Mine turns out to be my family.

So it’s been a really rough summer for me actually. My grandmother died a month ago and before she died I was spending two weeks with her. Then when she died I stayed an extra week with my family for the funeral and arrangements. You might think, how in the world can this be your best summer moment?

Hang with me and I’ll tell you..

See all those people up there, that’s my family. When my grandmother was sick they all made their way from all across the country to be with her. She united us and guess what we’re all still talking to each other every day. We text each other and we call each other and we remind each other that we’re not alone and that we have each other.

Above is a picture of my mom, I reconnected with my mom. We had therapy shopping and meals and laughter and it was an amazing time even though the circumstances weren’t that great. Below is a picture of my dad and husband Andrew and this incident reminded me how much both of them love me.

So my best memory is my family. We reconnected and bonded and loved one another. We lost someone but we became closer and that I wouldn’t trade! I love my family and wish I lived close to each and every crazy member of my family.

Coca-Cola Quotes: Photo Inspiration

May 21, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

To all the Coke Lovers out there here are some Coca-Cola quotes. I took this photo at Pike Place Market the quotes are from the internet.

“Bob Dole admitted he used cocaine when he was in college, but then Coca-Cola changed its formula.”
Bill Maher quotes

“The only way that I could figure they could improve upon Coca-Cola, one of life’s most delightful elixirs, which studies prove will heal the sick and occasionally raise the dead, is to put rum or bourbon in it.”
Lewis Grizzard quotes

The truth is that our way of celebrating the Christmas season does spring from myriad cultures and sources, from St. Nicholas to Coca-Cola advertising campaigns.
Richard Roeper

There are things in American culture that want to wipe the class distinction. Blue jeans. Ready-made clothes. Coca-Cola.

Coke Chase Vote For Who Will Be in The Coca-Cola Super Bowl Commercial “Mirage” $100 Giveaway

January 23, 2013 by Momstart 225 Comments

The Coca-Cola Company will debut a 60-second commercial entitled “Mirage” during the Big Game. And it’s up to us to decide who is going to be in that commercial. Do you want to see Cowboys, “Badlanders, or Vegas-style showgirls. I’m guessing Showgirls will win, but it’s anyone’s game. Here is the premise of the preview to the Super Bowl Commercial: Coke Chase.

The ad follows three factions of characters – a band of Cowboys, a gang of “Badlanders” and a pack of Vegas-style Showgirls – as they chase after an elusive bottle of Coca-Cola. Who actually wins the race is entirely up to fans who log on to CokeChase.com to vote for their favorite faction and slow down their fictional foes by initiating fun acts of sabotage. At the end of the game, the fans’ actions will determine how the storyline plays out and which one of three 30-second payoff ads will air following the final whistle of the Big Game – a first for The Coca-Cola Company.

You can visit CokeChase.com today – February 3rd to get in on the game and choose which group gets the Coke by voting for their favorite characters or committing “sabotage” against their rivals! The rival videos are pretty fun, and you can see those on game day.

By following Coke on Tumblr, Instagram, Youtube, twitter (@CocaCola), Coca-Cola Facebook, you will find yourself in the middle of the action and receive a “behind-the-scenes” look at the characters in their pursuit of the ultimate refreshment on Game Day. You can also share the fun with your social networks by casting a vote for your favorite group on Twitter by using hashtags supporting the #CokeShowgirls, #CokeCowboys or #CokeBadlanders. Those who cast a vote on game-day by tweeting @CocaCola with their favorite faction’s hashtag will receive responses from the team, including a link to the sabotage page on CokeChase.com where you can continue the rally.

As the final whistle blows and the winner of the Big Game is celebrated, Coca-Cola will reveal the winner of the Coke Chase based on fan participation via a 30-second commercial that completes the journey. Each of the three 30-second spots depicts a different faction capturing the few remaining bottles of Coke available at the remote Oasis Mart. All three will be cued and ready for broadcast while Coke representatives tabulate fan votes and deduct points for sabotages. As the winning team is determined, Coca-Cola will work with the network to air the spot that earned the most fan support.

After the winning 30-second spot hits the airwaves, people who Like or Follow the Coke Chase will be rewarded with additional content, including the alternate 30-second endings so they can see how the desert-based chase could have concluded if another group had reached the bottles of Coke first.

