My Heritage Look-alike Meter

Still trying to figure out who your kid resembles the most? Try My Heritage’s Look-alike Meter. The hubby and I are still trying to figure it out. Little Monkey looks more like the hubby to me, but people always say that there are features on him that look more like mine. I don’t know. What I do know for sure is that my son took on my attitude with his heavy sighs, short temper, and trying to use his cuteness to get out of trouble!

And if you get really bored or just want to be amused you can try out the Celebrity Collage! I’ll take these results! These ladies are all beautiful.

Disclosure: I have not received any compensation for posting this. I was asked to consider sharing the information. And I’ve actually used these meters before, so I thought this would be fun.

Little Tikes Spray & Rescue Fire Truck Giveaway – CLOSED

Little Tikes is celebrating their 40th anniversary in business!

Little Monkey needed a little help with his Spray & Rescue Fire Truck since he was going uphill.

It is as much fun for a 3 year old as it is for a 10 year old (my brother-in-law) who was hot and waiting to get sprayed with water.

Little Tikes Spray and Rescue Fire Truck is so adorable! There is assembly required. And I will admit that the hubby put this together, but it is only because one of us had to distract our toddler while one of us put his truck together. It only took the hubby one attempt to put everything together – and no there were no extra pieces left over.

We let our little guy ride his Spray and Rescue Fire Truck around the house, but we are sure to empty out the water tank so that our house isn’t soggy. Little Monkey enjoys his truck with or without the water fun.

Not only can your little ones water your garden, but my little guy and his uncle enjoyed just soaking each other while we were outside on a sunny day. I like this truck because right now my little guy is still struggling with pedals and manually scoots his bike while he sits on it. So this one he enjoys because he feels in control of it. And Little Tikes is the maker of his other favorite toy the Cozy Coupe. We don’t own this toy, but you can be sure that the places we have been that there has been one we can’t get him out.

Features:

Pressurized water tank and hose really squirts water.
Water tank is easily removed for easy filling and holds up to 2 gallons of water.
Ages 1 1/2 to 5 years.

Buy it: Little Tikes Spray & Rescue Fire Truck for $69.99

One Barely Domestic Mama reader will win a Spray & Rescue Fire Truck.

Cascade’s 24 Hour Challenge – CLOSED

When I was contacted by My Blog Spark to take Cascade’s 24 Hour Challenge, I jumped at the opportunity. I’ve been wanting to try the new Cascade All-in-1 ActionPacs already but I just wasn’t sure about it yet. Before we tried the All-in-1 ActionPacs, we were using the regular Cascade with Dawn ActionPacs and I rinsed the dishes beforehand.

Cascade’s All-in-1 ActionPacs combines the best of powder and gel in one powerful pac.

Cascade+Complete+package Cascades 24 Hour Challenge CLOSED

The 24 Hour Challenge asked that we make a Blueberry Cobbler. Once we were done eating up that delicious Blueberry Cobbler we were to set out the plate for 24 hours before putting it in the dishwasher. Oh and did I mention they said No Rinsing?! It was hard. So hard that I had the hubby load the dishwasher without rinsing the dish for me. Here were my results:

Before After

I was really expecting to have to rewash this dish. I was more than pleased with the results. I will definitely be switching over to Cascade All-in-1 Actionpacs! I may have tried this experiment with a Blueberry Cobbler on more than one occasion. That Blueberry Cobbler was delicious!

One Barely Domestic Mama reader will win a $25.00 gift card to Walmart.

More Barefoot Wine please!

Barefoot wines were originally introduced in 1965 by self-taught California winemaker Davis Bynum. After years of making “garage-style” home wines, Bynum opened up a winery in Alameda Davis and released Barefoot Bynum Burgundy for sale in his tasting room only.

In 1986, Michael Houlihan and his partner Bonnie Harvey purchased the brand and set about reviving “the Foot.” They launched the new “Barefoot Cellars” with two varietals: Barefoot California Cabernet Sauvignon and Barefoot California Sauvignon Blanc.

Barefoot is involved in thousands of charitable events worldwide.

