A Really Gross Giveaway! {CLOSED}

By on Jun 26, 2012 in Giveaways, Local San Diego | 4 comments

My boys are certifiably DISGUSTING.  Most kids are.  Jokes about farts and poop abound along with boogers and spit bubbles.  It’s a regular freak show around here.  Just recently, Nathan (one of my 6yo twins) swallowed a flat, glass aquarium rock and we waited (and watched) for days to make sure it “passed.” It did (and it now resides under his pillow). If you are going to have kids, it’s a given that life will be gross.  Well, instead of shushing the gross booger references, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is embracing the gross and are showcasing Grossology:  The Impolite Science of the Human Body. SO Cool! Sometimes it’s stinky; sometimes it’s crusty; and sometimes it’s slimy. Explore why your body produces mushy, oozy, crusty, scaly and stinky gunk at “GROSSOLOGY: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body,” our most popular exhibit ever in its 2007 visit!...

This Ain’t No April Fools!

Cheryl and I do everything together. Well, as much as two people can do together living in two separate countries. So one day she was lamenting about having an amazon.COM gift card that she couldn’t use considering that she lives in Canada (.ca users can’t use .com cards).  And then, just a few days later, I ended up with my own amazon gift card.  What are the odds?  And being that we share a brain, we decided, wouldn’t it be FUN to just GIVE IT AWAY! Yep.  We are just that cool. I mean, isn’t that what everyone does when they have some extra money laying around? So my beastie and I pooled together two amazon.COM gift cards totaling $175.00 buckaroos for ONE lucky winner.  YAY! The rules are super simple.  Leave a comment below and then tell this raffelcopter thing that you left a comment and you are IN.  Then if you want to increase your chances, then go around...

{Giveaway} Lady Antebellum’s Own The Night (CLOSED)

By on Nov 10, 2011 in Giveaways, Music | 39 comments

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Did you watch the Country Music Awards last night?  If you didn’t fall asleep with a raging headache (ahem…me) then you didn’t miss one of Country’s hottest groups, Lady Antebellum winning the CMA for Vocal Group of the Year!    I just love Lady Antebellum and am excited to tell you about their new CD and tour that is coming to a town near you. Their latest album, Own The Night was only released in September and the first single, “Just a Kiss” rose to Billboards Country Top 10 in only 6 weeks.  ”We’re definitely more in tune with each other musically and personally than ever,” said Haywood. “It’s an exciting place to be. This album was created from the ground up—we are writing these songs, playing these instruments and creating these arrangements. With OWN THE NIGHT, more than ever before, I think...

Gosh, I haven’t done a wine review post in a while now, have I?  I’ve picked up a few bottles here and there but just haven’t gotten my reviews to you.  I’m a bad wino.  But, today, I have something worth sharing and it’s VERY exciting! I am being given the chance to experience a three month membership from the California Wine Club!   Premier Membership Each wine club shipment includes two bottles of award-winning wine and our detailed and beautiful 12-page, full color publication, Uncorked. Uncorked offers an up-close and personal look at the family behind the wines plus tasting notes, recipes, wine luminary interviews, games and so much more. Let’s face it, having kids can be stressful.  Some days I really look forward to having a glass (or three) of wine after the kids go to bed so that I can unwind and just enjoy the silence.  But, I really...

Nutrilite Fruits and Vegetables 2GO! {Review & Giveaway} (CLOSED)

By on Sep 6, 2011 in ADHD, Giveaways, Product Reviews | 50 comments

Nathan will eat his weight in fruit and vegetables all day long.  No joke.  Last night he picked out all of the broccoli from his pasta dinner and ate that along with an entire bowl of cantaloupe.  I practically had to force feed him any pasta or meat.  My mom will buy him buckets of berries from Costco and he will finish it off in a day if I let him. Of course, twin brother Gabriel is the complete opposite.  He is my carb addict and would be perfectly happy eating nothing but cereal and peanut butter (no jelly) sandwich’s for the rest of his childhood. Now, I know I am very lucky with Nathan, but I struggle to get Gabriel the vitamins that he needs to stay healthy.  This is where Nutrilite’s Fruits and Vegetables 2GO come in. Too busy to eat right? Give yourself a twist. NUTRILITE® Fruits & Vegetables 2GO Twist Tubes give you the antioxidant equivalent of two of the...
