{Giveaway} Lady Antebellum’s Own The Night (CLOSED)

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***

Did you watch the Country Music Awards last night?  If you didn’t fall asleep with a raging headache (ahem…me) then you didn’t miss one of Country’s hottest groups, Lady Antebellum winning the CMA for Vocal Group of the Year!    I just love Lady Antebellum and am excited to tell you about their new CD and tour that is coming to a town near you.

Their latest album, Own The Night was only released in September and the first single, “Just a Kiss” rose to Billboards Country Top 10 in only 6 weeks.

 ”We’re definitely more in tune with each other musically and personally than ever,” said Haywood. “It’s an exciting place to be. This album was created from the ground up—we are writing these songs, playing these instruments and creating these arrangements. With OWN THE NIGHT, more than ever before, I think we share a real feeling of accomplishment both as a band and as friends.”

After selling out every city on the group’s first-ever headlining tour, multi-platinum group Lady Antebellum announced that they will launch the first leg of their OWN THE NIGHT 2011 TOUR on Nov. 11 in Knoxville, Tenn.  The first leg of the 21-city arena tour will feature special guest Josh Kelley and a combination Eden’s Edge and Randy Montana in the opening slot. Tickets for the opening night in Knoxville, Tenn. will be available on Aug. 26 to the public.

{Giveaway} The BEST Holiday Gift is WINE!(CLOSED)

Gosh, I haven’t done a wine review post in a while now, have I?  I’ve picked up a few bottles here and there but just haven’t gotten my reviews to you.  I’m a bad wino.  But, today, I have something worth sharing and it’s VERY exciting!

I am being given the chance to experience a three month membership from the California Wine Club!

 

Premier Membership

Each wine club shipment includes two bottles of award-winning wine and our detailed and beautiful 12-page, full color publication, Uncorked. Uncorked offers an up-close and personal look at the family behind the wines plus tasting notes, recipes, wine luminary interviews, games and so much more.

Let’s face it, having kids can be stressful.  Some days I really look forward to having a glass (or three) of wine after the kids go to bed so that I can unwind and just enjoy the silence.  But, I really do not know that much about wine.  I only know I like to drink it!

The California Wine Club helps to take the guess work out of buying wine.  Instead of standing and staring and hundreds of bottles, the experts at California Wine Club pick your wine for you.  They work directly with the wineries ensuring that you get a quality bottle of wine…not close out or discounted left overs.

And you can buy this gift of wine for the ones you love!  (or me…)

I can’t tell you how excited I was when my wine came this month.  It was like Christmas!  I am quite embarrassed to admit that I drank down my bottle of Perry Creek El Dorado Chardonnay in one sitting.  *blush*  I’ve always claimed to not even like white wine, but this Chardonnay was so delicious that it was gone and put in the recycle bin before I could even get a picture of it!

The bottle of Perry Creek “Zinman” Zinfandel lasted a bit longer since it wasn’t quite as sweet as I had hoped.  It seems I am learning that I actually LIKE quality white wines but prefer the “cheap” red’s.  Go figure.

Did you know that Zinfandel’s are red?  I had no idea since I had only ever seen white zinfandel (which is pink).

Being a member of the California Wine Club is educational!

I love the Zinman bottle, it is really fun.

Being a member of the California Wine Club is really fun.  I look forward to what is coming next.  I love reading Uncorked and expanding my knowledge of wines and food pairings.

 

There’s an App for That!

The California Wine Club has a new wine pairing iPhone app that looks really cool.  It’s currently FREE (won’t be forever) that helps you find wine pairings for your food.  I will be downloading it this week and I’ll let you know how I like it!

California Wine Club Promo Code!

The Premier Club membership price is $36.45 (plus shipping, taxes) but by using the Promo Code 23monkeys you can get 10% off!  In addition, if you sign up for the Premier Club membership and use this promo code the California Wine Club will give you an extra bottle of wine…(on your 1st shipment) for free!  (Cancel anytime, no obligation to stay past the first month)

In addition to having a very cool discount and special gift for signing up, I am giving away a ONE MONTH PREMIER MEMBERSHIP to the California Wine Club!

First Mandatory Entry

Leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite wine is!  Two bottles a month is super nice, but I drink more than that and am always looking for recommendations.

