Holiday Gift :California Wine Club Membership

in , , by Bre, 8:05 PM
In our household, wine is a big thing for us. My husband enjoys it more than I do too! I was lucky enough to receive some wine from www.cawineclub.com.  
 More about them:

For years Pam and I were frustrated trying to find truly great wine. Selecting a decent bottle of wine from thousands of pretty labels with prices ranging from $5-$35 was difficult at the best of times. We were always happiest with wine recommendations from friends.
So, that's what we wanted to do with The California Wine Club, start a wine of the month club that was just like "one friend recommending a great bottle of wine to another friend".
We are now celebrating 20 years of business and the wine adventures keep getting better! Pam and I knew that there were hundreds of small, family-owned wineries dedicated to producing exceptional wine ... and it was this wine that we wanted to share with our monthly wine club members. Each month we travel California's wine country searching out the wineries, meeting the families and tasting the wines that never make it to local stores or wine shops.
Club members and gift recipients will never receive any bulk, closeout or private label wines...ever. Each and every wine we select comes from a real working winery and is backed by our 100% guarantee.
With four wine of the month clubs to choose from, we have wine selections and wine gifts to suit all tastes and all budgets. To learn more go here:
  • Premier Club - Our most popular club!
  • Signature Series - For collectors and connoisseurs!
  • International Selections - From small "mom & pop" wineries around the world.
  • Aged Cabernet Series - Napa's most prestigious Cabernets aged 8 - 12 years.

The California Wine Club is a different kind of wine of the month club...a difference you'll taste with your first shipment!

 
I received several bottles of wine. They are from the Robledo family winery. I have to say that they are a little too bitter for my taste but my husband did love them. When I drink wine, I like to have a sip here and there but I could not really drink this wine like I have others. We have not finished them yet but they are being used and he is satisfied. I hope to become more of a wine drinker like he is.  Check it out today because this will make a great present for someone this Holiday Season!
Check them out on Facebook and Twitter to stay up with the latest news!
Will you be gifting wine to a loved one this Holiday season?

Want a chance to win something? 
At the end of November CWC will draw 52 winners and then at the end of December they will draw another 52 winners.

Prizes include:
1) One of four, Three Month Wine Club memberships (A $150 value you can give as a gift, or keep for yourself)
2) One of 50 handy Two Bottle Wine Totes ($25 value)
3) One of 50 Red Tulip Music wine country CD's ($15 value) 

ENTER TODAY!
 
This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. I received a 2 month Membership to the California Wine Club for the purpose of this review.

SCOOBY-DOO! MYSTERY INCORPORATED SEASON 2 PART 1: DANGER IN THE DEEP
IS AVAILABLE ON DVD NOVEMBER 13, 2012
FROM WARNER HOME VIDEO

Release Features 13 Episodes from the Hit Cartoon Network TV Series

BURBANK, CA (September 18, 2012) – Captivating new mysteries and intriguing new villains will delight viewers on Warner Home Video’s DVD release of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated Season 2 Part 1: Danger in the Deep, available November 13, 2012. The latest incarnation of the popular Scooby-Doo! franchise, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated follows teenage pals Daphne, Fred, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo as they investigate strange happenings in their hometown of Crystal Cove. The release will feature 13 episodes from the second season of the hit animated series and will retail for $19.97 SRP.

In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated Season 2 Part 1: Danger in the Deep, the gang returns to their hometown, Crystal Cove, to solve a series of baffling mysteries. First on the agenda is the elusive Crybaby Clown, who tortures the Cove’s inhabitants and evades Scooby-Doo and the gang’s every attempt to capture him. Velma travels to Russia and comes face-to-face with legendary witch, Baba Yaga. A creature named Dreamweaver begins to haunt people’s dreams. Crystal Cove is attacked by a menacing beast known as the Hodag of Horror. It’s a season filled with engaging mysteries and dramatic developments that’s not to be missed!

“Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated Season 2 Part 1: Danger in the Deep presents fans with a fresh and fun version of the classic cartoon we all know and love. The stories are richer and more complex. The characters show greater depth and personality,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation Marketing and Partner Brands. She added, “While it’s aimed at kids, adults will find themselves easily wrapped up in both the personal storylines and the unfolding mysteries. If you’re a fan of Scooby-Doo!, this is a must-have for your home entertainment collection.”

The first season finale of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated was Cartoon Network’s most watched program of the day and ranked #1 with Kids and Girls ages 2-11 and 6-11, while also ranking in the top 3 with all Boys.* Additionally, the animated series’ first season finale delivered over 2.5 million total viewers.*

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated centers on Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries in the spooky town of Crystal Cove, a sleepy coastal village that boasts a long history of ghostly sightings, werewolves and glowing deep sea divers. Because of all the paranormal activity, Crystal Cove has become a tourist hotspot that capitalizes on its haunted reputation — and the gang's meddling is therefore not appreciated by the people of Crystal Cove. Executive produced by Sam Register, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated draws on the iconic look and feel of the original Scooby-Doo! series and is presented in a modernized visual style created by some of today's leading animation artists.

FEATURED EPISODES:

  1. The Night the Clown Cried
  2. House of the Nightmare Witch

Recently I had the opportunity to with with a great company for a Christmas review. Ornaments With Love is a really great website with awesome customer service and fast delivery. Ornaments with Love is a company run by a family that has been in the retail gifts business for over 50 years. When I came across them I fell in love with the ornaments on their website. Each individual order placed with Ornaments with Love will be done by a single personalizer so that the lettering for each of the ornaments ordered will be consistent.
I had the chance to receive a Personalized Families with a Dog Christmas Ornament. I was able to personalize and add names to the left person, right person, banner and choose the dog that I wanted because this is Chippers first Christmas. I was given the chance to pick any ornament on their site that I wanted and this one just stuck out to me.

WRECK -IT RALPH! In Theatres NOW!

by Bre, 1:06 AM

Want something to do this weekend with your family? ? Go and see WRECK -IT RALPH!!

Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV’s “The Simpsons,” “Futurama”) take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in “Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers”) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, “30 Rock”), the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy.  He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV’s “Glee”) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, “The Sarah Silverman Program”) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade.  Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it’s too late?  “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters

#SkylandersGiants Review @SkylandersGame @BestBuyWOLF

in , by Bre, 2:35 AM
 I remember when I was younger I played Spyro alot. I have had the chance to try something quite similar! I was able to go to Best Buy and play a short demo of the new Skylanders Giants game. Skylanders Giants is a follow up of the last game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. The game is actually pretty neat. It tells you how they Giants were separated from the others. You can use the provided portal and switch characters. You can battle your friends too! You basically beat up characters, collect gems and reach an objective. This is a great game for any kid honestly because the violence involves no blood at all.



Why should you get this for your kid(s)? Because your kid can learn puzzles and cooperation and have fun! You are encouraged to buy real game pieces that you can scan into the game but it is not completely necessary. I do however feel this game is going to be a hit for the 2012 Holiday Season!
I do not feel that it is much different than the last game, other than better graphics and bigger characters. It is still a cute hit though. Personally, until my kids ask me to buy it, I could not see myself purchasing it. I will however play if a friend has it.

Depending on what platform you want to buy this game for, it comes in Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo 3DS, & Wii.
Check out more via Best Buy Today!
