Reverse Charades Review and Giveaway

Posted by html404 on November 30, 2012
in Contests, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Family Stuff, Gift Ideas, Giveaways

We love to play board games at our house but in recent years we haven’t played too many of them. Favorites include RISK, Monopoly, Stratego, Life, Checkers and Chess. Games in our home haven’t been very respected and pieces get scattered and lost, the box gets broken, then the board and so on. Our rule is we’ll replace them if we find them for $2 at a garage sale, which is where most of our games have been found.

When the opportunity came up to review Reverse Charades – the Original Edition I thought it would be fun and a break from our board game sabbatical. Not that Reverse Charades is really a board game since it has no board, but you know what I mean.

Reverse Charades Review

Our family was divided on how they liked Reverse Charades. We had older children who were not too keen about standing up and acting in front of us, even though we are their family. We had others who really liked the game and thought it was fun and continued to play it even after we quit due to little ones needing to be put to bed and certain grumps who were being “Debbie Downers” Always has to be one…

Over all I think most of us enjoyed spending some family time together doing something different. It was good to laugh and work together (we helped younger ones with their words).

The game itself is played just like charades always has been or at least how I remember playing it. The game box contained a set of cards and a timer. It retails for $23.99 and has gotten rave reviews across the web and beyond.

So if you are looking for something fun to do over the holidays seriously consider a game like Reverse Charades…..

Happy Havens Dyson DC35 Vacuum Giveaway

Posted by html404 on November 29, 2012
in Appliances, Contests, Giveaways, Home, Uncategorized

Happy Havens is a site that provides consumers with information on home products, trends and promotes wellness and a clean lifestyle. The latter is something our family is very interested and involved in with our little non-certified organic farm. Happy Havens also covers DIY projects, organic living, style and giveaways. Their website is very uncluttered with a fresh look and easy to navigate.

Happy Havens is currently hosting a Dyson DC35 Vacuum Giveaway. Who couldn’t use a second vacuum? I know we could use another one. The Dyson DC35 looks very lightweight and compact. I am use to heavy bulky vacuums but our last vacuum wasn’t and we really like it. That’s why the Dyson caught my eye. It would be perfect for doing our basement stairs. We are hard on vacuums though so I hope it is sturdier than it appears to be!

$700 Shopilly Holiday Cash Giveaway

Posted by html404 on November 20, 2012
in Contests, Giveaways, Shopping

Welcome to the Smokin’ Hot $700 Shopilly Holiday Cash Giveaway sponsored by Like a Bump on a Blog, with considerable help from the lovely Lexie Lane at†VoiceBoks and Bridget at Giveaway Promote. Enjoy the post provided by our generous sponsor, Shopilly,†to learn more about them, and then enter via our Rafflecopter entry at the end.

It’s a cold Sunday night, and Iím huddled on my couch, flipping through never-ending channels on TV. I think I get about 400 channels, and it can be overwhelming to decide what to watch DWTS, Idol, The Voice? Luckily, my trusty DVR puts all the shows I like — and only those shows — in one place, where they wait patiently for me to catch up on them.

Email is a little like TV. Every day I get tons of emails from my favorite brands, retailers and flash sites. I love getting all of that information and having so many choices, but my inbox is getting a little out of control. It’s nearly impossible to sort through the clutter to find emails I really care about, and I have to select and delete almost all of the marketing emails, always wondering whether I should opt out or stick around to see if something actually relevant lands in my inbox.

But I’ve discovered that now there’s a DVR for email! It’s called Shopilly. By signing up for a free account, I can ask Shopilly to automatically pull all of the marketing emails from my email inbox and put them in a fun “visual inbox” in my Shopilly account, where I can review them when Iím ready. My inbox is totally clean; it’s like a breath of fresh air. And when the time is right for me to check out my latest offers, theyíre neatly collected for me at Shopilly.

Shopilly is organizing my email inbox for me, and that’s great. But it’s more than that. On Shopilly, I can also opt in to view offers from other brands I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The way they’re presented makes it really easy to check out all of my options and to add or remove offers from my window shop. It’s like visiting my own personalized shopping mall right from the comfort of my couch.

Now, where did I put that remote control?

Improve your shopping life at Shopilly today and tell us what you think at contact@shopilly.com.

LandCentral Sweepstakes

Posted by html404 on October 1, 2012
in Contests, Giveaways, Shopping, Travel

Shopping for land has been a long and frustrating process for us – because it’s hard to find affordable land where we desire to live. For years we have looked for land and houses in several states. We have looked for land by itself and land that includes a house. Kind of important to have a place to live too as my husband isn’t into camping. There have been several properties we would have loved to have owned but only a few we inquired about.

We have mainly looked for land online, occasionally we’ve used a newspaper, but not very often. We used to years ago, but we’ve become heavy internet users so it’s our go-to place for everything these days, even real estate. The cost of taking a trip to see land in another state, the cost of a move and homeschooling laws (they vary from state to state) and my mother-in-law have always kept us in Illinois. That’s a huge reason we became open to simply renting land so we could stay in Illinois – Land in Illinois is very expensive.

There are a couple regular sites we visit for real estate and land, but we recently learned of a new one for land called LandCentral.com. The site itself is easy to navigate and the information for each listing is an easy to read. They even have an e-newsletter that sends out alerts when property becomes available in your area. The only downfall I see right now is there are no listings for Illinois. Looks like they are working on it though.

LandCentral Sweepstakes

There’s a big giveaway for LAND going on through LandCentral.com sweepstakes. The winner will receive their choice of one of five properties in the US. The giveaway runs from October 1-31.

For years we have wanted to go to Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon, but have yet to. We have looked at a few properties there as I’d love to live some place warm or hot in the case of Arizona! California or Florida would be nice too, except for the earthquakes and hurricanes. Those kind of scare us, but I give people credit who do live with those two things on a daily or seasonal basis. (Joy, Toni, Colleen you all come to mind right now!)

Click this link or the button above or below to enter to win some land of your own. It’s a Rafflecopter form you can fill in as much or as little as you want. The winner of the LandCentral sweepstakes will have their choice of land in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Colorado, California or Florida.

Happy entering!

I wrote this post for the opportunity to be chosen to write on a monthly basis for LandCentral.com

Degree Women® Unapologetically Strong

Posted by html404 on September 17, 2012
in Contests, Personal Care Products, Products for Mom

Do you know someone who you consider unapologetically strong? I know of quite a few actually, but I think my mom stands out the most. Both my parents were strong, but in different ways. Without going into a lot of details my mom was strong for my sisters and me during our growing up years. There were so many things I didn’t even realize until I was older and yet she remained strong when she could have wilted and given up.

My dad had to learn to be strong from a young age. He was diagnosed with Polio at a 12-15 months. He wasn’t suppose to survive, let alone be able to walk, but he lived and walked again. My grandmother was unapologetically strong in my father’s therapy for a year or more. She is the one who did the exercises prescribed by the doctors. She’s the one who never gave up on my father and his ability to learn to walk. If it weren’t for her perseverance my father may never have walked again, but he did. Due to one of his legs being smaller and weaker, my dad walked with a limp for the rest of his life. He used a brace for many years until insurance no longer covered the cost of replacing it for a new one. I was probably in my late 20’s or even early 30’s by that time. Then he went without. I never heard him complain. My mom would tell us when he was sore but we usually didn’t hear it from him. He worked hard to provide for us. He learned to be strong in spite of his handicap and pain.
