Win A Blacktop 360 Grill Fryer!

2012-01-25T22:45:00.000-08:00

I reviewed the 360 Party Hub earlier this week. The Grill-Fryer is packing over 24K in BTUs and a ridiculous 452 square inches of cooking surface. There's no assembly required so you can spend your precious extra minutes marinating up perfectly marbled meat medleys for your mates. It folds up fast and fits easily into the durable storage bag, so you can hit the road before the fuzz make the

The Party Hub!

2012-01-21T22:04:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you, but I like to grill out. I hate not being able to make everything on the grill though. I love onion rings and my kids love fries. And steamed green beans? They're one of our favorites! I always go inside to cook them and I miss out on being "outdoors" and hanging out with our friends. With my new Blacktop 360 Party Hub Grill-Fryer, I can do it all! Or my husband can.

Not Your Grandma's Pressure Cooker!

2012-01-20T20:44:00.000-08:00

If you've never used a pressure cooker, you don't know what you're missing. I've had one all of my adult life. I grew up listening to the sizzle of the pot on the stove, knowing my mom was making something yummy, despite having worked long, hard hours away from home. I love the fact that I can start with frozen anything, and it can be falling off the bone within thirty minutes,

Zeiss Lenses: Experience Life to the Fullest!

2012-01-18T23:00:00.000-08:00

I don't get my eyes examined as often as I should. I have vision insurance, but I find it hard to take the time to actually spend a day (which it takes for our family of four) to get our eye examinations and eyewear. I am aware that eye examinations are an important part of health maintenance. Having the right lenses is critical to seeing and experiencing life to the fullest! More than once,

Bubble Gum Art Co.

2012-01-15T22:09:00.000-08:00

I never really cared for caramels. They're good, but they stick to your teeth and threaten to remove teeth or fillings with each and every bite. At least that's the case with the store bought caramels I've tried. When I first spotted Bubble Gum Art Co.'s caramels on Etsy, I thought they looked good. I wasn't sure if I would be tempted to eat more than a few. As I said before, I never really

2012-01-13T17:57:00.000-08:00

I can't get by with just one pair of glasses. I usually wear contacts if we are out or if we are having friends over, but when I'm home with family, I always wear them. I am really hard on my glasses and I am bound to scratch through a scratch resistant finish the first week. I can't keep up with them and I panic if I can't find them because that means I must insert my contacts, which I can

Mr. Chewy

2012-01-11T21:17:00.000-08:00

We have three cats and it seems like we go through cat food very quickly! About every three weeks, we know we need cat food and every five weeks, we need kitty litter. I can't keep up! Sometimes we run out and my husband has to make a mad dash to the store across town. I live way out, so it's not as easy as it sounds and it can kill an afternoon. When I was contacted by Mr. Chewy to do a

Book Review: DESTINY

2012-01-07T23:54:00.000-08:00

When I was given the opportunity to review Destiny, I was thrilled. The book is a fantastic tale penned by fellow blogger (and one of my readers) Laura DeLuca. Gabriella is the main character in the story and she happens to be a witch. Her character is strong and I really liked her. When I first started reading her story, I eagerly went along for the ride. And what a ride it was! Gabriella

Nestle Paul Frank Giveaway!

2012-01-05T21:00:00.000-08:00

During the holidays, I eat more chocolate-if that's even possible. I usually have a cup of nestle Hot Chocolate each night and when I'm stressed, I may spike it with something nice! I received a great gift basket for the holidays and you can start this year off sweeter with a gift basket of your own! US readers can enter to win a Paul Frank/CRUNCH basket featuring a limited edition Paul Frank

USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo and Book Fair

2012-01-02T07:50:00.000-08:00

As parents are looking toward 2012 and setting their New Year’s resolutions for the family, it may be time to shake up the traditional family vacation and consider doing something more productive and educational with that precious family time. Rather than the usual trip to the beach or amusement park, consider taking the family to the USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo and Book Fair

Holiday Gift Guide: The Sharper Image

2011-12-21T23:45:00.000-08:00

My husband loves to use the grill (and smoker) and I love it too! It means I don't have to cook and I don't have to clean! But my husband does, since the grill is his domain. I don't like to stand over a grill and cook because I think a grill is icky and I don't like the idea of burning and scraping the grates and then cooking on them. Are they ever clean enough? I always wash my pots and pans

Holiday Gift Guide: LED Kitchen Garden!

