Wordless Wednesday Christmas Recap

 Wow I know where have I been? Playing like a kid well of course. My husband and I have been right there playing with the boys and their new toys. I've been totally wrapped up in the holiday spirt. Visiting family, making cookies, doing a big salt dough decorating tradition, cooking, seeing Santa, and so much more.

This was a grand Christmas, we were all healthy most important. There was way to much food to eat and so many activities to attend I barely even turned my computer on. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Hard to believe it's over and New Years is a few days away. You know I'd like to lose weight this year, be more organized, spend more family time, and more time fishing:)

Merry Christmas The look on his face :)

Last Holiday Winners!!

Congrats to our last round of holiday winners!! Checkout the side bar for latest giveaways.

Our Lazy Elf on the Shelf

So it seems we have a lazy Elf on the Shelf here, named Snowflake. Son ask, "momma why doesn't he move around like the elf we have at school? Replied he doesn't like travel that much and doesn't like strange places, plus your little brother scares him, so he is trying to stay in a safe place. As Christmas is closer, he is moving more & more.

Big brother understands his little brother wants to get that elf. Does the elf watching make them behave any better, only for the oldest some. Little brother is just little brother and really don't care, he's going to do it anyways:)

PartSelect.com Story “If my appliance could talk”

PartSelect.com said Tell us your best “If my appliance could talk” story! I choose the topic if my appliance could talk because of the fact our appliances does do the talking for us. From the clean clothes we wear to the heavenly or not so heavenly dish we share with others.

See our refrigerator (by the way a GE) shares our families photos, kids drawings on the outside and it does so much more in the inside protecting my family from food born illness keeping temperatures their best. My refrigerator would say after ten years it is used more than any other appliance in the house, it never gets turned off, and it seal is wearing out. My boys have used it for learning magnetic number cards, swing on the doors when they were little, and hanging their favorite art work and sometimes the fridge disappears under that art work.

My stove (also a GE by the way) speaks volumes. For the past 10 years it has brought food to our table to share family meals together. It prepared the nutritional meals I feed myself during my pregnancies and has since nourished my growing toddler boys. Making cookies for Santa with my kids and cakes for birthdays, and making memories. Every meal I set on Holiday tables, my guest hear my appliances talk. My stove will not remind people of my first turkey, (I left the insides in), only show how my know how and cooking skills have improved.

The clothing pairing of my washer & dryer say I send my family dressed in clean good smelling clothes. We know that appearance matter and my appliance speak that they work hard.  Providing cleaning for past 10 years to my now almost 5 year and 2 year, my husband and myself. Everyone knows what messes two boys can make. My dryer was recently replaced with a new model.

I just had to share the story of when my mom and dad got a new refridgerator, when I about 4 yrs old. They were taking the old green one out and I cried and cried. I didn't want it to leave, my mom said it took me about a day to get over. I remembered that I felt so sad and do recall that day.

So, see they do talk. Our appliances say they live their lifespans with us co-working to keep our family in a healthy balance without having to blink an eye away from family time. They would probably say I'm to depending on them to do their job. The less you have to worry about a proper working appliance the more time you have to concentrate on the important thing family and sometimes sleep.

Club Penguin’s in-world holiday party

Club Penguin Decks the Igloos for Massive Holiday Extravaganza
The #1 Virtual World for Kids Hosts Yuletide Party with Opportunities to Receive Gifts Daily

Burbank, Calif.—December 16, 2011—‘Tis the season to be jolly and Club Penguin is inviting all penguins to partake in a cool celebration.  This week, Disney’s Club Penguin (clubpenguin.com)—the #1 virtual world for kids—kicks off its Holiday Party with exciting enhancements to the in-world experience.  The island will have a festive holiday feel and Santa’s Sleigh will fly across the sky. 

Players will also be able to participate in fun holiday activities including baking cookies and holiday-themed games like the “Sled Challenge.”  There will also be opportunities for players to receive a present each day by clicking on the doors of a large advent-style calendar that will count down to the holiday.  The event is happening now until December 25.  Penguins are invited to put on their Santa hats and join the party.




