Where is the linky???


You can pretty much count on me to not be around on the blog for the rest of the year. In fact, it may be for the next month or so. Here is what's up....

BIG MOVE:
My husband got a great job opportunity last minute which required us to move out of state. This was just a little over a month ago. Since, our lives have been incredible crazy. Not only have we had the Christmas season to worry about but also, putting our house up for sale (Which we actually sold), Selling a car, dejunking our home, finding a temporary place to live while we have no clue about the area, finding a new school..... Basically the list could go on and on. My husband has had to be out of town 3 weeks in the last month which has left me to do a lot of the list on my own. Then there was the 2010 Christmas guide. I just couldn't let my readers and down so let's just say "Major Overload"!

We our officially moving the end of this month (shortly after Christmas) and for the first of the year (2011) we are going to be going through allot of transitioning. New schools and searching for a more permanent place to live while we live a temporary hotel. Oh yes, we have decided to make this a full on adventure and live in a one bedroom suite for the first month. We had an apartment selected, but last minute we decided with our furniture and everything being able to be stored (on the company) for a month, that we should just take a month to get familiar with areas and see if we can't find a home right away or come up with a more clear decision on what would be best for us during this time. It has been extremely hard for us to think through everything with all that's going on.

So for now and the next month or so, I will not be around much on "Catch the Drift...". I will have internet access so there is always a chance I may make a post our two, but I will not have the time to search for great deals and reviews until we get more settled.

Until my life gets back into order I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

REVIEW: Hickory Farms



One thing I remember about the holidays while growing up is that my dad would always bring home a Hickory Farm Sausage. He would stop by the local mall and there would always be a Hickory Farms stand opened up through the holiday season. It has been years since I have had any of Hickory Farms products. I was excited when I received The Beef and Turkey Hearty Hickory Gift Box. As soon as I opened the package so many memories of past Christmases came to mind. I was also interested to see is the taste was as good as I remembered.

Both my husband and I thought the taste of the sausages were fantastic. I was even more surprised how great the Turkey Summer Sausage tasted. It was all of my family's favorite. I will defiantly be purchasing another one of these during the holidays.

The Hickory Farms Gift Boxes make an excellent gift. There are plenty of options and prices to choose from. Hickory Farms sausages and cheese also makes a great appetizer or finger food before feasting on your holiday meal.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Hickory Farms and received a signature gift box from Hickory Farms to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

24 Photo Cards only $2.49 SHIPPED!!!!

I love when all of those great deals come out this time of year, especially the one for Photo Christmas Cards! Here is one I just learned about.

Seehere.com Login or sign up for an account, Create your 4x8 Flat Photo Card, put 24 of the cards in your shopping cart, put in the Promotional Code: 25cards and this will deduct the price of the cards/envelopes to $0. All you will have to pay for is shipping which will be only $2.49

Sounds like a deal to me!

Review: Hasbro Action Figure Toys

As many of my readers know, my family and I are Hasbro fans. We love their toys and fill our game closet with Hasbro games. With Thanksgiving on our minds I also know that many of us also have Black Friday on our minds as well. This is the biggest day for Christmas Shopping.

As a mother of a 5 year old boy, I know that superhero figurines make an excellent gift. My son loves superheros. Hasbro has some great new Super Figurines that many little boys will enjoy. If you want to give Santa Clause a hand, you may want to get some of these in advance for him to add to your childs Christmas stocking! Some affordable and excellent choice of these are as follows.

SPIDER-MAN 3 3/4 INCH ACTION FIGURES
With this lineup of SPIDER-MAN 3 3/4 INCH ACTION FIGURES, the beloved and legendary superhero is ready to take on his opponents in any situation. From sea to sky to night missions, he is well-equipped for any and all new adventures!



TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS 2-PACK
This boy’s toy will let your son feel like he’s part of the wildly popular Transformers story! This 2-pack includes one Scout scale Transformers figure, which features both a robot and vehicle mode, and one Mini-Con scale figure with four modes – robot, robot weapon, vehicle weapon and Power-up Armor. At only $9.99, this affordable combo will make both mother and son happy.



Of course my son loves both of these and can be entertained for hours playing with them. With these newer versions of these toys, your child, like mine will be excited to see what these new toys have to offer.

BUY IT:
Not only can you find these great toys at several stores this year but for an easier way to find what you are looking for you can buy both of these toys online at Hasbro.com and on Amazon.com.

Kidorable Winner!!!

Congrats #143 Andrea

(CLOSED) REVIEW and Giveaway: Sanuk Sandals & Flip Flops



Sanuk Review:

Sanuk Beach Sandals & Flip Flops have really began to grow as a brand. My husband and I started hearing a lot about Sanuk and honestly, at first my husband was not a fan. My husband had never owned or even tried on a pair of these shoes, but he just couldn’t understand what the fuss was over a pair of shoes. He didn’t want to follow the crowds so he was not about to get a pair of these shoes for himself.

