Hartstrings Grand Re-opening

Have you been to Hartstrings lately?
Well if you haven't you are missing out. Their selection is amazing, and now they have added even more clothing to choose from. With their grand re-opening I learned that a few more brands have been added to their already large selection of Hartstrings clothing. Now you can also find Puma, DKNY, Timberland, Nicole Miller, LRG, Baby Phat, Apple Bottoms & Akademiks.  



I was so excited to get a chance to host an in-store party at Hartstrings
Where some of my mommy friends and I had a chance to check out all the new and exciting things happening at Hartstrings.  The first 30 moms in the store received a gift bag with some fun goodies. And there was also snacks and drinks for the children and us mommies.

The kids also had a chance to have their photos taken, and we will receive 
cards with pictures on them. Not only did we have a fun morning of shopping and hanging out but 
I also was able to pick a charity to donate $150 to. How wonderful is Hartstrings for doing that! 
That made me love this store even MORE then I already do.  There was so many things to choose from.
I have soo many reasons why I love Hartstrings and one of them is their holiday lines.
Look at this gorgeous stuff!!
Right now they are having an extra 25% off of everything. So check out their website Hartstrings or go to the store and have a look around for yourself.
 

Thank you Hartstrings and MomSelect !
 And don't forget to checkout MomSelect. They always have awesome opportunities like this one.


All my opinions expressed are my own, I will be receiving a $50 giftcard for sharing my opinion and hosting the In store event at Hartstrings.

ABBA Wii Dance Party

Thanks to Crowdtap, I got to host an ABBA Wii Dance Party.
And we shook our groove things!
I received an ABBA Tshirt, An ABBA CD with greatest hits, and an ABBA Dance Wii Game.
We had so much fun grooving to ABBA's Hits!

Even my oldest daughter got in on the fun.

Hailey and the Hubby playing. Scott even beat me, which I was a little upset about. But hey I guess he could groove to the music better then I can.
How did he beat me so much?????  His points 6860 mine 1429.
Note to self, must practice to beat the hubby.


 This was one of those fun games that would be great to play at a party, family game night, or just for fun by yourself. We had so much fun, thank you Crowdtap for letting me host an awesome party!



All these opinions are my own, I was not paid to write this, I received no compensation. I did receive a party pack to host my party.

Oldnavy Bundle-Up Bash!!

Are you looking for some stylish winter clothing? How about an infinity scarf? Or a complementing sweater that isn't too bulky and fits just right? Or how about a plush fur-lined hat to keep your ears cozy and warm? Well let me tell you what, I found all of those things and then some at OldNavy! 
I had the luxury of being picked to host an In-Store Party at Old Navy where myself and 3 of my friends, Yes I said 3!!!, received a coupon for a pair of pants, sweater and winter accessory. 
Compliments of Crowdtap.
We all left smiling and giddy with excitement over our choices.
 As you can see here where im all cozy, warm, and HAPPY! 
And here are the girls getting in the cozy spirit!

Are you ready for a winter wonderland photo shoot? 
Good because here it comes!

Here is Audrey in her favorite looks. This hat was very popular between us girls!
Teal sweater, Yes Please!
 Amber with a wrap sweater that I love! That was her sweater she picked.
And the white pants, to die for!
 Jade with her photo montage of scarves! oh yes we are digging all the scarves!
 Also a pop of color with an added tank top underneath a sweater, LOVE IT!
And here I am, Jade an I both picked an infinity scarf for our winter accessory. They had so many to chose from it was hard, but Im all about the sparkle in my navy scarf! Cardigans, sweaters, V-neck Sweaters, and an open sweater were my top favorites.

Thank you OldNavy and Crowdtap!!!


We had so muchhhh fun, it was unreal. We all tried on some many outfits, and different looks. It was sooo hard making a choice, as it usually is at Old Navy. Because lets face it Old Navy rocks!

OralBStages Party

Thanks to Momselect  and Oral B, I got to host an OralBStages Party. 
And it was a blast!!!
I received my Package and could not believe how much stuff was in the box.

I could not wait to share these things with my mommy friends. I received gift bags, 11 tooth brushes, 11 lavander hair and body washes, 11 tubes of toothpaste, balloons, popcorn, popcorn containers, jelly beans, the Winnie the Pooh DVD, coupons, a fun oral b flashcard game, and information packets. 
And all of my friends were thrilled when they got their goody bags. 

I set up our concession stand for the kids to get their popcorn for the movie.

The girls lined up to get their popcorn.


View from inside the concession stand.

Then the girls got settled in to watch the movie, popcorn in hand.


 After the movie was over (even though we watched it a couple times throughout the party) we played the Oral B flashcard game. The kids were so happy when they got the answers correct.