2011-12-19T01:21:00.000-08:00

I have a windowless kitchen. I really wish I had more light and if I had a way to change it, I would. I have a few plants around my sink because I miss looking out my window and seeing green. It helps, but my thumb isn't very green and my plants are starving for the "right" light. A few years ago, I ordered a hydroponic garden because it really solved my problems. I realized soon after, it

Holiday Gift Guide: Home For Christmas

2011-12-16T15:48:00.000-08:00

I remember my first Lush experience. It was incredible! Since then, I have always splurged on bubble bars and bath bombs around the holidays. It helps with the stress and it's a treat for my skin. I recently received Home For Christmas and I thinks it's great for bath lovers like me! It's a beautifully wrapped gift containing: Three Gold Rings Bubble Bar 3.5 oz Gingerbread House Bubble Bar

Holiday Gift Guide: Cleanse And Glow... For The Holidays!

2011-12-14T20:20:00.001-08:00

I've tried several products from Juice Beauty in the past. I liked them all, especially their Green Apple Peel! Their SPF 8 Lip Moisturizer is also pretty awesome! A few weeks ago, I received a Cleanse & Go Kit. It's a great travel kit because it contains the essentials: • Cleansing Milk • Antioxidant Serum • Reflecting Gloss, Fig It's perfect for adults, children, and teens with normal, dry

Holiday Gift Guide: Tortuga Rum Company-They're On My Wish List!

2011-12-14T02:39:00.000-08:00

I love holiday cakes and I can say my favorite is the Tortuga Rum Company's Original Rum Cake with walnuts. As much as I love chocolate, no chocolate cake I've had comes close. If you haven't tried one, check them out! They have several different flavors, including my second favorite, Chocolate Rum Cake! Our World Famous Tortuga "Golden Original" Rum Cakes with Walnuts are baked fresh daily in

Holiday Gift Guide: PaloVia!

2011-12-11T20:38:00.001-08:00

I am a big fan of microdermabrasion, chemical peels, collagen, and Botox. I've had them all before and I know I'd do it all again...someday. I'm 36 and I am just starting to get a few lines around my eyes. I hate using retinol creams because they really irritate and dry out my skin. Recently, I tried another option and I am thrilled with the results! I was sent a PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser

Holiday Gift Guide: Gardener's Supply Company

2011-12-09T01:22:00.001-08:00

We love to entertain, especially during the holidays. My husband creates great meals (with my help of course!) but he is always a little late getting everything out of the kitchen. I always make sure we have plenty of appetizers to keep everyone happy. We have always wanted a wood tray or board for serving. When I saw this Teak Serving Board from Gardener's Supply Company, I had to have it.

Holiday Gift Guide: Time 4 Learning

2011-12-06T00:27:00.001-08:00

We homeschool our kids and we have been using books and workbooks for most of our lessons. This year, I changed things up a bit and Logan is thrilled! When I purchased Logan's Math program, I bought an internet/workbook combination so he could have more computer experience. He loved it so much, I began searching for an online program that would supplement his lessons. I searched everywhere and

Holiday Gift Guide: Get Fresh... For The Holidays!

2011-12-04T22:07:00.001-08:00

I really look forward to having "me" time. Because I am always home with the kids (we homeschool) I look forward to evenings when I can be alone with my thoughts. I enjoy using products that do double duty. I want them to pamper my skin and help me relax and enjoy my time. Recently, I was treated to products from Get Fresh. They created a deliciously scented Warrior Princess! Warrior

Holiday Gift Guide: Crayola (Giveaway!)

2011-12-03T22:52:00.001-08:00

We love Crayola products and my children always end up with at least one or two under the tree each year. One of those items is usually a box of crayons. This year, I'm still giving crayons, but it will be a smaller box. Logan is getting a Glow Book which means he will be wearing out markers instead of crayons! I've given him the board and globe in the past and he always loves them. The new

Holiday Gift Guide: NOVICA Giveaway!

2011-11-30T22:18:00.001-08:00

Almost all of my shopping is done. The only one left to buy for is my husband! I have purchased products from NOVICA in the past, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in a review AND giveaway! I haven't received my order yet, but I had to go ahead and post so my winner would also have the chance to order and receive a gift before Christmas! Since I have purchased

Holiday Gift Guide: It's Better To Give!

2011-11-29T10:39:00.001-08:00

I feel really good when I am able to purchase a gift that helps another person. When I was contacted by World Vision, I looked at their site for the first time. I really liked what I saw. You can buy gifts of animals, water, and help. You can also purchase from World Vision's Gift Catalog and treat yourself (or others) and help a person or community in need. With each gift purchase, you fund
