KitchenAid Mixer Giveaway! (Ends 12/9 - U.S. & Canada)

It’s Christmas Baker's Edition Giveaway Event

Organized by: Mom Powered Media. Co-hosted by: Shannon's View from Here, My Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Life, Joans 5 Star Reviews, Sweetphi, Mommy Kat and Kids and Naturally Frugalicious.

Something I've always dreamed of having is a KitchenAid Mixer! It would be so great to make those Christmas cookies and other treats for the holidays or any time, for that matter! There are so many neat kitchen gadgets  and products that are useful and would make great Christmas gifts. Some products that would be great gifts would be a Keurig Brewing System, and a Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker. For that Christmas morning breakfast, a Presto Cool Touch Griddle would also be great for the whole family. I like gadgets that makes it easier for cooking in the kitchen when you have a big crowd or family for Christmas holidays.

MPM Network Bloggers are gearing up for an amazing holiday season. Make sure you stop by and checkout all the tasty recipes below. Surely you will find something that makes your holiday even yummier!

One lucky reader will receive a KitchenAid Tilt-head Stand Mixer + accessories!

Silence on Good Friday

Today my family went to our Good Friday church service.  It is a day where you think about Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins.  When I think of all the pain and suffering he did for us it is sad.  We don't understand a lot of things and won't till we get to heaven some day.  Then all of our questions will be answered.

At the end of the service the organist played an eerie loud sound and the pastor slammed the bible shut, in remembrance of the end of Jesus' life.  Every one was supposed to walk out of the church in silence, which is a way to reflect and remember.

The pastor always goes to the cemetery across the street from the church after the service.  I imagine he looks at all the names of the souls who have passed away in the last year and from years before.  I've noticed he has been doing this the last few years when we were leaving church.

Sunday will be a happy day because Jesus rose from the dead and the tomb was empty.  I hope all of you have a Blessed Easter and remember what the day is really about.  It's not about Easter bunnies, Easter egg hunts, or just another holiday to get together.

Dial Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash Review

            

Everyone washes their hands (well, I hope so anyways) and uses liquid soap in my family, and since our home has two bathrooms I'm always replacing the soap containers.  At least everyone has clean hands in my household! 

 It's always fun to have something new and pretty for the holidays to have in your bathroom.  I had the pleasure to try Dial Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash and to say the least I was very excited!  The awesome bottles of Dial Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash were decorated beautifully for the holiday season. I received the holiday Candy Cane and Snowman designs.   It makes washing hands even more fun with these pretty festive bottles!

Decorative & Cute

I love the red and white swirl looking like a peppermint candy cane and also the cute snowman looking at me!  The pump on the bottle releases the foaming hand soap which is wonderfully fresh smelling also.  It's easy to use and less messy than regular liquid soap pumps.  This holiday season I'll know that my family is getting their hands cleaner and have less chance of germs spreading using this awesome product.  You can find Dial on facebook to keep up on their latest happenings and news here.



Disclosure: Dial provided a free sample of their  Holiday Foaming Hand Soap so I could review them.  However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own.
