Win a Hasbro Game!

My family and I are such huge Hasbro fans.  They just make quality products that stand the test of time.  That is why I am excited to tell you about two of their new products:  Star Wars Fighter Pods and Bop It! XT.

Fighter Pods are miniature collectible versions of the characters from all six “Star Wars” films and “The Clone Wars” animated series. The miniature characters come with battle pods that are used to knock down as many of your opponent’s figures as possible by spinning, launching or rolling the pods into battle. More than 100 Star Wars Fighter Pods figures are available so kids can collect them, set them up and knock them down in head-to-head battling play. Whether challenging neighbors to epic battles in the driveway or setting up a galaxy of characters at the park, Star Wars Fighter Pods are a great choice to pack and play for hours of fun anywhere your springtime adventures may take you.  These are for kids 4 and up.  Will LOVES this.  He is one of those kids who loves little figures like these that he can carry around in his hands.  I think he like carrying them around and showing them off more than he likes playing with them!  They are definitely cute and are a must get for any Star Wars fan.

Who doesn’t remember Bop It?  This is one of the classic games that got you up off your butt and got your exercising.  Plus, it looks super easy, and it really isn’t.  The new Bop It! XT is sure to get kids up and moving this spring. As the game unit challenges you to “Bop it,” “Pull it,” Twist it,” “Flick it,” “Spin it,” and “Shake it,” you’ll have to think quickly while using increased skill and speed to perform the commands as fast as possible. The more commands you correctly follow, the faster the commands come!  Yes, this is just as fun as the original!  I also love that you can pass it (I don’t remember this being a feature before).  Best of all, there is a party mode too that requires you to use your whole body!  You can also play one on one which divides the game unit into two sides.  Another new feature is that you can now pick what level you want to play:  novice, expert, master, and pro.

Since my family loves Bop It! XT, I have arranged for only lucky winner to win one!  Here’s what you need to do:

Rug Doctor Review

I may not have a ton of carpet in my house. However, what I have for carpet isn’t pretty. With Madison’s first communion right around the corner, I rented a Rug Doctor. The above picture is my basement stairs. Gross, I know. Those stains ended up there when we did… Read More »Rug Doctor Review

Mohawk Home Rug Giveaway

As many of you may know, the majority of my house is hardwood.  My bedroom and Madison’s bedroom are the only ones with carpet, so we could definitely use rugs in our other rooms.  That is why I was excited to try out a new Mohawk Home Rug.  This is what my living room looks like:

Yes, it is a beautiful wood floor. However, the room is a tad blah. I’ll be honest — I didn’t realize the power of a rug:

This is the Mohawk rug Bill and I picked out. It is the Mohawk Home Architect Rug – Dark Brown. Bill and I are in love — With the rug! It is amazing how much warmer the room is with this rug! The Mohawk home rug also makes the floor much warmer to walk across and is super soft. I love walking across it bare footed too. Set up for this Mohawk rug was super easy — Will (my 4 year old) and I set it up by ourselves. The only hard part was keeping Daisy (our dog) off it when we were trying to roll it onto the floor! It definitely pulls the colors we already have in the room too — the walls (maroon), the curtains (green), and even the floor. This Mohawk rug makes my hardwood look even better! Daisy has also quit laying on my furniture and now lays across this rug! It’s comfortable for the entire family. I love that you can get it in several sizes too. Now, the one in my living room is the 5′ x 8′, but you can find this design in other sizes that you need. Bill comes home from work every night and tells me how much he likes the rug (for him to comment is huge!). It is just the perfect size, the perfect color, the perfect everything. Another reason we love this company is that they make their product in the US:

Since we love our Mohawk Home Rug so much, I have arranged for one of my lucky readers to win a Mohawk Home Rug of their own!  The winner can choose any Mohawk Home rug up to size 5×8 and under $150 value. Here’s what you need to do:

Out to save their childhood home, only The Three Stooges could stumble their way onto fame, fortune – and starring roles in a phenomenally successful TV reality show.

Here is a sneak preview:

Now, my husband and father-in-law are huge Three Stooges fans, so I know that they will love this new contemporary take on them! Since they are going to love this movie, I have arranged for one lucky reader to win a Three Stooges prize pack. In it, you will find $25 Fandango Bucks and a Three Stooges T-Shirt. Here’s what you need to do:
