Inside Out Toys & DVD/Blu-ray is Now Available Everywhere! #InsideOutEmotions

November 6, 2015 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

I am so excited that Inside Out is now out on DVD! My kids, well, who am I kidding, the whole family loved this movie when it initially came out, and we knew walking out of the theater that this would be in our movie library too. As the movie got closer and close to being released my girls had been seeing all of the amazing toys that are also out in the stores and online and they have been clamoring for them. This was especially true when it came to Joy and Anger toys. Don’t ask me why these characters specifically, but each daughter had their favorites, my oldest loved Anger and my youngest loved Joy!

Recently I took a trip to my local Walmart because I wanted to surprise my girls with some Inside Out today to celebrate the release of the Inside Out movie this week. Before going to the store, I checked out all of the amazing Inside Out toys that were on the Walmart website. I did not know what I would find in store specifically, but I was impressed with the variety that I found online.

Because I went to the store on November 3, I also decided to pick up the Inside Out movie too. My kids had no idea I was going to surprise them like this so this was going to be a ton of fun!

After I found the movie, I went to check out the toys and specifically what they had in regards to the Anger and Joy characters. In going to the store I had to search a bit to find what was there.

It took a little bit of looking around to find the TOMY toys at Walmart, but when I did I was lucky enough to find exactly what I was looking for. As mentioned, the characters of Anger and Joy were the two characters that resonated with my girls, and as luck would have it, those were the two characters that they had. So I purchased both!

As I took the movie and TOMY toys home I can tell you that the girls were ecstatic. They jumped up and down and they were so on board with having a movie night then and there! We pulled out the movie and popped some popcorn – it was as amazing watching this the second time as it was when we saw it in the movie theater!

Remember that Inside Out is now available for purchase and as you can see there are some great TOMY toys too that will truly make the movie come live, and open up the imagination of your kids too!

Be sure to pick up your copy of Inside Out at Walmart!. I’d love to hear about your DVD watch party plans!

Even Picky Cats Like Purina Muse ® Natural Cat Food #ad

September 29, 2015 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

This shop has compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MyCatMyMuse #CollectiveBias

When it comes to my cats I do whatever I can to make sure that they are taken care of. I see them as a part of my family and thus I try my best to find top notch food that they will like, but also that provides them grain free natural nutrition and is good for them.

Unfortunately for us we have one cat that is VERY picky. She tens to like what she likes and turns her nose up at almost everything else. That being said we have tried a lot of different types of cat foods over the years to let her experience things and sometimes we are successful and sometimes we are not.

I had never heard of Purina Muse® Natural Cat Food before I found it at my local PetSmart the other day. When I was walking up the aisles I saw Purina Muse and also saw that not only was it on sale, but there were coupons available too – SCORE! As a dad who likes to save money, when I can buy two cans and get two free, what could be better than that!

Before I bought, I took out my cell phone and decided to check out the Purina website, and specifically to look at this specific line of products to learn a bit more. You see, as I mentioned, I like to be informed, and I want to provide natural nutrition and quality ingredients to my furry family members. As I was looking into this, a few things stood out to me:

Purina Muse provides wet recipes in Chowder, in Broth, with Toppers, in Gravy and Paté, so no matter what your cat likes, they have created some very unique dishes in different varieties.
All of the Purina Muse recipes are made with real fish or poultry (and many times mixed varieties too).
There are no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in Purina Muse.
Purina Muse is 100% complete and balanced for adult cats
There are 30 Purina Muse recipes available and depending on the store you frequent you may find all or only some of these.
24 grain-free Purina Muse varieties

I decided to get a variety of Purina Muse types to see what my cats would enjoy. I was very impressed with the selection and the combinations available as I do not believe I have ever seen a cat food with carrot mixed in before!

I broght home the Purina Muse and decided to use it right away to see how my cats would react. Of course my two youngest, who like to eat almost anything, were all over me the moment I opened the can. I randomly selected one and gave it to them on the plate and in less than a minute the entire plate was clean.

I even videotaped this as one of my younger cats was even growling at her brother as she was eating the Purina Muse, she liked it that much!

Now the bigger test for us was my older cat. She is the one that I was mentioning earlier was my pick eater. I selected the Natural Mackerel variety as I knew that she loved tuna from the can, so I thought this could be another good possibility. I provided the food to her and amazingly she cleaned the plate. She didn’t even leave any for her younger siblings to finish. This is not something that is normal for her. She is very picky and only likes certain brands and types of foods, but we now have added Purina Muse to that list, and I, for one, am so glad that we tried it for her!

