A few days ago, I was invited to try out ScoreBig. ScoreBig is a site that you can get tickets to concerts, attractions, sporting events and more at a discount. You can get tickets one of two ways. You can buy them at the fixed price or you can make an offer to get the tickets at an even lower price. I’ve browsed ScoreBig once or twice but had never attempted to buy anything. I was very excited because we have wanted to take our daughter to a Rangers game for quite a while now. Now that my husband is back on a regular work schedule, we are able to take her. After browsing the home game listings, I settled on either May 17 or 18. May 17th was my preferred date since it’s an evening game and I figured that it would be cooler. I selected the number of tickets and then the seating area. I placed my offer, filled in my address and billing info, and then submitted it. The great thing about ScoreBig is that they won’t bill you unless you win the offer. My offer didn’t go through because ...

TV Review – Southern Charm
A few days ago, I was invited by Sverve to live tweet during this weeks new episode of Southern Charm. Southern Charm is a new reality series on Bravo that follows six friends, all from aristocratic & super rich families. I have never watched the show before, let alone heard of it. After checking out the official website, I thought that I would be ready to jump in at mid-season and be able to follow along. Nope. I could barely keep up with the all of the drama going on between the characters. Basically, all the main cast does is eat, drink & go through sexual partners like I go through socks. The guys are all in their 30s & 40s, and pine after 20 year olds…mostly because they are too immature to attract women their own age. The episode focused mostly on the relationship between Thomas & Kathryn. Kathryn is actually a non-cast member who is only on the show because she is dating Thomas. She ends up stealing the spotlight from the two main female leads ...
Product Review – Witch Costumes from Anytime Costume
A week ago, I was invited to pick out a costume from Anytime Costumes. Anytime Costumes is an online site that sells costumes, wigs, makeup and other accessories. After browsing the site, I picked out a costume for my daughter. The costume I picked out was a Halloween Candy Inspired Sorcerer, or a Candy Corn Witch. It consists of a dress and matching hat. There is a matching broom available that you can buy separately. The dress is black on top, and the skirt is layered in white, orange & yellow. The hat is also white, orange & yellow, making it look like a piece of candy corn. The dress is very well made and the fabric is very nice. It all comes in a sturdy zip up garment bag to protect it. My daughter looks absolutely adorable in it and can’t wait for Halloween to come so she can wear it. I was a little worried that it would be too big for her since I got it in a child’s small (fits 4 – 6) & she normally wears a 5T in tops and 4T in bottoms (depending on the ...
Product Review – Scott’s Liquid Gold
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. A few weeks ago, I was sent a can of Scott’s Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner & Preservative. Scott’s has been around since 1951 and has become a household name. It’s made in America, and is made of an organic oil formula with not silicone or wax. You can also use is on stainless steel, chrome and brass. My grandmother use to swear by Scott’s and used it on all her wood furniture. All of her end tables, coffee table & dining room hutch still look great even after being in storage for many years. I use them now, and aside from cleaning them up when I first got them, I haven’t ever really used anything on them. The coffee table gets a lot of use, so I decided to see how much of a difference Scott’s would make. There are a lot of spots on the back of the dowers due to age and how long the table was in storage. After wiping it down really good, many of the spots are gone and the ones that are still there are faded. ...
Book Review – Tell Me A Story: A Parent’s Review of 250 Great Books for Kids by Grace Sandford
Last week, I was sent a copy of Tell Me A Story by Grace Sandford. Tell Me A Story is a guide to the best stories and books for children. It is broken down into age groups and has in-depth descriptions of the books. The book is broken into 5 sections depending on age. The ages run from newborn all the way to 15. This is a massive list of books and you can quickly see that a lot of time went into gathering all of the information. Books range from well-known classics, like Peter Pan, to newer books like Harry Potter, and many of them are award winners. My daughter is 4, and she’s is just started to read on her own a bit. We went through the beginner books and she’s already picked out several that she wants. I also read longer chapter books to her at bed time. After browsing some of the listed chapter books, she wants to read Ella Enchanted next. I also saw several that I’m going to suggest to my teenage sister-in-law as well. Overall, this is a wonderful resource for ...
Product Review – Total Colon Cleanse and Detox 7 Day Weight Loss Slim System
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. A few weeks back, I was sent a bottle of Total Colon Cleanse and Detox. Made by Elite Gold Solutions, it promotes natural weights loss, boost energy & improve health by gently listening and softening built up waste matter in your colon. I have never tired a colon cleanse product before, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I hoped that it would help me loose at least a few pounds and maybe even get rid of a little fluid. You take one pill twice a day with a full glass of water before a meal, for seven days. When I checked out the amazon page for info, I saw that several of the reviews posted that they were taking at least three to get better results. While taking it, I noticed a slight increase in energy and I felt better. I also noticed that I wasn’t retaining as much fluid during the day. By the end of the week, I was down about 5 pounds. However, the weight was back after a few days. I decided to try ...
