Hit me with your best shot...Madden NFL '12 style!!!

Recently, BzzAgent.com began what they're calling, "Daily BzzCampaigns" in which BzzAgents (ie: yours truly) are given the opportunity to get invited into super cool campaigns each day. This new idea began with the launching of Kindles. Did you get that? KINDLES! I'm not talking about some cheapy electronic device you'd find 10 for a $1 at a flea market but the real Amazon Kindle! You can only imagine the kind of excitement this announcement generated among the BzzAgent community and needless to say, I was not one of the chosen few who were selected to take part in this amazing campaign. I cried, I wept and I stomped my feet like Veruca Salt. But I licked my wounds and the sun *did* shine again. Life is still good...because my heart beats for all things football and lo and behold, the Daily BzzCampaign is for the NEWEST MADDEN NFL '12 VIDEO GAME!!!!!! Boo-Yaa!!! Now, the average girly girl would balk at the very idea of watching someone toss around the 'ole pig skin on the big screen but not THIS girly girl. I live for football...the sights, the sounds, the smells...yes, the smells. You know what I mean...there's nothing that smells quite like football as much as beer and nachos at the stadium. Unfortunately, that's one thing the video game can't provide (note to self: make nachos and stock up on beer to create my stadium away from home...err, away from stadium...hehehe). This video game would make me a very happy girl. I love the running, rushing, punting, returning, tackling, intercepting and of course, the scoring of football! And another plus of the game? I can see Aaron Rodgers as.much.as.I.want. Sorry dearest hubby. ;)

Mmm...NUTELLA!



A few weeks ago, I was selected to host a Nutella party and I couldn't have been happier. Have you ever heard of Nutella? If not, you should drive straight to your nearest grocery store and peruse the aisles until you find it. It's most commonly found near the many jars of peanut butter but do not mistake this awesome yumminess for the average peanut butter because it most definitely is NOT! In fact, Nutella doesn't contain any peanuts or peanut ingredients nor is it come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing. Nutella is made with hazelnuts...SUPER TASTY HAZELNUTS!!!

On March 19th, my guests gathered at my home to sample the Nutella hazelnut spread. Do you want to hear an interesting note? All of my guests had heard of Nutella but had never tried it! I was shocked! As each of them learned about Nutella and then were given the opportunity to sample it, they were all pleasantly surprised at its unbelieveable taste! After learning how good it was, they all said they would be more than happy to purchase it during their next grocery trip.

At the end of the party, each guest received a goodie bag filled with a
Nutella sample, coupons, a travel mug, spreader and various print materials. Everyone had a great time!

**I was provided with the Nutella party kit from MommyParties. In exchange, I agreed to host a party and blog about it.**
