THREE60 GEAR SHIRT review and giveaway - Father's Day Gift Idea #2

I am a huge sports junkie which I am sure I became this way thanks to my grandma and dad.  My grandma loved all sports except for maybe golf (I don't remember us watching too much of it).  I mean at one point in my childhood I could list at least one player in every sport especially basketball.  Now my dad never really cared for basketball (I inherited that passion obviously from my grandma) but oh how he loved NASCAR.  He also likes football and baseball.

Recently I heard about THREE60 GEAR apparel which is sports apparel that features real pictures that are placed on to fabric.

Now they currently have a small selection of players from the NBA and Mlb available (NHL is coming soon).  .  (I hope they continue to grow it and put some college basketball on the shirts.  I would definitely grab up a Tar Heel shirt.)  When they told me I could pick one shirt to review, I of course headed to the basketball section.  I was torn between two shirts.  The first was Kobe Bryant (I have been a Laker girl since Magic and Karem) and the second was Lebron James (I have liked him since the days of the Cavs even if I don't like how he left them).  I pondered on this for days and finally decided on Lebron as my first pick.


The graphics on this shirt are amazing.  I was so impressed by the shirt.  I mean I fell in love with it immediately  I also loved how light the fabric.  Here is a little more info onhow the shirt is made and all.

Your one of a kind Three60 Gear™ original has been created by hand using vivid action photos.  The performance fabric has wicking and anti-microbial properties and is dye sublimated resulting in white areas near seams, creases or folds.  These are marks of the authentic handcrafted process. Search the serial number on each product to learn the details of every image.


It is so obvious that these shirts are high quality.  I also like the fact that they come with a patch inside the shirt that tells you were the pictures on the shirt came from.  You can go online here and enter the serial number and get more info on the pictures.  It does not get any better than this.  This has quickly became a game shirt for me.  This shirt would be perfect for the sports fanatic dad in your life or that special guy who loves sports.  They have child and adult sizes available in certain shirts.  Now the shirts start at $54.99 each.  And I am here to tell you they are worth the price for any die hard fan.

Now I have some great news, THREE60 GEAR has offered me the chance to offer one lucky reader a THREE60 GEAR shirt of their choosing.

CHILI'S TRIPLE DIPPER - ALL GOOD THINGS COME IN 3S - review and $ 20 gift card giveaway


Now I am a huge fan of Chili's.  It is were my best gal pals and I used to go for our girls night out events (which are long overdue).  So needless to say I jumped at the opportunity to work with Chili's and 2Wired2Tired to review their NEW Triple Dipper promotion.  A Triple Dipper is were you get to choose 3 appetizers and you get 3 different sauces with them.  How can it get any better than that?  This is the perfect thing if you have a family like mine were everyone always wants something different.

Now you have the following option on the Triple Dipper...


  • Loaded Potato Skins
  • Memphis BBQ Skins
  • Honey-Chipotle Shrimp
  • Big Mouth Bites
  • Boneless Buffalo Wings
  • Southwestern Eggrolls
  • Chicken Crispers
  • Wings Over Buffalo
  • Fried Cheese
  • Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Now I had a discussion with my family about the ultimate choice of 3 on a plate and of course none of us really agreed.  I have to have pickles are the world is not a happy place so they are definitely on my plate.  I would also need nachos and the third one I struggled with and still not 100% about.  But I think it would be chicken tenders.  My son said that tacos would definitely be on there for one.  Everyone else in the family kept changing their answers (It was a long convo LOL)

But for the Triple Dipper since pickles were out I of course chose the Chicken Crispers, Loaded Potato Skins, and Fried Cheese.  Every single bit of it was delicious.  My family had the Triple Dipper gone in seconds.  I will definitely be taking the family back again to try another 3 combination soon.

Now currently Chili's is hosting a promotion called shout out to eat out where each day a lucky winner who uploads a picture to one of their cute cutouts can win a $20 GC to Chili's and also there will be 3 grand prizes for $333 GC to them.  


So click the picture above and upload your photo and you are all set.  It is that easy.  

* I received a $20 gift card to Chili's for the sole purpose to review the Triple Dipper.  The above opinions is completely honest and completely my own.

Now for some good news I was fortunate to get to offer one lucky reader the opportunity to win a $20 GC to Chili's.

NASCAR the game 2011 for the Wii review - FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEA #1

GENTLEMEN, (AND LADIES) START YOUR ENGINES!!!!

Just released and perfect timing for Father's Day is NASCAR the game 2011 for the Wii.