I love a glass of wine every now and then to relax and wind down. Doesn’t everyone?! Barefoot Wines sent me two bottles to try Zinfandel andBrut Cuvée Champagne…that’s after the hubby and I went out and bought a delicious White Zinfandel by Barefoot. My best friend and cousin through marriage read my tweet that I was sitting down to have a glass of wine with dinner and she replied “Barefoot white zin is the best stuff on earth… seriously… love it!” The White Zinfandel is crisp. It has a light hint of fruit taste. The bottle says flavors like Georgia peach and pineapple, sun-ripened strawberries and succulent pear. Yum. I was a little worried when I saw that Barefoot sent a Zinfandel (red) wine. You see I can’t drink even just a glass of red wine without feeling like I’ve spent a night out on the town throwing back shots. No next day hangover. Yeah! It had a strong full taste, but not overbearing. This red wine would be perfect for a Sangria! We have a Brut Cuvée Champagne to try this weekend in celebration for a house warming party. I’ll definitely update with my thoughts on the Champagne.

One Barely Domestic Mama reader will win this fabulous prize below…

Summer fun essentials – a tote bag, wine opener, stemless wine glass, and a big soft beach towel. I know summer is ending, but really who can’t appreciate this stuff?!

How to Enter (required): Check out the Barefoot Wine & Bubbly flavors and comment on your favorite flavor and what you would love to eat it with.

For Those About to Hop

The Imagination Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty — began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and “I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).”

Finally a kid’s show that doesn’t make me want to jump out the window! Little Monkey LOVES the Imagination Movers. Very often I find him getting down, standing up, and then turning around and around and around…that is one of their regularly played songs in the show. Believe me it took me forever to wonder why my son would squat, stand up, and spin. I thought he was cool enough to come up with this on his own! The Imagination Mover’s just released their newest album “For Those About to Hop”! This was the first time I put on a children’s cd for Little Monkey. He was surely confused when he heard the music, but couldn’t see the show. Little Monkey definitely works up a sweat when this cd comes on and so do I – since we run around the house dancing to the cd! My fave songs are “Jungle Room”, “Mother in You”, and “Fix It Up” just to name a few.

One Barely Domestic Mama reader will win their own copy of Imagination Movers cd “For Those About to Hop”.

How to Enter (required): Tell me what you like best about Imagination Movers. (If your email is not visible through your public profile, make sure to leave it in your comment.)

Bake Me a Wish! Gourmet Cake Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

Bake Me a Wish! gourmet cakes are made with only the finest, freshest ingredients by an award-winning family run New York bakery that also supplies pastries to some of Manhattan’s most elite restaurants.

They have a variety of cakes to choose from. Below are just a few of their delicious cakes:

Tiramisu Classico Cake, Red Velvet Chocolate Cake, and S’more Brownie Cake

Bake Me a Wish! sent me a Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake to try. I LOVED it! I had to control myself to take small portions so I don’t swallow the whole cake in just one sitting (I am on a diet)…believe me the thought did cross my mind to devour the cake without sharing. This Brownie Cake is a deliciously moist fudge brownie cake. It is rich, but not too heavy. It is beautifully decorated with milk and dark chocolate glazes drizzled all over and the Belgian chocolate plaque. The fudge brownie melts in your mouth. It is really delicious. My hubby loved this cake as well and he is not a big chocolate fan. This cake can serve 6-8 people (although I’ll tell you now you probably won’t want to share, so order a second for sharing purposes) and it is 7″ in diameter.

5% of any cake order goes to Bake Me A Wish!’s Operation: Birthday Cake, which, together with their partner Soldiers’ Angels donates birthday cakes each month to soldiers overseas who are having a birthday. Follow the link to see the Soldiers’ Response: http://www.bakemeawish.com/banner/Presentation/OBC-SoldierResponse.pdf It really does make a difference to have someone remember your birthday while you are deployed away from home serving your country. My husband celebrated two birthdays (his 20th and 21st birthday) in the desert and he would have loved receiving a cake like this on his birthday to know that he was remembered. It is great that Bake Me a Wish! makes it possible for soldiers to be remembered on their birthday.

Want to buy yourself or someone you love one of these delicious cakes? Go to Bake Me A Wish! to order a cake.

One Barely Domestic Mama reader will win a Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake from Bake Me a Wish!

How to Enter (required): Visit Bake Me a Wish! and tell me which of their cakes you would love to try. This step must be done first before the extra entries. (If your email is not visible through your public profile, make sure to leave it in your comment.)

Chex Mix Turtle Bars (CLOSED)

Do you ever have those days where you crave both salty and sweet treats?! Now if you indulge yourself with that bag of chips and then a bag of m&ms…you probably aren’t feeling too great about yourself (wait…you don’t do that…that’s just me?!) These Chex Mix Turtle Bars have a great combination of caramel, chocolate, peanuts, wheat and corn Chex cereal and pretzels. One Chex Mix Turtle Bar has less than 150 calories, a good source of fiber and at least 8 grams of whole grains per serving! Yummy and not too bad for you. I would’ve liked a little more chocolate in the bar, but it is still yummy nonetheless. I don’t think our two boxes even lasted a week! My hubby devoured these bars and then went in search for them at local grocery store with no luck.

