The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook - #Review #AD

 Let me just go ahead and be honest with you... We are not big Hocus Pocus fans! Don't get me wrong, we don't dislike it, we just aren't ones that are avid watchers of the movie... We actually JUST watched it for the first time the other night.  Mainly because EVERYONE we know (for the most part, some exaggeration here you guys!) seems to LOVE this movie.  Anyways, not wanting people laughing about me not knowing anything about Hocus Pocus, we ended up watching it. It is a cute movie and by watching it, now I know what my friends are talking about!  When I was given the opportunity to review The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook, I knew I did want to check it out!!!

FTC Compliant Review Policy:  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.

So, this book has a little of this and a little of that.  
There are drinks - alcoholic and virgin. There are meals and there are snacks!  Just take a look at the sections included:  Life-Giving Fall Favorites ...  Recipes for Salem Townsfolk ... From the Witches Spellbook ... Bewitching Brews and Beverages...  Way to Go Virgin Drinks .. Odds and Ends.   

I am interested in trying out the Mischief Night Pasta for the kids!  Pasta, ground turkey and broccoli!  YUM!!!  I took a little trip down memory lane when I read the recipe for Popcorn Balls!  I remember my grandma having them, so this will be fun to make with the kids one night!  If you are going to have a party -- Burning Rain of Death Punch (*this is alcoholic) or Peach Sunrise Mocktail (non alcholic) might be great to serve for a change!  

This was a fun book to flip through and quite a few dishes I want to try out before sharing this book with someone else!!!  


Are you a fan of Hocus Pocus?  Do you ever host Halloween Parties?

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...

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!!!!...
