Get Crackin' Football Party via Crowdtap #GetCrackinAmerica

I was chosen by +Crowdtap and Wonderful Pistachios to host a Get Crackin'  Super Bowl Football Party. I received a kit in the mail which contained a 16 oz. bag of Wonderful Pistachios, 13 sample bags of Wonderful Pistachios, a Wonderful Pistachio bowl, 13 Wonderful Pistachios stress balls and 10 sets of thunder sticks. It had been quite a while since I last had Pistachios so when they came in, me and my oldest son split one of the sample bags. They were so good and it was fun to teach my son how to eat them since he had never had them before. I decided I didn't just want to have a bowl of Pistachios sitting out at the party so looked up some recipes that included Pistachios. I decided on a couple of desserts. One was a Pistachio cake and the other was Pistachio white chocolate chip cookies. I also set out a big bowl of Pistachios full of the 16 oz. bag and put the sample bags in a little basket for the guests to enjoy. Everyone thought they were really nice Pistachios that were full of flavor. The kids that were there all really enjoyed playing football with the Pistachio shaped stress balls and of course enjoyed making tons of noise with the thunder sticks. During half time, we had a Pistachio shell spitting contest and the kids really thought that was cool. I decided to let all the kids take the stress balls and thunder sticks home with them and let their parents continue to enjoy all the noise they made! The only thing that went wrong during the party is that I dropped my camera in the punch bowl and it was ruined, so I wasn't able to get as many pics as I had wanted. Other than that, this was a wonderful party (no pun intended lol)

Taco Bell Sauces Big Game Party via Crowdtap #SauceSquad

I was chosen by +Crowdtap and Taco Bell to test out their new hot sauces that now come in bottles you can buy at the store instead of just little packets at the restaurant. I received one of each of the available sauces, mild, verde, hot and fire. I got my package early in the morning and wanted to try out the sauce right away so I put some of the hot sauce on my omelette that I had for breakfast and it was delicious. I had a Super Bowl party, and featured foods that were made with the sauces I was given. I made the Taco Bell Chunky Chicken Dip recipe that was included with the bottles using the fire sauce. I also made a Buffalo Chicken Pizza using the hot sauce. There was also a recipe for Taco Bell Zesty Guacamole Dip included, and I also made that. I had so much Guacamole that I decided to make Guacamole Deviled Eggs that I had saw online. We had hot wings that I battered and covered in the mild sauce. And of course, I couldn't have all these Taco Bell Sauces without providing some tacos. I sat out a taco buffet and my guests used the sauces to their liking. Everyone really enjoyed the food and were all happy to hear that the sauces were now available in bottles and were for sale at grocery stores. My family and I have really enjoyed the sauces. We used everything that was sent to me for the Super Bowl Party so I went out and bought 2 more bottles of each kind. We have been using them almost daily on many different meals. My husband and I both like to add hot sauce to almost everything so these have been a really nice addition to the others that we regularly use. I would recommend these to everyone b/c of the different heat levels and the verde salsa, you can make a huge variety of foods, or just put the sauce on or in something you're eating.

I just received my crock pot and $50 Visa GC from winning the ConAgra "Hungry For Football" instant win game and sweepstakes. I have this crock pot already and it's awesome, but this one has a football theme on the outside which will make it perfect for all my game day parties :)

Pampers Swaddlers Sampling via Crowdtap #PampersSwaddlersSofties

I was chosen for the Pampers Swaddlers sample and share through +Crowdtap. I received 2 coupons for any size Pampers Swaddlers. They now come in size 4 and 5 instead of stopping at 3. I decided to get the 4's since that would fit my son and most of the other children that are in my Moms Meet group. We had a meeting and there were 5 babies there, 4 of which were able to wear the size 4's and the other wore a size 3. I had some Swaddlers on hand already in size 3 so everyone was able to try it out the Swaddlers. The mothers all liked how soft they were and that they are very roomy and didn't restrict the babies skin or irritate it. The babies played for close to 3 hours and there weren't any leaks or accidents with the diapers. Nobody got a rash or any marks on their skin and the diapers held up really well even though the babies were being very active. It was also very easy to see when someone needed to be changed b/c of the wetness indicator strip. Several of the moms had used the Swaddlers in the past but had stopped once their babies grew out of the size 3 and they were glad to hear that they now came in sizes 4 and 5.
I really love that it has a wetness indicator strip going down the center of the diaper. It makes it really easy to tell if a baby needs to be changed. I have been using the Pampers Swaddlers ever since my first son was born and have always loved them. They are very absorbent, rarely leak, have the wetness indicator and don't leave marks on babies skin or cause rashes. I'm very excited that they now come in sizes 4 and 5 so I can use them on my youngest son who just moved up to a size 4.
