House Party!!

HOUSEPARTY.COM

Houseparty.com is a website that promotes products by offering its members the opportunity to host a "buzz" party. The host will invite friends and family to the party to introduce the new product. I hosted the Orville Redenbacher and Lipstick Jungle's "Girls night in" party in August of last year. Houseparty.com sent tons of popcorn, tons of makeup, Lipstick Jungle's season premiere dvd and book, and lots of other free products. The girls enjoyed tasting the new flavors of popcorn, my favorite was the black pepper and butter. And the kids enjoyed putting the flavor salts on the plain popcorn. We all enjoyed de-flowering the bar in my new house, fun for all. At the end of the night we raffled off some gift baskets.


Yesterday I was selected as a host for the South Beach house party. I will be hosting it on the 14th of March at 5 o'clock. This party will be promoting their new line of products. I expect house party will hook us up with some cool door prizes and great goodie bags. If you are looking for some healthy lifestyle choices, don't miss this party.

Here are a few pics of the Girls Night In house party:

Something for the teachers to joke about- ME!!!

Friday is going to be a very busy day for us! Gavin, my youngest son is going to be awarded the Star Student award. I am very proud of his accomplishment. And my oldest son, Vinnie is going to have a part in his school's morning program they do every Friday. I am super proud that he volunteered to do this because he has stage fright, just like I do. Of course he brings this up at almost 9:00pm on Thursday night, because he needs a tie. OH GREAT! So I ask to see any paperwork that he has brought home that may clarify what exactly he needs. And it says that he will

"be

participating in a short skit tomorrow at GMT to promote Read Across

America week. He will need to wear a tie and be prepared to tell the name of

one of their parent's favorite books."

So I asked Vinnie what book he was going to say was my favorite, I bet you can guess what he said. I can just see it now, my child standing on the stage in front of 800 kids and ALL those teachers, and ALL those parents, he will say mom's favorite is HOP ON POP! And he wont be lying, my favorite IS hop on pop. ;)

Gavin's Birthday Party

On Sat. we celebrated Gavin's 6th birthday at Perfect Swing. The kids played games while they waited for pizza. After the pizza arrived the kids barely ate, they were so excited to get back to the games. Gavin, Lauren and Abby played in the Kids Climb It for a long time. They chased each other around, jumped in the ball pits and helped each other climb to the highest area. Vinnie decided he was too big for the climbing thing, so he played arcade games while the other kids climbed. Then it was time for cake, and what a cute cake it was! The cake was chocolate, with a monster truck smashing two cars under it. Gavin was very excited about his presents! He got some really cool stuff. After the presents, the kids ran off to play more games. The kids and I were playing a game when some teenage boys came up to us and offered the kids their tickets. They had tons of tickets! I told them thanks and that it was Gavin's birthday, they came back a little while later and gave us more! The kids told them thanks, and then they cashed them in they ended up with 1400 tickets! They split the tickets so each kid got a toy. The girls both got cups with straws and sun glasses, the boys both got guns that shoot out ping pong balls. As fun as the ping pong guns sounded, they were not the best idea. They have both been banished to the garage, because ping pong balls feel worse than I thought they would. I think the kids had a good time, and I hope the grown ups did too. It would have been more fun for the grown ups if the go carts and the bumper boats were operational.
