The Ultimate Green Store Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to The Ultimate Green Store we got to review some of their products! They sent us a heavenly Bamboo Towel Set!

These Bamboo Blended Towels are made with 50% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, and 50% Viscose from Bamboo. Low impact dyes are used in the coloring of these towels, meaning the lowest possible environmental impact. 
 

This collection combines the naturally soft fabric of bamboo with the finest organic cotton. Made with a strong cotton ground and a heavy pile of bamboo to create a thick and luscious yet strong and sturdy towel.  

The towel set came with 1 Wash Cloth, 1 Hand Towel, and 1 Bath Towel. We picked the chocolate color that is perfect for our bathroom. It's always great to get out of the shower and reach for a towel that makes you feel like you are at the spa. We love how well made and super soft this set is! 

Thanks The Ultimate Green Store for the great products and customer service! 

Now here's the really exciting part...

I get to give one lucky winner a $25 Gift Certificate! The gift certificate may be used to shop their extensive selection of eco-friendly products for the home, for him, her, babies and kids -  including one of the largest selections of eco-friendly bedding, organic baby products, and green back-to-school school supplies.

Big Mommas Like Father, Like Son DVD Giveaway...

 

Just in time for Father’s Day, BIG MOMMA’S: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON bounces on the Motherload Edition DVD and Blu-ray combo pack today June 14, 2011.

In this hefty new comedy, Big Momma is hired to go deep undercover as the Headmistress of the Atlanta Girls’  School for the Arts attended by aspiring music student and leading love interest Haley (Jessica Lucas). Proving “like father, like son,”  Turner brings along his stepson Trent (Brandon T. Jackson) to double as Big Momma’s grand-niece Charmaine and go undercover as a student in the school with hilarious results. The duo tries in vain to derail attempts by the school’s security guard (Faizon Love) to get control of the debauchery.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules Activity Sheets...

Kick Off the First Day of Summer with DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES

Available on Blu-ray and DVD on June 21st

To coincide with the upcoming exciting release of DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES, available on Blu-ray and DVD on June 21^st, here are some fun and engaging activity sheets for you to print and play at home with friends and family. Check out the Backyard Camping, Bug Activity and Summer Sports Activity Sheets!

Greg Heffley is about to discover that there is something worse than middle school – his own family! Based on the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice™ Award for Best Book Series, the original film cast returns in DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES, available on Blu-ray and DVD on June 21st. This flick takes sibling rivalry to entirely new levels as big brother and little brother wrestle through growing pains.

Just back from summer vacation, Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon, National Treasure: Book of Secrets) and his friend Rowley (Robert Capron, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) enter the next grade as undersized weaklings in their school. A bully favorite, Greg tries not to get noticed by anyone except the pretty new girl, Holly Hills (Peyton List, 27 Dresses). And at home, Greg is still at war with his older brother, Rodrick (Devon Bostick, “Degrassi”), until their mom Susan (Rachael Harris, The Hangover) instigates a ‘Mom Bucks’ program so Greg and Rodrick can earn play money by doing chores and—gasp!—being nice to each other. Calamity ensues when their parents return from vacation and dad Frank (Steve Zahn, A Perfect Getaway) finds evidence that Rodrick secretly threw a houseparty with his band, Löded Diper. As they struggle with school and compete for ‘Mom Bucks,’ the brothers discover that avoiding trouble is easier if they unite—and their once-twisted partnership grows into a hilariously playful and sometimes mischievous friendship.

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES will be available on single-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, and 3-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy and includes the crazy adventures Greg and his friends has over the summer with hilarious all-new “My Summer Vacation” shorts not seen in theaters. It is available in the U.S. and Canada.

Scala Collezione Sun Hat Review...

I was excited to get a Scala Collezione Sun Hat to review!

From the Scala Collezione collection of women's hats they sent me The Stephanie Hat, a lovely and very affordable sun hat with a generous 4 inch brim.

Prettily trimmed with self band and bow and ric-rac ribbon throughout, it's also got a face-saving sun-protection value of UPF 50+. I like that it's durable, crushable and packable. Made from a 70/30% cotton/poly blend, you can take and wear this hat anywhere you want to look great!

I not only like how cute this is on but also love the protection it will give me from sun damage! Make sure and check out all the great products Womens-Hats.com has to offer!

MagicKitchen.com Review and $100 Giveaway...

Thanks to MagicKitchen.com we were thrilled to try some of their products! I am so excited to tell you about this awesome company!

MagicKitchen.com offers a full menu of Gourmet frozen dinners and Gourmet TV Dinners delivered to your door. Founded in 2005, they have been revolutionizing the way busy Americans eat, with their chef-prepared frozen meals.  

They sent us lots of different items to try. We got 3 main course items. The Chicken Pot Pie, Eggplant Parmigiana, and their Chicken Marsala. The handmade Chicken Pot Pie was stuffed full of goodness surrounded by their golden, flaky pastry and so good. I am picky with Eggplant Parmigiana and this is the best one I have ever tried. The Chicken Marsala tasted better than any restaurant we've tried it at and was fantastic.

Next we got to try three sides. The Lemon Risotto, Rosemary Potatoes, and Stuffed Baked Potato. The Lemon Risotto was so wonderful, I can't wait to order more of that. The Rosemary Potatoes and Stuffed Baked Potatoes were cooked to perfection and very flavorful.

We also got 3 yummy desserts. The Chocolate Cake, Panna Cotta, and the Gourmet Cupcakes Assortment. The Chocolate Cake and Gourmet Cupcakes were so moist and melted in our mouths. The Panna Cotta was my favorite dessert and brought over directly from Italy, so-ooo delicious!

This company is my dream come true! Perfect for the nights I don't have time to cook and want a gourmet meal. You can get home-cooked goodness from MagicKitchen.com so make sure and check them out! Bon Appetit!!

Thanks MagicKitchen.com for the amazing food and customer service!

Now here's the really exciting part...

I get to give one lucky winner a $100 gift card to MagicKitchen.com!
