OK, so I will admit that I’ve watched the commercials for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray and thought that they were just nuts. There’s no way a “spray” could actually taste good on my food. Well, when I was in NYC, I had a chance to try something and was quite surprised at how good it was. During my visit, they thought that they’d love a chance to help get the news out to other “non-believers” such as myself.
So, they mailed me a bottle of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray, Deluxe Crate ‘n Barrel Grilling Kit and some incredible recipes. So, my husband and I decided to give it a shot ourselves. We wanted shiskabobs one night. We usually skewer them alone to get even cooking. So, this time, we gave them a shot of the butter spray and it really gave a new flavor to them after they were cooked. My husband was even surprised as well — so looks like two converts here! LOL!

We love the circus! We took our oldest to see it for the first time when for her 4th birthday. Watching her enjoy it was a moment that still brings tears to my eyes.

You’ll enjoy clowns, dancers, trainers and aerialists. If you’ve been before, you’ll want to check out this one as it is all new! There are even more magical with dazzling lights, powerful music and incredible visual effects that seemingly spring to life! You won’t believe your eyes when clowns are transformed and one very big part of the show DISAPPEARS….

I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic. It is true. If there is a chocolate bar or treat within 10 feet, I will track it down and consume it without hesitation. That’s why, when I received the latest offer from My Blog Spark, I didn’t even bat an eye in saying yes to share it with my readers.
Now, here’s where it can get better. I am a mom. I work hard all day long and pampering myself is not something I do very often. One thing that is quite relaxing to me is a luxurious bubble bath and a good book. I need to make more time for myself to enjoy these special treats – but I don’t. I know that there are more moms like me out there and that we all need to remember to take care of ourselves.
So, when I received a lovely “chocolate bath” kit and a coupon for some free Pillsbury Sweet Moments, I just knew what to do. Yep! I had that bath. I ate my chocolate in the quiet of my room. No kids. No husband. No laptop. Just me and my love of chocolate – alone. Now, the chocolate didn’t last as long as the bath did – but I enjoyed it all just the same.
If you are like me and need to be pampered, then you’ll love this giveaway. The people at Pillsbury, through My Blog Spark, have offered one of my readers a chocolate bath package (gels, bubbles and pouf) as well as FREE Pillsbury Sweet Moments Desserts! Entry is simple. You can must answer the one required question. However, you can gain up to 2 bonus entries, for a total of 3 entries for this contest! Ready? Here we go!!!!
REQUIRED ENTRY:
1. What do you like to do for YOURSELF? Bubble bath, shopping, gardening, working out? Share it with us and remember thatw we all need to make more time to spoil ourselves!
BONUS ENTRIES:
1. Follow Penny Pinchin’ Mom on a reader or daily e-mail digest.
2. Follow Penny Pinchin’ Mom on Facebook.
This contest will remain open for 2 days – until August 31st at 1:00 p.m CST. At that time, comments will be closed and a winner will be chosen. Said winner will be notified via e-mail within 7 – 14 days to confirm shipping address. Good luck!
