line of clean and pure MicroLingual® instant dissolve tablets where users didn’t have to worry about swallowing.

“So here I am 50+ years later, still passionate and profoundly providing people with vitamin tablets that are easy to take anywhere with no water necessary and absorbed quickly into their systems.”

Ron enriched his life and is still going strong! These vitamins are so easy to swallow. Now thanks to SSV and Ron, we are having a great giveaway!

Patriotic Pound Cake Trifle

Get ready for the 4th of July celebrations!

Living in the good ole USA, we have many holidays to honor our country and the men and women who serve in our military.  This colorful and festive pound cake trifle is easy to make and a great way to show you care.



2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour cream
2 cups cake flour
8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
container of whipped topping (thawed)
2 pints of fresh blueberries
2 pints fresh strawberries, stems removed


Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Lightly grease a tube pan (Bundt), then line the bottom with wax paper.  Set aside. We are about to make this cake!

Grab a large mixing bowl and your electric mixer and let's start making this pound cake. Beat butter while adding the sugar. Beat in the eggs, ONE AT A TIME!  Then, add the vanilla extract. Beat in sour cream and cake cake.  Mix until everything is combined.

Pour batter into tube cake pan and bake in the oven for one hour and 20 minutes.  Remove and let cool completely (yes, I know this is hard.  Just walk away from the pound cake for now.

In a mixing bowl combine the softened cream cheese and the can of condensed milk'.  Fold in the whipped topping. and set aside.  I said SET ASIDE. This is your custard.

Now, back to the pound cake.  Start cutting it into cubes and use half of the cake on the bottom of your trifle. Add a layer of blueberries and then half the custard.  Cut some of the strawberries in half and start placing them inside of the trifle on top of the custard,  Add another layer of the cake, then the custard.  To top it all off slice strawberries and layer them inside the trifle .  Place remaining blueberries in the center of this masterpiece!  let it set in the fridge for about 2 hours before you serve.

I will admit I have used a store bought pound cake to make this dessert, since most grocery stores have a bakery,  a variety of pound cakes is always  available.  This is great when time is a factor!

Connecting Eligible Households to the Internet

The Federal Communication Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program helps millions of households get and save on internet service

(Family Features) High-speed internet service is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for everyone, everywhere.

From doing homework to using telehealth, working remotely, connecting with family and friends and more, internet is needed for everyday life. High-speed internet has become an important part of how people live, communicate, work, learn and more, but the cost can make it hard for many to afford.

To help ensure all Americans can share in and contribute to today’s internet-based society and economy, Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) under the 2021 bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Launched Dec. 31, 2021, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) oversees the program to help eligible households gain access to affordable high-speed internet service.

“For many households, the cost of groceries, gas and rent can eat up the monthly budget, putting internet access out of reach,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said. “The ACP is the nation’s largest-ever broadband affordability effort, supporting internet connections in millions of households. That’s progress, but we want to do more to get out the word about this powerful program and reach families that may not know about this benefit.” 

How the Program Works
The ACP provides eligible households a savings of $30 per month toward internet service or $75 per month for eligible households living on qualifying Tribal lands. Taking part in the ACP could make internet service free if the savings covers the entire price of the plan. Eligible participants will not receive additional money back if their bill is less than the discount. Participating providers apply the monthly savings directly to internet bills for households enrolled in the ACP.

Eligible households can also receive a one-time savings of up to $100 to buy a laptop, desktop computer or tablet from participating providers. The program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household (a group of people who live together and share money even if they are not related).

As of June 2023, more than 18 million households have enrolled in the program and are connected to the high-speed internet services they need for work, school, health care and more.

How to Enroll
There are two steps to enroll in the ACP:

Step 1: Visit GetInternet.gov and submit your application or print out a mail-in application. Households with questions about eligibility or how to apply, or need to request a paper application, can call the ACP Support Center at (877) 384-2575.

Step 2: If approved, contact your local internet provider to select a plan and have the discount applied to your monthly bill. Use the Companies Near Me Tool at GetInternet.gov to find participating internet service providers in your area by city and state or zip code. Consumers can select the type and level of internet service that best suits their needs.  

The ACP protects consumers by allowing households to choose an internet service plan that meets their family's needs. Consumers also cannot be denied service because of their credit score or prior debt with a provider, and households enrolled in the ACP can switch providers and plans without incurring additional fees or penalties for early termination.

For a full list of eligibility requirements and more information, visit GetInternet.gov.

Eligibility Requirements
Ways households can qualify for the ACP include:

• Their household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, about $60,000 a year for a family of four or $29,000 a year for an individual
• Anyone in the household, including children or dependents, participates in certain government assistance programs like SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, Federal Housing Assistance or other programs
• Anyone in the household already receives a Lifeline benefit

A household may also qualify for the ACP through a participating provider’s existing low-income program.
