Totally Biased Premier Party!

I recently had a premier party for the new FX show Totally Biased with W. Kamua Bell through Crowdtap!
I gathered some of my family and friends together on August 9th to watch the premier!  To prepare for the party we had some pizza before hand and some goodies to be snacked on during the show!

Lets get this party started!

sneaking some goodies!

We waited in anticipation for the show to start but while we waited we played a game  We each wrote down our own personal Bias and put them in a hat and then pulled each one out and had a guess at whose bias was whose.  I never knew my mother had a bias against OOmpa Loompas, I knew there was a reason she did not like the movie.  We had a lot of fun guessing each others biases!

Pizza!!! 

Playing Whats your Bias?

We also enjoyed watching the the exclusive content provided to us by Crowdtap and Totally Biased!
The content was humorous and helped us to get our laugh on!  We were now in the mood for some comedy!

When the show began we eagerly sat down to watch!

In The Club House Watching Exclusive!

We chuckled throughout the show and really enjoyed the edginess that it had.  We all agreed that when talking about hot button issues comedy is definitely key!  There were certain parts of the show that really had us laughing like the Frisk and eat Fresh bit.  Very funny.  While I can see this show appealing to certain demographics I can also see that it can be used to draw in various ages and people with different points of view together and have a laugh while discussing their favorite topics!



We all agreed that we would really like to see how this show evolves in future episodes!  Comedy is a great way to reach audiences and great television shows get better with each episode!  Looking forward to watching the next show!  Thursdays at 11pm on FX!

I recently got to share with my family and friends a great product!  

Woolite Extra Dark Care!  When I receive my Samples I will finish writing this blog and post some pictures!

Family Night With Kroger!

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to have a Family Fun Night thanks to Kroger and Bzzagent!
I received for FREE a bag of Kroger Brand Cupz Tortilla Chips, Kroger Brand Vitamin Enhanced Water, Truly Awesome Frozen Pizza, and Kroger Brand Frozen Fruit Bars!  What a great start for our Family Night!

I will Start with the Tortilla Cupz they were great and the kids loved them!  They enjoyed them so much that they opened them right away and I had to hid them so we would have some left for the family fun night.  I have to say the only thing I did not like was the packaging I am not sure if it is the lavender bag but if I were at the store they might not have caught my eye. Taste and price though you can't beat them  I ended up having to break out my bag of Kroger Brand Yellow Gold Tortilla chips as a snack while we played a game! lol











The Pizza was great! We bought the Pepperoni self rising crust and let me tell you it rose into a wonderful puffy crust that for the price will definitely give the name brands a run for their money.  I thought the sauce on the pizza was delicious! The Pizza did not last long and I will be going to the store for more in the future!



The Kroger Brand Frozen Fruit Bars were great we had the coconut flavor!  I love the price and they had a delicious fruity flavor!  The first taste was refreshing especially on a hot summer day.   I will be buying these again and again!  My kids are really into eating healthier and I love the fact that are affordable and have a great fruit taste.


The Kroger Enhanced Vitamin Water was also great!  I have bought the name brand of this product for years and I am thrilled to be able to to have an alternative the is reasonable price but still has a great refreshing flavor. It's taste was not too sweet as some flavored water can be and the flavors were not overpowering but added to the enjoyment to the drink!

VERIZON FEED YOUR APP-ETITE PARTY!!

I recently hosted a Verizon Feed Your App-etite party through Crowdtap and let me just say WOW!!!  We  had so much fun!!

VERIZON CROWDTAP VIP!

Goodie Table

I invited several of my family and friends to the house and thanks to Verizon I was able to buy some yummy goodies to have at my party  I had some delicious cupcakes, veggies, fruits, chips and cookies that the kids decorated with icing and then quickly ate!  It was a great summer day so the kids were able to play outside while we played with all our devices.

The few uneaten cookies!

what to buy???

We had several types of devices there including Kindles, iPhones, Androids, and tablets!  Thank You again to Verizon and Crowdtap for providing a $50 gift card to purchase all the apps for the devices!  We had a lot of fun talking about our particular favorite device which of course led to the iPhone vs. Android  I tend to take the middle road "I like both!"  they each have their benefits. I also took the opportunity to show my guests on my laptop the Verizon Insider website which many have never seen.  They really enjoyed all the interesting stories and posts and many of them stated they are going to be following Verizon on Twitter and hope to join in on a Verizon Twitter Party!


