SOL REPUBLIC Punk Giveaway!

Christmas came early.....I just received the most compact, powerfully clear, bluetooth wireless speaker and I am STOKED! The best part of this all, and in honor of Cyber Monday,  I get to give a SOL REPUBLIC Punk bluetooth speaker away to one of you!  Yes, YOU!

I don't know about you, but I require music to be a large portion of my day on a daily basis.  I love being able to stream my favorite music apps through wireless bluetooth speakers.  When I'm on the go, it's nice to have a more compact version, without giving up any of the sound quality I enjoy, which makes the SOL REPUBLIC Punk my new on the go favorite.

"SOL REPUBLIC’s PUNK can do more than just provide the soundtrack to an impromptu
hangout with friends or a pick-up two-on-two hoops game. It’s also equipped with line-in
and line-out ports, making it easy to connect it to non-Bluetooth™ devices. Connect
PUNK to your home or car stereo via the 3.5mm jack and it becomes your Bluetooth
hub enabling you to control any stereo wirelessly."

To enter for a chance to win the SOL REPUBLIC Punk for yourself, you must be a resident of the U.S.A or Canada.  Just leave a comment on where you would like to listen to your new Punk, in the comment section below, on this website!  Good Luck!  Winner will be announced and updated on this post on December 12th!!

Here is more information on the SOL REUBLIC Punk, makes a GREAT stocking stuffer for anyone!

Full Disclosure

Special thanks to SOL REPUBLIC for providing the Punk wireless bluetooth speaker. Though the SOL REPUBLIC Punk was provided complimentary, I was not monetarily compensated for this post or any other SOL REPUBLIC related post I've written.  All opinions above are my own.

New Year's SOL REPUBLIC Wireless Speaker Giveaway

Happy almost New Year's!  Are you looking at wireless speakers to spend all that Christmas cash on? Well, you may not need to if you win this SOL REPUBLIC giveaway I'm hosting for an awesome wireless speaker. Your device can connect via Bluetooth OR your old school ipod {like mine} can connect via wire to send you well on your way to listening to all your favorite tunes wherever you choose to take it....maybe on a bike ride, at the pool on vacation, working in the garage or if you're like me, in your kitchen.

I am loving the SOL REPUBLIC wireless speaker, the "DECK" http://www.bestbuy.com/site/deck-wireless-speaker/1664609.p?id=1219058903808&skuId=1664609&st=sol%20republic&cp=1&lp=18   which is done in collaboration with Motorola and was newly released this fall. It holds a charge for a good eight hours or so, has up to 300 foot wireless range and has so many amazing features that are distinct to the product including Heist Mode, the feature that allows for up to 5 people to pair real-time to the device, a dedicated bass chamber (that bumps!) with the option to shift into outdoor mode to raise mids/highs, when needed and a range that is 2x most of the competition. Great for a gift guide list that is $200 and under.

One Step Closer to Organization with Rawlings ~ Giveaway!

I’m not going to tell you that I have completely organized my mud room, or that I’m one of those moms that has found a place for everything my children have drug into the house.

 

I didn’t and I haven’t.

 

The mud room still looks like a complete disaster with 5,000 pairs of shoes, some laundry, a pile of dead batteries waiting to be taken into Pini’s Hardware for recycling, dog food container, 5 socks without mates…..I think I even found a cup in there…and not the kind you drink from.

So when I was contacted by Rawlings to see if I would like to review and giveaway their Vertical Sports Organizer, I thought THIS would be a step in the right direction on the way to an organized mud room.

The Rawlings Sports Organizer is easy to install.  Use a Stud Finder to find a studs….or if you’re like me, just pick a spot and hope for the best.  Six screws and it’s up and ready to stock full of sports equipment.

The BEST part of this.....I get to giveaway one of these helpful Rawlings Vertical Sports Organizers to one of YOU!!  Just leave a comment in the comment section below and the winner will be chosen by next Friday October 4th!!  

Disclaimer:  The Rawlings Vertical Sports Organizer was given to me but the opinion is all my own.

My New Best Friend....Krusteaz Molten Deep Dish Cookies & Giveaway

Krusteaz is something you will find in my pantry as a staple.  I use their pancake/waffle mix year round, I look forward to autumn when their seasonal spiced pumpkin bread/muffin mix, which I LOVE.  So when I was contacted by Krusteaz to inquire whether or not I wanted to try out their new line of Deep Dish Cookies, I of course, said yes.  I know many of you are in the same boat as I am; back to school, classroom parties and special treats needed for events and you may want to try something a little different from the usual cupcake or cookie recipe you bake.  

Krusteaz sent out three different varieties of their new Deep Dish Cookies:  Sugar Cookie with a chocolate center, Chocolate Cookie with a caramel center and the one I chose to bake first, Classic Cookie with a chocolate center.

All that's required to complete the recipe is one stick of butter and one egg.  Easy.  Another bonus.

Mix the box mix with the egg and melted butter to form the cookie dough batter.

Spoon a tablespoon of dough into a ball.

Flatten out into a non-stick sprayed muffin tin.

Snip the chocolate package that's contained in the box and squeeze out about a teaspoon on top of the dough.

Flatten out another tablespoon size dough ball and place on top of the chocolate and press gently to seal the edges.

Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Pop out of the tin.

