Auntie Anne’s Pretzel Kit & Giveaway!!!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO

Amy Delong #159

Ever tried Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, you know, the ones that are at the mall? I have, a lot in the past,
and I absolutely love them. My favorite is the salty pretzels with mustard to dip it in, Mmmmmmmm!!! I
had the chance to try out Auntie Anne’s pretzel kit, to make the pretzels at home! Oh, how excited I
was to be able to make those delicious pretzels in my own kitchen!!

Me and my daughter made them together. It was fairly easy to make, just a lot of kneading, but simple
to put together. You have to let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, then you just start
doing your pretzel making! It is suppose to make about 10 pretzels but ours only made about 6 :) We
made them fat and big! I made half cinnamon and sugar and the other half I made salty. The kit comes
with EVERYTHING you need to make these pretzels, all in one little kit! So much fun and great to make
on rainy days with your kids! What a treat for everyone :) The only thing I disliked about this, is that
they were gone way too fast!!! Oh they were good straight from the oven!!! Now I want more…

Fiber One Prize Pack Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO

jakell m #79

One of my worst over indulgent moments with food is ALWAYS around the holidays. You have all that great food, all the wonderful, tasty desserts and I just eat and eat :) This year, I promised myself to do it a bit different. I won’t over indulge, but I will enjoy everything in moderation.

Before I eat my holiday meals, I will have a bowl of Fiber One cereal in the morning time. Yep, that is how I will help control my hunger for the holidays. What can that do, you ask? Well, for one, eating Fiber One® Original cereal can help stop hunger from taking diets off-course. Fiber helps satisfy your hunger so it’s easier to eat less and lose weight without feeling as hungry.

Fiber One Original Cereal is also a great way to incorporate fiber into mealtime recipes! For ideas, Hungry Girl is providing tips for the Fiber One Original cereal “Help Take the Hunger out of Dieting”

Did You Know…

  • One serving of Fiber One Original cereal provides more than half (57%) of the Daily Value of fiber.
  • Fiber One Original cereal is a tasty way to start your morning on the right track with 0 grams of sugar, 14 grams of fiber, 60 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.

So, fiber is a good thing and helps with keeping you full longer, so that, like me, around the holidays you can stick with your diet!!

I received some wonderful products to review and try out.  We received: a special Fiber One “Help Take the Hunger out of Dieting” prize pack that included Fiber One Original cereal, a cereal-on-the-go container, food scale, water bottle and notepad for tracking what you eat. Love everything that I got. The scale is great to measure and weigh the portions of your food, and the cereal-on-the-go container is awesome!!

Free Samples!!

The first 15 people from Shop with Me Mama, who visit the above site widget and click on Free Cereal, will get a free coupon for a box of Fiber One cereal!!!

Win It!

One person is going to win the special Fiber One “Help Take the Hunger Out of Dieting” prize pack too!!

Date Night With Wanchai Ferry® and Macaroni Grill® Dry Dinner Kits & A Giveaway!!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO JENNIFER HORN #131!!!


Wanchai Ferry® and Macaroni Grill® Dry Dinner Kits can help you recreate that special evening in the comfort of your own home. So, instead of going out for a date, stay in and enjoy yourselves at home!!

I received a date night kit that included: one Wanchai Ferry dry dinner kit, one Macaroni Grill dry dinner kit, and a $25 Visa gift card, so that me and my husband could create a fun date night, at home! With two little kids, eating out or even being able to go out, sans kids, is next to impossible for us. So this date night kit was a sheer pleasure for us!!

I prepared one of the boxed kits, I chose the Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken Dry Dinner Kit for our date night. I poured a little grape juice (no wine here :) ) and added two candles and I made a chocolate cherry cake for dessert (which the Visa gift card helped purchase!)! My kids were in the back room watching one of their favorite movies and me and my hubby just talked and enjoyed ourselves! Of course I fed our children earlier, so don’t think we let them go hungry ;)

The boxed dinner kit was delicious! All I had to do was add the chicken.  It already comes with Orange Sauce, Long Grain White Rice, Seasoned Cornstarch and Red Chilies!  All the directions are on the back of the box, so it is super easy to put together in no time! It was fresh tasting and I will definitely be eating it again in the near future. I like meals that are easy to throw together but yet, still taste really good! With these boxed kits, that is what you get, great taste and easy preparation!!

