ABBA You Can Dance by Ubisoft for Wii Video Game Review

I knew this game was going to be fun since it is from the creators of Just Dance, a favorite for me! At first I thought who is ABBA? As soon as I heard some of the songs that I recognized I thought oh hey thats so famous. Funny how you can know the lyrics to a song and have no clue who sings it. Well now I do! 

I had fun dancing along to ABBA You Can Dance to the songs like Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and Take a Chance on Me.  I wish my sisters and Mom were here to play this one with me, it would be epic! Maybe this summer we can have a dance off! This game was great since it had three different playing modes. For the Karaoke Mode you need a Wii microphone that we dont have but it really makes me want to get one. Karaoke sounds so fun!

You Can Dance
Unleash your inner dancing queen and play for fun or to set a new top score to challenge yourself and others. Play any way you want with up to four friends.

Mini-Musical
Perform a story through the music of ABBA! Experience the magic as you play a role in a mini-musical of ABBA’s songs.

Karaoke Mode
Up to two additional friends can join in on vocals. Simply follow along with the on-screen lyrics.

*I was not paid for our review. The opinions are 100% mine and may vary from others. I was provided the game in this post to review for free from the PR company that represents them.

Gortons Seafood Grill Your Way To Gorgeous Contest and Blog Giveaway

As Gorton's Seafood fans in our family we are always eager to try the new products they make. The grilled seafood is amazing. This year I have told myself to do a few simple things to cut calories and be more healthy. Eating grilled instead of breaded is a simple way to do that. I enjoy Tilapia fish so I tried the grilled one made by Gorton's. It was really good. I enjoy white fish and the grilled enhanced the delicious flavor. My son is a Salmon kid, thankfully so, and I picked out the grilled Salmon and served it with green beans and rice. He ate part of it but I think he was being picky that night. The next day I put it in a wrap with lettuce and it was great!

My son does LOVE the fish sticks. My boy would eat them almost daily if I would let him. He even asks me for it he says "Fish Mama!" So cute. He even eats fish sticks while watching Nemo or Sharktale. This week we were watching Sharktale and he pointed to the screen and his food delightfully declaring FISH! Hes sooooo cute!

Pacifica Pillar Candles Review and Giveaway

Pacifica is a company that sells beautiful candles, bath and body products, perfumes and more. With fragrance names like Brazilian Mango Grapefruit, Indian Coconut Nectar, and Mexican Cocoa, I would love to try them all.

For our review I was sent pillar candles in Tahitian Gardenia fragrance and Sandalwood fragrance. Their candles are hand poured made with parafin wax and lead-free wicks. The Tahitian Gardenia candle was heavenly. It scented my whole bedroom without overpowering it, like some scented candles can do. The site describes it as "sweet, smooth and slightly citrusy aroma is reminiscent of Jasmine, Sweet Orange and Tea Leaves".

The Sandalwood fragrance candle was also wonderful, smelling woodsy and earthy. I love having scented candles throughout the house and these are definitely very nice. The site describes it as "woody blend, tempered by slightly sweet top notes of Tangerine, Sweet Orange and Mandarin".

Pacifica offers gift sets, value sets, and very handy e-gift certificates. The packaging on all of their products is very attractive and would make a great Valentine's Day gift. If you are looking for something special for yourself, for your home or that person who is your own Valentine, visit the Pacifica website at Pacifica.com.