Some highlights of the 2011 Club Penguin Holiday Party include:
Club Penguin Becomes Winter Wonderland: The island will be fully transformed into a holiday oasis of yuletide cheer.  The sky dims to early morning, snow falls on mountaintops, and Santa’s sleigh flies across the sky.

Countdown Calendar and Gifts Daily: There will be a large advent-style calendar counting down to the holiday beginning December 14.   More lights turn on as the days go by and users can click on the doors to receive a gift each day.

Make Holiday Cookies at The Bakery:  Users on the “members” side of the bakery will be able to create cookies, wear an apron, and do a special dance to serve cookies to customers on the non-member side of the room.

Santa Sled Room:   Players can compete in the “Sled Challenge” three times to claim three different Holiday Ornament outfits.

·         Coins for Change: There will be locations throughout the world where players will be able to donate their virtual coins as part of the Coins for Change event, which kicks off December 15 and runs through December 27.  Coins for Change empowers Club Penguin users to donate virtual coins they earn playing games online to real world causes that matter to them.  This year, kids will be challenged to fill the island lighthouse with donated coins, and if this goal is reached, Club Penguin has committed to doubling its overall cash donation to $2 million,

Disclosure: Shared on behalf of sponsor for readers, nothing received.

Rayovac Roughneck L.E.D. Focus Control Flashlight Review & Giveaway

Can't count the endless number of things we need a flashlight for around our home and on the go. Emergency preparness for storm and loss of electricity is top on the list for good strong flashlight. Rayovac Roughneck is great for running out in the dark, home improvements, camping, and just shadow playtime with the children. I like specifically that it uses AA batteries, a cheaper battery, and recharable ones are common with this size.

We've had the opportunity to try the Rayovac Roughneck L.E.D. Focus Control Flashlight. Camping a weekend back displaying a wide range of light and then pulling in a direct beam to check our hot dogs. My sons are scared of the dark & made sure we keep the flashlight on.

The Rayovac Roughneck L.E.D. Focus Control Technical Details:

• High performance Cree LED lasts 100,000 hours and never needs replacing; 120 lumens
• Adjustable spot to flood focus beam with easy to use thumb switch; magnifier lens provides long range beam
• Features an ABS body, comfort rubber grip, and handy hanging ring for easy storage
• Runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries (included); run time 4 hours
• Withstands a 5 foot drop test; water resistant

Make sure to follow Rayovac on facebook to keep up with the latest promotions and new products. I know they keep events going all the time and you do not want to miss out. Also thanks to Rayovac for providing 2 Rayovac Roughneck L.E.D. Focus Control Flashlight for giveaway.

Must Have Dale & Thomas Popcorn

 Dale & Thomas has the best gourmet popcorn hands down. I thought I had tried great popcorn before, no way. I was mesmerized at first taste with freshness of each mouth watering bite sent in a nice gift box.

I was totally in love and if anyone wants to get me something for Christmas I would love my  two favorite Dale & Thomas popcorn, " Twice-As-Nice Chocolate Drizzlecorn & Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Drizzlecorn." Both is popcorn heaven, I could really over indulge on them.

Others we enjoyed are Chocolate Chunck N'Caramel Popcorn, Southwest Chipotle Cheddar Kettle Corn, Dale's Caramel Popcorn. I enjoyed the mixture of the Chocolate N'Caramel; however, the complete caramel was a little too much for my teeth. Not to mention I'm not much of a caramel person so that may be why. I'm also not much of a spicy eater either but, my husband said he liked the Southwest Chipotle and we all adored the Hall of Fame Kettle Corn.

Dale & Thomas Popcorn is the best tasting Gourmet Popcorn I've tried. For $5.00 off your order use Promo Code BB5 at checkout expires 2/28/12. Follow Dale & Thomas on facebook to keep up with the latest news.
