Hey Y'all - #PaulaDeen #Giveaway

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a few photos from a pretty cool luncheon I was able to attend today.  None other than Paula Deen herself was there!  She was just as sweet as the tea I drink and just as friendly as I would expect being that we are from the same hometown!  (Yes, I did have to tell her that!  Hometown pride!)  
We were able to watch as she made what appears to be a super easy meal.  ( I will let you know once I attempt to make it!)   It was a chicken and sausage jambalaya using Springer Mountain Chicken!   I was one of those not familiar with this chicken, but after tasting it, I will be looking for it at the store.
While Paula was there cooking (and chatting, LOVE the chatting.. it was like we were all old friends just chit chatting away!)  we were able to learn more about her new Paula Deen Network.  It is her website that has a little of this, some of that and a whole lot of love.  I plan on checking it out, just for the cute video's and also to try out some of her recipes!
She has everything from one pot meals to meals with 5 or less ingredients.  Recipes that seem easy enough for a non-chef such as myself to attempt without feeling overwhelmed!  

Now, the best part of this?
I get to giveaway 2 tickets to her PAULA DEEN LIVE SHOW in Atlanta THIS Sunday (November 16th)

I am going to make this super easy, since it is a fast turnaround.
Just leave me a comment telling me who you would take with you if you win.
Please leave at least a 2 sentence comment and your email address so I can contact you if you are the winner.
Contest will end Wednesday Evening at 11:30 pm.

    You are seriously lucky! My parents and I went on a Paula Dean tour in Savannah last year around Christmas and it was awesome, the only thing that would make it better was meeting her. Lots of respect for this woman. Wish we lived closer!

    That is fun that you got to watch her cook. I always wonder how the food tastes that the celebrity chefs make on TV. :)

    It's so great you got to meet her. I felt really bad when some stores were taking her stuff off the shelves. She apologized. People make mistakes. We forgive people for worse things. Not only that, but her stuff is cool.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
