Pamper Yourself with Cafe Escapes K-Cup Portion Packs {Giveaway}

By a show of hands, how many of you pamper yourself each day?  Take 10 minutes of “me” time a day?  5 minutes?  Anyone?  I know as a busy Mom, if going to the bathroom alone doesn’t count (which rarely happens anyway), I never get a chance to do anything for me.  Fortunately, Green Mountain Coffee has come up with a simple, easy way to pamper yourself for a few minutes a day…Cafe Escapes K-Cup Portion Packs!

With four delicious flavors, you are sure to find something you love.  My favorite, the Cafe Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa, is fa-bu-lous with some homemade marshmallows.  My husband did a double take with the Mocha as he was surprised by such a chocolatey flavor.  The Chai Latte is perfect with breakfast while you can finish the day with Dark Hot Chocolate as it tastes more like dessert!

Don’t Miss the Memories with Rayovac {Coupon Code}

As soon as the holidays are over and we look towards the New Year, I am in full on party planning mode.  My oldest daughter’s birthday is at the end of January with my youngest’s close behind in early March (not to mention my husband’s is the day after).  The next few days are filled with researching and booking  party venues, ordering party supplies, assembling favors and mailing invitations.  In the whirlwind, it is easy to forget the little things!  Inevitably, I will forget something and often that includes charging the batteries in my own camera.

I definitely do not want to miss any of these precious memories, so I was thrilled to learn about the rechargeable battery options from Rayovac.  As a Rayovac Power Blogger, I received a nice package of the products currently available.  My favorite?  The USB 2 Position AA and AAA Charger (available at Walmart).

As a blogger, I am basically attached to my laptop so having an alternate way of charging the batteries for my digital camera is a blessing.  This charger allows you to recharge 2 AA or 2 AAA NiMH or NiCD batteries from a computer or any standard USB hub (aka my laptop).  I love that the charger is very compact and perfect for packing in my suitcase for out of town brand events or blog conferences.  I am able to fully charge Rayovac Everyday Use AA batteries in just 9 hours and the green LED lights let me know when the charge is complete.

As it turns out, I am not the only one in party mode these days!  Today, January 17th, Rayovac turns 106 years old! To celebrate, I have a special Rayovac discount just for you!  Simply use promo code PowerBlogger20 to receive 20% off your Rayovac order and free shipping on orders over $25 now through January 22nd.

Happy Birthday, Rayovac!

Don’t Forget the Rayovac Batteries this Holiday Season!

You’ve shopped till you dropped this holiday season and checked your list twice.  You’ve bought clothes, toys, candy, gift cards and electronics….but did you remember the batteries?  There is honestly nothing worse that watching your kids open gifts as they squeal with excitement only to be disappointed that the ONE toy they couldn’t wait for will actually have to wait. Major Parent Fail.

My husband and I always make sure that batteries are on the kids’ Christmas Wish List and Santa has never forgotten.  Unfortunately, family members (especially the ones without small children) often forget.  To avoid a holiday meltdown, we stock our cabinets with Rayovac alkaline batteries in just about every size (you can never be too prepared, right?). The alkaline batteries are ideal for use in toys, games, flashlights, radios and CD players.

If you need to power up your gifts this year, check out Rayovac on Facebook for a $1 off Alkaline Batteries printable coupon.  If your kids are electronic lovers, you may need more than a few batteries this holiday season.  Check out the Rayovac Batteries Holiday Bundle which includes 8 AA, 8AAA, 4 C, 4 D and 2 9V for only $14.99 (normally $24.95).  This offer will be valid through December 24th and can be obtained by using code BUNDLE.

Create Custom Artwork with Gallery Direct {Coupon Code}

Being the Experimental Mommy, it is safe to say that my brain is logical.  I love science, math and anything that just “makes sense.”  That being said, I am not very creative.  Art eludes me and home decorating is even more of a challenge which explains the bare walls in my house.

We have a lovely fireplace with nice French doors on either side, but I have yet to find (in the 7 years we have lived here) something to place over the mantle.  However, we recently took our holiday pictures and one of my two daughters together came out beautifully.  I thought it would look great over the mantle but was unsure the next steps.  Fortunately, I was asked to check out the services of Gallery Direct.

About the company: “Gallerydirect.com is the largest limited edition fine art publisher, printmaker and artisan framer in the world. This means we do it all: we find the artists and the artwork; we market and recreate the art ourselves. There is no middleman between the artwork and your walls.

Not only does Gallery Direct have beautiful contemporary art and illustrations, you can also upload your very own photos and transform them into beautiful works of art!  Uploading my image was incredibly easy and I had many styles to choose from including aluminum and acrylic framing techniques.  After much consideration, I selected to print my photo on a canvas gallery wrap and even customized the exact size that would fit over my mantle.

My canvas arrived quickly and was ready to hang.  Best part?  My canvas gallery wrap in a size of 24×34 was less than $200 shipped!  I am absolutely in love with my Gallery Direct print and it is the perfect addition to an otherwise boring fireplace.

Need to spruce up your walls this holiday season?  Take advantage of the $500 art home giveaway on Gallery Direct’s facebook page!  Or use code Turkey50 for a total of 50% off the original price thru Thanksgiving!
