Happy National Fried Chicken Day PLUS 4 Text To Win Sweeps

Posted on July 6, 2012 by Mimi

Today is National Fried Chicken Day.
Seriously.
I can’t make some of this stuff up.
Even I am not that good.
Seriously.
Can you believe there is actually a day to celebrate fried chicken?
Since I live in the South,I can actually believe it because let’s face it, there are about 5 fried chicken joints within walking distance of my crib – in either direction.
Now,personally,I like my chicken baked but just for today,I’m going to blast “Chicken Fried” by the Zac Brown Band from my radio and get me a bucket of fried chicken and then proceed to clog up my arteries with some yummy fried chicken.
Happy National Fried Chicken Day everyone.
And hey, while you munch on that finger lickin’ fried chicken, use the other hand to enter these 4 text to win sweeps.

A Diamond Round Frame Buckle Ring in 14k White Gold To Cool You Down In This Crazy Summer Heat

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Mimi

The temperature in Atlanta today is expected to go up as high as 103.
Yesterday it hit 105 degrees.
The day before yesterday it was definitely over 100 degrees.
I feel like my little man and I packed our bags and moved right to the middle of the Sahara desert.

Ofcourse the fact that both our ACs – in the car and in the house – aren’t working isn’t helping matters a single bit.
But things could be worse, I suppose so I refuse to complain.
I am wallowing in misery because of all this heat and I can only think of one thing that would bring a smile to my face (hint to my best half if he happens to read this ;) ):
A 1/2 CT. T.W. diamond round frame buckle ring in 14k white gold would go a very long way in turning my frown into a smile and wouldn’t you know it, Gordon’s Jewelers just happens to be giving away one of those in their new sweep!

Get Ripped Like Captain America

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Mimi

I have a thing for nerdy men so I have never been that girl who swoons over ripped guys but I have to say that scene in The Avengers where Chris Evans’ muscles are on full display had my eyes popping out of the sockets. Seriously. I didn’t see Captain America so I had no idea the guy was crazy ripped because the last movie I saw him in – What’s Your Number, he was just his normal buff self. Anyway, if you want to know how he got so ripped, you have to check out the Chris Evans Captain America Workout Routine and Diet.

Posted on July 1, 2012 by Mimi

Mom to Bed by 8, the Iowa-Mom is proud to present the The New iPad Giveaway Event, sponsored by BeeSavy.

Special thank you to our co-hosts VoiceBoks, Pardon My Poppet, What’s Up? – Contests, Freebies and Everything Nice and To Sew With Love.

Compare prices on millions of products from hundreds of trusted online stores.

No matter where you shop or what you’re buying, you’ll save $:

I know what I want… but where should I buy it? Search for any product in BeeSavy’s search engine. BeeSavy show you all the stores selling that product along with the total price at each of those stores. The total price includes the list price, tax and shipping costs, cash back discount, and coupon savings.

I already know where I’m shopping… how do I save $? Even for you brand-loyal shoppers, you can save money every time you shop at your favorite stores. Click the Shop By Store button in the top right to get started. First, check for coupons at your favorite store. Next, click through to your favorite store and make a purchase. When you shop online through BeeSavy, you will earn a cash back discount. Your cash back discount will post to your BeeSavy account within 1-4 days. BeeSavy will send you a check or deposit your cash back into your PayPal account once your balance reaches $10.

Other BeeSavy benefits for online shoppers:

Trusted retailers only! Unlike other comparison shopping websites, BeeSavy carefully chooses each and every one of its stores to ensure a safe and secure shopping experience. If you ever have a bad experience with a BeeSavy store, please let them know right away.

BeeSavy benefits for online retailers:

It’s a win-win-win. With most forms of marketing, online retailers must pay upfront with no guarantee of results; however, with cost-per-sale marketing, online retailers only pay BeeSavy when it generates a sale. Online retailers choose a commission rate that fits within their profit margin, thereby ensuring a positive return on their marketing dollars. By giving most of this commission to the purchasing customer as a cash back rebate, BeeSavy utilizes this online retailer marketing method to save its customers money that traditional comparison shopping websites cannot match (due to their cost-per-click revenue model).