Sure enough a great opportunity came where I would have the opportunity to review a pair of Sanuk Sandals. I was shocked when my husband asked if he could review them. Although he played it down, I could tell he really wanted a pair of his own. All that talk on the comfort they offered really got to him.

Who Got the Last Laugh:
Who got the last laugh? I did of course. Sanuk Beach Sandals are by far my husbands favorite shoes. He has mentioned more then once how comfortable they are. He has even gone as far as to say “These are the MOST comfortable shoes I have ever owned”. Basically everything we heard about the shoes before owning our own pair was true.

Buy Sanuk Beach Sandals & Flip Flops:
Sanuk carries several styles and colors of shoes for both men and women. Even your kids can enjoy comfort with these incredible shoes. Sanuk Shoes make the perfect Beach Shoes so don't leave for the beach without them!

Giveaway:
One winner will win their choice of shoes from Sanuk!!!

To Enter:
You MUST visit Sanuk and find the pair of shoes you would like to own. Come back to this link and tell me in a comment which shoe style you are dreaming to wear on your feet!!!

(CLOSED)Christmas Gift Guide Review & Giveaway: Savvycents Wallet




Lets mix things up today. Many of my readers are women some who may or may not have children. Regardless of who you are or where you are in your life, I am sure most (if not, all) of us realize the importance of saving. Especially after an expensive holiday season, you may be looking into your accounts wondering how all of your money disappeared so quickly.

A few years back my husband and I decided we needed to save more money. This was not only for us but our childrens future. We were fine paying all the bills, but we were spending way too much out of our paychecks. So much in life is unknown especially in this kind of economy. With so much instability we knew we had to be prepared in case of a job loss, family or financial emergency. Then there is our children's future. School isn't getting any cheaper and there may be a time where they may need our help. With all of this on our mind we wanted to find the best way possible to save and not over spend.

The answer for us was the cash budget. For my husband and I this has worked out wonderfully. Within a year we had our emergency fund built up, an account growing for our children and their future, money going towards retirement and more. The change wasn't easy but has been well worth it. It took time to figure out how much cash should go towards each fund. We had Entertainment, Kids, Personal, Gifts, Groceries and Gas. From there we needed to figure out the best way possible to carry all of the cash. Envelopes fell apart too easily and so I found a small file. Even the small file got frusterating since I wasn't able to carry all of my change, credit cards (Yes they are their for emergencies), license and other important belongings as well. I wanted to find the perfect wallet to carry all I needed and in an organize way.

I was so excited when I heard of Savvycents. This wallet has been a life saver in so many ways. Not only has it helped me keep everything organized, but I don't have to carry as much in my purse and it is very stylish. I am amazed at how much this wallet can carry. There are several pockets. 6 pockets for debit cards and store discount cards. On the opposite side there is a place for your driver’s license and a place for your checkbook. Also included with the wallet are pre-made labels for each category as well as blank labels for categories you wish to add.

For those frugal women such as myself I highly recommend a Savvycents Wallets. What adds to it's purpose is it is also fashionable. This would make such a great and unique gift for BFF's, In-laws, mothers, grandmothers and more. This is one gift the receiver will actually gain money from having (if used for it's real purpose)!

One lucky winner will receive their choice of a Black or Pink Savvycents Wallet!

This product was donated for the purpose of a review. Even though I was given this product free, my review is my own honest opinion.

(CLOSED) Review & Giveaway: Moon Dough

What is Moon Dough? Moon Dough is an out-of-this-world new molding dough that never dries out! Moon Dough is also Hypo-allergenic and wheat-free, soft and marshmallow-like. Moon Dough does not stick to or stain material. Because Moon Dough never dries out, kids can use it again and again. Moon Dough is the latest and greatest new molding compound for kids to sculpt into fun creations they will love to play with.



Review:
At my home, we are huge play-doh fans. Because of this we really haven't been in that big of a hurry to try anything else. However, I had heard of the latest, Moon Dough. When I was contacted about doing a Moon Dough review I knew my children would enjoy it because of it's creative nature. I personally was interested to see for myself what made this dough so unique.

We were sent the Moon Dough Barnyard kit. Just as I thought, my children both loved Moon Dough. The Barnyard kit really showed off its molding skills. The dough was extremely light and molds very well when using the molds included. Unlike play-doe Moon Dough does not stick in the moldings where you have to dig it out. This was a plus and left my children less frustrated.

The biggest plus for me was that the Moon Dough really doesn't dry out! We go through so much play-doe and having to constantly replace it can get annoying and costly. I also thought the Barnyard kit was awesome. It worked exactly how it is shown on the video. However, what isn't shown is the mess. Yes, it is quite messy and crumbles easily. After my children played with the kit I was not looking forward to the cleanup. I was surprised at how easy the cleanup really was. Since Moon Dough is not sticky at all like play-doh, the Moon Dough remains were easily wiped off the table and swept up. Even the small amount that my children managed to get on our living room carpet was picket up by the vacuum no problem (They even smooshed it on the carpet pretty good).

Giveaway:
One lucky winner will win the Moon Dough Barnyard Kit
