Valentines Day with SENSEO*

Perk up your love life this Valentine’s Day and give your sweetheart a gift that will last much longer than a box of chocolates! Senseo Gourmet Coffee is the perfect gift that will satisfy your Valentine for years to come. Enjoy superbly roasted coffee at the touch of a button with Senseo, the world’s leading single-serve coffee brand, and brew a perfectly consistent cup of coffee in under a minute.  With over 15 different coffee blends (at only 5 cents a cup!) Senseo is sure to please even the toughest loved one and keep your love life hot and steamy.

*Valentine’s Day Tip – Dress up your cup by adding whipped cream with raspberries or almonds!

Senseo Coffee Machines come in three different models – Original, Deluxe and Supreme – and range from $69.99 – $139.99.  16-18 pod packages range from $4.99-$5.49.

This coffee maker makes the perfect Valentine’s Day present for the coffee lover in your life. The coffee it brews tastes so smooth and rich. The aroma it leaves is wonderful, fills the whole house. I love how easy and quick it is to make a cup of Joe, or 2 : one for me and one for the hubster.

I was sent a Senseo Machine to try out with a package of the Kona coffee pods and also a pack of the Breakfast coffee pods. I love the breakfast one and my husband likes the Kona blend.  Something else I love is that it is only about 5 cents per cup ! You cannot beat that price. I have other name brand coffee makers and it is more expensive to buy the coffee for them.

Happy Valentines Day to All

* I received the Senseo machine and the 2 packs of coffee pods at no cost to enable me to do this review. Thanks to Senseo and the MWW group.

How the Candy Cane Got Its Name

Tinycandy’s Gift is a new Christmas story tracing the origins of the popular holiday treat, the candy cane. For Susan Estes’ third book, she explains that it is children’s differences that make them special to the world and highlights through vivid illustrations just how important one person can be.

Tinycandy is an elf growing up in the North Pole who always felt left out because he walks with a limp. With Christmas approaching, Tinycandy is desperate to find his special “gift” in order to contribute to Christmas in Santa’s workshop and become accepted by the other elves. Tinycandy soon discovers that his gift is making special candies shaped like hooks that make Christmas a little sweeter for everyone. Impressed by Tinycandy’s new talent, Santa christens the special treats “Candy Canes.”

In Tinycandy’s Gift, Estes creates a unique history of how the candy cane got its name and weaves in a classic tale that conveys to children one of the pivotal rules of life. Estes has spent her life working with and raising children and believes that teaching them to appreciate their own and others’ differences is the most important lesson of all.

Estes is also the author of One Miracle Under God and Choice of the Spirit Child. She is a mother of three and an active philanthropist in her community. She was awarded both the “Mayor’s Merit Award” and “Susan E. Estes Day” for her work in the Knoxville , TN community. She attended both University of Tennessee and Pellissippi State Community College . In her spare time, Estes enjoys writing, reading and spending time with her family.

Tinycandy’s Gift by Susan Estes and illustrated by MikeMotz.com (Dragon Pencil, Oct. 2009, ISBN 978-1-60131-036-1, hardcover, $14.95)

Secret Santa Thanks to TJ Maxx &Marshall’s* & some Carol-oke ;)

I received an email a couple weeks ago that asked me to be a Secret Santa to another mommy blogger. I of course was so excited and said YES, count me in! Upon saying yes, everyone who participated was sent a $25 gift card to Marshall’s or TJ MAXX to shop for their recipient and another $25 gift card to shop and get a little something for themselves!

When I received my gift cards and the name of my recipient, I was excited but yet a little apprehensive. The fellow blogger I was to buy for, I had no idea nothing about her. So I went immediately to her website and started to follow her. I read everything I could find on there about her, and just did as much “detective” work as I possibly could before buying her present.

Then I was off to Marshall’s to buy her some goodies. It didn’t take long at all to buy her some wonderful gifts that hopefully will be “relaxation gifts”. I put a lot of thought and love into buying her presents and  I am hoping that she loves them as much as I do (I always buy presents for others that I would love to receive myself;) ).

Also, Marshall’s and TJ Maxx are doing a fun contest that you may be interested in participating in. I am sure you have watched the commercials on tv so far, but here are some more details :

Marshalls and T.J. Maxx have joined together for a “Carol-oke” contest. One lucky person will win a $5,000 holiday shopping spree – just for singing their favorite holiday tune! The contest launches on Monday, November 30th on YouTube’s specially-created “Caroling Channel”,www.youtube.com/jointhecarolers. There, consumers can select from one of three carols, create their own “Carol-oke” video and upload for entry into the contest. For every consumer who uploads a video singing one of our original carols, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls will donate $1 towards the purchase of a brand new toy to Toys for Tots up to $50,000.

- Special Thanks to Marshall’s and TJ Maxx and my girl (Victoria) for putting together this very fun and exciting Secret Santa idea. I loved doing this.

I cannot wait to release who my Secret Santa recipient was, probably within the next 2 weeks! So be looking out for it!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The Popcorn Factory*, Give the gift that POPS!

For a gift that truly “pops,” The Popcorn Factory offers Big Snow design tins ($24.99-$39.99).  Available with The Popcorn Factory’s traditional three-way combo of robust cheese, butter and caramel corn, these tins are a classic gift that keeps on giving – in two-, three-and-a-half- or six-and-a-half gallon sizes.  Tins can be personalized with a photo or message label on top.  For more information, visit www.thepopcornfactory.com.

I was sent a sample tin of popcorn to review. It was wonderful. My family curled up and shared the popcorn while watching our favorite holiday shows. Every night when the holiday classics would come on the kids would go and grab the tin. It is still not finished yet. It is like a never ending popcorn tin. But that is a GREAT thing cause it is sooo great tasting.

If you have a movie lover in your family or an avid snack eater, this is the gift for them!

The Plus Size Mommy

*I was sent a tin to sample for free from The Popcorn Factory.