One lucky winner will receive an iPad 3rd Generation, 16GB Unit from BeeSavy!

Horses For Lease

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Mimi

The summer break is halfway over (at least where I live) and I bet you’re running out of ways to keep the kids entertained but before you go into panic mode, allow me to remind you of a little known secret that will make both them and you happy: leasing horses. I have blogged about Horses For Lease before and I’m doing it again because their site offers something that benefits everyone. Even if you don’t have kids and you want to have fun with horses but simply can’t afford to own one right now, you can still find plenty of horses for lease here. And if you have a horse and want to make some extra cash, you can list your horse for free without even registering. Everyone is a winner in this situation!

Declare Your Unlimited Love For Something And Win

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Mimi

If you put me on the spot right this second and told me I had to name 5 things I have unlimited love for,this would be my list. Oh and people count as “things” in this case.So in no particular order,here goes..

1. My little man
2. My best half
3. My mother, Auntie G and my siblings
4. The person who invented honey BBQ wings
5. My “peaches” whom I only get to see once a month – they know who they are!

The funny thing is I thought I would struggle to name 5 things but by the time I got to number 3, I realised I had way more than 5 and there is no way I could fit everything on such a small list..like for example I had to leave out YOU – the person reading this.I have so much love for you,you have no idea. And it’s not the “I’ll park outside your house and stalk the heck out of you” crazy kind of love,it’s the real deal.

So if you had to write a list, what would it look like?
I hope it includes Sprint because they have this amazing sweep where they will hook you up with whatever you have unlimited love for.
All you have to do is tell them what it is.
Or you can simply opt for the $25,000 cash alternative.
And if you’re not the grand prize winner, you can still win one of 40 super sleek new HTC EVO 4G LTE phones.

Ready to spill your guts?

Makeover For Your Man Plus An Autographed Ronaldinho Jersey – Two Text To Win Sweeps

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Mimi

Let me preface today’s blog post with a disclaimer.
I am NOT responsible for any divorces or arguments this post will cause.
Ladies (and some of you guys), one of the sweeps in this post is about a makeover for the dude in your life and he probably needs it but he won’t appreciate the fact that you think he needs it.
So,if the two of you get into a big fight over this,don’t blame me..simply remind him that he’s getting a free trip plus 2K to blow on a whole new wardrobe..that should hush him right up and restore peace in your household.
But if it doesn’t, just pull out the lingerie..that always works.
Guys,you can thank me later for that lingerie tip ;)
For now though, let’s all focus on the two text to win sweeps I have for you:

Text MYMAN to 89074

prize – makeover trip to Charlotte,NC with the man in your life that is getting the said makeover plus $2,000 Belk Gift Card

x 1 per day

prize – autographed Ronaldinho jersey

So,what exactly is it about?
There is a fashion line called GUESS by Marciano.
They are giving away a dress a day for the whole month of June.
The dresses are in the $120- $180 price range.
And if you win and the dress doesn’t fit, you can send it to me.

Even More Text To Win Sweeps

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Mimi

Yah!! It’s Monday – or as I like to call it, a fresh start.
I’m probably the only person in the world that likes Mondays.
Now it hasn’t always been this way ofcourse, especially not in college when Mondays were an absolute nightmare – I’d wake up to a quiz almost every single Monday, then have classes for a good portion of the day before heading down to the campus newspaper office and hanging out until I got an assignment.
That last part is what made my Mondays tolerable.

Now,I have something that will make your Monday tolerable – and really fun if you win…
…it’s actually two (almost) new text to win sweeps.
So without further ado,I give you the text 2 win sweeps you are waiting for..
MAKE it a great Monday you lovely peeps!

MycoGold – Complete Mycorrhizal Fungi

Posted on June 3, 2012 by Mimi

Pop quiz: what is mycorrhizal fungi? If you don’t know what it is or what it does, don’t feel bad because I didn’t either until I came across BioStim. They have MycoGold which is essential if you plan to do any gardening this summer. It has beneficial bacteria that will boost production and encourage better plant growth as well as protect your plants from diseases. My best half, the little dude and I are contemplating starting a garden in the backyard soon and you can bet incorporating this fungi into our garden is on my list of things to do.
