Kentucky Pride, Kroger Fried!

Weh Di Go Aan?!  So once again, we had the privilege of having a Kroger dinner brought to our home through BzzAgent.  We feasted on the Deli Fried Chicken and I have all the deets of our dinner.

Paint, Paint and Paint...This Time ONLY On The Wall!

Weh Di Go Aan?!  Alright, let's not talk about what a bad blogger I am.  Life will get in the way and before I know it time has passed before I have updated you all.  I hope you're loving the new design.  I need to play with it a big more but I'm pretty proud of the way it has turned out.

Well as you can tell from my blog title, I have been painting.  Painting a new room you ask? Um...not exactly.  I actually finished painting the living room I described here back in November prior to leaving for my Thanksgiving travels. Why did it take 8 months you ask? Because I tried to tackle the task by myself but it was too much.  I needed to move furniture and fixtures and had to concede that I needed assistance.  In steps in the hubs and our teen.  The process still took longer than I wanted but was much faster with the three of us working instead of one.  Also, the teen is taller than the both of us and getting those corners and trim was essential in completing the room.

 

Springtime Feast with Kroger

Weh Di Go Aan Friends?!  Long time no hear from me I'm sure.  Life has been busy and I know it's no excuse for posts being two months apart but I'm working on being better.  

Anyway, the most important reason this blog is to rave about my Springtime Feast on Kroger through my work as a BzzAgent.  Through BzzAgent, Kroger gave my family coupons to enjoy a Roast Pork dinner including sides and dessert completely on them.  I'll be honest we're not much of a pork eating family and I didn't have a clue as to where to start but I had tons of options.

Gin and Juice (well Ginger Ale)

Grace and Peace and Happy Valentine's Day!  I haven't been back in a long time and now I am here to do a review on some pretty good gin.  I'm not a gin aficionado but I know what taste good.  After doing my most recent BzzAgent campaing, Hendrick's Gin ranks high on that list.

How Matrix Got His Groove Back with Eukanuba with 3D DentaDefense

If you know me (and most of you are getting to know me) you will know that my pooch Matrix (my 9 year old Maltese) is my heart.  I've had him for 7 years and cannot really think of life without him.  He used to be a very Spoiled Maltese but I must admit that I have been slacking on spoiling him lately especially when it comes to his dental care.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As I sit with my family enjoying The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and smelling the delicious food being cooked in the kitchen. I'm reminded of what today is all about.  I am so thankful for my wonderful husband, Mr. B.  I am thankful for my family, my friends and my life in general.  God has been truly good to me and I thank HIM for each and every blessing I have received.  My prayer to you today is that you can also find something to be thankful for.  For some the holiday season is a tough time for various reasons.  Today, I want you to find that glimmer of hope and not to give up. The fact that you are alive is reason enough to be thankful.  May God bless and keep you and may you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Paint in My Eye But Also On My Wall

Yes, oh yes, I begin with the title "Paint in My Eye" because you guessed it I got paint in my eye. Only me.  So why might you ask did I have paint in my eye?  Or even better, how did I manage to get paint in my eye?  Well part of my most recent duties as a BzzAgent was review the Aura paint by Benjamin Moore.  This review couldn't have come in a better time because we are in the process of re-painting our home.  Our living room was this weird chocolate pink color that just didn't flow with the feel we wanted for the house.  In addition, it made the room appear darker especially since it already gets limited lighting.  So when the opportunity came forward for me to get some free paint and make something happen in there I jumped on it.  I will say that we had already purchased the lower level paint (HGTV) from Sherwin Williams but knew this would be an instant upgrade since the Aura paint is paint and primer all in one.