My Blog Spark has offered to giveaway two boxes of Chex Mix Turtle Bars to 3 of my fabulous readers!

How to Enter (required): Tell me how you like to indulge yourself or how do you wind down after a long day. This step must be done first before the extra entries. (If your email is not visible through your public profile, make sure to leave it in your comment.)

Taking Time to Reconnect – Eden Fantasys Giveaway (Closed)

Warning: The Eden Fantasys link will take you to a website that is not suitable for work, children, your parents, grandparents, or other people that you wouldn’t feel comfortable picking out sensual gift sets or toys with.

Drew at Eden Fantasys gave us the opportunity to try out Kamasutra’s Earthly Delights. I picked out this specific set for the hubby and I since it allows us to take the time and reconnect.

A romantic gift set with exciting ways for lovers to keep in touch.

Includes: Original Oil of Love, Spearmint Stimulating Pleasure Balm, French Vanilla Body Soufflé, Sweet Almond Massage Oil, Sweet Honeysuckle Honey Dust with feather applicator.

First, the packaging was so discreet that my hubby had quite the surprise when he opened up the box to see what was inside. There’s no way you would have any idea what was in the box. This is way better than going to the adult stores and if you’re anything like me (shy about buying any bedroom products in public) you feel like a perve for just being there. Funny story – I had a friend of mine think it would be funny to bring me to one of those shops with her to watch me blush at the products in the store. Only the visit backfired on her when she was walking to the counter with a toy for herself. Two guys walked in and she lunged her toy across the room as to appear as if she was not buying anything like that. Hilarious!

Second, the items come with instructions. Sweet! My hubby and I skipped over the instructions and we looked at each other puzzled. In the hubby’s eagerness to get the products out of the box, the instructions fell behind the box. So we were pretty well aware of the products when we got to use them. I loved the products and especially the fact that we have to take the time to use these products before getting to the big show (if you know what I mean).

I’ll admit the smell emitting from the box was rather strong at first as there are lots of scents in the box, but word to the wise (if strong fragrances make you sneezy like me) open the box and let it air out that way it won’t hit you all at once.

We will definitely be purchasing again from Eden Fantasys in the future.

Eden Fantasys is offering one of my lucky readers a $35 gift certificate!

How to enter (required):
• Tell me what you would purchase with your gift certificate OR a funny/embarrassing sex story – please try to keep your story PG-13. (If your email is not visible through your public profile, make sure to leave it in your comment.)

The Good Home Cookbook Giveaway (CLOSED)

I received a copy of this book to review from http://www.abramsbooks.com and I was given a copy to giveaway to one lucky reader! Yeah for you!

About the author

Richard J. Perry runs his own cookbook-lifestyle publishing line, Collectors Press, and is the author of Retro Kids Cooking, Retro Breakfast, and Retro Luau. He has worked as a cook and chef and has appeared on Food Network and Travel Channel. Perry lives in Portland, OR.

This book is great for someone like me who uses a lot of recipes because I am still not comfortable with just tossing what I think will taste best. I like that it gives a little history blurb on where the food originated from. This book has a ton of classic home cooking recipes that were tested in home kitchens across America. Since I am Puerto Rican, I love learning how to cook different meals other than Puerto Rican dishes (which I love, too). I love that this book incorporates recipes that have made their way into American meals, but actually originated overseas. I LOVE food and I especially love trying new foods. Their are so many delicious recipes in this book that it is hard not to get hungry when reading over the recipes. The recipes are separated by breakfast, lunch appetizers, salads, soups, fish and shellfish, poultry, meat, grilling, pasta and rice, vegetables, breads and toppings, pies, cakes, and cookies, other desserts and sweets, and drinks. The appendices covers utensils and equipment, cooking terms, herbs and spices, canning and pickling, freezing and thawing, presentation and garnishing, and holiday menus!

One lucky reader will win “The Good Home Cookbook” courtesy of The Good Home Cookbook and HNA Books.

How to enter (required):
• Tell me one of your favorite recipes – doesn’t matter if it is something you make or something someone else makes for you. (If your email is not visible through your public profile, make sure to leave it in your comment.)
