Fitted Wardrobe Guides And Reviews

Posted on May 31, 2012 by Mimi

My little dude and I are smack dab in the midst of merging lives with my other best half and let me tell you, it isn’t as easy as you’d imagine it to be. There’s the simple fact that we now all have to share space but there is also the part where I get to take over his closets or as our friends beyond the pond would call it, his wardrobe space. Lucky for him, I recently started researching fitted wardrobes and all I can say is wow. If you’re thinking of a fitted wardrobe – take a look here.

$50,000 Worth Of Prizes Up For Grabs In The Colace Comfort Sweepstakes

Posted on May 29, 2012 by Mimi

My best half won’t admit it but he is the most directionally-challenged person I know.
I’m a close second, by just a hair.
I get lost every single time I venture further than my front door step without my GPS to guide me.
But unlike him,I’m not afraid to stop and ask for directions if I get lost.
He’d rather keep driving in circles until he finds his destination.
He’s a guy like that.
And I love that particular brand of stubborness on him.
It cracks me up – every. single. time.

Last night he got lost in heavy traffic and instead of me laughing,I actually started worrying about him and then it dawned on me,father’s day is around the corner and I know just the perfect gift to get him – a GPS!
Hope he isn’t reading this.

Want to snag a cool Garmin GPS for the guy in your life too?
Or for someone you know who happens to be directionally-challenged?
Ofcourse you do and guess what?
There are 25 of them up for grabs in The Colace Comfort Sweepstakes.

But GPS’ aren’t the only prizes being handed out,they have kindles, iPads, robes, gift cards and even Tempur-Pedic Mattresses!
But you’ve got to hurry because this sweep ends sooooooon.

Win A Pure Fix Cycles The Whiskey Bicycle For Dad (or yourself)

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Mimi

Hey, guess what?
Father’s Day is next month.
Are you ready for it?
Have you already gotten the dad in your life a present?
No, another tie won’t do – you’ve been giving him ties since you turned 13.
And no, he doesn’t need yet another wallet – the one he has is just perfect,thank you very much.
And breakfast in bed? Isn’t that what you just did for mom?

Ready to give up?
Don’t.
Hook him up with a bike.
Whether he is athletic or not, he’ll love you for it.
The weather is gorgeous and he can just jump on that baby after work and ride around the neighborhood for an hour or two while the supper cooks.
A bike is a practical gift for dad on Father’s day.
And it won’t break your bank account.
But just in case you’d rather get it for free, the good folks over at Parenting Magazine are giving away one but I have to warn you – it’s so cool,you’ll probably want to keep it for yourself!

Lease A Horse

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Mimi

Summer is right around the corner and I’m busy finding activities to do with my little dude. I’m primarily interested in stuff we have never done before and leasing a horse is right up there on my list. We can’t afford to buy a horse, we wouldn’t have anywhere to put it anyway but we can lease one for a while, have fun with it and return it for someone else to enjoy. That’s where Horses For Lease comes in. They have a whole bunch of horses you can lease in various locations or if you own a horse, you can list it for free.

I See A Trip To Fiji In Your Future

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Mimi

We have this huge tree right in the middle of the front yard and this morning I contemplated going right up to it and giving it a big ol’ hug because today is “Love A Tree Day”.

Then reality hit me in the face – one, the neighbors would probably call the cops and tell them I’ve lost it and two,if I told my boyfriend I had hugged the tree, he would laugh really hard at me or commit me to a mental institution or both.
Plus I probably would have walked away with ants all over my body, which would have truly sucked.
So I nixed that idea.
It wasn’t a brilliant one anyway.
I’ll love our big tree from a distance.

Hanging out in Fiji and dancing under their coconut trees at sunset though is an idea you shouldn’t nix.
And if you’re wondering how that can turn into reality,well, wonder no more because the good folks at FIJI Water want to send you and a friend on a 7-night trip to Fiji.
The itinerary is full of very exciting activities for you and your guest and hey, even if you don’t win the grand prize, you won’t be disappointed by the runner-up prizes!

FIJI Water – Win a Trip to Fiji Sweepstakes
x 1 per person
Ends 8/15/12

Here Come The Men In Black Armed With A Gazillion Prizes

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Mimi

I don’t know if you’ve heard of this small-time movie called Men In Black.
Or the sequel that followed it called Men In Black II.
If you’ve seen them or overheard someone talking about them, you’ll be glad to know that those two small films where so successful, they decided to make a third one and guess what it’s called?
Men In Black III.

Agent J and Agent K are back in action on May 25,2012 and while I personally can’t wait to spend some time with my two favorite alien hunting agents, I’m even more thrilled at the prizes Sony is offering in the Sony Men in Black 3 Sweepstakes. There are weekly prizes that range from HDTVs to home theaters, cameras and ofcourse MIB DVDs.