Coupons!

There are coupons online at http://www.myblogspark.com/uc/main/198d/ for $1.50 off two packages of Wanchai Ferry and/or Macaroni Grill Dinner Kit!!!!

Dinner Ideas!

Don’t forget to visit Wanchai Ferry and/or Macaroni Grill for great information and dinner tips for you!! It is always nice to grab up some dinner tips, I am always looking for those and recipes too!

Win It!

One lucky person is going to win a Wanchai Ferry and Macaroni Grill Dry Dinner Kit Prize Pack!! Wnner will get: one Wanchai Ferry dry dinner kit, one Macaroni Grill dry dinner kit, and a $25 Visa gift card!!!


How?

Easy! Just let me know who you would share this prize pack with if you won? Your husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, you get the picture!!

Explained AGAIN Why Some Of My Giveaways Ended Early…

By ·

*Warning, I swear in this post*

I received a really nasty email earlier saying this:

Subject: Ending giveaways prior to deadline…

Message Body:
In the future do not end giveaways prior to the end date you post. This is really suspicious and many followers are beginning to wonder why you do this. Recently, you ended Melissa and Doug earlier than the said date.. You announced a winner and it says the contest goes until tonight (Oct 29th) at 10pm… We will be contacting the company about this.

So, I guess my explanations of why I had to end my giveaways, did not register to this person! So, I will explain again..

I had to end some of my giveaways early, because I was not going to manually transport 500 or more comments to my new word press blog. This would have taken me hours upon hours to do, and I just cannot spend time like that on my computer, I have a family, I have two young kids. Just to give you an idea, it took me SIX months to manually copy and paste all of my 1,036 blog posts I had/have. That was a little each day, so that I could be there for my family.

I have NEVER ended a giveaway early, go ahead and check, before the blog switch. So, for someone to question MY honesty as a blogger, is RIDICULOUS. I don’t appreciate it and I will NOT stand for it. The companies that I work for are amazing and I highly doubt, because I had to end some giveaways early, would make these companies that I have built a connection with, think I was not legitimate.

I hope I clarified myself a bit more. Some people just need a bit more explaning then others, so this is for the person who emailed me (see above) and anyone else who still does not get why I had to end my giveaways early. It really should not be that big of a deal, and it amazes me that some feel that it was. I thought blogging about my decision to end them early, posting on Twitter, Facebook page AND Facebook Fan page would have gotten the word out about this, but apparently I was not thorough enough.

I hope this time I was crystal clear? If not, no need to come to my blog anymore because I DON’T need someone pestering me and treating ME badly. Get over it and MOVE the fuck on.

Great Wolf Lodge, Grand Mound Washington!

By ·

Have you ever been to the Great Wolf Lodge? You know, the place where you stay and they have a huge indoor water park? Ya, that is where we went a couple of weeks ago! I also got to meet other bloggers :) So that was really fun!!

We received an awesome discount to stay at Wolf Lodge, so we could not say no! We left on Friday and Stayed until Sunday morning. The first night we were there, the kids went trick-or-treating. We received a little map for each of my kids and we followed the map and the kids got some candy! We brought their costumes, so this was so much fun for them!

After the Trick-or-treating, we got ready and went to the indoor water park for a few hours! Oh what fun this was!! There is a wave pool, a kiddie pool, water slides and more! We could not decide what to do first! So, me and the kids went into the kiddie pool and my husband ventured off to the water slides! The kiddie pools has lots of fun things for the kids to do, like spray each other with water while sitting on cute little animals, or sliding down a little slide (there are two of those!). Or the kids can run around in a little area where they can walk through water falls and spray others that walk by too! They had so much fun! Me, I just loved to sit and watch my kids laugh and play!

