It's a Dog's Life #TallTailsAdventures Giveaway

Disclosure:  This sponsored review and giveaway is brought to you by Tall Tails via Niche Parent.  As always all opinions are 100% my own.

Our Mattie is 14 1/2 years old and we think she deserves to enjoy the little luxuries in life.  After all, she sure has given us a lot of joy through the years.

It didn't take long for a couple of our fur babies to want to try out their new accommodations.

Mattie's pretty sweet about sharing.  And with four cats around, she's also pretty outnumbered.

I chose the large size bed for Mattie because its generous size is perfect for sharing.  Plus I thought it would fit her wicker bed nicely, and make it all fresh and comfy.  The reversible design provides adjustable comfort.  You can choose the side that best suites temperature conditions for your pets comfort.

Tall Tails Velboa Classic Pet Bed comes in four different sizes, so one is sure to the be the right fit for your fur baby.  I love that this bed is so easy to travel with and clean.  The beds are formatted to fit in most crates and kennels. Made of soft hypo-allergenic polyester fill and luxurious fabrics, your family pet is sure to feel spoiled.

It also has two loops on one end for easy hanging when you want it out of the way or to hang after washing.  The beds are easy to keep clean. They're machine washable and dryable.

I love Mattie & Friends new Tall Tails bed almost as much as they do.  It feels so soft that I wish it were a blanket for me.  They might just better watch out or I'll be stealing it to make my own pillow.

Pamper your dog by spoiling them with a comfortable bed from Tall Tails.  You'll be completely satisfied with the great quality.  You can find out more about their beds, blankets, quilts, and towels on the Tall Tails website.  To keep up with all Tall Tails latest news and happenings, connect with them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Mom's Sinfully Sweet Giveaway from Swiss Colony

Disclosure:  Todays delicious post is sponsored by The Swiss Colony who provided a special treat to facilitate my review. As always all opinions are 100% my own.

Our final giveaway in our 2014 Mother's Day Gift Guide is something to get your taste buds watering.  Our sweet sponsor is The Swiss Colony.
I've never made it through a Mother's Day, whether I was the giver or the receiver, that I didn't enjoy something sweet.  I just can't image a Mother's Day without a little sugar in it. From people & in my food! hee-hee.  That's why I'm so pleased that Julie from Mamawj's Moment Away & I are able to offer you the chance to win a yummy treat from Swiss Colony for our grand finale.

One of my very favorite items from Swiss Colony are their Petits Fours.  I loved the one's that I reviewed back December.  You can read about that huge gift box here.  Let's just say it was delicious!!

Don't these look scrumptious?  I chose the Tropical Petits Fours box.  It was filled with Lemon Mist, Key Lime Pie and Coconut Petits Fours.

Each little cake is layered with fluffy butter cremes. Believe me you'll enjoy each cooling bite!  I wish I could share them with you now.  Oh' that's right I can, sort of.  You have the chance to enter and possibly win a box for yourself!

Look at what a pretty box they arrived in.  They were safely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.  I can't say enough about how delicious these are.  Something about this little cakes always makes me feel like a Princess, okay maybe a Queen at my age.  Even the name is so special...Petits Fours (I say with a smile).

Flowers Delivered by The Bouqs - #MothersDay

Disclosure:  Todays beautiful post is sponsored by The Bouqs who provided flowers to facilitate my review. As always all opinions are 100% my own.

Woop-Woop, here it is, day 6 of our Mother's Day Gift Guide. Where did the time go? Wow, it's been a busy week.  Maybe we can make it better with flowers from The Bouqs!

BTW - How many of the giveaways in our gift guide have you entered? You should be saying 5 right now and working on your 6th.  Even more if you entered over at Mamawj's Moment Away too!

Today we're talking about one of my favorite things - FLOWERS!  Everyone who knows me, knows that there are few things I love more than flowers and furry animals but we'll save the fur babies for another day.

I can grow flowers all year long, but cutting them for myself and having some delivered fresh to my door are two different things.  Having flowers sent to you, just makes you feel special, more beautiful, more loved and happy in general. Have you ever seen anyone get flowers and have a frown on their face?  I don't think so.