My overall impressions of Purina Muse this far has been extremely positive. I love the full pieces in some of the varieties, and even better was the mixture of recipes that are on the shelves. Purina has really provided a quality product that allows me to rest assured that my cats are getting quality food. With Muse you don’t have to choose between natural nutrition and food that tastes great.

If my cats could talk they would agree with what Purina Muse says: Natural has never been so delicious. Put Muse to the test with our clean plate guarantee.

We put the clean plate guarantee to the test and we definitely ended up with a clean plate and I am sure that you will too!

If you want to try this out for your own cats, Purina Muse is offering a great coupon right now! I highly encourage you to try this with your own cats!

SNICKERS ® Asks, Who Do I Become #WhenImHungry ?

March 24, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

See more great SNICKERS® recipes and fun stories on the SNICKERS® social hub

When I’m hungry, I’m hungry. No ifs, ands, or buts. This is especially true in the mid-afternoons. I get into a mid-afternoon slump and for me I just need a little pick me up that gives me a little boost and back on track for the rest of the day. I am especially looking for snacks that can give me protein and a bit of sweetness and this is where SNICKERS® comes in. Thus, I was really excited to be asked to go out and pick up a few of these great candy bars at my local Speedway convenience store thanks to #CollectiveBias.

Snickers-#WhyImHungry

Lately I have been seeing Snickers’ campaign asking who you become when your’re hungry? I love this #WhenImHungry campaign as I have felt this way many times, especially after a hard day, where everything seems to be going wrong, or when you just are lacking in energy. That being said, I would have to say that sometimes I feel like the Whiners on SNL

I feel like this until I get my day back on track and getting that extra protein and energy really helps.

I had not tried some of the new varieties of SNICKERS® that are on the market. That being said, I have to say that the Snickers Extreme and the SNICKERS® Peanut Butter are probably my favorites. They are both really different, but both are amazing!

Snickers-#WhyImHungry

I love to have these snacks in my desk for those emergency days. I will be honest and say that these are not for the everyday occurrence, but I do need them every now and again and when I do, having them on hand really helps. As you can see in the pictures, I have kept a few in my backpack (I have had to use this lately due to the fact that I am on crutches with a broken ankle), but also in my desk drawer too. Both are great places that help me to have the energy I need when I need it.

SNICKERS-WhyImHungry

I also have to comment that I appreciate that they have broken the Snickers into two halves. This allowed me to be able to ration what I ate and limit the calories too. It is not always easy to be good and only eat one half, but the package is made so that I can and this really makes it convenient to help be be good! It also helps you in your portion controls too, so if you are trying to watch your portions this will definitely help. The Snickers bars also are great because they fill you up. With the amount of protein that you have in each bar you get a ton of protein that definitely fills you up between meals (or at least it did for me).

With SNICKERS® I no longer need to be one of the Whiners and instead I can get my day back on track and finish off the day strong and you can too!

You can have some fun and tell who you are when you are hungry too to win some great prizes!

Enter the SNICKERS® “Who are you when you’re hungry?” contest by uploading a personal photo or video from your Computer, Facebook, Instagram or use the SNICKERS® Meme Generator to create something new! Voting begins at Noon on 5/11/15 and ends at 11:59:59AM ET on 7/15/15.

How do you handle your hunger? Which flavor of SNICKERS® bars are your absolute favorite? I would love to hear! Leave a comment below!

Best Buy=Deals & Great Service #OneBuyForAll #shop

December 13, 2013 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

I’m a guy, but you probably guessed that by the name of my blog. When it comes to gifts, what do I and so many guys love, you guessed it, electronics and gadgets. Yes this is a generalization, but it is one that I continually hear from other guys that I know. For me, one of my first stops when shopping for electronics is Best Buy. Why shop here first versus going online? For me, I have to be honest and say that I will do my research online and read up on brands and what I may be looking for, but there is something about Best Buy and their employees that to me gives me peace of mind. Also, the staff there are so knowledgeable. I know that I can go in and ask any question and they seemingly always have the answer or know someone else has the answer. Online you do not always have the “experts” available for you and instead you have to search more and make your best guess or ask others online for their opinions.

The other thing that Best Buy does that you cannot get online is the ability to get your hands on most of the items that they sell and give them a test drive. On my visit to the store I saw many examples of adults and kids alike trying out phones, tablets, computers, televisions and so much more. These people were seeing first hand the benefits of the technology and always in the background were the helpful staff members that were eager to aid them with questions.

I always love having the ability to simply bask in the technology that surrounds you when you come into the store. Both seeing how things work as well as leaning through tactile means (which is how I tend to learn best).

I also love the breadth and depth of products that are available. Not only will you find televisions and computers, but you also will find musical instruments, household appliances, games and more. If it is technology related, best buy seems to have a connection to it.

