Gross Thursday 13

Umm, this week's Thursday Thirteen theme is 'gross.' Since I don't feel like doing a post about gross baby stuff (you know, poop and vomit), I will share with you 13 gift-of-the-month items. (Because, you know, there are 12 months... yeah, the connection to 'gross' is lame, but it's the best I can do with the theme)
  1. Fruit of the Month - Probably the most common club. It might give someone you love a chance to try a new or exotic fruit they would not have otherwise purchased.
  2. Cheese of the Month - Since cheese goes good with everything this club would be great. Just don't send it to your Aunt Goosey who is lactose-intolerant.
  3. Chocolate of the Month - Show me someone who wouldn't like this and I'll show you a crazy person!
  4. Coffee of the Month - Great idea for someone who likes to mix it up and is a real coffee connoisseur. (Not me, but maybe my dad)
  5. Flower of the Month - Brighten some one's home year-round with a fresh bouquet of flowers.
  6. Perfume of the Month - If they don't want to look at flowers, maybe they could smell like one?
  7. Tie of the Month - I don't know. This is probably the most bizarre club in my opinion.
  8. Candle of the Month - Seems awfully expensive. Just ship them a Yankee Candle gift card. Better yet, send me the gift card and I'll, um, be sure, to um, pass it along. Yeah.
  9. Teddy Bear of the Month - Perfect choice for someone who can't get enough snuggly-love.
  10. Movie of the Month - Not a bad idea at all. Of course, sending someone 12 movie tickets might be easier. Then they would get to pick the movies they want to see.
  11. Steak of the Month - You can send this one to me, so long as someone agrees to cook it up like P-dub!
  12. Cookie of the Month - If you are going to share this one with our family, give me plenty of notice. I will need to cut the gas budget to buy more milk. Everyone knows you need milk to go with your cookies.
  13. Pizza of the Month - because everyone needs to try a Shrimp Teriyaki pizza at least once in their life!

Check out other gross lists at Thursday Thirteen. By the way, this is my 8th edition of T13.

    I know I would love the cheese of the month club. I think I would like the chocolate one except on the months they send dark chocolate. Pizza of the month would be good. Do you notice my theme here?

    Great list!

    I love the idea of monthly gifts. I agree with toni...pizza of the month sounds good.

    I LOVE your pink motorcycle! I have a pink scooter and dream of the day that I can buy a motorcyle and I would LOVE FOR IT TO BE PINK. You are my hero.

    I've heard of taco pizza. Glad to know there's also a Japanese Teriyaki pizza out there, too!

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
