Gourmet Dinner & Movie Date Night Idea for Under $20!!! #KYDateNight #ad

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

KY-Date-Night-#KYDateNight- #cbias-#ad

My husband and I don’t  get the chance to go out by ourselves much.  With five kids, including two little ones, no family nearby and very busy schedules, date nights out of our home are not in the cards at this time.  However, just because we can’t get out for a “date” doesn’t mean we can’t stay in and still have a great date night.

Sure, you need to get a little creative, but where there’s a will there’s a way right?  If you’re in the same boat and want to do something special for you and your love, I hope this inspires you.  My husband and I had a land and sea dinner with balsamic marinated skirt steak and shrimp scampi, all the food was delivered fresh from Plated.com.  We also watched a great movie on Vudu.com which we turned into a real theater experience with popcorn and our favorite movie theater candy.

Do you think that sounds like it might be expensive?  What if I told you that it was included in a special package of K-Y Yours + Mine couples lubricants?  It was, and the K-Y Yours + Mine was under $15 at Walmart.  You can easily spend 6 times that going out to a gourmet dinner and a movie.  You would not even be able to buy 2 movie tickets for $15 in most theaters not to mention the price they charge for popcorn, candy and drinks!

Walmart has specially marked boxes of K-Y Yours + Mine that include gift codes to Plated.com and Vudu.com (a $40 value)!

 KY-Date-Night-#KYDateNight- #cbias-#ad

KY-Date-Night-#KYDateNight- #cbias-#ad

We lucked out big time because Plated.com had a special when we went online to order our dinner and doubled the amount of dinners.  We then picked out a land and a sea option!  On Vudu.com you can browse form hundreds of movies that will stream instantly for you.

There are a lot of ways you can enhance the date night experience at home.  Pinterest can be a great source of inspiration where you can find some date night theme printables that will add a lot of fun.  Pop up some popcorn and instead of eating it out of the bag, put it in some fun popcorn containers, then head off to the big candy bins that are in Walmart and pick out some boxes of your favorites.  You can also whip up some special deserts to have after dinner too!

Put the kids to bed early and then have fun preparing dinner together. My husband and I like to cook and with Plated it was so easy to get to the fun part. Everything was sent fresh to us along with the recipes so there was no shopping or planning on our part. We had a lovely dinner of balsamic marinated skirt steak with creamy, corn polenta and shrimp scampi with cauliflower bruschetta.

After dinner we took our dessert, candy and popcorn into the family room.  We fired up the big screen and browsed the available movies on Vudu.com and picked our movie.

 After movie time, it’s time to move the party upstairs with K-Y Yours + Mine.  We had a date night that rocked all night long!

T.G.I. Friday’s Frozen Snacks Are Perfect To Team Up With Game Day Entertaining!!!

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

TGI Friday's Frozen Snacks-#tgifgameday-#cbias-#shop

With our large family and my older kid’s friends always over, it’s like a party every day at our house.  I sometimes feel like we have a revolving door and you never know who’s going to pop over.  With older boys and their friends, I can tell you that we always have hungry people in our house.

Now, when you add an event like the big game to the agenda, you can be sure there better be plenty of great snacks and tasty food for the sports fans to munch on.  They say go big or go home, that’s how we feel about a lot of things but certainly how we plan when entertaining during game time!  My husband likes to cook especially when we have friends and family coming by to relax and enjoy a big game day with us.

My husband can be found making his signature chili and serving it with cubes of cheddar cheese for an unbelievable hearty bowl of comfort food.  Chips and dips of all kinds, cold drinks, and we always like to have some finger foods like wings too.  T.G.I. Friday’s has some amazing appetizers available in the freezer section of your local Walmart store now!

Choose from Frozen Snacks of Delicious Wings with Honey BBQ Sauce, Loaded Cheddar & Bacon Potato Skins,Boneless Chicken Bites with Honey BBQ Sauce, Mozzarella Sticks, Jalapeno Poppers and much more.  These appetizers are easy to prepare and let you spend time with your family and friends watching the game without sacrificing taste or quality.

I picked some up recently from the well-stocked freezer section at Walmart.  There are regular and even value sizes of some varieties to choose from, and  you better believe  when the value size was available, I chose that and loaded up my cart.  I checked out and drove home and my husband put the treats in our extra freezer.

Imagine my surprise the next day when I went to get the boxes and found considerably less then I purchased.  Apparently, my older boys found the stash while getting some ice cream.  Enticed seeing the colorful T.G.I Friday’s packaging and even more intrigued by the pictures of their favorite Friday’s foods, those snacks never had a chance.  Needless to say, there was quite a dent put in my stash.  Oh well, what are you going to do, the story of living with teenagers!  I never need to worry about my little ones doing that yet, give them time though.

