Vivaroses Say I Love You In So Many Ways!

May 13, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

It’s almost mother’s day and as part of this special day I wanted to surprise my wife with some flowers. She had seen some roses a few weeks back that were multi-colored and thought they looked very unique so I thought I would find some for her. I was excited to find that Vivaroses had them! I had heard of Vivaroses in the past but had not ordered from them. In going on and looking through their site, they have an amazing array of roses that you can choose from. Best of all they were having a great deal for Mothers Day. Send mom a bouquet of roses for Mother’s Day and get 15% off with code MOM15 at VivaRoses.com! Best of all the sale goes until May 31st so even if you miss Mother’s Day you can still get great roses and save.

Ordering from VIVAROSES was super easy. You simply find the bouquet you want and order. You will get a choice of sizes for your bouquet and once complete the company is great at following up to let you know the status of your order. You also can select the date in which you want the roses to be delivered and they are sent via FedEx.

It only took a few days to receive the beautiful roses that you see at the top of the post. Actually, what you see in that picture is only half of the bouquet as there were two dozen in the bouquet that I ordered. My wife loved them and your loved one will love the quality of these roses too.

If you are looking for roses for someone special, remember that you can get roses for every occasion with VivaRoses.com.

About Viva Roses

In a Spanish colony, in what is now Ecuador, during the early 1600s, there was a beautiful young woman with flowing dark locks, porcelain skin, and dark eyes. Her name was Eva and all the men of the colony desired to win her heart.
Her father, the governor of the colony, presented a challenge to his beautiful daughter’s suitors. He proposed that the suitor that presents his daughter with a gift as beautiful as she would win her hand in marriage.
A farmer’s son named Galo Cortez was madly in love with Eva. Not coming from a wealthy family he could not provide Eva with a gift of gold or jewels. Galo, however, heard the legend of beautiful roses that grew on the side of the volcano of Cotopaxi. Saying goodbye to his father, he set out on his quest for his gift for Eva.
After a long journey, Galo finally arrived at the base of Cotopaxi and spotted his prize – beautiful deep red volcanic roses. He made his way back to Eva and presented her with his gift. She was so taken by the beauty of the volcanic roses that she placed one in her hair for all to know that Galo had won her heart.

Our goal is to provide only freshest, most stunning roses from their family farm directly to your loved ones heart.

Candis opened The Jones Market after the birth of her son, and used GoDaddy’s online store platform to get her shop up and running. She’s built a successful business while raising two young children, and we’re excited to support a mom-run business this year.

Entrants will be accepted throughout the month of May. The winner will be notified on Wednesday, June 1.

Forget About Mothers Day? Need a Gift? Sears Makes it Simple!

May 3, 2016 by dadofdivas 8 Comments

Forget About Mothers Day? Need a Gift? Sears Makes it Simple!

Holy moly, Mothers Day is only about a week away. Mothers Day really crept up on me this year and it left me completely unaware. I do not want to have a fatherhood fail here so I need a fast fix to find a gift that I know that my wife will love!

Fortunately I just heard about a brand new service that Sears offers to help dads like me who are in this predicament. Now you might be thinking, Sears? Do they have items that a mom would love? Well… it depends on the mom but from what I have seen online and in the store I would give that answer a resounding YES.

Whether you have a partner in life that is fashionable, an outdoors lover, fitness-focussed, Chef-extraordinaire or even a techie. The nice thing about Sears is that this store carries just about everything!

Now, as a parent, finding time and making these trips, especially with the kids can be a nightmare. In my household we go from extreme to extreme (Do you get that too?). One moment my daughters are excited about the trip and then they are at each others’ throats, or so it seems. So you can probably guess that taking the girls on these trips is not always at the top of my extreme fun lists. This has changed though because of the new service that Sears offers!

Sears recently unveiled its In-Vehicle Pickup shopping service. With this amazing new service lets you sit in the comfort of your home to buy that last minute gift through the Sears website or their app and then by selecting that you want to use this service you can drive up to your local Sears, park in a specially marked place and they will have the item ready. This means that I can pick up my item on the way home from work when it is only me in the car and I do not have to hassle with the kids, their arguing, their “stuff” and even the timing of things….talk about stress relief. Details on how to use the In-Vehicle Pickup service linked here!

I ended up finding a great item for my wife that I was able to order right online. Now you might think this is for the kids, but she wanted a Trampoline for the family….. yes, the family. Now, you might think that jewelry, flowers or something else feminine is what this mother would want, but nope… a trampoline it was!