Product Description

NASCAR The Game 2011 has been built from the ground up to make a thoroughly new experience. The development team started by speaking with the people who know NASCAR best - the fans - and took that insight to the teams, drivers and officials to completely embrace what makes NASCAR America's #1 motorsport. Players can choose to play as themselves or as one of the sport's real-world drivers as they battle it out for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship. Each pro driver has the AI characteristics of his or her real world counterpart, setting the stage for intense rivalries played out on the track. Damage is meticulously detailed and multi-car wrecks are the most extreme ever experienced in an officially licensed racing game. From the 22 real world tracks to full pit stop strategy action, NASCAR The Game 2011 captures the real atmosphere, sense of speed and spectacle that embodies NASCAR. Players can even feel the thrill of a win with the interactive celebration mode. The game also includes in-depth multiplayer modes which allow up to 16 players to battle it out for the win online. In both online and offline races, players earn NASCAR experience points which help unlock rewards such as decal packs or special car designs, as well as career sponsorships and special races throughout career mode. Everything you do on the track counts! With a fresh infusion of real world detail and blistering racing action, NASCAR The Game 2011 completely redefines what fans can expect from a NASCAR racing game.

This is a fun racing game for those who just want to practice game racing.  I loved the options with this game.  I grew up with NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt (really wish he was alive to be portrayed in this game) and I have even attended one of the races in Atlanta and this game brings it all to you.  I am not a big racing game fan but I love this game and my little girls did too.  It is a little tricky at first with the steering but if you practice it gets easier.  The graphics are not the worst but I have seen better.  Yet I still enjoyed it and so did  my family. I recommend this game for a Father's Day gift that he can share with the whole family.  

The game can be purchased at mass retailers who sell Wii games and online at Amazon.com

Welch's grape juice review and giveaway



Welch's grape juice has been a long time favorite of mine and my family.  My daughters prefer the white grape while I love the regular grape juice.  I have recently been trying to eat better and Welch's definitely helps me with that.  Welch's grape juice is a product I can be proud of having with my meals and snacks since it is very good for me.  

Now welch's has a variety of products including their wonderful 100% grape juice, white grape juice, and red grape juice that come in several sizes.  They also have jellies and fruit snacks and soda.  I didn't realize the amount of products they have on the market currently.  Also there are tons of ways to incorporate the grape juice into different recipes.  I was amazed at the possibilities.  You can search through tons of recipes here including the one below for barbecued spareribs with red grape juice glaze - perfect for some summertime grilling.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 lbs. Spareribs
  • 1- 6 oz. can frozen lemonade, thawed
  • 1 T salt and undiluted
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom
  • 1 cup Welch’s Red Grape Juice
  • 1/4 tsp. curry powder

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle salt and pepper over spareribs. Combine red grape juice, concentrated lemonade, cardamom and curry powder in a bowl and stir until well blended. Barbecue spareribs slowly, turning frequently and basting with sauce.

Does that not just sound delicious?  It is definitely on my list of things to try this summer.

now another great thing bout Welch's is their Harvest Grant.  Ask anyone who knows me how important I think school is and they will tell you I think it extremely important and I take my kids' very seriously.  Recently my son lost his school in the tornadoes that hit our community so I appreciate any company that helps make schools better for any reason.  The Harvest Grant is a grant that allows schools to have the supplies to create an indoor or outdoor garden.  i think it is very important for kids to work in a garden.  It helps tehm learn so much and it teaches responsibility.  Welch's is partnered with Scholastic in this project.  If you would like to learn more or maybe sign your school up for the next grant, you can go here to learn more.  Also while you are there check out the current winners who deserve a pat on the back since there was over 7,000 entries.

Now I have some more great news from Welch's...

GIVEAWAY ALERT

One lucky winner will receive a coupon for a free bottle of Welch's grape juice.  

Mandatory entry is to tell me why you love Welch's.

edenfantasys - Perfect place to find the honeymoon romance product



Now I am sure many of you know that I am currently engaged to a wonderful man.  Recently I got to think bout our upcoming wedding (date is still to be decided) and then I got to think bout the honeymoon.  I always pictured my honeymoon being this really romantic night filled with bubble bath and massage oils and well of course something else...  (not going to say what since this is a family friendly blog LOL).

So I decided to check edenfantasys to see if they would have what I needed to make the perfect romantic honeymoon night.  And of course they did not disappoint me.  They had a massage oil therapy kit which contains five bottles of different massage oils.

They also carry candles,  bath products, lotions, and of course adult items to increase the "fun" of the special night.  The hardest part about using edenfantasys is trying to figure out what to get.  So you should definitely head over to their website to find that perfect honeymoon gift or weekend gift if you are already married.