Nutrilite Fruits and Vegetables 2GO! {Review & Giveaway} (CLOSED)

Nathan will eat his weight in fruit and vegetables all day long.  No joke.  Last night he picked out all of the broccoli from his pasta dinner and ate that along with an entire bowl of cantaloupe.  I practically had to force feed him any pasta or meat.  My mom will buy him buckets of berries from Costco and he will finish it off in a day if I let him.

Of course, twin brother Gabriel is the complete opposite.  He is my carb addict and would be perfectly happy eating nothing but cereal and peanut butter (no jelly) sandwich’s for the rest of his childhood.

Now, I know I am very lucky with Nathan, but I struggle to get Gabriel the vitamins that he needs to stay healthy.  This is where Nutrilite’s Fruits and Vegetables 2GO come in.

Too busy to eat right? Give yourself a twist. NUTRILITE® Fruits & Vegetables 2GO Twist Tubes give you the antioxidant equivalent of two of the 9–13 servings of fruits and vegetables your body needs in a convenient, squeezable tube. Simply twist into a cold, 16-oz. bottle of water and enjoy a refreshing Mango-Citrus treat anytime, anywhere.

I’ve got this box of tubes that would be really easy to toss into a lunchbox or purse to take on the go.  But, I’ve just been using them at home to help get some extra “oomph” into Gabriel’s diet.  I have a large protein drink shaker thing (very technical, I know) and I fill it to the 16 oz mark and squeeze in my Fruits and Vegetables 2GO pack.  I then pour it over ice between the three boys and they are happy to have “YAY! Yummy Juice!” with their lunch.

By the end of the day, if I’ve given them “juice” at each meal, I’ve gotten two more servings of fruits and vegetables into them without them suspecting a thing.

Sneaky mommy!

My FAVORITE part of the drink?  NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS OR PRESERVATIVES.

Excellent for those with Red Dye #40 issues (or any other petroleum based fake color).

Oh, and it actually does taste very delicious.  I bet you could run it through a blender and add some fresh mango and get an amazing smoothie…I’ll have to remember to try that this week.

Nutrilite is a division of Amway and I was hesitant at first because thoughts of Amway usually conjure up cheesy door to door salesmen.  But Amway would not have been in business for over 51 years if they weren’t doing something right.  And this Nutrilite Fruits and Vegetables 2GO is a great product that I am extremely happy with.

Just LOOK at those adorable little faces!  How could I ever give them anything but the best?  I couldn’t.  And the best part here, is that I get to give THREE readers something fabulous, as well.  Go me!

Buy Nutrilite Fruits and Vegetables 2GO Here

THREE lucky readers will each win their very own box of Nutrilite Fruits and Vegetables 2GO!  YAY!

First Mandatory Entry

Leave me a comment telling me what things you do to keep your family healthy.  Do you sneak in the vitamins?  Do you limit soda?  Do you hold them down and force apple slices down their throat?  No?  Just me then?  Let me know what works for you because I’m always in need of some good ideas for getting my kids the healthy stuff they need.

Tuesday Toots – Lazy Edition

How was your long weekend??

I’ve been feeling really lost here lately and now that my kids are gone all day I can’t figure out what to talk about.  So instead of just being a downer, I’ve been quiet.  But for today, let us share some giveaways!

If you’ve got a giveaway going on on your website now, please link up.  I actually have a healthy giveaway coming up this week so be sure to check back.  {ETA:  My Nutrilite Fruits and Vegetables 2GO giveaway is up…check it out!}  But for now, go enter these fine contests.  Have a happy Tuesday!

Tuesday Toots

Hello, welcome to Tuesday.  You know, the day after Monday?  Yeah.  That’s all I got.  You would think I could be more creative since the boys went to school on Monday and I had an entire six hours of blissful silence, but no.  I’m boring today.  Maybe today sitting around in more silence will inspire me to write something clever.  In the meantime, check out my friends, they are always infinitely more exciting than I am:

My beautiful friend Cheryl is sad today because her Canadian Insurance company SUCKS ASS.  Please go give her some virtual ((HUGS)).

If you are visiting from the Calgary area (yes, that’s Canada’s Calgary) then you might want to enter Heathers Cirque Du Soleil OVO giveaway.  I LOVE Cirque…I wish I lived closer to her so I could go! (giveaway ends 9/8)

Kathleen has another episode of Fugly Friday where she is finding more amazing “deals” on Craigslist.

Amanda asked the age old question of “why add red food coloring to cream cheese frosting?”

That’s what’s going on in my neck of the woods…here’s what’s happening where you are…

(Today Show much?)

Alrighty, link up your lovely giveaways! Have a great day.