After the water park, we ordered pizza and went to our room to relax! We rented a movie and oh it was nice just to be away from home and to relax :) In the morning was the blogger breakfast, at 8am. We got there kind of late, but I am so glad that we made it!! The breakfast was sooo delicious! What a wonderful assortment to choose from! I even got a swag bag for attending :) I always love those! I met some great bloggers too.

After the breakfast I stayed back with the bloggers, while my hubby and daughter went up to the room to relax. I stayed about an hour then left because my son (who was with me) announced VERY loudly that he had to go poop! LOL. So, off we went.

The day went on like the day before, we played in the water park again and just walked around and had fun in the wonderful lodge. It was so nice and the lobby and rooms and everywhere was so nice! They have a great arcade room, where we played in the first day we got there, for about 2 hours!! The kids loved it and so did my husband :)

We left Sunday morning. What a wonderful experience this was for us! We needed to get a way so badly and this was perfect!! I highly recommend the Wolf Lodge to any family. They are kind of spendy, so if you sign up for their newsletters, they will email you discounts or when they will be having better rates. I recommend doing this!

Also, for December, Wolf Lodge is having a Santa Claus jump from a plane and float down to all the excited kids!! It will also be SNOWING in the LOBBY!!!! Did I mention this is FREE for you to come and see? Yep, it is! So, this sounds like an event you don’t want to miss out on!! Look at their site for more details and what is going on at a Wolf Lodge nearest you!

I also wanted to add that Wolf Lodge has amazing and BIG conference rooms available to rent. The one we had our breakfast in, was big and could have accommodated many people. You can even get married at the Wolf Lodge! I was told that a couple did just that! The got married at the top of the slide and slide down together!!! What a memory that would be!!! So, there is so much you can do at the Wolf Lodge!!

Connect with Great Wolf Lodge on Twitter and Facebook too!!

I was given a great discount for me and my family to attend the Howl-o-Ween festivities at the Great Wolf Lodge!!

Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System with Anti-Aging Sea Serum Review!

By ·

Ever since I heard of the Clarisonic Opal, I have been wanting, so badly, to try it out! I mean a product that claims to help take care of your facial wrinkles? Oh my goodness, I am all over that!

I had the wonderful opportunity to give the  Opal a try! I eagerly awaited the Opal and when it did arrived, I could barely contain my excitement!! The Opal is really a neat product. It is sleek, and when you place it on the charger it comes with, it “clicks” on, like a magnet! The Sea-Serum lid that it comes with (comes with two) just clicks right onto the opal too, like a magnet!! So, I thought that was pretty neat :) I charged my Opal for 24 hours before using it. What you do, is take the cap off the Opal, that has the Sea Serum in it, and gently press the little button on the lid to dispense a tiny amount of the serum into the Opal Applicator on the Opal. Then you put it flush to the area you want to treat and press the button on the side of the Opal for a wonderful, gentle sonic massage! The massages last one minute, and in that one minute, the Opal provides more than 7,500 micro massages to instantly hydrate, smooth and brighten the appearance of the eye area! I also use this on my area between my eyes, you know, that dreaded area where you have DEEP lines? Yep, that area…

The Opal massages and pushes the Anti-Aging Sea Serum into the outer layers of the epidermis, leaving the area very soft and energized looking. I instantly noticed the area that I treated to be more soft and the appearance of my lines had seemed like they were flattened out. Less noticeable and more refreshed, my lines looked softer. I have been using the Opal for about 5 weeks now. I use it every single night. The lines between my eyes are significantly reduced and seem not so prominent. The Opal is wonderful and I would not trade it for anything, really.

The Opal applicator should be replaced every 90 days and the Opal Applicator tips are now available in replacement packs. You can also recycle your empty Opal Dispenser Caps too (I thought that was pretty cool!).

