Heads Up: Enter the Chain of Friends Sweepstakes from Hampton Inn

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a child, I grew up around lots of cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. If I correctly add them up in my head, I would have over 40 family members if I combined my mom and dads side. That's alot of family and alot of fun! Every year, we've tried to get together for Christmas. It's always chaotic bringing everyone together for the holiday but once we're all settled in the 'hosts' house, it's wonderful!

Now, if I were to add up my good friends, that number above would double quite easily. Hampton Inn is currently hosting one heck of a sweet sweepstakes that involves both family and friends. The Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes was created to bring you closer to your friends and family! I don't know about you, but I rarely travel over-night with my friends. It isn't that we're not close...because some of my friends go way back, but we're just so busy with our own personal lives that it's difficult to get away.

The Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes is easy to enter. All you do is click here and enter your contact information. Hopefully you win one of the top prizes. I'm shooting for the Grand Prize which is an entire hotel for a weekend (100 rooms for 2 nights). How great would that be to have a family reunion one night (and a friend reunion on another)! Good luck!

Heads Up: Go Enter the Mission Menus Challenge

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.

Our family is always on the run...and something we use to help us prepare our quick meals is Mission Flour Tortillas. They're something we always have in our fridge. We shop at our local Sam's Club store and thankfully, they started carrying various flavors (tomato, veggie, whole wheat, etc). Not only are they delicious, but they are convenient and have a great taste. I've been known to make PB&J lunch wraps...how simple and they still fit in a sandwich holder.

I suggest you go check out www.missionmenus.com for examples of quick & easy, budget-friendly meals for around $10 using Mission Flour Tortillas and to gain inspiration for your creative recipe submissions. Mission Flour Tortillas are very healthy. In fact, they contain 0 grams Trans fat per serving and are cholesterol free. They are available in small (6"), medium (8") and large (10”) sizes in major grocery stores nationwide. While you're trying out the Tortillas, stop and buy a bag of their chips...these are just as great!

Did you know that Mission Foods is kicking off the summer with the Mission Menus Challenge. Beginning June 28, 2010, Chef Sara Moulton will encourage consumers to submit their budget-friendly recipes to Mission at Mission Menus Challenge for a chance to compete in a cook-off in Los Angeles and win a $10,000 dream kitchen makeover as well as a host of weekly prizes. The grand prize winner will win round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations for two to the Mission Menus Challenge Cook-off on September 10, 2010 at the Hard Rock Café in Los Angeles. Until August 9th, you have the chance to submit your recipe online. All recipes must: include Mission Flour Tortillas, be original, feed a family of five for $10 or less!

Glidden Paint - Get Color, Give Color Product Review

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently posted about the Glidden Paint - Get Color, Give Color Giveaway that took place on June 1st. During this event,Glidden Paint gave away 4 free paint testers (2 to you and 2 to your friend). I was lucky (and quick) enough to be able to participate in this great event!

I was impatient in waiting for my free samples so I went out and bought a few today. While at my local Home Depot location, we picked out a couple of matching colors without any all of the hassle. Glidden's Top 10 Color Palettes made the entire deciding process quick and painless.

The main reason I love the Glidden Ready-to-Go Paint Testers is that they don't take up as much space as a half-used can of paint would. I plan on throwing away all of our old paint in the garage...it's taking up way too much space and it doesn't even match anything in our house anymore. Also, you don't have to worry about painting half your wall with the wrong colored paint. That's the whole reason they call them Ready-to-Go Paint Testers!

After starting our project out with the Glidden Ready-to-Go Paint Testers, we were hooked and decided to stick with the Glidden Paint. I'll just have to use the free sample testers on another room! Thanks Glidden!

Freschetta Flatbread Pizza Review and $1 Coupon Offer

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.

Every Friday, my family indulges ourselves with Pizza! We mainly eat Pepperoni and Cheese, but sometimes we pull out all the stops and go for the All Vegetable kind. Sometimes, we order out for delivery, but 3/4 times we buy frozen pizza in advance and store it in the freezer.

The joy of frozen pizza is that it's one of those pop in the oven and let it sit foods. No preparation is needed except for a heated oven. How nice for busy people! We recently bought the new Freschetta FlatBread with the $1 off coupon currently available. It was wonderful...so we bought every variety they had in stock (Zesty Italian, Roasted Garlic and Spinach, Pepperoni or 5-Cheese). You never know when you will get a craving for pizza. =-)

My favorite of the 4 varieties was the 5-Cheese Flatbread. It was a blend of Asiago, Mozzarella, Romano, Parmesan and Provolone. I thought it was everyone else's favorite because I didn't hear any complaints...but I forgot to ask them.

I'd have to say my family was very impressed. The pizza was delicious, the pizza wasn't too hard (or soft) and the ingredients were just right. Go and print out your $1 off coupon so you can try it out for yourself.

Road Trip Time - Have You Updated Your GPS Unit?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NAVTEQ. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's that time again moms (and dads)! Summer is here and the road trips begin. I love this time of the year because it's a great way to bond with your family (young and old). I even loved travelling as a child. Back when I was younger, we didn't have GPS or TV's in the car. We had a HUGE paper map and the license plate game. Come on, you all remember writing down how many different state license plates you could find on a road trip. I know I remember my parents with their HUGE paper map flying all over the place because the windows were always down. I sure don't miss those days...haha!

As I mentioned above, I love travelling. It's so easy...you just pick a destination, gather the family, get in the car, plug in the GPS, and drive away into the sunset. What's that you say...the GPS unit isn't updated?! ARGH! I've had this happen to my family a few times. Thankfully, we weren't unprepared...we still had cell phones to call someone who was near a computer. Having an up to date GPS unit is very important. It's almost as important as checking your oil and tires before heading out. I can only imagine we would have saved plenty of time if we had an updated GPS unit. Don't let this happen to you...time is precious!

Have you updated your GPS unit lately? If not, NAVTEQ would like to remind you to visit www.updateyourmap.com and get it updated today! NAVTEQ is the company whose technology and maps drive most of the in-car navigation systems and the leading brands of GPS-enabled devices in the U.S. You never know when you'll be out on the road needing updated directions. Even if you're on the road, there are many locations with free Wifi...stop into one of them, hook up your GPS unit and visit www.updateyourmap.com.
