Saturday Giveaway Link-Ups

May 18, 2013 By · No Comments

It has been a slow week, but the countdown for summer has begun. The kids only have 10 days of actual school left and the two in elementary school both have performances during the last week, one of which is several hours long. Think they’d mind if I slipped out for a few hours after I watch both get their awards and do their performance? I know that isn’t proper etiquette but I’m not so sure Nicoli is going to sit through 3 hours.

What Maisie Knew Giveaway

May 15, 2013 By · 9 Comments

On May 17th Los Angeles will be able to view “What Maisie Knew” Starring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgard, Steve Coogan, and introducing Onata Aprile as “Maisie.” Hopefully the expansion will go throughout the United States because after watching the preview I know I want to watch it, even if it looks like it’ll be tearful. From what I got out of it this is a bitter custody battle and the view points of the little girl and how she felt towards it, plus how she takes to new parents and what happens when there is a split. But check out the press release for it first. We all know just how bad divorce can get but seeing it through this viewpoint should be a whole other perspective.

whatmaisieknew

A contemporary reimagining of Henry James’ novel, WHAT MAISIE KNEW tells the story of a captivating little girl’s struggle for grace in the midst of her parents’ bitter custody battle. Told through the eyes of the title’s heroine, Maisie navigates this ever-widening turmoil with a six-year-old’s innocence, charm and generosity of spirit.

An aging rock star (Moore) and a contemporary art dealer (Coogan)—Susanna and Beale are too self-involved even to notice their neglect and inadequacy as parents; their fight for Maisie is just another battle in an epic war of personalities. As they raise the stakes by taking on inappropriate new partners, the ex-nanny Margo and the much younger bartender Lincoln (Vanderham and Skarsgård), the shuffling of Maisie from household to household becomes more and more callous, the consequences more and more troubling. Always watchful, however, Maisie begins to understand that the path through this morass of adult childishness and selfish blindness will have to be of her own making.

Directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, written by Carroll Cartwright and Nancy Doyne, and from the producers of The Kids Are All Right, WHAT MAISIE KNEW is a heartbreaking but redemptive story of family, self-sacrifice, and the indelibility of one child’s love, starring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgård, Steve Coogan and Joanna Vanderham, introducing Onata Aprile as “Maisie.”

Sodastream Giveaway

April 25, 2013 By · No Comments

Over a MamaBreak she is doing a Sodastream Review & Giveaway. We tried one last year and the kids have been using it nonstop ever since, I love the fact you can go into Mejier’s or Walmart to purchase the Soda Stream flavors and most of the time we’ve went there they’ve been on sale. The kids really seem to like the aids the best or the soda flavored ones. I like the fact it isn’t real soda and more like a seltzer. Course I think their favorite part is the fact they can make it themselves and the bubbles.

Indianapolis, IN  Promising an evening of inspiration that will forever motivate and change lives, America’s health and wellness guru Jillian Michaels is set to launch her first ever “Maximize Your Life” tour this spring.

In this intimate and uniquely personal experience, Jillian shows how to harness your potential, kick-start your goals and live an exceptional life – sharing her keys to health, success and happiness. No hype, no false promises: just results.

“Your health is the platform that your entire life is built upon – from your physical health to your confidence and self-worth, I will give you the skillset, tools and insights to transform any aspect of your life immediately so you realize your true potential, and create the future you’ve dreamed of and deserve,” exclaims Jillian.

Imagine. Believe. Achieve. These three words lay at the core of Jillian’s message. In a riveting, two-hour show, Jillian will awaken you to reignite your passion, define your goals and live in your authentic truth. She will teach you how to redefine your self-image, dramatically enhance your confidence and self-worth and blast through all internal and external obstacles.

Finally, Jillian will supply the information and action plan that will empower you to conquer any challenge and achieve every goal. You will learn the science of shedding pounds, the impact of hormones on weight loss and how to bring them back into balance. She demonstrates the how, what and why of workouts, sharing her most effective methods of burning fat and calories. And most importantly, she will teach you how to shift your attitude, behavior, and mindset to maximize your life.

Inspiring and motivating initially thru television, Jillian Michaels has become the world’s leading health and wellness expert. She has appeared on 11 seasons of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser;” seen in more than 90 countries around the world. As a motivator and role model, Jillian has made a unique connection with her audience, one that stems from her own personal journey.

Before becoming a media sensation, she struggled with her own weight as a teenager. With her empowering information and tools, she now motivates millions through multiple media platforms. Jillian is a New York Times best-selling author, having sold more than 3.5 million books worldwide, including such titles as “Master Your Metabolism” and “Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life.” Her newest book “Slim for Life: My Insider Secrets to Simple, Fast, and Lasting Weight Loss” has just been released. In addition, Jillian’s DVDs are global bestsellers.

Through extensive charity work, Jillian serves as an ambassador for Stand Up 2 Cancer and the NFL’s Play 60. She also works with military families through the USO, and is a champion of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a program dedicated to eradicating the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States. In addition, Jillian is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, working to protect the rights and welfare of children.

Jillian’s call to action: “It’s time to ask why not you? When are you going to say ‘Enough is enough,’ and step into the limitless possibility for joy and abundance that your life does hold? If you are a person who feels your health could improve or there is any facet of your life where you feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled, the question is how can you not come to the show?” says Jillian.