When the folks at The Bouqs offered to send flowers for me to review I was happy to say yes.  I'd heard about The Bouqs Co. before, the name wasn't new to me.  As a matter of fact the founder of The Bouqs, John Tabis was on The Shark Tank tonight!

What makes The Bouqs different?

The Bouqs works by sending flowers directly from partner farms in Ecuador directly to shoppers in the United States without the involvement of a middleman.  They only cut what they sell.  What does that mean for you?

1. Faster shipments
2. Fresher Flowers
3. Better prices!!!  

They uniquely have a flat rate price.  That means you don't pay shipping or any special handling charges. It's a simple concept that works with 3 pricing structures.

The Bouqs ordering process was the simple and easy.  I'd go as far as to say it's the simplest I've ever used.  My flowers are on their way so I can't show you my bouquet today but I'll be posting a picture and more of my thoughts as soon as they arrive.  Julie and I wanted to be sure to share this with all our readers on our Mother's Day Gift Guide.

If you'd like to order flowers you can visit The Bouqs website here: https://www.thebouqs.com/

Win It

Now's the chance for you to win your very own bouquet of The Bouqs flowers.  Julie & I will be choosing one winner between our blogs.  All you need to do is enter with the easy giveaway form below.

Once you enter be sure to head over to the Mother's Day Gift Guide Schedule and enter the other giveaways we've put up all week long.  But remember, we're not through yet! We have one more giveaway for tomorrow - how's something sweet sound?  hint-hint...

Sunshine & hugs y'all...

Consider how the wild flowers grow.  They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Kerusso Christian T-Shirt & Travel Mug Giveaway - #MothersDay

Disclosure:  The good people at Kerusso provided me with their products today to share with you.  As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Kerusso, the creator of Christian T-shirts for over 25 years, is our generous sponsor today.

It's hard to believe that we're already on Day 5 here at our 2014 Mother's Day Gift Guide.

Julie @ Mamawj's Moment Away is my co-hostess and we've been posting wonderful gift idea selections all week. We still have Saturday & Sundays exciting giveaways to announce! And each one of those items has one or even two giveaways for our readers.  So you'll want to click here so you can check them all out.  But if you just go to my page, then you're missing 1/2 the fun because Julie is reviewing a few different items with more chances for you win some lovely prizes.  Do I know my readers or what?  Y'all love winning goodies!

Moms everywhere from Australia to Florida are looking forward to having a day they can call all their own.  Mother's give every single day of the year, how can we possibly miss giving back to them on this one special day?  And that day is just around the corner on Sunday May 11th.

Mom's are everything but fuddy-duddy now.  And they don't need no fuddy-duddy stinkin' gift either.  So why not get them something fun like an uplifting T-shirt and a happy travel mug with a spirit quote.

Having positive messages surround me, like the ones on all of Kerusso's items, lift me up and keep what's important in the forefront of my mind.  Best of all and most importantly, it spreads the love of God without you ever having to say a word.  It's nice to think that someone looking at your T-shirt or other Kerusso item, would pause and reflect on the message of Jesus and the love that he has for all of us.  What a blessing it would be to make a difference in someone elses life!!

I can't think of a single time that something of major importance happened in my life, that I didn't turn immediately to my heavenly Father.  Whether it be for comfort from him or praise to him, he has always been the one constant in my life.  I'm so blessed and so are YOU!

To know more about this company you should know more about the man who started it. Read Vic's testimony and see what how God spent years leading a young self-professed 5th grade atheist to a becoming a believing Christian by the time he was 15. God is so gracious - so good.

Btw, have you heard about the new movie coming to theaters on Mother's Day weekend May 9th, called "Moms Night Out"?  This should be a fun movie for the whole family since it's rated PG and of course it would make a great mom's night out for you and your girlfriends too.

The movie centers around a Allyson, a stay at home mom with three kids.  As she deals with the daily and sometimes overwhelming chaos of her life she decides to put together a ladies night out.  Oh' what fun ensues, when the dad's have to manage on their own.  I can't wait to see this movie.  Even husbands are gonna love this one.  I love Trace Adkins and I've heard that provides the best performance in the movie.

