Banquet Thanks a Million Promotion

Posted on by Mandy

Banquet, the makers of great frozen food products, is currently giving away $1 million in cash prizes through their Thanks a Million giveaway. Look for participating Banquet packages with the Thanks a Million logo on them, look inside the box, and you might be a winner! For more information and official rules, please visit www.BanquetThanksaMillion.com

Courtesy of Banquet and Mom Central, I was sent a few coupons to try out Banquet frozen food products. I chose to buy the Macaroni and Cheese meals as side dishes. This is something that I frequently serve to my son because it’s one of his favorites. I’m happy to report we did enjoy the macaroni and cheese and it was quick and easy to prepare! Perfect for nights when we have other things going on but need a quick, hot meal.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

The Baby Bunch Review & Giveaway

Posted on by Mandy


If you are ever in search of the perfect baby gift that will bring a huge smile to the face of the mom-to-be, The Baby Bunch has the cutest line of baby gifts all beautifully designed to look like a bouquet of flowers.

We were recently sent a medium Blue Baby Bunch to test out (pictured above), and we passed this along to a family member who just recently gave birth to a precious baby boy. The Medium Baby Bunch we received contained a complete outfit consisting of a shirt, hat, 2 onesies, two pair of socks, and a bib. Each item of clothing was wrapped to look like a flower in the bouquet and people are amazed when they find out that each flower is actually an item of clothing!

Each Baby Bunch can be ordered for any gender, and if you’re not quite sure what gender the baby will be, they also offer a unisex Baby Bunch. In addition, they also offer an organic line and have been featured on Martha Stewart.

The Baby Bunch is pleased to offer one of my readers a Medium Baby Bunch in their color choice (retail value $59.95). To enter, visit The Baby Bunch and leave a comment on this post telling me if you would choose the Boy, Girl, or Unisex Baby Bunch if you won. Deadline to enter is Saturday, March 6 at 11 PM Central. U.S. ONLY.

Mama Needs A New Pair Of Shoes

Posted on by Mandy

I’ve been researching online (and off) for the absolute best pair of tennis shoes I can afford that will make my feet feel like heaven, or at least offer way more support than my poor little New Balance’s are giving me at the moment. Being the ever so helpful website it is, Facebook offered me a suggestion in the right sidebar of my page of an athletic shoe guaranteed to provide me with 85% less pain in my feet AND be able to defy gravity.

There’s just one issue I have with this shoe. Look closely and please tell me what YOU think is wrong with this picture. And WHY, pray tell, would anyone think this was a smooth branding move for a shoe? (Or maybe it is because I’m wigging out and it obviously got MY attention.)

Also taking your suggestions in comments on good tennis shoes to invest in.