And you will thoroughly enjoy these deep dish cookies.  Oh my.  The Classic totally tastes like a chocolate chip cookie.....I loved it with a tall glass of ice cold milk.

Krusteaz would love for one of you to WIN the trio yourself!!  All you need to do to enter is leave a comment in the comment section below and I'll pick a winner via Random.org next Friday!  Good Luck!!

Successful women know how to think outside the box and celebrate diversity, independence and equality.  They are savvy, self-confident and poised.  Their career paths began when they were young girls, driven to succeed in their studies and serve as contributing members of their communities.  These are the very traits that define theBratz dolls, and the campaign seeks to build a connection between today’s girls and many of our country’s most prolific women through the Bratz experience.

To celebrate the launch of this important advocacy campaign, we’re giving away the all-new Bratz doll!  Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmin are shaking things up with a 2-inch taller scale, while maintaining their now-ubiquitous beautiful and bold look.   The Bratz dolls increased in size from their original 10-inch scale to a taller 12-inch frame to allow for a wider array of fashion design opportunities as well as enhanced articulation for increased playability.  Ever since their earliest introduction in 2001, the Bratz dolls quickly set themselves apart as innovative, inspiring and independent and capturing the hearts of girls the world-over with their unique, almond-shaped eyes, innovative fashions, strong friendship and cutting-edge style.

Nope, it's NOT a hold up....it's the Shyanne Boot GIVEAWAY!

But dang, it's almost like a hold up!.....I've been talking about it on Twitter and Facebook and it's HERE, finally!  The Boot Barn Shyanne Boot Giveaway just for YOU! Yep, a beautiful pair of leather boots, FREE to one of you.

When I was contacted by Boot Barn to see if I wanted to try out their new line of boots, the Shyanne, I didn't hesitate.  You all know how much I LOVE boots so when given the opportunity to acquire a new, stylin' pair, how could I say no?  

But this is even better because YOU, one of my wonderful readers will have the chance to win your OWN pair!  You'll get to choose from their Shyanne line.  WOOHOO! I'm so excited to be able to offer this to you, courtesy Boot Barn.

But before posting this giveaway, I wanted to try these babies out in as many settings as possible to see how they feel, hold up and how I feel in them.  

I wore them shooting on a Saturday evening.

 Gotta look good when the gun you're shooting has the potential to knock you on your butt, right?

But what I really prefer, is to wear my boots out.  Wearing boots for me, feels like putting on a well worn, comfy glove.  As the leather softens, the boot molds to your foot and there is almost nothing more comfortable.  

So the maiden voyage for these black and turquoise kickers was to my niece's 6th grade promotion ceremony and party.  They dress up a pair of skinny jeans just like that.

 






















When I wore them into San Francisco to attend an event.....I received  so many compliments on these boots.  My favorite option when wearing boots is with a dress.

Paige has some major boot envy.  I can see a mini-me boot purchase for her in the near future.

The thing I really enjoy with these boots is the style.  They have a vintage, distressed look to them and the contrasting turquoise inlay really caught my eye when I was in the process of selecting a style for myself.

I love, love, LOVE these boots.  They easily go from ranch life to playing in the big city to a lazy Sunday afternoon without a problem.

I hope you're as excited as I am about this giveaway!  All you need to do to enter is leave a comment in the comment section below answering this question.........


Where would you wear your new pair of Shyanne boots?


I will announce the winner in one week.  Next Wednesday. USA residents only and Boot Barn cannot ship to P.O. boxes.


These boots are super popular so here's a note from Boot Barn:

“If for any reason the winner’s first style choice and/or size is not available at the time of this giveaway, there may be a delay in prize shipment until new stock arrives or we may ask the winner to select another style.”


GOOD LUCK!!  I hope you'll love them as much as I do!


Although the Shyanne boots were given to me by Boot Barn, this in no way influenced my opinion in writing this review.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment. I love to hear from you! Have a fantastic day!

A Hallmark Giveaway!

On my recent trip to the BlogHer Conference in sunny San Diego, I had the chance to meet with different companies and Hallmark happened to be one of them.  I just received this fun back-to-school confidence package from them.

Before I even had the chance to introduce this little red bug to the kids, Paige found the box and wanted to know immediately if it was for her....I can't hide anything from my little farm girl.

The package also included a few Hallmark cards, themed around school and a bite-sized pad of Lunchbox Notes.  The idea behind the bug, an Encouragement Bug, is to challenge the entire family to support each other by passing it around...one person begins by filling the bug in the zipper pouch with treasures, a coupon {such as good for one bed making, etc.}, a note, etc. and leaves the bug where the recipient will find it.  Once it is found, that person is now in charge of surprising another family member by passing it on.  Fun, right?!

A Farmwives Giveaway is For the Birds

If you've been reading here often, you then know how I love hummingbirds.  I love feeding them, photographing them and just observing them.  Well, just recently I was given the opportunity, through my affiliation with Real Farmwives of  America to pick out a bird feeder of my choice through a company called Perky Pet.  After perusing their website, I chose this beautiful, glass bottle hummingbird feeder.  I thought it would fit in perfectly here in the country.

I really like decorative detail on the bottle and love the fact that it's made of glass, which will hold up nicely to the harsh summer time sun.

Hummingbirds are super easy to attract.  It normally takes 4-5 days for them to come around after placing your filled feeder outside.
