I'm a HouseParty Party Host

I'm a "Be The Chef With Chef Boyardee" party host, how exciting is that?!  This will be my 7th party that I've hosted with HouseParty.com.  My kids love Chef Boyardee, it's a quick and easy meal to heat up when the going get rough around here.  I also found that there is one variety that contains no milk since my son is allergic to milk and it's the "Mini Pasta Shells with Meatballs". 

Chef Boyardee is named after its founder, Hector Boiardi, who was born in Italy in 1897. In 1914, Boiardi came to the U.S. and followed his brother to the kitchen of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. There, he eventually worked his way up to head chef. In December 1915, Boiardi catered President Woodrow Wilson’s second wedding. In 1924, Boiardi opened the Il Giardino d’Italia (the Garden of Italy) restaurant at East 9th Street and Woodland Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. When restaurant customers began asking him for his recipes and ingredients, he got the idea to sell his flavorful creations. To keep up with requests and production, Boiardi opened a factory in 1928. He introduced his products to the public in 1929, touting the low cost of spaghetti as a good choice to serve to the entire family. Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name “Chef Boy-Ar-Dee” so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly. In 1946, the company was sold to American Home Products. The brand was distributed for use by United States armed forces. American Home Products turned its food division into International Home Foods in 1996. Four years later, International Home Foods was purchased by ConAgra Foods, which continues to produce Chef Boyardee canned pastas bearing Hector Boiardi's likeness. Today, Boiardi’s legacy of quality ingredients and no preservatives still goes into every can, including vine-ripened tomatoes and real Italian seasoned meat.

My party pack includes:

For you, the host:

• 6 Coupons for one FREE can (15 oz. or smaller) of Chef Boyardee

Cars 2 : The Video Game

 I was given the opportunity to review a new video game called Cars 2 being a member of  BzzAgent.com. This video game is a third-person racing game where you play as your favorite characters from the movie actual movie. This game allows you to join Mater and Lightning McQueen, joined by secret agents Holley Shiftwell and Finn McMissile, on there adventure to become elite spy agents for the top secret association of C.H.R.O.M.E (Command Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage).

My kids were so excited to play Cars 2.   After they played for awhile I asked them what they liked about it. My daughter said " It's challenging, but fun at the same time." This is a video game anybody can play.

This game also keeps you busy for awhile. There are many rewards and missions to unlock so it doesn't seem like you're playing the same thing over and over. One mission you can unlock is Disrupter, this mission can be compared to the game of capture the flag. Disrupter is also to the favorite of my kids. There is also freeplay where you can play any mission you want for as long as you want. In conclusion, this game is tons of fun for everyone and keeps you enertained for awhile.

For additional information about the game, check out Disney Pixar's  Facebook

The game can be purchased in all game platforms and is available now

**disclosure:  I'm a member of Bzzagent.com and was given a copy of the game for my review.,  my opinions are my own and yours may differ

I LOVE This Pumpkin But.....

he is of absolutely no use to me since he doesn't work.

 I bought this item yesterday at a store (I won't name names here).  It was on a display with all the other Halloween items.  I thought it was the cutest thing, and there were only three others.  I debated on whether to get it, but I believe if you see something you really like pick it up right then otherwise it will not be there the next time.  Of the three pumpkins, this one was the only "nice looking" one.  All the others had globs of hot glue all over the face and just didn't look nice.  Inside the pumpkin is a battery operated tea light, and before walking away from the table I made sure it had all it's parts.  Between walking through the store, and purchasing it the battery compartment came undone which I didn't know this until I got home.  The cashier wrapped the pumpkin in paper before placing it in the bag.  

When I got home and took it out of the bag this is what I saw.....

Well, I need the bottom of the battery compartment for it to work.  I called the store to see if the backing was anywhere in the checkout area, or somehow they could help me.  I even went so far as to ask if they could take a backing off of one of the other pumpkins and save it for me.  They told me they could not, that I could return this item and purchase another.  I don't want another...I want this pumpkin!!!

My reasoning for this post is that customer service is definitely not what it use to be, where they would go above and beyond to make the customer happy.  I even went so far to call the corporate office to complain, and basically I got the same answer "we will be happy to accept your return"....really??!  But what do I know, I'm just the customer, a customer who may or may not be back.

Mat Kearney "Young Love" CD Review

Honestly, to tell you the truth I have never heard of Mat Kearney until I received a campaign opportunity from the One2One Network. So immediately before signing up I had to look him up. The first song I heard from him was "Closer To Love" and absolutely fell in love with his voice, it's AMAZING! How the heck did I miss this one??! If you aren't too into the "scene" like me and haven't heard of him you may have heard his past music on television shows such as 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, The Hills, Friday Night Lights, Scrubs, and NCIS to name a few.



So today I'm here to tell you a bit about his third album "Young Love". When I received the CD, it immediately went in the player. I listened to the whole album while surfing the internet. I just loved how upbeat the songs were, found myself dancing a little in my seat. Even heard my son, who is 9yrs, in the background say "nice song" as one was playing. My overall opinion of this album is positive, I can't find anything negative about it. His voice captivated me from the beginning!

Mat's album is available in stores now.