I also like that Best Buy tends to have great prices from what I have seen in the past and I have ended up purchasing a number of things from them in the past (such as my Nikon DSLR camera that I own) because they had the best price as well as bundling that also is sometimes available depending on the product itself. On this trip, outside of a giftcard that I purchased, I also was looking for some new memory for my camera and they had a great sale going on for a 32GB card, which is great because I end up taking a lot of pictures and memories, so size and price of card really matters.

As I was preparing this story, I found a cool item that Best buy is now offering. For those of you on Twitter or even if you are not, Best Buy has put together a cool trending tool so that you can see what everyone is talking about. Best Buy’s trending page to show what gadgets are currently trending on Twitter (www.bestbuy.com/trending?ref=70&loc=12). Not surprisingly, apple’s IPhone and IPad are the numbers one and two at the writing of this.

Best Buy is rewarding the Gift-Giver, from December 11-24th, every time a customer purchases a $25 or more Best Buy gift card, in-store or online, they can scan/enter their gift card number to enter for a chance to win one of the daily prizes. Customers can enter via the Best Buy app by scanning their card or by going to www.bestbuy.com/givetowin /?ref=70&loc=12 and entering their card number.

(1) Grand Prize: $10,000 Best Buy gift card, (5) First Prizes: $500 Best Buy gift card, (10) Second Prizes: $100 Best Buy gift card, (40) Third Prizes: $50 Best Buy gift card

Treat Your Cat Like Royalty With @Shebabrand Cat Food #ShebaCat #CBias

November 5, 2013 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

When I think of my cats I think of family. I see the two cats that as have as extensions of my family and treat them as such. With that in mind I am always looking for new ways to treat them well and to give them healthy, great tasting food that will not only sustain them, but will also make them happy. This is especially true with my oldest cat who is 13. Lately he has not been eating as much, so the vet told us to start giving him soft food to help him eat more. I did my research and found that there are a ton of different moist cat food brands that state that they offer the moon and back, but not all do. One of the brands that I checked out was Sheba Cat food. I had never tried this brand in the past, but the more that I read the better the brand sounded, so I was definitely game to try it out with the cats to see what they would think and whether it was an immediate hit or not (as mu cats tend to sometimes be finicky eaters).

Sheba Cat Food Shopping, #ShebaCat

When I went to the store to pick this up, I was amazed at how many varieties that they had and many were ones that I thought that my cats would simply love! I decided to go for it and jump at garabbing one of each variety to test them out and see how they enjoyed them. I also could not pass up a sale on the food itself… I mean five cents off is five cents off and on top of that I had gone to the Sheba Cat Food website and was able to get a coupon for another great offer – Buy 6, Get 1 Free (http://www.sheba.com/Home). All-in-all, I was able to get all of the varieties at this store for only $5.00, what a deal!

Sheba Cat Food Shopping, #ShebaCat

I liked the design on the cans as they look expensive. One thing that I was a bit surprised at was the size of the can. We have purchased larger moist cans in the past and I thought they were all the larger ounce can sizes (we have lids for these). With the fact that these were smaller I anticipate having to either try and find a smaller lid from a pet food store, or using saranwrap or other type wrap to keep it good, especially if my cats do not polish it off in the first try.
#shebacat #cbias

In taking these home and opening the can the food had a pate look to it and was smooth which I knew would be good for my oldest cat Puffy. I ended up giving my cats a number of the varieties and thus far, all of have been a hit. For me, I am looking for cat food that is healthy and made with quality ingredients for a reasonable price and Sheba seems to have all of the above!

If you look at the below image you can see how happy my cat is, and for me this is what I am looking for in a cat food. Not only does it make him happy but it makes me a very happy caregiver and parent to him! On top of all of this it also gives me peace of mind to know that I am giving my cats healthy food that will give them the nutrients that they need for the future!

Giving Back to Others Is Important @Elmers #BagItForward #cfk #shop

August 20, 2013 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

As a father I try and teach my children whatever I can to make sure that they understand the importance of not only receiving, but also giving to others. Since they have were young I have tried to help Diva J and Diva PJ learn what it feels like to give to others and also think for themselves about what they can do to make the community a better place. I was so excited to be working with the Champions for Kids campaign and the Elmer’s Bag it Forward program to give school supplies to my community.

I was asked to go and shop at my local Walmart to give supplies to our local schools and to others in the community. This is so important in our community because funding has continually had to be cut for the local schools and I know that many of the teachers have been having to supplement the budgets that they have been given to make sure that supplies are adequate for their classrooms, and in my perspective this is not right. For what teachers make and the amount of work that they put into the education of our kids, I wish that all were willing to spend a little extra for the benefit of all of our kids.

