Ruth's Chris Steak HouseFather's Day is tomorrow, but I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to wine and dine my husband in grand fashion for an early Father's Day celebration.  You may remember me telling you all about a unique culinary experience happening at Ruth's Chris Steak House just in time for Father's Day:  the Glenmorangie Scotch and Wine Dinner.

Ruth's Chris Steak House paired with Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotches and Moet and Casa Lapostolle wines on Sunday, June 10th for a phenomenal night of amazing spirits and innovative cuisine.  All attendees had the opportunity to sample champagne, Cabernet Sauvignon and several varieties of single malt scotch, as well as delight in a 5-course meal of sumptuous food.  Keep reading to learn more about our night out as well as what interesting tidbits I learned about Glenmorangie Scotch!

Teleflora Sunny SunflowersI still believe that one of the best jobs in the world has to be that of a floral delivery person.  Everyone LOVES to be sent beautiful flowers and a floral delivery person probably receives the warmest welcomes and nicest greetings all day, every day, from the people they deliver to.

Teleflora has been making people smile for years by delivering wonderful floral arrangements to people across the country, on time and as promised.

Now that summer is here and the weather is warm and inviting, you may dread going back indoors to its dull surroundings.  If this is the case, then by all means, liven up your living or working area with a pop of bold color that only a bouquet of gorgeous flowers can bring.

Teleflora has a wide variety of amazing summer flowers that will brighten your day and instantly lift your spirits.

For instance, who wouldn't smile when faced with this radiantly sunny sunflowers arrangement?  Sunflowers are my personal favorite and this particular arrangement would look perfect sitting at my desk or on the kitchen table.

I especially love the glass bubble bowl with curly willow tucked neatly inside.  If you are looking for the perfect way to bring a little sunshine your way or to immediately brighten the day of someone special, then make sure to let Teleflora's summer flower ideas lead the way!

NaturepedicI've always tried to treat my bedroom as a sleep sanctuary and have taken great pains to make sure that the lighting (or lack thereof), linens, mattress and pillows are all conducive to a great night's rest.  Any time you spend 1/3 of your life doing something, you should enjoy it, right?

Sleep is such a recooperative process and denying yourself a good night's rest is only going to cause more problems down the road.  The one thing I never understood though is why children shouldn't be afforded that same level of luxury when it comes to their bedding and linens.

Naturepedic is the first and only mattress company to specialize exclusively in the design and manufacturing of infant and children's mattresses that promote natural and organic materials, a non-toxic design, fire-safety, and baby health.  All Naturepedic natural and organic mattresses have been designed with the help of pediatricians, orthopedic specialists, chemists, and engineers.  I recently had the chance to review a 100% organic cotton quilted mattress topper for Riley's twin-sized bed.  Keep reading to learn much more!

I reviewed the Organic Cotton Quilted Mattress Topper in Twin from Naturepedic which retails for $99.00 with FREE SHIPPING.

The WigglesEver since my daughter was old enough to begin watching children's television, she's loved The Wiggles...and she's definitely not alone.  The Wiggles are the world's #1 preschool entertainers and have performed over 350 shows to more than 1.5 million fans since 2005 in the United States alone.  They are seen on TV in over 120 countries worldwide.

Beginning July 7, 2012, fans can also watch The Wiggles on NBC’s new Saturday morning preschool block, NBC Kids. The Wiggles have sold more than 23 million DVDs and videos, 7 million CDs and 8 million books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

A few years ago, we attended our first Wiggly concert together and loved every minute of it.  That's why I was psyched to hear that The Wiggles would be stopping through Houston, Texas again for their farewell tour.  This is the last opportunity to see all four original Wiggles in concert.  Keep reading to learn more!

Prices range from $18.50 - $78.50 (additional facility fees, service charges and $.50 donation to Reach Out and Read may apply).

Tickets for Houston are on sale now and are available through all Ticketmaster locations.

Chalk City So how many times do you expect to hear this infamous line from your kids this summer?  "Mom, I'm BORED!"  Summertime is a great season for kids to get out and about and explore the world around them, but oftentimes, they spend these months complaining that there's nothing to do.

Before you turn on the TV or allow them to play video games or surf the net, how about challenging them both mentally and physically to create something FUN...a Chalk City!  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Chalk City Activity Kit which retails for $49.99, but is currently on sale for $39.99 with FREE SHIPPING.