So onto the Sears website I went and I found a ton of options. Once we found the one that I wanted, I found that while going through the ordering process, it was easy to simply check one box saying I was interested in the In-Vehicle pickup service. From there I downloaded the Seas app and I was ready to go.

When I got to the store I found the location to park and ended up getting my items without problem within only a few minutes. This service and their friendly workers make it stress free and simple!

Are you in the same boat as I was? Do you still need to pick up a Mothers Day gift for someone that you love. Check out all of the great items that Sears has to offer: Sears.com/AllForMom

There’s even a better reason to try out the Sears In-Vehicle Pickup shopping service for Mothers Day or really for any reason right now! Sears is having a sweepstakes!

IN-VEHICLE PICKUP SWEEPSTAKES

Find a great gift for your wife or mom at Sears.com/AllForMom. As a bonus, shoppers that use Sears In-Vehicle Pickup for their online purchases between Tuesday, May 3 and Saturday, May 7 are automatically entered for a chance to win a $5,000 Sears gift card! Alternatively, you can also click on and enter the Shop Your Way All For Mom Sweepstakes at Sears.com/AllForMom.

Getting the Perfect Modern Bag For Mom This Mothers Day

May 1, 2015 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I know that I am always looking to for ways to surprise J-Mom for this special day. She works so hard and does so much and while I try to do things for her on a daily / weekly basis I know that this day is that much more special. For us, J-Mom is always ready and prepared and with that in mind she has a handbag that always seems bottomless, like Mary Poppins, though it is not. Whether it’s a pack of tissues, a coloring book, hand wipes, extra socks or even workout clothes, she’s always has all of us covered. This year, I want to celebrate that awesomeness by making sure her handbag is updated with the latest and greatest in tech from Logitech – which is something that we both love!

Logitech sent me the bag you see in the pictures here in the post and WOW, this bag was filled with a bit of everything. J-Mom jumped right in and wanted to hook up the Harmony remote – which we did. I will take a moment here to say how much I appreciated how easy this remote was and not having to use three remotes anymore for our television (woot!!!). I also got the keyboard out and tried it with two tablets that we have. I found that it worked SO well and easily connected too. The keyboard was larger than I first thought it would be but that was fine with me! I also loved how light and portable the Logitech keyboard was too.

Just recently, Logitech started hosting a social contest on their Facebook Page to celebrate four different types of moms – the aspiring fashionista, hardworking professional, someone who is always up for an adventure, and the tech-savvy and connected. Anyone who votes for the photo that best represents his/her mom will be entered to win a Mother’s Day prize pack.

Giveaway

How would you like to win the above bag for your special mom that lies to stay connected? All you need to do is fill out the below form to be entered. The winner will receive the following Connected bag including:

Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480
Logitech bemo social video camera
Logitech Harmony Ultimate Home
Urban bag
Selfie stick
Lipstick
Touch-screen friendly gloves

Logitech Modern Mom Bag Giveaway

Winners are chosen at random, if you want all your chances counted, make sure you leave individual comments, not all of them in one!

Winner has 48 hours to contact me or another name will be chosen.

Are You Man Enough To Be the #LatteRomeo ? @Starbucks #CaffeMocha #StarbucksVia

April 22, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Starbucks VIA^® Latte
#LatteRomeo Mother’s Day Video Contest

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, in conjunction with Starbucks and Life of Dad, LLC. I was provided with samples packets of Starbucks VIA® Latte, and received compensation for participating in this promotion.

Anyone that is married knows that marriage is not always easy, and as you have kids it becomes even more difficult to not only stay the romantic fool that you were when you were younger, but also it is not always easy to say thank you for everything that your partner does to keep everything running the way that it should (at least that is the case in my own home). Every now and again you have to step up and let mom know how much she is appreciated and this mothers day is the perfect time to do this (though anyday would do too).

Life of Dad and Starbucks have partnered together to bring a cool contest to life. You will be able to become a “Latte Romeo” by preparing that special mom a special breakfast in bed accompanied by a Starbucks VIA^® Latte. It’ll be a meal that she’ll never ever forget…seriously…ever.

The chance for you to win the #LatteRomeo challenge is not entirely in your hands, you see one of the clinchers here is that you have to let your kids pick what will be served to Mom and you will prepare that feast, no matter what they come up with (now remember – no cheating…you have to make what they pick!).

