Win A Royal Caribbean Western Caribbean Cruise for 2

I lost my cruising virginity to Royal Caribbean so I have a very soft spot for that particular cruise line.
I’ve been on their smaller ships – the Majesty and the Monarch and I long to cruise on their bigger ships because I hear they are totally awesome and I want to witness just how awesome they really are firsthand.

I’m writing all that to say that the folks of Cruisedeals.com are at it again and this time they are giving away a 4-5 night Royal Caribbean Western Caribbean Cruise for 2.
If you win this ridiculously awesome sweep, you get to sail on either the Liberty of the Seas or Jewel of the Seas out of Tampa or Ft. Lauderdale.
I can’t decide which one of the two I’d choose but I’m curious to hear which one you would choose and why!
(And hey, don’t forget to enter for a chance to win this cruise below)

Hang Out With Jay Leno In Los Angeles AND Chill With Jimmy Fallon In New York

People often ask me what I recall about my first trip to LA and the answer always sparks some very interesting convos.
It’s not the surfer dudes
Or the ridiculously good food
Or the various waitresses and valets waiting for their big break
Not even the gorgeous beach.
My fave part about that trip was getting to attend a taping of the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.

I didn’t plan to attend the show but as I was strolling down the street, I noticed a long line of people standing outside the building and since I’m nosy by nature,I stopped to ask why they were all standing in the rain.
When they told me why,I immediately got in line and lucky for me, I was one of the few people on the waiting list who actually made it inside.
Andy Garcia was one of the guests that day.
I honestly don’t remember all the details about that evening because it felt like one gigantic dream.
To this day,I still can’t believe I was actually part of Jimmy’s live audience and since photography is prohibited,I don’t even have any proof of this ever taking place :(

Anyway,maybe if you win this new sweep from NBC, you’ll be able to sneak and take some pictures as proof that you actually were part of a taping of a late night show.
No, you’re not going to the Jimmy Kimmel show BUT you have the chance to win a trip to Los Angeles to attending a taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and then fly to New York for a taping of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

And you don’t even have to work too hard for this sweep – simply log into your twitter account and follow one or all of these accounts and you’ll be good to go: @NBCBlacklist, @NBCIronside, @NBCWelcome, @SeanSavestheWorld, @MichaelJFoxShow and/or @NBCDracula. Each follow counts as an entry into the contest so you could snag 6 entries in total!

Rules here. Ends 6/13

If You Were Me And Lived In Mexico….

My little dude and I are currently learning about different countries and cultures. His dad and I come from two different continents so it’s fun watching him learn about both cultures – the similarities and the differences. He’s also taking Spanish in school this semester which has opened up a dialogue about Mexico. I honestly didn’t know how I would be able to talk to my little man about Mexico because I don’t know much about the country and I don’t even speak spanish but I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy of If you were me and lived in… Mexico: A Child’s Introduction to Cultures Around the World (Volume 1) and what a lifesaver it was. The book is simple and fun for both parents and kids and it also covers so many key areas without overwhelming the child.My little guy had a blast reading this book and yours will too!

Share Your Mowment And Win A 2013 Rear Engine Rider

I confess – mowing grass is not my fave thing to do in the whole world.
In fact, I don’t mow my own grass – partly because I’m lazy and partly because I hate sweating (hello,have you seen how much guys sweat when they mow grass?? It’s not as sexy as it looks in movies!)…instead I pay someone to mow my grass.

Now if I had a rear engine rider, you can bet your last dollar I’d be cutting my own grass.
I can actually already picture myself sitting on one with music blasting through my earphones as I beautify my yard.
If reading that last sentence sent you off into daydreaming paradise and you’re wondering how you can get your hands on a cool new rear engine rider, wonder no more because I’ve got you cover.

Well,technically the folks over at Snapper have got you covered.
They are running a new sweep on their Facebook page where you could win a 2013 Rear Engine Rider!!
All you have to do is show them some love by liking their Facebook page and then “share your mowment” on their page.
