Passionately Rivalicious review and giveaway!

I live in a town where the University of Georgia Bulldogs rule.  Every time there is a football game going on, I always see black and red everywhere!  There is car flags, t-shirts, hats, anything you can imagine with UGA on it.  My biggest pet peeve is that the clothing and accessories always geared towards men.

When I had a chance to review Passionately Rivalicious, I explored all the different things they had in UGA theme.  I was thrilled to discover they had stuff for babies, kids and women! I loved the dresses and the hair bows for a little girl.  They also had a bunch of cute accessories and house items.  

They have all sorts of teams listed, over 25 of them!

The prices were reasonable and affordable.

This website is a family own business based in Texas.  Here is what they had to say about

Pine Bros Throat Drops Review and Giveaway!

In 1870, J. Herman Pine hung out a confectionery shingle on 8th Street above Walnut in Philadelphia and along with his brother, sold their first batch of what they called "Pine Brothers Glvcerine Tablets" In an attempt to relieve his own sore throat and those of his family members.  Mr. Pine, a former German confectionery marker, determined that by combining the soothing natural qualities of glyverin with the healing properties of gum acacia.  He could sooth and mitigate the mild discomfort of a sore throat.  Add in some natural flavoring and a sweetener and voila.  Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops were born.  "I have discovered something" Pine wrote.  "Which will give quick throat relief to thousands afflicted as I was." He added. "Perhaps I won't make much money out of this.  But I can make people happy, and that's more important than money."


Recently, Pine Brothers was acquired by the creator and former owner of Airborne.  Victoria Knight-McDowell.  For her new company 3 Sisters Home Products.  Much time and effort has been spent locating the original Pine Brothers recipes.  redesigning the packaging, and creating an exciting yet classic new look.  The natural product is once again being made in America, and is launching nationally in fall 2011.

I recently was able to try the Natural Honey and Wild Cherry Flavors.  I remember having these when I was a young child in the 80's.  I do not like cough drops or sore throat drops. The medicine in them is overpowering.  When I tried the Pine Bros Throat Drops, I was thrilled that it didn't have an overpowering medicine taste to it.  It worked great on my sore and itchy throat! They were softish and Chewy.  It was hard for about 10 minutes and then it started to become a gummy like texture which I could chew on.  I will definitely be purchasing these for years to come.

The little pucks are great for toting around your purse, car, diaper bag, etc.  These are safe to give to children over the age of 3.  The best part of the Pine Bros Throat Drops, they are only 5 calories each!!  not bad for someone watching their calorie intake.  You can purchase these at CVS or online.

I personally was sent a box of 24 pucks of Pine Bros Throat Drops.

Because I believe in this product, I want to give my readers some pucks to try for themselves!

I will have 2 winners.  Each winner will receive 8 pucks - 4 pucks of Wild Cherry and 4 pucks of Natural Honey.

Genie Silent Max Garage Door Opener @ baby loving mama

We bought our 1st home 5 years ago and it has a double garage but no garage door opener installed.  We just never had the extra funds to get one so that's why I'm hoping to win this!  

It would be awesome to use especially in the winter time with the frost and occasional snow Georgia gets. Having to go out in the cold to crank it to get it warmed sucks!  Its especially bad when its raining and your trying to juggle getting groceries in and carrying a 1 year old in the house without getting soaking wet.  Not fun!

Genie Max teamed up with baby loving mama to give away a free garage door opener!

Beethoven's Christmas Adventures @ thenotsoblog

My family has movie nights where each person gets to pick a movie each week.  We will turn off the lights, snuggle up on the couch/floor with pillows and blankets in our jammies with some popcorn and drinks.

We love being able to watch all kinds of movies - action, drama, comedy,  family, children's movies.

I know my kids would love to see the new Beethoven's Christmas Adventures movie.  I remember watching these movies when I was a kid.
