Snickers Voting Prize Pack Giveaway

Hey there.  I love me a good Snickers bar.  The wife and I go grocery shopping every Monday and to reward ourselves for being awesome, we each buy ourselves a chocolate bar.  More often than not, one of us will end up with a Snickers bar.  So when an opportunity came up to help name a Snickers bar, I had to jump on the opportunity!  Snickers has created a new chocolate bar and is looking for help naming it.  And for participating?  You're in the running to win a Snickers Voting Prize Pack!  I have teamed up with our good friends at PartnersHub and Snickers to let your voice be heard and be a part of Snickers history!  Before I get into the giveaway details, let's get more into this new Snickers bar.

Make the Best of Summertime with Coastal Dog Swimwear

I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Dad Central Consulting for Coastal Dog. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating

Hey there.  I live in Southern California.  There's a running joke in our family that the weather in Southern California is "warm, hot, or hotter."  lol  Well, considering that it's been a warm Spring, I'm expecting it to be a pretty hot Summer.  Especially now so that I've moved into the Lancaster area.  From what I know, that's pretty close to the Mojave Desert.  So... what's a family of 6 to do to stay cool in the Summer near the desert?  BEACH AND POOL TIME!!!  We have family in Lancaster that has invited us to their pool anytime it gets hot and guess what... IT GOT HOT!  We grabbed our swimwear and were about to head out the door when my young one yells out, "WAIT!!!  DID YOU GET MY NEW BLUE SWIM SHORTS WITH THE DOGGY?!?!?!"  Why yes, son, we did grab your Coastal Dog swim shorts.

Nintendo Kicks Off The Play Nintendo Tour at Westfield Mall in Culver City

Hey there.  Who wants to play the latest Nintendo games?!  Who wants to meet some of their favorite Nintendo characters?  If you said yes to any of those questions, then you can't miss Nintendo's upcoming national tour!  The Play Nintendo Tour will take over malls across America to showcase Nintendo's hit games and they'll also have some of their top characters on hand to interact with their loving fans.  Not much in details are out just yet but I do know that they'll be kicking off that national tour right here in Southern California.  First stop?  Westfield Mall in Culver City!  And guess what... I'M AN INVITED GUEST!  Whoo hoo!

Twix Bites Bite Size Big Taste Prize Pack Giveaway

Hey there.  How many of us go to the movie theater?  I'm pretty sure each of us has gone out to catch a flick on the big screen.  One of the best things about heading out to the theater is having the whole movie going experience with that special someone.  That includes settling into those comfy chairs, picking up a tub of popcorn, and grabbing that perfect movie watching candy snack to share.  But that's where it gets a bit difficult...  what is the perfect movie candy snack to share?  Personally, I go with the chocolate.  The wife and I LOVE chocolate.  In particular, Twix bars.  The problem with getting Twix, though, is that we'll finish it before we even know it.  Once the wrapper comes off, you just have to eat the whole thing!  If only they came in small bite sized bits so that they'll last through the whole movie!  Well, guess what?!  Our good friends at Mars Chocolate have solved our problem.  Introducing Twix Bites!  The perfect bite sized snack for movie watching!  Don't believe me?  Well, let's put it to the test, no?

What I'm Playing... Seed 4 Lord of War

Hey there. Mobile gaming is everywhere now a days. You can play games on your handheld gaming system, smartphone, or tablet.  It's impossible not to be sucked into a complete time waster (Flappy Bird, anyone?) or get immersed in total war with others (Clash of Clans).  So when a mobile game is recommended to me, I always check it out to see if it falls in one of the above categories.  So what's my latest time waster?  Seed 4!  Seed 4 is the 4th installment in the Seed series.  I haven't had a chance to check out the previous three but I have had a chance to play this one and you know what... I'm loving it!

The Case of the Missing Wedding Picture

Our wedding picture.  Well... not quite but pretty damn close!  lol

Hey there. Every weekend, for the past month or so, the wife and I have been working our butts off to make our house a home.  We've put up furniture, we've put up curtains, we've picked up couches, we've set up our kitchen, we cleared out our garage, we've set up our rooms, we even got ourselves a new TV.  But you know what... it still didn't feel like home.  Like my wife mentioned last weekend, it still feels like we're staying in a hotel.  Hmmm...  It sucks when your house doesn't feel like your home, but we realized why!  We had absolutely NO pictures up on the walls.  NONE.  We've spent so much time and energy setting everything else up that we didn't bother with the pictures.  Well, that's the project we handled last weekend!