So I took what I had left and prepared a sampling buffet for us to try so we could get a feel for our favorites.  I cooked what was left of the wings, boneless chicken, loaded potato skins and poppers.  I left some of the chicken uncoated for my little guys but they ended up wanting the sauce.  I think it’s nice though that you can keep some plain for those who prefer that.  Everything cooked very quickly and disappeared just as fast which is a testimony to how good it tasted!

Margery Williams’ “The Velveteen Rabbit”, Deluxe Gift Edition Review & Giveaway!!!

Random_House_logo

A few weeks ago the little ones and I began to add Spring and Easter bedtime story books to our routine.  Experiencing an Arctic blast here in the Northeast, I found it very promising to read stories about springtime.  Many of the stories were about bunnies, ducks and the rebirth experienced each spring.

Along the bunny theme we recently were sent the beautiful Deluxe Gift Edition of The Velveteen Rabbit.  The first time we read it, my little guys were all ears (no pun intended). They wanted to know why all the boys things needed to be burned because of germs, and wondered why they couldn’t just wash them.  They were very glad to know the Velveteen Rabbit was not burned and was made real because he had been so special to the boy.  This is a delightful story to share with your children or to give as a gift.  Would make a beautiful addition to put in an Easter basket!

The Velveteen Rabit Gift Edition Random House

 

A deluxe gift edition of one of the most beloved children’s stories. With illustrations remastered from a 1922 first edition and a beautiful cloth binding with gold accents, this lovingly reconstructed classic is the ideal collectible gift for baby showers, birthdays, and holidays throughout the year. Includes a book plate for personalizing your gift.

At first a brand-new toy, now a threadbare and discarded nursery relic, the velveteen rabbit is saved from peril by a magic fairy who whisks him away to the idyllic world of Rabbitland. There, he becomes “Real,” a cherished childhood companion who will be loved for eternity. Treasured for generations, here is a timeless tale about the magic of boundless love, newly available with the luminous color of the original edition.

The Velveteen Rabbit Inside of Book

Excerpt From The Book:

“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.  “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse.  “It’s a thing that happens to you.  When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”

“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.

“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful.  “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”

“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”

“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse.  “You become.  It takes a long time.  That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.  Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.  But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

Walmart Family Mobile Has The Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans!!!

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. #CollectiveBias #FamilyMobile

Walmart Family Mobile -Lowest Priced-Unlimited Plans-#FamilyMobile #Cbias-#Shop

I am one of those moms who has kids ranging from young adults to preschoolers.  When your older kids start driving, believe me, you’re going to want to know you can reach them and that they have the capability to call if anything happens.

However, it can be very costly for everyone to have a smart phone not to mention an unlimited family mobile plan. That’s why I am so excited about Walmart Family Mobile, it’s the lowest price unlimited talk, text & data/web plan!

Family Mobile In Store 2 #FamilyMobile  #Shop #cbias

You can purchase a variety of smart phones for under $100 with some under $50 right now!  I went to Walmart today to purchase a gift from my son for Valentine’s Day!  I bought him the Evolve Smart Phone and it was just $79.00!  Walmart’s lowest priced unlimited  plans for talk, text and web are just $39.99 a month!  There’s no contract and you just pay monthly.

The low price gets lower when you add a line because you save $5 when you add other family members to the unlimited plan.  That’s a great value and much less than we are paying with our contract service.

Family Mobile In Store #FamilyMobile  #Shop #cbias

 

With phones and unlimited plans this affordable, staying in touch with everyone is easy and the peace of mind it gives me is priceless.  Since many families are now receiving their tax return, this may just be something you want to consider using it toward. Unlimited plans are so great because you don’t need to worry about anyone going over their minutes or data/web allotment and then being slapped with huge fees you didn’t plan on.

It couldn’t have been easier to buy the phone and the start-up for the Family Mobile Plan.  As I made my way to the electronics department, I immediately saw the display with the phones and signage about Walmart’ s Lowest Priced Unlimited Plan.

Walmart-#FamilyMobile-#Cbias-#Shop

 A very nice young man immediately approached me and was very knowledgable about the phones and plan.  I told him I wanted to buy the OneTouch Evolve and he picked the phone for me, then I asked him how it works with setting up the unlimited plan and he told me I needed the start-up pack,  picked the right one and told me I could activate it online or on the phone.

That was it, I paid and was on my way.  Of course I picked up a Valentine’s gift bag for the gift that keeps on giving.  When I got home I wrapped it up and put it in the gift bag and now to wait and see his reaction.  I know he will just love it! I will update with his reaction.

