Dyson Diva Sign up is UP GO NOW

Dyson Domestic Diva

Here is the link.
MomDot is the awesome place to hang out from time to time. Sometimes, I look at the posts and I think why is there something titled Girls and thongs or why is there a but crack showing today. Well, If you take the time to actually READ the posts you’ll see. Girls should be wearing thongs and well women should be watching the clothing that they wear.
Anyways, the point is, they partnered with Dyson for moms to become testers. I want to test this DC 25 Rollerball Animal vacuum. Why?
Because

This dog sheds like nothing else. I grew up with a German Sheppard and one summer my stepmom shaved the dog because she was tired of vacuuming up all of the dog hair and using tape to get the rest. You may think, well, that’s one dog and it’s winter. They shed all year round. They shed a summer coat and a winter coat. They are always shedding hair. It is everywhere.

If you look in between the pillows you can see a new hair. Yes He looks guilty, because he is. HE IS GUILTY OF SHEDDING.

My other reason is because of my kids. My son is 100% boy and he sheds everywhere. What does he shed. Somehow, he stores Cheerios on his body after every meal. I find bits and pieces of cheerios everywhere. EVERYWHERE. In his bed, on the carpet, gee.

If you are chosen you do NOT GET to keep the vacuum. But you get to find out if the DC 25 Rollerball Animal vacuum is worth the money. There are other perks but no one knows what those are until the end. I don’t care what the perks are, My husband and I just want to know if this vacuum works.

If you are so inclined, please TWEET @Momdot @Momstart wants to be a Dyson Diva.

Fitness Friday

January 3, 2009 By 1 Comment

The Wii fit mommies have Fitness Friday every Friday and I’m going to try and play along. I don’t have a Wii fit yet but I’m thinking about getting one. It sounds like a lot of fun and I am loving the Wii.

My husband and I love playing games together and using the Wii is one way that we can do that. A lot of the platforms don’t have two player games but the Wii is the most kid friendly platform out there.

Lindsey from A Kindred Spirit’s Thoughts is the first forum participant to be the Featured Fitness Friday post. If you’d like to be considered as a Featured post, email Julie at Julie@CoolMomGuide.com to get on the list. I’m just working on the sidelines for now as I don’t have a Wii Fit. I did walk to the mail box and back from my house carrying my two year old. It’s a good distance, especially carrying her.

To check out more on the Wii fit Mommies click the Wii fit mommies button. They are also having a kick off party tomorrow on twitter. I’m not sure I’ll make their party but I know it’s going to be a lot of fun. Oh and I almost forgot to mention there are prizes to be won.

Visit Island Life for more Aloha Friday

I am sorry my question is so late.

What is your favorite dish to take to parties?

I like to make desserts. Fancy chocolate cookies but I haven’t done this in a while. Lately I’ve been going with whatever is quick and easy. So I really need some ideas here.

In honor of the New Year the theme for FFFF is “New” so I have to find a NEW.
This is new. We have two children for Christmas this year. It was my son’s first Christmas. I love being a mother and feel so lucky to have the children I do. Watching everything they do and seeing everything as a first. Everything is “new” to them. They have so much joy and laughter.

The Chronological Study Bible

January 2, 2009 By 3 Comments

Faith Approved has given me another wonderful opportunity. My family is currently enjoying The Chronological Bible. I have had this on my desk for a while. I wasn’t sure where to begin or now to review the bible. I was intimidated. So much so, I asked my husband to do it. He said yes and told me bits and pieces but he didn’t have time to write the review.

So here I am writing the review. I’m going to start with the only thing that bugs me. I’m not fond of the King James Version. There I said it, now lets get to the good stuff.

The Chronological Study Bible is PACKED with information. If you are a Sunday School teacher this would be great to help you with information the older kids ask. It provides background information for the books of the bible. You can find what is going on culturally. There are 1672 pages not including the maps; every page is full color. This bible is amazing.

I have always wanted to read the four Gospels in order that they occurred. Everyone knows them as Matthew Mark Luke and John. But The Chronological Study Bible begins with John and then next comes Luke. At the top of these pages is a timeline starting at the birth of Jesus.

The tools included in your bible:

  • Chronologically written
  • Transitional Commentary
  • Epoch Introductions
  • Historical Overviews
  • Background Notes
  • Daily life
  • Time Panels
  • Time Capsules
  • Time Charts
  • Maps
  • Scripture References
  • Cultural and Historical Topics
  • Glossary
  • Concordance

Be ready for a ton of information from this wonderful bible.

I think Keurig Brewing Systems are just wonderful! I am a true coffee lover so to me to be able to quickly brew a state of the art cup of coffee in a minute is genius! I think the Keurig Elite Bundle Holiday Gift Basket is my favorite. I chose this one because it has the Elite Brewer and the most “bang” for your buck! You also receive a nice assortment of K-Cups and that makes it also appealing! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.I also subscribed to your reader. You are now on my Google Home Page.
