Personalized Etched Wine Bottle Review



I hope my in-laws don't read my blog or they are going to know what their anniversary gift is 3 months in advance! They are this Catholic couple who has been married like 49 years and their anniversary is on HALLOWEEN! I love it!


I love the whole idea of this gift. I know so many people who drink wine. I should get one of these personalized for my sister-in-law who is always gifting me amazing hand-me-down clothes and the cool thing is I can say WHATEVER I WANT ON IT! So she can drink her wine and read the bottle that says, "You are a rockin' sister-in-law. Thanks for everything you do!"

There are just so many options for this running around in my messed-up head. You could be all classy like I was above or you could go total goofball, like "Glad you are moving. Get the hell out of town." or "Welcome to the neighborhood. You are going to need this wine. Good luck."

When the wine is all gone (hiccup), save this and put flowers in it or just display it on a shelf as a reminder of a happy time.

Here's how you can stalk them on Twitter.

From the sponsor:
Enjoy a deep hand-etched and hand-painted gift. Each bottle is individually created by our skilled artisans into a truly unique work of art. All bottles are customized, with your design choice and your own personalized four-line message, allowing you to share your special thoughts with the ones you care about! 

Open the bottle to enjoy a delicious cabernet sauvignon, a savory blend of plum and berry flavors. Or choose our private label merlot laced with black cherry aromas and a soft touch of vanilla oak. If you prefer white wine, our select chardonnay is a clean, fresh varietal with a fruity flavor and hints of honey and almond. If you prefer celebrating, our California sparkling wine offers a delightful bubbly that will highlight any special moment. In addition to our house wines, we can etch many name brand wines and champagnes, such as Robert Mondavi, Charles Krug, Veuve Cliquot, Moet & Chandon      
   
Standard size 750ml wine bottle. Item is sold as a single wine bottle.

Note: The cap colors for the bottles differ. The cabernet comes with a red cap; the merlot with a light blue cap; the chardonnay with a bronze cap and the champagne comes with a gold foil cap.

Good Boy Organics Review


We are in love at my house. With Organicasaurus baked organic corn snacks, that is. Check this out:


  • These are 3-D puffed corn snacks that are shaped like DINOSAURS!
  • They are certified USDA organic
  • Certified gluten-free
  • Baked, not fried
  • No preservatives or trans fat
  • Non-GMO project verified
I can bring these to any hippie homeschooler gathering and not get dirty looks!


Looks like they carry these snacks at the Natural Grocers right up the road from me. I've never been there, but I'm willing to give it a shot. You can check HERE to see where they carry this terrific snack in your neck of the woods.

They also have a lot of other cool snacks you'll love, as well, like I really want to try these next:
We are big fans of Veggie Chips and Veggie Straws but it's hard to find them in decent flavors anymore. Looks like BOPS are going to be my new healthy go-to snack because they come in flavors like BBQ, Sea Salt, Sour Cream and Onion and Aged White Cheddar. Can anyone say ROAD TRIP FOOD?!

Everybody is Getting Married at My House Lately


Get out your hankies cuz everybody is getting married at my house. Above shows Mr. Kerrie giving away bride Callie. Notice the paper flowers strung on black string behind Miss Julia, a friend of the family. I believe Callie married a pteradactyl. We are so proud.



A few days before, her sister Eva married a pink giraffe. She says it's her wife. Her little brother, in hula skirt, gave her away.

The things kids come up with when their parents horribly strip them of most forms of technology. Sure, they watch TV and play Moshi Monsters and ABCMouse.com and Bookworm on the computer, but otherwise they have to fend for themselves in the entertain yourself department, just as I had to do when I was a kid and just as Mr. Kerrie had to do.

I think we are okay people!

My Poop Don't Stink: Just a Drop Odor Eliminator Review



Okay, my family was WAAAAAAY to excited to try this little product out. It's this tiny bottle with 100 drops of "personal odor eliminator" so it should last about a week in my house!

You're supposed to put a drop in the toilet BEFORE you do your stinky bizness, but the kids keep forgetting. Plus I put it in MY bathroom because I knew if it was in the kids' bathroom it would all be squeezed into the toilet at once or into the sink or God knows where else.

*I don't personally need this product since everyone knows my stuff don't stink.

The company sez this:
"Just a Drop is revolutionary because it eliminates personal bathroom odors BEFORE they enter the air. Place 1-2 drops into the toilet BEFORE you go, and odors are trapped below the water surface until they are flushed away. All you leave is an odor free bathroom." It comes in 7 scents and big sizes for families like mine. It was featured on Dr. Oz and The Doctors!

So if you know you are going to make a BIG STINKIE, you put 2 drops in, got it?

So this was tried out in my house and it does kinda rock. Better than an aerosol spray or a candle that will burn the house down or lighting matches over and over or running the sucker fan for an hour.

Is it wrong that I am blogging this with a goofy, juvenile smile on my face?

Okay, so this is a terrific product! And the company is offering you a 20% discount on your first purchase with the coupon code Blogger. Follow them here on Facebook and here on Twitter!

I give this 5 Dove Chocolate Hearts out of 5, because I am off the Weight Watchers wagon temporarily.