You're probably wondering why, I'm even telling you about the movie when we're not giving away movie tickets.  Actually it's because the movie ties in with the T-shirt we are giving away.  Kerusso is proud to be the exclusive licensee of MOMS' NIGHT OUT apparel and Julie and I are so proud to be able to share their apparel with our readers.

In honor of Mother's Day, Kuresso is giving one lucky reader their choice of one of the two T-shirts and one of the 2 travel mugs below.  That's right you receive one of each. You'll be one hot mama on the go!!

Julie received the "Beautiful Mess""Come to Jesus just as you are Flip Flops and all" tumbler!!  I love them & I may have to order those two for myself.

I chose the "Full-Time Mom" T-shirt and the "This is the day the Lord has made" tumbler.

Aren't they all FUN!

But lucky you will get to make your own choices of these.

*Prize fulfillment may change according to availability.

But you don't have to wait to win our giveaway head over to kerusso.com now and checkout all the great items they sell for men, women and kids.  Kerusso is so much more than T-shirts, they sell accessories, purses, magnets, toys and more.

Time for a giveaway and you know the drill.  Just use this simple Giveaway Tools form below to enter for your chance to win.

Light 'n Go Bonfire Log Giveaway - Marshmallows and Good Times - #MothersDay

Disclosure:  The Essay Group provided me with the Light 'n Go Bonfire Log to share with you.  As always all opinions are 100% my own.

It's day 4 already in our Mother's Day Gift Guide.  Have you been following our giveaways everyday?  

Today's sponsored giveaway is from the Essay Group.  This should get you fired up about Mother's Day.  I couldn't resist!

I love bonfires - they're just so much fun.  I'm always telling Neil I want to roast some marshmallows, but it's just too much of a hassle to set it all up.   Thanks to the Light 'n Go Bonfire Log it just got a whole lot easier.

Light 'n Go is an all-natural pure kiln dried birch stump that's made to light with just one match.  No chemicals, it just starts with a paperboard starter. It can't get any easier than that.  No mess - no wait, it's just an instant good time.

One of my favorite features is the simple rope they've attached to the side, making the Light 'n Go log portable.  Grab it and go.

I have the best memories of my dad and I getting ready for marshmallow and weenie roasts.  We would have bonfires at the beach for the whole family or even birthdays parties with bonfires in the back yard.  Dad & I would head out to a wooded piece of property we owned, to gather palmetto stems to make roasting sticks.  These are the little moments that build the best memories.

We would cut as many palm fronds as we needed and then just cut the leaves off.  On one end we would shave it to a sharp point to put the goodies on.  That's it.  Palmettos are so easy to whittle down and only take a second.  They make the best sticks to use for roasting! The hard part was lighting the fire in those days. Boy, don't I wish we'd had the Light 'n Go back then.  There would have been a lot more of those fun times.

I'm not a s'mores kinda a girl.  I like my marshmallows simple. So last night that's just what Neil & I had, some good old fashion roasted marshmallows.  The only thing that could have made it better would have been having the grandkids here to enjoy it with us.  My son Ty would love this, because when the were living here a year ago, they always took logs out to the beach for bonfires.  That rope on the side makes it so easy and portable.

This may seem like an unusual Mother's Day gift but it's something I'd love to receive and I think so would a lot of other mothers.  Here's and idea for a great way to present it. Get a big galvanized tub, sit your Light n' Go log in the center and add a mixture of your favorite beverages around it.  Wrap up all the makings for some gourmet s'mores in a pretty cellophane wrapper or put them in a tin and add a bow. You're giving mom the best gift of all, a night of fun with her family!!

The Bonfire burns for more than 1.5 hours, while the Bonfire Jumbo goes for about 2.5 hours.  Both can be used indoors in a fireplace or outdoors in a fire pit or chiminea. You can sit the Bonfire on a few rocks or in sand with no worries.  You can even sit a pan on it to cook eggs if you're out camping. How cool is that?
*Never place the Bonfire on concrete or similar surface when burning as the heat will crack and pop the cement and burning embers may be dispersed.

You can purchase the Light 'n Go at your local Home Depot. Mine sells them for $10.98.  If you'd like to know more about the Essay Group, the Light 'n Go Bonfire Log and a whole array of other all natural-items you can visit their website here: http://essay-group.com/.