Throw your support behind a faction (Cowboys, Showgirls or Badlanders) and vote: Join the Coke Chase

Enter to Win:

· Domino’s gift card/coupons valued at $50, an 8” Coca-Cola football, pizza cutter, galvanized party tub, Coca-Cola t-shirt, four Coca-Cola 16 oz. cups w/straws and Coca-Cola product valued at $100 dollars Approximate Retail Value

Snow Calls for a Coca-Cola #ArcticHome

January 18, 2012 by Momstart 542 Comments

We’re having an arctic blast right now full of ice and snow so I figure it’s appropriate for an Arctic Giveaway.

All I need is a polar bear. WAIT! Coca-Cola sent me one, I should tell the kids to send it sledding down the hill tomorrow. That would be awesome right? Polar bears have been part of Coca-Cola tradition since 1922, representing icy cold refreshment and friends and family togetherness. But the polar bears need our help in the Arctic. That’s why Coca-Cola is taking action and partnering with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for a campaign called “Arctic Home.” Together Coca-Cola and WWF will raise awareness and funds to help create a safe haven for the polar bear. The Arctic Home website provides information and stats about polar bears. You can even track five live Mama Bears the WWF has tagged in the wild.

I love the Arctic Home Website, I think the videos on it are adorable. Polar bears are adorable. They seem so sweet and cuddly. I know in real life they aren’t but they are so cute to watch. I love going down to the zoo, the other zoo we have, can’t remember the name of it right now but they have a polar bear it’s he’s really cute.

Coca-Cola has made a commitment to helping the WWF and polar bear habitat preservation by donating an initial $2 million and matching donations through March—up to $1 million. To have Coca-Cola match your donation, simply text the code on specially-marked Arctic Home packages to 357357. You can also make donations online at ArcticHome.com. Each donation accompanied by a code from specially-marked packages will not only be matched, but a designated parcel of the virtual Arctic Home refuge will be donated in your name on the site.

You can also find new red “Arctic Home” cans on store shelves. This new limited-edition can advances awareness of our efforts to protect the polar bear’s Arctic home.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Claudia M.

Entrants must be 18 or older and located in the US only. Winner to be chosen at random.

Fountain of the Future Taco Time Coca Cola Giveaway

March 17, 2011 by Momstart 84 Comments

I have always loved mixing beverage flavors, and sitting next to my husband he describes the same experience. I remember in college the guys would have a great time just mixing every single flavor until they created the perfect concoction of high fructose corn syrup. You know what I mean?

My favorite flavor has always been vanilla coke. With over 106 flavors you can get Vanilla Coke, Vanilla Coke Zero, Diet Vanilla Coke, and Caffeine-free Diet Vanilla Coke. I know with all of the possibilities limiting myself to vanilla coke is pretty vanilla! BORING!

Photo Caption: Coca-Cola Freestyle^®is a slick, high-tech fountain that features a touchscreen interface and dispenses 106 drinks, including products that have never before been offered in the U.S., like Raspberry Coke and Peach Sparkling Dasani.

While I was on the Johnsonville Blog trip last week, I was also invited to attend Coca Cola’s unveiling of the Fountain of the Future at Taco Time. Since I was out of town, I missed the event, but I’m quite excited to step into Taco Time and check out the new Fountain of the Future for myself and I have the ability to send you there too! If you live near one. I have gift cards to giveaway. But first, let’s explore the Fountain of the Future unveiling in Seattle at Taco Time:

Left Photo caption: Robby Tonkin, President, Taco Time NW and Gene Farrell, Vice President & General Manager, Coca-Cola Freestyle^®, celebrate the Seattle-area launch of the "fountain of the future." Coca-Cola Freestyle^®, which features 106 different beverages, will debut at 15 Seattle-area Taco Time NW locations by the end of March.

Right Photo caption: A Taco Time NW guest tries Coca-Cola Freestyle^® for the first time. There will be 15 Coca-Cola Freestyle^® fountains at Taco Time restaurants around the city.

How it works

Coca-Cola Freestyle® creates branded beverages by blending concentrated ingredients with water and sweetener at the point where the beverage is dispensed via proprietary PurePour Technology™. It does not require syrup, but instead uses concentrated ingredients stored in cartridges in the fountain cabinet. The Freestyle machine also dispenses numerous brands that have never been marketed in the country prior to the introduction of Coca-Cola Freestyle®. You Select brands such as caffeine-free Diet Coke® with Lime, Fanta® Peach, Grape Vault®, Minute Maid® Light Orange Lemonade and more via an interactive touch-screen on the front of the fountain.

• There are 60 diet and low-calorie beverages and more than 65 caffeine-free beverages – choices to fit every lifestyle.
• A Coca-Cola Freestyle® requires approximately the same amount of space as today’s six-or eight-valve fountains.