The best part and the hardest part of the party came next.....What To Buy!!!!?????
My husband of course wanted to purchase the full version of Angry Birds one of his favorites!  My mother even got the hang of the game by the end of the day!  My favorite I was excited to get was Plants vs. Zombies!  I love playing this game and to have the full version thanks to Verizon and Crowdtap I was beyond thrilled!  My son, his cousin, and his friends of course wanted various game guides to games I have not heard of like Deus Ex and Minecraft and several others.  They were happy.  My sister-in-law was able to get a few games she enjoys as well as a photo app Sketch Me which we had a great time playing with!  My friend who has a passel of children purchased several games for her children to play with, one of which was a Lego app......who does not love Legos?

Angry What??

I got my Angry Birds!!

Everyone had a GREAT time and left the party with some Apps and full of thanks for Verizon and Crowdtap for supplying us with the  means to have an Awesome party!!  They want to know when my next party will be!?

McCormick's Grill Mates What a Party!!!

Spiced Brandy and Herb Chicken

4th of July Celebration!

Mama and her Apron!

I recently was chosen by Crowdtap to host a McCormick's Grill Mates Party and I had my party on the 4th of July and it was fabulous!  Let me start by saying thank you to Crowdtap and McCormick for choosing me and supplying me with so many great goodies!  In my party pack there were so many tasty products that I got to share with my family and friends.  I had about 17 people at my party and the kids had a lot of fun playing some water balloon games outside in the 100 degree temps but when it got to hot they went in and played the family favorite a "Friendly" game of Uno!

Montreal Steak kabobs and Molasses Bacon Burgers!

On our menu we had ribs with the Memphis Pit BBQ Rub, chicken breasts with Spiced Brandy and Herb Marinade, pork chops with the Molasses Bacon Seasoning, Hamburgers with the Molasses Bacon Seasoning, steak shish kabobs and one veggie burger with the Montreal Steak Seasoning. We also had the Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce on the side for those who needed more sauce for their ribs or chicken.

Cherry Goop and Chocolate Eclair!

Side dishes we had my mom's homemade potato salad..YUM! Coleslaw from our favorite little restaurant who is famous for their coleslaw, veggies, fruits, chips and dips. For dessert the family famous Cherry Goop that I rarely get to eat because it is always gone by the time I am ready for dessert! We also had a Chocolate Eclair pudding dish that was also yummy. Let us just say no one went home hungry!

So how did people react to the wonderful McCormick's Grill Mate flavors?  Let me just say the ribs were gone!  They loved the Memphis Pit BBQ and for those who love a bit of sweet in their BBQ sauce absolutely loved the Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ sauce, including me I love a bit of sweet over a sauce that is too smokey!  The Steak Kabobs with the Montreal Steak Seasoning went as well everyone commented that the seasoning helped to enhance the flavors of the steak and veggies without overwhelming it!  My husband went around and ate the rest of my son's kabob who ate the steak but left the veggies! LOL!

Spiced Brandy and Herb!

The chicken breast with the Spiced Brandy and Herb was great even my father enjoyed his and he has a picky palette that does not enjoy things that are too spicy loved the chicken!  As for the pork chops with the Molasses Bacon Seasoning my mother really enjoyed those because she is just loves her pork chops and she enjoyed the different flavoring the Bacon Molasses gave to the pork chop...I think she had two!  The hamburgers with the Molasses Bacon Seasoning were a big hit with the kids as well has my husband who, when the steak kabobs were gone had himself a Molasses Bacon Burger!  I was amazed when my son told me " I love these hamburgers, I want another one!"  He is a super picky eater and will not eat bacon so I was really surprised that he at two hamburgers!  My daughter enjoyed her veggie burger with the Montreal Steak Seasoning telling me "It almost taste like meat!" LOL!  Overall everyone loved the food especially trying all the wonderful flavors supplied through Crowdtap by McCormick's I know I would not have bought some of those seasonings originally but thanks to this party I will be experimenting more with what McCormick's has to offer and I know my family will too.

My plate or at least my first plate!
