Wii | Mom Blog | From Dates to Diapers™

Technically, I guess I threw the party, but I couldn’t have done it without Nintendo and Netflix. In fact, they asked me to host a gathering in my home, for all of my friends, and they provided the fabulous food and entertainment, with little left for me to do.

"Netflix/Nintendo Party"

Create a free slideshow with Picnik!

My friends and I had a blast, as we watched the kids play new Wii games, but the best part was when we all settled down with popcorn and movie candy and watched Curly Sue, while it streamed through Netflix on our Wii.

You see, with a Netflix subscription you can watch all of the movies and shows you’d like with just the wave of a Wii wand, without having to wait for a DVD to arrive in the mail. It’s really quite convenient and super easy to use.
.

Would you like to try it? I have a Wii disc, good for a free 3-month Netflix trial, for three of you to win. Just leave me a comment and tell me why you’d like to try Netflix on your Wii. I’ll pick the winners next weekend.

So as to allow more time for all to enter before Saturday night, I have decided to combine the last several items in my Mother’s Day Giveaway Extravaganza into one final post. Each item will be won by a different entrant and will be announced with all other winners on Mother’s Day. I hope you don’t mind.

Here we go…

FantasyJewelryBox.com is one of the leading online retailers of celebrity and designer inspired jewelry. Although celebrity inspired jewelry is their specialty, they have a pretty impressive collection of sterling silver jewelry, fabulous cubic zirconia rings and necklaces, and more!

I spent hours perusing the sparkly jewelry at FantasyJewelryBox.com before finally deciding on Krista’s Silver Hammered Metal Rose Statement Necklace. I can definitely see myself wearing this statement necklace with either a tanktop this summer, or with a dress for an evening out.

WIN IT! Enter to win a $35 Fantasy Jewelry Box gift certificate by visiting FantasyJewleryBox.com and telling me in the comments about your favorite item. I’d love to know what screams you!

I don’t know about you, but $8,000 toward a family dream vacation, plus $2,000 for a spa day or night out on the town with my friends, sounds heavenly! If it sounds just as good to you, I’m thinking you should head over and enter the Nestle Family Mother’s Day to Remember Sweepstakes, through May 31st. You can enter daily and it’s super easy!

In the meantime, how about planning the perfect “family day out”? Whether you like to have picnics in your backyard, or spend an afternoon at your local park, Nestle wants to help. They have offered one lucky winner a package containing product and coupons for some of MY favorites. Yummyness like Nesquik, Stouffer’s, Juicy Juice, Toll House, Wonka, and more! They are also throwing in a $29.99 Shutterfly giftcard, plus a 30-day sample of Glowelle – a beauty drink dietary supplement that protects and hydrates the inner and outer layers of the skin.

WIN IT! Leave me a comment telling me about your idea of a perfect family day out.

I don’t know about you, but I often leave my house without a charged-up iPhone, since I horrible about remembering to charge it. Well, Target can come to the rescue for us with the Belkin iPod Charging Kit. This kit, however, not only comes with the DC cable, but a standard AC cable, as well, making it perfect for all your iPhone and iPod charging needs!

WIN IT! Leave me a comment telling me about the time YOU were without a charged phone. I know we all have a story or two!
