Crowdtap + Old Navy Dresses!!

I was super pumped to be chosen by Old Navy's Style Council to try out ON's fall dress line!  My mom, sister, kids and I all headed to the mall, picked out some CUTE styles, and headed to the dressing room.

Even my 6 year old daughter got in on the dressing room fun.

She's my little model :)

I mostly stuck to trying on the sweater dresses.  The white one was cute, but not on me :)"
This style but in white.
I LOVE the gray and black striped one.  This one came home with me.  So comfy!

  

I also tried on this cross-front jersey black dress.  It was super cute, but I needed a size larger, which they didn't have.
I'm also wearing a black scarf in the picture.

My experience was wonderful.  The staff was helpful, and very interested in finding out where our awesome coupons came from!  We had an easy time finding styles we liked and mostly in the sizes we needed.  The dressing rooms were clean, the store organized.  No issues what-so-ever!

Some of the colors were a little funky for my taste, but I love the black and gray stripes, and pink and brown striped sweater dresses.

Great quality, fabric is comfortable, not scratchy at all.  Held up well being washed on cold and dried on low.

I did not buy additional items to wear with the dress, but did walk out with some clearance items in my shopping bag :)

I can't wait to buy more!  Most likely online though, since our mall is kind of far away.

Thank you, Crowdtap and Old Navy for allowing me the chance to sample your items!!

Hotel Transylvania Party! #Crowdtap

This afternoon my kids, nieces, mom, sister and I had some fun with Hotel Transylvania! We colored sheets from the digital party kit, watched clips on YouTube, and made plans to see it in the theater next weekend (this weekend is so busy with Halloween events)! Super excited to see it on the big screen.


These masks were so funny (and creepy!)

Eeeep!  Those eyes!  :o

Good ol' YouTube!

Coloring!

So serious :)

Ta-da! 

after our party we headed to Walmart for some shopping.. and found a HotelT coloring book.  Super fun!!

Here's a little video :)

The kids really enjoyed our little party and we all are SO super excited to see the movie in the theater (Marcus South Shore in Oak Creek, WI!) next Saturday, with a big bucket of popcorn and a Pepsi!!

Thanks Crowdtap and HotelT for the fun!

Totally Biased Premiere Party ~ Crowdtap

There's a new comedy show on FX ~ Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell!

We got together to watch the premiere + some extra fun videos of W. Kamau Bell skits on youtube!
((check out http://ctap.it/TotallyBiased for a sneak peek! LOVE the Alien vs. Predator metaphor))
AND you can view full episodes online too!!

 My favorite part of this episode was when W. Kamau Bell was explaining the difference between
Sheikh vs. Sikh ::             Sheikh , Sikh, Muslim, Geek, etc lol..




Enjoying the show ::




Another favorite part, what can you put in your pocket to make a frisking less comfortable for a cop, and more fun your yourself?  Hot pocket, hot fudge, sprinkles?  hahaha!  How about a magic scarf!




We love closed captioning in our homes.  Mom was having her hearing aides repaired, so we definitely needed it turned on for the viewing!







Group photo!  We had a fun fun night watching and laughing together!


What are you waiting for?  Head over to FX on your TV and schedule your recordings - or at FX online!!

Thanks Crowdtap for the family time and laughs :)

Crowdtap ~ a Sample Share party with Woolite Extra Dark Care

First, thank you CT for keeping us all up to date on the shipping status. I did receive my Woolite samples in July and was excited to share the sample & coupon love!



I kept one to try on my husband's work clothes (dark blue top with black pants).  My sister wears almost all dark clothes so she was happy to try it out as well.  The rest were split up between my mom, in laws, and friends!



Here's my sister and I posing with our Woolite :)

 

Please ignore the nasty washing machine. I did scrub it after this photo!!

The results were pretty amazing.  The husband's dark clothing somehow seemed darker.  I am definitely intrigued and will be using the $1 coupon included with the sample as soon as the Woolite Extra Dark Care is on sale at the grocery store that doubles coupons :)  (I try not to buy anything without sale+coup!).  I'm sure Woolite will pay for itself in the long run though, if it keeps us from needing to buy new work attire - federal uniforms can get pricey!



Happy samplers.

Thanks again Woolite and Crowdtap!  You have a new customer for sure!

Crowdtap / Madagascar party!

We were invited to participate in a super fun Madagascar Party with Crowdtap to celebrate the new Madagascar movie coming out in theaters! I noticed that McDonald's had Madagascar 3 toys in their Happy Meals, so I figured the kids would super enjoy having a little party at the McD Playplace! They had a blast playing with the Mad Wig Out App on the iPad, and playing with their Melman giraffe toy. 

 After eating, playing, ice cream dessert and more playing, we headed home to watch Madagascar 2 in our living room before heading to bed. My daughter, 5.5 years old, is still enjoying the connect the dots and maze print outs. A fun, fun day! 

 Thanks Crowdtap!

I headed to Old Navy with my mom, sister and 1 year old niece. It was nice to get out with only one kid, many thanks to my husband for giving me some "me time"!

We all grabbed various styles to try on (and a few dresses) and headed for the dressing room. My mom didn't find a style that she liked, which worked out since there was only one other coupon to use :) I thought the styles and selection were wonderful, most had stock in my size which was very nice. I would like to see more one pieces available, but loved all the patterns and colors this season!

My sister ended up choosing a solid gray one piece that has one shoulder strap. It is very cute on her! I cannot find it on the ON website though to link to it.

I chose this pretty blue Madagascar print one piece http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=52005&vid=1&pid=118447&scid=118447002 .
I felt like the straps kept falling down, so I criss crossed them on my back and it has worked wonderfully! I love how it fits, I feel thinner in it, my boobs stay put, and it covers well. I'm very happy with it!!

Zero problems at checkout and we each left with a bag of goodies (my mom bought some dresses!) and headed to the mall's food court for some bourbon chicken :)

Many thanks to Old Navy and CrowdTap for another wonderful Sample&Share opportunity!! :D