Does your 3 year old think Mom wants only cupcakes for breakfast? Well throw on your apron and get baking. Does your son think 7am is the perfect time for a rack of lamb and a side order of nachos? Time for you to start marinating. They name it, you make it. That’s the rule.

The one thing you can be sure Mom will love when presented with her own personal feast is a sweet and steamy STARBUCKS VIA^® LATTE that you prepared in your own kitchen! The one thing you can be sure Mom will love when presented with her personalized breakfast is a sweet and creamy Starbucks VIA^® Vanilla Latte or a rich, indulgent Starbucks VIA^® Caffè Mocha. The best part is she gets her Starbucks without having to leave the bed, and that makes you a #LatteRomeo.

My daughter gave me my marching orders this morning… while we did not do breakfast in bed (as I know my wife and what she appreciates), we did catch her by surprise without burning down the house) and we had fun in the meantime. At the same time, we made J-Mom happy and got her ready for her day of work (she had to work today) with a full stomach. Below is our video and as you can see I definitely AM the #LatteRomeo …. hands down… I know I have this contest in the bag…

That being said I GUESS I should see what you can come up with… though I know you have no chance to compare to this #LatteRomeo . I challenge you to share your ultimate Mother’s Day breakfast story with an Instagram video (only 15 seconds, so get creative) in LIFE OF DAD’S STARBUCKS VIA^® #LatteRomeo Contest! The grand prize winner will receive a $500 Starbucks Card.

To enter the contest you must:

Create an Instagram video of the morning surprise that features the Starbucks Latte. The video length for Instagram is only 15 seconds, so pack in as much awesome as you can. (All videos must contain a visual of the Starbucks VIA^® Latte logo and/or mention “Starbucks VIA^® Latte” in video.)
Share your video on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Email a link to your video to starbucks@lifeofdad.com
Include all of the below in your social postings:
#StarbucksVIA
#LatteRomeo
@Starbucks
#CaffeMocha or #VanillaLatte (optional)

STARBUCKS will choose the winners on the basis of:

creativity of presentation (30%)
adherence to cheerful, uplifting theme (40%)
Starbucks story/coffee involvement (30%)

Mother’s Day Dilemma Solved: 4 Reasons to Gift Amazon Kindle

May 3, 2013 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

With Mother’s Day approaching, it’s time to start thinking about how to show mom she’s the cat’s pajamas. Why not give the perfect gift that’s both thoughtful and productive? Amazon Kindle is mom’s ultimate gift choice this year – lasting much longer than flowers and chocolates that will be out of the house within a week.

From the affordable Kindle Paperwhite ($119) that allows mom to breeze through her favorite classics in bed without disturbing dad, to streaming the top cooking videos on Kindle Fire HD, below are a few reasons why the Amazon Kindle family should be in your family and is a no-brainer for mom this year.

Why Gift Kindle for Mom This Year?

Mom is busy and works hard. She deserves a few minutes of “me-time”! Kindle Paperwhite is a great accessory for busy moms – Kindle Paperwhite fits in her purse and connects effortlessly to another world between the pages of mom’s favorite book or magazine, not to mention the millions of books available in the Kindle Store (including all the best-selling classics mom loves). Plus, she won’t keep dad awake at night with Paperwhite’s unique front-lit e-ink technology; she can read in bed without disturbing his snore!

She could use an extra hand (or two) around the house. Kindle Fire HD 7” and 8.9”are Mom’s favorite helpers, offering the ability to stream cooking videos while playing chef and choose from countless apps and books that keep her up to speed with the latest organizational tips, how-to guides, cookbooks and inspirational novels.
Mom already has enough to worry about. Kindle FreeTime for the Kindle Fire family is practically a built-in babysitter for mom, allowing her to create customized profiles for the kids which allot specific times for what they are allowed to read, how long they can play games for, and more.
She could use a vacation (understatement of the year). Whether she’s planning a vacation or “stay-cation”, Amazon Kindle is mom’s ultimate travel companion – cute, compact (weighs less than a paperback) and #1 on her what to pack list. Kindle’s e-ink technology is a dream on the beach with no glare. And, if she can only make it to backyard pools this year, she’ll still feel like she’s escaping when she gets lost in her Kindle.

Also, this week there is a deal on Kindle Fire HD for Mother’s Day. The 7” Kindle Fire HD will be $179 ($20 off) until Mother’s Day (May 12^th). The promo code is FIRE4MOM at checkout on Amazon.com.

My Take on the Kindle Fire HD
