The Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop El Capitan #Ghirardelli #DisneyFrozenEvent

November 19, 2013 by Momstart 4 Comments

On last Friday right next to the El Capitan Ghirardelli opened a new Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop location and they teamed up with Disney. Here you find the perfect combination of sweetness and chocolate and Disney.

I love chocolate and Disney so I was almost in heaven. I took a lot of photos from inside. I was there with Disney and the Ghirardelli gave me a goodie bag of chocolate and a hot fudge sundae and I still wanted to buy more chocolate and some Disney merchandise.

Ghirardelli’s Newest Line Of Chocolate LUXE Chocolate Giveaway

October 16, 2010 by Momstart 233 Comments

Ghirardelli is located in San Francisco California. Since we live on the West Coast, we’re close to Ghirardelli, I always thought that meant that we had quite a few different options when it came to Ghirardelli and their brand. However, when I was in LA, I went into a Ghirardelli store and I was blown away by all of the chocolate flavors. Oh how yummy! I was in a little heaven and choosing a chocolate bar for myself was quite difficult. I would have purchased a ton of chocolate but we were far away from our hotel walking the streets and it was a very hot day.

I’m a huge chocolate fan! If I could survive on chocolate alone I would. When I was pregnant all I wanted was chocolate. If I had to pick a favorite myself it would be dark chocolate. When m80 contacted me on behalf of Ghirardelli offered me the new LUXE Mile chocolate. I said yes because I had to try it.

Ghirardelli LUXE Milk is all natural and indulgent. My favorite flavor is the LUXE Milk Toffee, then LUXE Milk Almond and Hazelnut and milk. Oh yeah you better believe it. These are good and creamy! The 2.8 to 3 oz bars retail for approximately $1.99 – $2.39 and the LUXE MILK bags retail for approximately $3.49. They are available at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Borders, Cost Plus, Blockbuster and other participating retailers.

New Flavor Line Up:

· LUXE MILK Almond – Toasted almonds contribute a clean, crisp taste to

complement and enhance the flavors of the creamy-sweet milk chocolate

base.

· LUXE MILK – This bar delivers the ultimate premium milk chocolate

experience – pure, all-natural milk chocolate with a velvety texture that

melts smoothly in your mouth.

· LUXE MILK Hazelnut – Lavished throughout this bar, all-natural deep-

made from the finest cocoa beans is perfectly matched with buttery,

crunchy toffee bits.

OMG It’s Tuesday, Here’s to being Random, Sleep Tips, #pottytraining and brownies

February 23, 2010 by Momstart 4 Comments

Today started off well for me. I did the laundry, I did the dishes, I had a clean house and baked a batch of brownies that now I’m addicted to eating all by myself. Oh how I love anything with chocolate, I never should have made the brownies. They are so good, Ghirardelli from Costco.

Then we preceded to potty training as we are trying to work on really hard this week and my daughter came up stairs and said I went poo poo. Oh man, I was in the process of taking off her Pull Ups and then I found that no she had not. So we went into the bathroom and she went on the potty. This was a wonderful day. She then went potty on the potty again, but then we had to accidents and needed new clothes. Then for the rest of the day any time I mentioned potty she threw a big huge fit. She was rolling around on the floor for 20 minutes. I know because I set the timer for when it was time to try to go pp again. You can watch the woes and joys of other mothers by following #pottytraining.

Do you ever think that the things we write about your children will come to haunt them when they go to school? I write a lot about my kids, but I try to only post happy photos. I’d hate to scare/embarrass my children too much, you know!

The bed company Select Comfort has been sending me sleep tips and I asked them if I could give one of their beds away. They were kind enough to say, well, your stats are good but not quite good enough. I’m actually missing a zero at the end of the amount of unique visitors they want a site to have every month. So instead of 25,000 they want 250,000. WOW, I’m out of their league but I’m going to pitch something to them anyways. The worst they can do is say no. 😉 I don’t hear no very often and I’ve always wondered why? I finally found a site where I can compare my stats to other sites and WOW, i’m in shock of where I’m standing. People do read me!!!

Wait, where are those sleep tips. Here they are:

Nine out of 10 couples do not agree on mattress firmness. In fact, men usually prefer a more firm mattress than women, which can lead to one very happy partner and one sleep deprived partner. Below is a way to overcome mattress firmness issues for a better night’s rest for you and your partner.

Mattress Firmness

According to Sleep Expert and Select Comfort’s Director of Sleep Innovation and Clinical Research, Pete Bils, your bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom and has the greatest impact on the quality of sleep you get each night. If you prefer a softer mattress and your partner requires a firm mattress, consider a bed that allows each of you to choose your own firmness preference for your side of the bed.

What does your partner do that keeps you from getting a restful sleep? Please share it with us as a comment on Beds.com , on our Facebook page Sleep Number, or on Twitter @SleepGeekPete.
