#KFCBucketList Contest & Shutterfly Prize Pack Giveaway!

There are few things in life I crave but KFC is a big one! I don't eat it often because I try to make most of our meals nightly but this week we decided to take advantage of a gift card I got for KFC and I'm SO glad we did, it was DELICIOUS.

KFC has a Bucket List contest going on! Do YOU have a bucket list? Is there a dream destination you'd love to visit? A concert you are just DYING to see? Share with me below some of the things you'd add to your bucket list!

Summer can be busy, stressful and on the go for many families how about trying a KFC bucket or Combo to help ease the stress a little bit? Why not especially when there is an amazing contest going on too!

Before I go into all the details of this wonderful KFC Bucket List Contest I thought I would share my bucket list with you! How fun, right?

My Bucket List:

• - Visit 2 Countries besides my own
• - Visit my Mom's grave
• - Meet Nick Carter
• - See whales swimming in the ocean where they belong
• - Stay a week in Sunny California
• - Move to a big city
• - Climb a Mountain
• - Run a 5K
• - Play the slots in Vegas
• - Go on a REAL Hike
• - Go back to Montreal

My bucket list has been around for years and I can happily say a few have been crossed off now, because I've done them!

Here I am meeting Nick Carter after being a huge fan of the Backstreet Boys since I was ELEVEN years old! 

The easiest part of a bucket list is making it, the hardest is not only crossing them off but sitting and looking at it yearly and not crossing them off! It's time to make more of these happen, I'm on a mission! 

This summer there are plans for me to visit Montreal with the kids and I just signed up to be apart of a 5K in September! My mom's grave has been on the list since her passing in 2001. I have had plans many times to go every year, but I just haven't been able to yet. Emotionally I think I'm not ready yet.

Giveaway: The Very Fairy Princess Collection {USA ONLY}

We are a huge family of book lovers in our house! So when I was asked to do this giveaway for the Very Fairy Princess collection! I was more than happy to jump at the chance!

I was lucky enough to be sent one of the books from the collection. We got the "The Very Fairy Princess Graduation Girl" book and we absolutely love it. Not just my two girls, but I thought it was a really sweet book that actually had a lot of meaning for us. My girls recently switched schools and aren't having the easiest time adjusting, and are still a bit iffy about school. So although they aren't graduating - a lot of the story really applied in our situation and we've read it quite a few times since getting it!

Kyla even likes reading it herself, and has asked me to get her the whole collection for her Birthday in October!

 The book is extremely well written, both Kyla and I can read it, and she didn't have to struggle with any of the words. She is a bit behind with her reading but read this book with ease. The writing is a good size, and the pictures are amazingly illustrated.

Ava is in grade 1 and also read the book with ease. She was able to also sound out words, but look at the photos if she needed any assistance and was able to figure it out. The pictures also kept the girls focus on the pages and not wandering while we were reading, this was a HUGE plus for us!

ABOUT THE BOOK 

- I received "A Very Fairy Princess Graduation Girl"

While her friends and family may not believe in fairies, Geraldine knows, deep down, that she is a VERY fairy princess.

This is the fifth adventure in the adorable, sparkly, sweet Very Fairy Princess series from celebrated children’s book author Julie Andrews (best known for The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and The Princess Diaries) and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton.

In this new tale, the end of the school year is here, and Very Fairy Princess Gerry is getting ready to graduate! She always loves a celebration, but can't help but feel a little sad as she empties her cubby, takes down her art projects, and says goodbye to her class pet, Houdini the hamster. She's also a little nervous about leaving Miss Pym... what if her new teacher doesn't let Gerry wear her wings and crown? Change can be hard, even for a fairy princess!  Thankfully, she realizes that new things can bring their own sparkle.  A perfectly delightful addition to your child’s bookshelf.

Inappropriate Elf: A Thief In The Night....

When Jill over at Baby Rabies announced she was going to be holding her Inappropriate Elf on the shelf contest again this year I was thrilled and immediately began to think of things I could do. So, this is what I came up with. There's a story to it, so we decided to play it all out and write it up for you all to view! ENJOY...

Elfie - A Thief In The Night............

 

 T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house the family was frantic, couldn't find their dear Elf. On dad's way out the door to work once again, little Jordan saw Elfie and screamed, "Oh no! not again!"

Dad didn't hear and kept on truckin', dear little Elfie was chucklin'..

 

Elfie hopped off dad's jacket and hid in a shoe, He said "haha, heehee I guess I fooled you!"

 Alas, it's night's end.. And nobody's near, time to crack the code, Elfie gave a big cheer!

 Open sesame, Open sesame it's time to get movin', once inside this here safe Elfie's comfortably groovin'...

 He's in hangin' out with some sweet smellin' cash, Now it's that time of night, to take all the stash. 

I wonder how much is left in the till...?

Holy cow he made it, oh what a thrill!!.......

Oh what a thug, that Elfie I say... He took Christmas money and said HAVE A NICE DAY!!

The End.
