Family Taco Night (giveaway)

**Contest Closed**
Winner is #43 Shirley~ Congratulations!

I don't know about you but our family loves to have family taco night at least every 4-6 weeks. It's a fun way to get everyone to sit together, chat and share some good laughs while keeping the cost low. I received a "family taco night" prize pack that included a packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, a Cactus Chip & Dip Serving dish, a set of 3 Fiesta Chili Pepper serving dishes and a $10 gift card to purchase our taco fixings.

We went with the Old El Paso Gordita dinner kit and also the Old El Paso traditional soft taco tortillas. You can go here to print a coupon for $0.60 off any two Old El Paso products.
I used some chicken tenders that I sliced thinly and cooked it according to the seasoning packet instructions. I added a handful of fresh chopped cilantro for extra flavor and it came out perfect.
My family sticks to the traditional toppings like shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, a mixture of shredded cheeses and some ranch sauce (included in the dinner kit I purchased).
Here is the finished product. They came out so tasty and was ready in about 20 minutes. We all sat at the table and joked around a good bit. I used to work at a fast food taco joint when I was younger so my husband had great fun talking about old times :)

He is so annoyed with me :)

Remember back when I posted this? If you have been reading Momfiles long enough then you know how proud Dwayne is of being a manly man. He was so annoyed today when I took out this raspberry shirt for him to wear to work. You should have heard all of his snarky comments haha! He was even more irritated with the name of the color. He was like " Now that's some bull%@(^!"

Unusual gift idea

Look at this cute Melamine plate (without the cookies :D) I received to review from Expressionery. They just launched these new plates today and they are available for $25 retail and are personalizable, from a single initial to a name or phrase depending on what design you choose. I think these plates are a great and unique gift idea especially for the person who "has it all". I wish these were available for my daughter when she turned 16. It would have been a neat way for her to have a sweet sixteen keepsake. These melamine plates are dishwasher safe (not microwavable) and will last for a very long time. I like the idea of giving this as a hostess gift with the recipient's initials or for bridal/baby showers, birthdays and more.

I totally have my eye on this giraffe design plate. How cute is that? There are so many others to choose from. I think my mother-in-law would love one of these from the grand kids for Christmas. Knowing her she would never want to use it, just display it.

Does this happen to you?

You know how it is said that the average person loses over 100 strands of hair each day? Well I think it is true in my case. How in the world do I shed like I do yet still have a full head of thick, healthy hair? I don't get it. Also is it just me or do you get all sneezy and sick feeling when you are in a room of sick people? Do you take on symptoms even if you are not really sick? I must be paranoid or something! I was in the same space as someone who was coughing and I really felt a cough coming on. Now today of course I am perfectly fine :) Crazy me....

Halo SleepSack Swaddle Giveaway

**Contest Closed**
Winner is #17 Shelly- Congratulations!

I received this sweet little 2-in-1 wearable blanket/swaddle blanket from a mom blog gift that came to me in the mail. I don't have a little newborn to use it on so I decided it would be great to give it away to someone who can use it. It's cream in color and is made of a fleece material in newborn size. It's perfect for the cooler weather that is coming (if it has not already gotten to your neck of the woods). I loved using a swaddle blanket with William when he was teeny tiny.
