Contests

We recently moved and found ourselves needing a new cordless phone. I was asked to review the new Three Handset Cordless phone system by VTech. The newly announced VTech CS6129-31 features a truly complete home communications system, with a three handset system.

Please watch our little video we did below to show you what we thought of this unique phone system.

Isn’t this system the greatest? One of the perks too is the reasonable price for a 3 phone system. MSRP $79.95. Such a great deal and it will cause a lot less headaches to you and your family ;).

Now just leave me a comment below if you would like to enter. I will be giving a way one of these same phone systems to one lucky winner. Please subscribe to our feed and twitter this for extra entries. Just leave me a new comment each time you twitter and if you subscribe t our feed.

As a mom, I love seeing my girls having such a big imagination. They love to do ballet through the house and love going to watch Ballets. They just love to dance… not sure where they got that trait from haha ;).

The wonderful moms over at With Love ‘n Care gave me the opportunity to review their uniquely designed Tutus. Are they not just the cutest from the picture above? With Love ‘n Care was created by stay-at-home moms who enjoyed making and creating handmade gifts for our friends and family.  Soon, they were being asked by friends and family to make items for them to give as gifts as well.  With this overwhelming response, they decided to form their own business, With Love ‘n Care.   Everything that you see on their website is handmade by them.  They are so grateful for the opportunity to stay at home with their children, and still be able to pursue the passions that they love–sewing and creating custom gifts.

I love how they are so detailed in their products and will work with the individual to custom any order that  you would like. I know too since it is homemade, that each stitch was done with love and will last a really long time for that special girl in your life. They can make tutus to match party colors, team colors, or holiday colors. Also, they design bows to match along with the tutus.

Tutus and bows are just a couple of the products they design and create. They also make dresses in which I am going to have them design two for my girls for Easter Sunday. I love the ribbon tops that adds just the right sassiness my girls love when they get to dress up. Also, these would look so cute with a top under the dress and a pair of leggings. Just beautiful.

With Love ‘n Care would like to give you the opportunity to have your very own tutu for free for that special girl in your life. You will get to pick the colors and the size that you would like.

Post In Conjunction with the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival!

The weather outside is frightful cold, but why not take this time and have a blast with your family. It will make you all warm and fuzzy inside :).

Ski & Stay headquarters has some great adventures that you all could enjoy as a family. The mountains are so beautiful and you will be mesmerized by just sitting and watching them. The mountains are for everyone too… don’t worry if you are not an avid skier. They have the speedy slopes and the ones you can take your time and learn the slopes.

The ski area is the highest vertical in Pennsylvania (1,082 feet).  They have 33 trails and also have a very huge snow tubing park. YEAH! I have always wanted to try snow tubing and it is something I know my girls would enjoy as well. They are continuously making snow and grooming conditions so your trip will be perfect for your family to enjoy.

Since families are so busy all the time, they have created packages for you so you can just deal with the fun part of the trip. The best part is if you purchase a package, you get Direct to slopes ticketing and access. This means no waiting in line! How cool is that?

Here is an example of a Ski Package:

* Overnight accommodations at the Ski and Stay Headquarters
* Exclusive Lehigh Valley Hotel All Day/All Night Lift Tickets (2)
* $20 food and beverage voucher
* Breakfast for Two
* Direct-To-Slope ticketing and access

Here is an example of a Snow Tubing Package:

• Overnight accommodations at the Ski and Stay Headquarters
• Exclusive Lehigh Valley Hotel All Day/All Night Tubing Tickets (2)
• $20 food and beverage voucher
• Breakfast for Two
• Direct-To-Slope ticketing and access

The hotels included in the packages are really family friendly. One of the hotels is Holiday Inn at Leigh Valley which includes S’Moresgabord Roast.
It occurs every Friday night throughout the year but during ski season it is truly spectacular and is presented both Friday and Saturday nights. Outdoor fire pits offer romantic gathering spots. You can even enhance that warmth with a cup of hot cocoa and maybe even a little peppermint Schnapps. Parents relish in teaching their children the fine art of s’mores making. The “S’moresgaboard” gets its name from the decadent topping station offering any sort of chocolate, sprinkles, whipped cream topping you can imagine. It is the perfect topping for a fun day on the slopes.

The other wonderful family friendly hotel is Courtyard by Marriott. It has the very thing that kids will want to come back to the hotel for – a heated indoor pool and hot tub. What a way to end the day!

As you can see, this is the perfect little getaway your family needs to treat those winter blues and reconnect with each other. It’s all about having a good time and sharing the fun times in the snow :).

I would like to offer one of you a free getaway pack sponsored by the Ski and Stay Headquarters.

The pack includes:

·         A free nights stay

·         Discounts to book a vacation & bar tab credits

·         A Ski & Stay PA knit ski cap

·         A Ski & Stay vest

Just leave me a comment below and let me know which package your family would enjoy. The ski getway package or the snow tubing package. Twitter this and come back to let me know… you will then receive an extra entry. The giveway will end Sunday February 1st, 2009 at 11:59pm EST.