After the game was complete, we talked about how important it is to take care of your teeth, and brush at least twice a day. We talked about some of the things that were in the information packet, and everyone got their gift bags. My party was such a success, and I was so happy to be sharing Oral B Stages products because I have always used Oral B products for my children. So it came to no surprise to me when I read that Oral B Stages was the #1 dentist recommended toothbrush brand for children. 
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to share with my friends!
You can find OralB on Facebook here OralB, and on twitter here OralB. Go check it out!

*I did not receive any compensation for this party or writing this blog post, all opinions expressed were my own.*

Hartstrings Dress Review

Thanks to MomSelect and Hartstrings I was one of the lucky moms chosen to
review a dress from Hartstrings. And now I'm super excited to share with you how adorable this dress was.  
 

Looking at Addy in this dress makes you want to run to Hartstrings and get one of your own doesn't it!


This dress also comes with lil bloomers for underneath.

The quality of this dress is amazing, it will definitely last us awhile and we will get lots of use out of it.


Don't you just love the little pompoms the cheerleader has, they are such a great decorative part of the dress and addy was loving touching them and feeling the thread they were made with so they really pop!

So go check out Hartstrings now and get a cute little outfit of your own. 


If you are in my area (Fort Myers, FL) we have a Hartstring at Miromar Outlets, where you can go
and check out some of the beautiful clothing they have. There is also a location in Naples, FL 7935 airport pulling road suite, Naples, FL 34109. They will be having a grand reopening on December 17th from 10:00am-2:00pm. More on that later! They have some amazing Holiday wear
that can be found in New Arrivals .  I'm swooning over this Red and White Plaid CoatBow Print Tights, and these Girls Red Patent Ballet Flats.  And if your on a budget there is also a Sale section online 
you can find here HartstringsOnSale.

I was not paid to write this, these are all my own opinions, I did receive a free harstrings dress to review.

Zumba Fitness 2 for Wii HouseParty

I had the pleasure of hosting a Houseparty for Zumba Fitness 2 for the Wii.
It was a blast! 
My party pack consisted of :
For you, the host:
  • 1 Zumba® Fitness 2 game for the Wii (with Zumba® Fitness Belt) 
  • 1 Copy of Z-Life® Magazine

For your guests:
  • 15 Coupons to save $5 off the Zumba® Fitness 2 game at GameStop
  • 3 Extra Zumba® Fitness Belts

For you and your guests:
  • 8  Zumba® bracelets
  • 14 Z-Life® Magazine subscription discount cards that also feature a 
  • 30% off Zumba® apparel and accessories  purchase of $99 or more at Zumba.com
  • 14 Week-long passes to try a Zumba® class at 24 Hour Fitness






 I set up my table for the guests to grab there 
there party treats!

I made some healthy 
snacks, and
made sure to have lots 
of water on hand to 
re-hydrate. 





Then it was time to get down
to business.....
First we watched the moves to get a breakdown of
what was going on. There is a slow option and then a normal paced option to get acquainted with the moves at your own pace. 



Then we started with the slowest song first so
 we could stretch and get used to 
the dance moves. 
And loosen up. 

We had a blast with the 
Zumba Fitness 2 game for Wii. You can see the excitement 
on our faces :)
That handy belt you see us wearing is where you place your wii remote as you are playing, this 
way the wii can measure your moves by 
the way you are shaking it. Here you can see we were really getting down, as you are 
doing the moves the the game will give you stars 
and at the end of each song you get a score. 
It also shows you how many calories 
you burn. If you are looking for some fun and
exciting cardio this game is for you! We had such
a blast!



Even the kids 
had to get in on the 
action. 





The Zumba Fitness 2 game for wii was so much fun and I really got my work out on! And had a lot of fun while doing it. The game was really fun to follow and had choices of low intensity, med intensity, and high intensity. Lots of fun music and moves. Go and buy this game now, you wont be sorry!
I love hosting houseparties, and you can host too by going to Houseparty.com. There are all different options of parties to apply to host for. They even have a section for 21 and older, right now you can apply to host a Smirnoff Malt Mixed Drinks Holiday House Party if you are 21 years of age or older.
So go check it out, sign up and apply to host a house party today!

Our park has a hill

This weekend we went to the park and had a picnic.



It was such a nice day out. 

Addison as usual followed Hailey and wanted her full attention.


And all Hailey wanted to do was play on the hill and eat her Christmas cake.
Yes, I said Christmas cake, because even though it's November those
bad boys are fully stocked at Publix. And Hailey has a sweet spot for them, 
no pun intended.


I love days like this. Not only did we hit up the Estero park, but we went to gulf coast town center
to check out the new "park" they added. However, I was disappointed because their new park
consisted of a pirate ship and one octopus slide.  So it was
a bit of a let down.
