Five Question Friday

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?
We meet at a Pizza Hut a mutual friend managed one night when he was on leave (he was a Marine). It definitely not instantly love. The first time we meet neither one of us cared for each other (bad first impression both ways).  It wasn't until the next time he was back on leave that we clicked.

2. What is your favorite room in your house?
I love my kitchen. Not because I love cooking or anything like that but because we gutted it and redid it exactly how I wanted it. It is beautiful!

3. Can you wiggle your ears?
Nope

4. What is your evening ritual?
Hmm the only thing that is a ritual in our house is me falling asleep one the couch before 9pm while the hubby watches TV or does homework or plays video games.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
To function well - 7, minimum in order to get out of bed and do something 5.

Applied Labels Review

Applied Labels has thought of something really impressive in this mom's book - dishwasher friendly labels! So when applied labels asked me to sample their product, I jumped at it. With sweet potato in daycare and going to different "social" events I have been looking for labels that could withstand washing on sippy cups or snack containers. Applied Labels promised all this!

About Applied Labels (from their website):
The sleek, clean, sharp, classic alternative to labels that shout.
Our extraordinarily tough labels are dishwasher & laundry safe.
Award Winning Products. Lead, BPA &; DEHP Free. Made in the USA!

Extremely tough and ultra versatile, they're perfect for labeling everything from bottles, sippies and shoes to school supplies, gadgets, summer camp gear and all those little things that go to early childcare centers. Available with and without icons or with a second line of custom print. Great for grown-ups too!

Ultra Durable & Dishwasher-Safe
Permanent Adhesive & Ink
High Resolution & Perfectly Sized: 1.5" x 0.5"

 

My Take:
These labels are dishwasher friendly! I washed sweet potato's sippy cup (top shelf) and the label showed no sign of peeling or tearing like you would with most other sticker labels. Usually just the getting wet part would cause a label to peel away. So it stood the test of washing and this product is definitely mommy approved!
I was given 52 labels with my son's name on them and that will probably last me a year since they last so well.

Please understand the labels I received included my son's and since I prefer not to share that here I have used Applied Labels stock photos.

Balloonatiks Review and Giveaway

I recently had an opportunity to review the "Balloonatiks: The Collectors" DVD. If you haven't heard of the Balloonatiks, let me tell you a little bit about them; AND how you can win a "Balloonatiks: The Collectors" DVD for yourself.

Who are the Balloonatiks?:
The Balloonatiks (Flator, Squeeker, Airbrain, Sparky, and Bouncer) are five ordinary teens that were mysteriously transformed into rubbery, shape-stretching super heroes who take on the evil-doers that dare to threaten Hot Air City.

What my son liked about the Balloonatiks:
When we first got the DVD my son saw the movie and wanted to watch it right away. The theme song that plays at the beginning of the movie had my kids up and dancing, I noticed that the voice sounded familar and learned that it is Ray Parker Jr. singing (the guy that sings the theme song to Ghostbusters). It was hilarious to see my son laughing during almost the entire DVD. Immediately after it ended he to watch it again.` Both cartoons are filled with off the wall zaniness, bizarre super villians, wild sight-gags and Over the top Heroics. We all enjoyed the Balloonatiks DVD and my only complaint is that I wish they had more movies!

Also for the older kids they can visit the Balloonatiks website which has information on all the characters, games, and even science experiements that kids can do at home. If you have kids this is a great site for them to look around and have some fun. They also have a store where you can purchase Balloonatiks gear, books and more.

What I liked about the Balloonatiks!:
They are fun! They have wacky sense of humors and each of the characters has a special ability, such as the ability to create static electricity. After visiting the Ballonatiks website (www.balloonatiks.com), we learned that each character also has a set of likes and dislikes which includes exercise, eating healthy, science and math (likes), and bullies, mean people, and people who are late. There's still enough "real" kids likes and dislikes to interest real kids – i.e. disliking being without pizza, homework and losing.

The characters are wonderfully drawn and animated in bright colors to appeal to younger kids; and the soundtrack and the adventures they get into will appeal to older kids.

Buy it:

You can purchase your own Balloonatiks: Collector's Set DVD on Amazon for $14.99.

Win it:

One of my readers will win their very own copy of the Balloonatiks: Collector's DVD set!

Five Question Friday

1. What movie could you watch over and over again and not get tired of?
Easy! Pretty Women! I can watch that move back to back, time and again! I love it!

2. What's your biggest pet peeve right now?
Whinny People! Ugh! Not cool! We all have things we are not happy about, I don't need to hear every single "bad" thing that happens to you! Grow up and either grow a set or put on your big girl panties and get over it!

3. If you had to describe your best friend in five words or less, what would you say?
Supportive Awesome Bitch!

4. If you did not have to worry about money or go to school what would you do for a living?
Be an event planner. I love planning weddings and parties and conferences! I love all the detail and the background that goes into putting on a great event!

5. What is your one "splurge" item, that you will always buy, no matter the cost?
It use to be my face cleanser, moisturizer and makeup but now that I'm a Mary Kay consultant that's not as much of a splurge any more. Now the one thing I have to have even though it's not the most "economical" is the single serve on the go water flavor packets. I use them constantly! I drink tons of water but it can't be plain and I can't drink the same flavor multiple times in a day.  So multiple flavors of the single serve packets are in order.

Five Question Friday

1. What is your current favorite book, and why?
Hmm - While I wont say favorite I will say most referenced currently are my potty training books.  I am bound and determined to have sweet potato out of diapers before my birthday in August.

2. Do you go to the dentist regularly? 
Umm we use to but not so much anymore. We have the intention to and have even made appointments to but just don't seem to be able to actually make it.
 
3. What is your worst memory from High School?
Being taken away in an ambulance during passing time. Not getting in to to many specifics but let just say it had to do with diet pills and a goody to shoe blabber mouth!

4. What do you hope to be remembered for in your life?
Honestly I want to be remembered simply as a great mother and friend. 

5. Are you superstitious or do you have any superstitions? 
Yes and no. I "knock on wood" a lot but don't buy in to the whole black cat or walking under ladders bad luck stuff. But when I preformed and competed in dance when I was younger I had to have a certain teddy bear with me.