This is where I have to commend Elmer’s for their Bag it Forward program, as this is a great program and something that just lifts my spirits, whenever I read the stories of others that are participating. On top of this, working with Champions for Kids is a perfect fit, as they have been giving back to communities in so many ways for such a long time as well.

For my shop, when I went to the store I was thinking of the fact that all of our kids need supplies to be creative. With that in mind all of the supplies that I was searching for related to this. Thus, I ended up finding a ton of crayons, colored pencils, scissors, erasers and glue that could be used by kids throughout the year to create new and innovative things within the school and at home.

I was doing what I could to be a savvy shopper. One reason I love shopping at Walmart this time of year is that they usually have some of the best back to sale prices that I have found around me and with this experience it was the same. I even ran into a couple that were purchasing school supplies to donate for another cause, but they had three carts full of supplies and in talking to them they stated the same for their reasons to why they were shopping where they were.

I was able to find some more generic crayons and colored pencils to save even more money and thus I was able to purchase even more supplies than I had first thought that I could.

After shopping for all of the supplies I wanted to drop off my supplies right away (at least some of them to our local food bank, but alas they were closed at the time (as they have only selective hours), and the rest of the supplies I was going to donate to teachers at our elementary schools.

I am so excited to be able to share supplies like these and hope to be able to continue working with Champions for Kids and Elmer’s in the future to support our schools and families that really need the help!

You can see more pictures for this #bagitforward shopping experience here – https://plus.google.com/photos/100572181234104788072/albums/5907477045974499473

I encourage all of you to follow my lead giving back to your own community – you will not regret it in the least!

@MasterCard #BillPay Makes Paying Bills So Easy #MC

August 5, 2013 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

MasterCard Bill Pay Program Makes Paying Bills Easy

All of us have bills to pay each month and while some companies are making it easy to pay bills, MasterCard is making it even easier through their Bill Pay program. I had never heard about this program but the idea of being able to use my Mastercard was intriguing as making it easier to pay bills is definitely something that I want in my life, and if this means that I can also have the chance to win some money by paying my bills, sign me up!

You may be asking, why have I never used this program before. well, for one, I didn’t know it existed. I use my Credit Card all of the time for purchases as I really do not carry cash around with me. However I do maintain a monthly budget and always make sure to pay off my card each month, as I have numerous friends who have gotten in trouble with credit card debt and I do not want that.

I have used my MasterCard for many years as my card is connected through the UPromise program and I receive a percentage back from all of the purchases that I make toward the education of my kids, so the rewards for using my MasterCard are amazing! Also, for me, using my MasterCard is easy and convenient, and there are no stops at the bank to get Cash or time to write out a check.

On top of the rewards MasterCard is also sweetening the deal this summer by letting anyone that uses their MasterCard between August 1 – October 31, 2013 for purchases, including wireless, cable, utility, insurance and healthcare bills and more you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win $60,000.* I know I could use $60,000 – how about you?

When I heard about this Bill Pay program I first asked myself who could I use it for. The above site that you see is the initial screen that I went to to find the program itself and enter the directory of places that allow you to use your MasterCard to pay your bill.

The directory is quite self-explanatory and I found it to be easy to use. I liked the categories that they allow you to select from and the zipcode delimiter was nice too as it allowed me to see the things in my area that pertained. I looked through all of the categories and was a bit surprised to not find my cell phone provider (T-Mobile) and I had wished that I could use this for paying down some of my student loan that is serviced by Sallie Mae, but these two programs were not there. That does not mean that there was not a ton though that you could use this for. I decided to look at utilities and seeing that I use Consumers Energy and Detroit Edison for my utilities, I was happy to see both here. I chose to select Detroit Edison so that I could pay off a bill that I had coming due.

One of the nice things is that when you select a company the MasterCard Bill Pay program will provide you with a link that will take you to where you need to go to set up your MasterCard for payment. For me when I was taken to the DTE site, I ended up signing into my account and then being able to easily go to set up my payment options.

As you can see below I was able to add in my information below and then be able to save this into the account as a payment option that I could use in the future. You can also set up an auto-bill pay using your preferred billing method too which is convenient and definitely makes you feel secure that you will not miss a payment.

Once you have the credit card information entered you can easily set the amount you need to pay as well as the payment method.

Once you have reviewed your payment information you can simply confirm the transaction and you are ready to go, it is that easy!

If you have a MasterCard it could not be easier to use this Bill Pay program. I highly encourage you to check it out and see for yourself how this can help you too!

Also remember that from August 1 – October 31, 2013 you can use your MasterCard^® credit, debit or prepaid card for all your purchases, including wireless, cable, utility, insurance and healthcare bills and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win $60,000.*