Celebrate National Soup Month With the Original SoupMan!!! #SoupManFan

SoupMan Logo #SoupManFan #ad

 

The SoupMan phenomenon started back in 1984, long  before the Seinfeld, Soup Nazi,  “NO SOUP FOR YOU!” classic punchline; there were soup lines outside of Al’s legendary NYC store.  This was soup worth waiting for, even in sub-zero winters. The innovative recipes, miraculously fresh ingredients and spices from Al‘s secret sources showed jaded New Yorker’s a whole new side of soup.

#ad #SoupManFan

The years may have changed but nothing about the small-batch soups have.  They are still made with the craft and relentless pursuit of excellence that defines perfectionism and creates legends.  The New York Times declares, Al creates “Art, not soup.” Available at over 500 Walmart locations, over 750 Stop & Shop, 1400 Safeway stores, Giant, Martin’s Supermarkets, plus other grocers across the nation, fans  can enjoy The SoupMan’s original recipes in the comfort of their own home. Find a store near you HERE.   Follow SoupMan on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Here in New York we are experiencing an Arctic Blast of bone chilling cold.  If any time was right for a steaming hot bowl of hearty soup, it’s now!  SoupMan soups are packed in cartons not cans and they are not condensed, so do not add water.  All you need to do is open, heat and enjoy!  I have been having SoupMan Soup for lunch the past few days and I really looked forward to soup time!

#SoupManFan #ad

The lentil was the first kind I tried and it is full of quality ingredients and packed with flavor.  The soup is very satisfying, no need to add a sandwich and will have you fueled and ready for the rest of the day no matter what the temperature is outside.

I also tried the new Jambalaya and that was incredibly delicious.  I cannot wait to sample the Lobster Bisque, Tomato, Crab & Corn Chowder, Chicken Noodle and Chicken Gumbo.  Love that I can get the soups in my Walmart and how great that I won’t ever have to hear, “No Soup For You!”  With SoupMan there is soup for all of us!  Try some today and chase away the winter chills with a hot bowl of deliciousness as you Celebrate National Soup Month With the Original SoupMan!

Celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend And Kick Off Cookie Season!!! #CookieBoss

As a blogger in the  Mom It Forward Blogger Network I was compensated  by GSUSA for my participation in this promotion.  As always my views, words, and opinions are 100% my own.

Sharplogo

National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend #CookieBoss

Do you know what season it is?  Maybe you are thinking about football and the upcoming Superbowl but that’s not what I’m thinking of. Are you ready for some COOKIES?!!!  That’s right, Cookie Season is almost here! Girl Scout Cookie Season, and In New York City the Girls Scouts of the USA will celebrate the start of the season by taking over Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal on Friday, February 7th, from 8 am to 7 pm to give the big apple residents their first taste of this year’s cookies.  Are you ready to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend?

Girl Scout Cookies

The Girl Scouts is the world’s largest girl-led business, the near $800 million dollar cookie program was created to teach girls five essential life skills: goal setting, decision-making, money management, business ethics and people skills.  I remember fondly my time as a girl scout, the weekly meetings, crafts, earning badges, learning new skills, bonding with peers, trips and of course the cookie sale.  I loved the colorful order forms and seeing them fill up with orders, picking up all the boxes and delivering them with my mom and sister.

#CookieBoss

When I had my own daughter there was no doubt she would also participate in Girl Scouts. This time I was her troop leader, allowing me to  see and experience Girl Scouts from the other side.  I loved being a troop leader and there was so much support, we had local meetings, worked close with council, went to some tremendous, enriching leader trainings and had the chance to work with some amazing young girls along the way.  It was a wonderful experience even as an adult.

Perfect For Me!!!

Perfect For Me!!!

I will never forget the excitement of the cookie sales, how my dining room became Cookie Central for pick up and how we organized special sales with the girls to sell the extra boxes.  Setting up  the events to sell the extra cookies really helped the girls with their planning, business skills and time management.

cookie car magnet #CookieBoss

 We held brainstorming sessions about the best venue with the most traffic, what we would need, dividing up the tasks, coming together the day of the event to set up, do business and learn important skills that would be a foundation for the rest of their lives.  How to deal with people, totaling up orders, giving change, preparing for the unexpected and doing it all with a smile are what the girls would remember at the end of the day along with the laughs and fun we had.  The memories I carry as both a Girl Scout and then a Girl Scout Leader are a gift and the whole experience has enriched my life in so many ways.

Connect with GSUSA on their Website, check out their Cookie Program Page. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.  The Girl Scouts of Western NY are also on Facebook and Twitter so stop by and say hi!