More About the Clarisonic Opal (taken from their site):

The Clarisonic Opal targets fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. The gentle sonic action infuses our Anti-Aging Sea Serum into the outer layers of the epidermis. In just one minute, Opal provides more than 7,500 micro massages to instantly hydrate, smooth and brighten the appearance of the eye area.

Benefits (as reported in our clinical studies)

  • Visibly improves fine lines, under–eye puffiness and dark circles
  • Immediately hydrates, leaving eye area feeling refreshed and energized
  • Eye area looks younger and smoother
  • Brighter appearance of eye area
  • Skin is firmer with a noticeable improvement in elasticity
  • Benefits improve with continued use

Anti–Aging Sea Serum

Dr. Robb Akridge optimized this serum for the dynamics of sonic infusion. Using his immunology expertise to promote skin health, he employed a multi–layered approach using marine extracts and botanicals to hydrate, firm, tighten and protect.

Our serum is gentle enough for daily use and is paraben free.

New! We’ve added an additional Dispenser Cap in every Sonic Infusion System. Kit now includes 3 Dispenser Caps totaling 1 oz. of Anti-Aging Sea Serum.

Buy It!

You can purchase the wonderful Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System with Anti-Aging Sea Serum online.

The kit retails for $245 and the kit includes:

Nature Made Prenatal Vitamins Review & Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO STEPH #50!!


Since I am actively trying to get pregnant, I was excited to learn about Nature Made Prenatal  Multivitamins with DHA, and to try them out! I was sent a 9 month supply to give them a good testing. I have only been taking them for 2 weeks now, but I can tell they are going to be a part of my daily life for the long haul in trying to conceive, pregnancy and while I breastfeed.

The Nature Made Prenatal Vitamins are quite big I noticed, but they are easy to swallow, for me anyways. They are coated and soft gels, so that is always easier to swallow as opposed to the hard pills. Nature Made Prenatal Multivitamins with DHA is the only OTC Prenatal Multivitamin + DHA in one single softgel per day.

About DHA (taken from the press release):

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid which plays an important role in brain development, especially during the critical period of fetal development and infancy. Pregnant mothers transfer DHA directly to the fetus to support rapid brain and retina development. Some studies show DHA supplementation during pregnancy increases intelligence, cognition, and visual performance in infants and young children. Recommended DHA dose is 200-300 mg/day. Nature Made Prenatal Multivitamin with DHA contains a 200 mg dose of DHA.

I was not taking any multi vitamin before this one, so I am glad that I started up again. I don’t know if I feel any different, but I know that my body is finally getting the much needed vitamins it has been needing, so I am very happy with that! There was also no burps or after taste in my mouth after taking these. I really like them, no side effects either.

Buy Them!

You can purchase the Nature Made Prenatal Vitamins with DHA online at http://www.naturemade.com

You can also grab a coupon too!

Win Them!

One lucky person is going to win their own 9 month supply too!!

How?

Skineez Review & Giveaway!!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO KELLY M #24!!!


Skineez are the only comfortable cosmetic garments that slim, tone, firm, smooth and moisturize for your skin! This is skincare that you wear.

Sounds good right???

I received the Thigh Slimmer Kit and a pair of the opaque treated knee highs to review. I was very excited to give Skineez a try because I have some really pretty dimples on my buns (being sarcastic..). So, I was eager to wear these! The first initial thought, when I opened up the package was I thought I had to use the spray that it came with, right away. That was not the case. The Skineez already has the spray on them. They come, already treated and ready for you to wear! You can wash them up to 9 times before you have to retreat them, with the spray that it comes with.

The Skineez are very comfortable and are not restricting at all. There are some body shapers out there that really squeeze you and are so uncomfortable to wear. But, the Skineez, I even wear to bed sometimes, they are that comfortable. Have I noticed a difference in my cellulite? Not really. But, when I do wear them, and I wear them under my jeans, I feel confident. They slim me down and make my butt area look tons firmer and more sculpted.  I like the comfort of them. I am sure with more time wearing them, I will see results in the cellulite area. My skin, since wearing the Skineez, does feel a lot softer, so that is great.
