Hampton Hotel Grand Prize

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently wrote a post about the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. In the post, I told you about the free weekend giveaway. You can view the post here. What I didn't tell you about, is the GRAND PRIZE. What is the grand prize, you ask? Well, it the best prize of all!

For the grand prize, you would win a free weekend stay at any Hampton hotel, for you and 100 of your friends. One hundred, did you catch that part? Yes, for the grand prize, you can stay the hotel with 100 of your friends! The grand prize winner wins the whole hotel (100 rooms) for two nights. This would be awesome for me, because I am getting married soon. It would be great to have all of my family and friends together for the whole weekend, and for free. And of course, when you stay at hotels, you have to pay a hotel tax. Well, Hampton has you covered! The winner will also receive $5000 to help cover the hotel tax. How awesome is that??

My wedding is only going to have 75 people, because its a budget wedding. But of course, if I won the grand prize, I would invite 25 more people. All my friends and family from Washington would be there, and my family in south, as well as my friends in Hawaii. It would be so much easier for them to attend because they wouldn't have to worry about hotel costs. And in a hotel full of my friends and family, of course we are gonna party! Since it would be my wedding weekend, I would put together a list of things to do while we are there. There is the rehearsal dinner, a morning after brunch, the bachelor/bachelorette parties. There would be so much to do with the whole hotel to ourselves!

This sweepstakes is open to residents of the US, Canada (excluding Quebec), UK and Mexico. There is no purchase necessary. The sweepstakes is open from now until September 4th, 2010.

What would you do if you had the whole hotel to yourself? Who would you invite?

I would love to take another weekend vacation. My fiance and I went out to Seattle for the weekend for my birthday. And it was great! I would love to be able to take another trip out to Seattle, or maybe even California? Ahhh...the possibilities. It would especially be great if we were able to stay at a Hampton hotel!

My two bridesmaids live in California. And my maid of honor lives in Texas. Since I'm closer to California, if I won a free weekend from the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes, I would take a trip down to Cali and stay down there. I would invite my two bridesmaids to stay at the hotel with me. It would be a great girls weekend, wouldn't it? Then I would extend my trip and visit my cousin, the maid of honor, in Texas and stay with her since she has her own place. Of course, it would be great to win two free weekends. Hehe, I can dream, can't I?

If you won, where would you go? And who would you bring?

Free Pizza!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently had a chance to try out some Freschetta FlatBread . And its good! I normally don't buy frozen (or even fresh) pizza but I always love a chance to try something new. I went to my local Albertsons to buy the pizza and they have a good selection! They were on sale for $4.99 each, but the original price was $7.99. Since the price was so high, I would only go back again if it was on sale. I didn't see any of the flat bread, but that's ok. We got two of the Naturally Rising and one of the Brick Oven. I personally like the Brick Oven better. I'm much more of a thin crust person, and Freschetta did not fail to impress me in that!

When we made the Brick Oven pizza, it turned out perfect. It is my favorite! But when we made the two Naturally Rising pizzas, they were a little soft. I left it in the oven for the amount of time it said on the box, but I think I should have left it in a little longer. Both of them were very good! I would definitely buy again!

Now how would you like to sample some of your own? I have two free Freschetta FlatBread coupons left to giveaway!

Does Your Baby Have Rashes?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

For all you parents out there, and of course, my mama-to-be friends and readers, this post is for you. Have any of you tried Boudreaux's Butt Paste? If you have used it before, did you like? Please share with us your experience.

For everyone else, Boudreaux's Butt Paste is a diaper rash ointment. It also helps to prevent diaper rash, protect chafed skin, and seals out wetness. It spreads on easily, cleans off quickly, and has a pleasant scent. It is available in various size tubes and also a 16oz. jar. I think I remember seeing it when I was buying gifts for my friend Stephanie who had her son last September. I didn't buy it though because I decided to buy her something else. It is available in most drug stores, convenient stores, and discount stores nationwide. I usually shop at Walmart and that's where I found the butt paste.

Boudreaux's Butt Paste has been featured on Oprah, The Tonight Show, The Today Show, ESPN, While You Were Out, and even in People Magazine.

From the package, it seems like a good product. I don't really know of anyone that uses it so I can't comment on the product itself. Most of my family and friends that I've talked to don't use diaper rash ointment. To them its just an added expense that they don't need. However, when I have my first baby, I might try it out and see if it is worth it. I'm sure it would have many benefits to it, like convenience and effectiveness. I'm sure it smells good too!

For all of you who haven't tried it yet (or would like to try it again), you can go here for a free sample of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Please let me know what you think of this product!

Take Me to Kissimmee

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Kissimmee Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.



I love Florida. I love it so much that we are planning on going there for our honeymoon. We were initially thinking about staying at Disney World (because we are big kids at heart!). But after reading up on Kissimmee, Florida, I might try to convince my fiance to stay there instead. Its only about 30 minutes south of Orlando, which makes it easily accessible to all the theme parks and shops.

On my dream honeymoon vacation, we would stay at the Quality Suites Royale Parc Suites hotel. It is only one mile away from Disney World so it is at a perfect distance for us. I've never been to Kissimmee before but I have been to Orlando. I love visiting new places and this would be a perfect addition to my list! I love being able to do free things while on vacation and one thing I would like see is the Monument of States. ------>

Of course we would also visit Disney World, Universal Studios, and Seaworld. There are so many fun options in Kissimmee, its hard to narrow down what I would like to see and do. Because I want to experience it all! :]

What about you? Have you ever been to Kissimmee, Florida? If not, or if you want to go again, make sure to visit the city's tourism website here for more information.

Date Night Movie

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 20th Century Fox. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love romantic comedies. Especially since I already know these actors are funny, I would love to see this movie this weekend. I'm talking about Date Night Movie. It stars two funny actors, Tiny Fey and Steve Carell. You may know Tina Fey from “Baby Mama” and “Mean Girls” and Steve Carell from “40-Year-Old Virgin” and “The Office”. This movie comes out this weekend, on April 9th, 2010. I highly encourage you to watch the trailer. I know you will love it. I’m sure this will be a good movie, you should make sure to watch it this weekend.

In Date Night, a bored suburban couple played by Steve Carell and Tina Fey go out on their weekly date night and end up finding themselves in lots of trouble. Their night involves breaking and entering, a car chase, a shootout and a showdown with an underworld boss at a strip club. Husband and wife come out of the adventure with some scratches and also with their ardor renewed. What a crazy night they will have. This movie is a must see. It has romance, comedy, and a crazy adventure.

To read more about the movie, you can either read the full New York Times article here, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/movies/04date.html?ref=movies, or watch the trailer here:
