My daughter she’s not, nor ever has been, a ‘princess’ type girl.  Alway it was the Buzz Lightyear, the Star Wars and the Pirates.  So this new line of Nerf Rebelle toys is awesome for girls like her. 

I’m glad to be offering you a chance to enter this Rafflecopter giveaway that MomDot.com is hosting.  It includes a prize package of the Guardian Crossbow, Pink Crush and Heartbreaker Bow.  See more about them below or by visiting the landing page on Walmart.

65.  That’s how many days there are until Christmas.  Wow!  Where has the year gone?!  So how many of you have started your Christmas shopping yet?  I’ve only gotten one gift so far.  I need to get my rear in gear!

Well I’m going to help you out today by offering a giveaway by a company called Everbuying.com.  You can find so many great items on their website, they’re really affordable, and they have free shipping!

You all know I LOVE my coffee right?  Well I have the opportunity to share some with you today!

Seattle’s Best has a fun new promotional giveaway going on Twitter and Instagram until November 15th, and it’s all about their #GreatTaste.

Here’s how it works:

Remember last week when I shared the trailer for Free Birds which will be in theaters November 1st?  (Check it out here if you missed it!)

Well in anticipation of the movie and Turkey Day (also known as Thanksgiving in some areas), Oriental Trading Company is working with families everywhere.  For over 80 years they’ve made Thanksgiving day special and fun for all.  This year they’re a proud partner of the animated film Free Birds! 

In An Untamed Heart, the latest novel by bestselling author Lauraine Snelling, twenty-year-old Ingeborg Strand is certain she is destined to be an old maid.

When tragedy strikes, and the future looks bleaker than ever, Ingeborg considers leaving Norway to start afresh in America. But how will she accomplish that with little money and no one to accompany her?

I’m finding it a little difficult to shift my thinking from ‘summer’ to Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.  Why?  Well when you’re used to the cool fall temperatures and sometimes even snow falling prior to Halloween, and then you move to an environment where on October 12th you’re walking around Lowe’s looking at Christmas trees in a sleeveless dress and flip flops (true story) and you’re NOT on vacation…well everything just seems a little surreal.

I’m really finding it hard to believe that it’s already the 13th of October.  I’ve been really busy with the blog, our house, Amber’s schooling and college entrance requirements; most days I’m lucky to be in bed before midnight only to wake up and start all over again.  Which is why I’m looking forward to that extra hour of sleep on November 3rd.  That’s right it’s ‘fall back‘ time – daylight savings.

On behalf of Hot Pockets® brand sandwiches, I’m sharing their new music video, “You Got What I Eat,” staring iconic rapper Snoop Dogg and supermodel Kate Upton and parodying the classic rap hit “Just a Friend (You Got What I Need)” by Biz Markie.

It pays homage to the new and improved Hot Pockets sandwiches, which feature new premium meats and buttery seasoned crusts.

If you’ve been to a family movie at the theaters in the last couple of months chances are you’ve seen a trailer for FREE BIRDS.  Free Birds will be in theaters November 1st, and features the voices of Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson and Amy Poehler.

The CDs on our shelves have grown a bit dusty.  These days we tend to be listening to music in our cars and at home we’ve discovered Pandora.  That way we get a kind of “catch all” of the types of music we like without hearing the same voice over and over.  But a couple of weeks ago I was sent a copy of Natasha Owens’ debut CD “I Made It Through“, and the resultant effect has been that there is little else that I have listened to since.  My partiality to wanting to listen to the CD was two-fold.
