Firebirds Grill Recap and Giveaway

If you read our blog or our Twitter feed you already know Melinda and I are huge fans of Firebirds Grill.  There is one very close to our house in Delaware that we often frequent for dinner or to just enjoy happy hour.

Recently we were asked to overview a new location in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania that has been open for about a month now.  Like I mentioned we are huge fans so of course we took Firebirds up on the offer and took the whole family to the Chadds Ford, PA location for a very nice Friday night dinner.

The Chadds Ford location is very similar to the one in Delaware which is nice because I do enjoy that feeling of comfort I get when I walk into Firebirds Grill.  Once we were seated I went to the bar to get a beer for myself and water for Shaun as he wasn’t feeling well from the car ride.  Funny thing is when I went to the bar the gentlemen who served me remembered me from the Delaware location.  Now is that a good or bad thing?  I will let you decide, LOL.  After we sat down it took a little while for our server to come over but I attribute that to two things: one is was 7pm on a Friday night and two when we went for dinner this location was only open for ten days so the staff was probably still trying to get a feel for everything.  When our server arrived it was the same server we had last time Melinda and I went to Firebirds in Delaware just a few weeks earlier.  Now I am going to be honest here I am starting to feel like Norm from Cheers.  We go to Firebirds so often they are going to know Melinda and I on a first name basis.

The kids were starving so we ordered the ranch rings and the lobster spinach queso as appetizers.  These two appetizers are my two favorites.  After we devoured that we moved on to dinner.  I ordered the bleu cheese filet, Melinda ordered the ribeye, Sabreena ordered the crusted flounder special and the kids ordered pasta from the kids menu.  Every meal we order was awesome.  This is now the second time that I have had the blue cheese filet and yes it is because it is that good.  Another thing I order often but not on this visit is the buffalo meatloaf.  Trust me when I say this is better than your mom’s meatloaf and something you must try when you visit Firebirds.  To be honest with you Melinda and I have been to Firebirds over 15 times in the last year and I can say that we have not had a meal that we haven’t loved.   After dinner we order dessert because there is no way the kids would let us leave without dessert.  I ordered the carrot cake, Melinda ordered key lime pie, Sabreena and Shaun shared the big daddy chocolate cake and Shae ordered a kids sundae.  All of the desserts were great and things that I would definitely order again.

a family dinner at Firebirds

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Firebirds Grill make sure you do.  The atmosphere is upscale but inviting the service is great and the food is out of this world.  Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed with anything you order and if you are let them know because they strive to make sure every guest is 100% satisfied.

I am happy to say that Firebirds Grill has been nice enough to offer one Look What Mom…and Dad too!  reader a chance to win a $50 Firebirds Grill gift card.  Head over to Firebirds Grill and tell me one thing you would have to try if you ever visited Firebirds.

Protect yourself using Swingline Stack and Shred and Giveaway

I don’t know about you but we have piles and piles of receipts, warranties, purchase orders, instruction manuals, statements and other forms of paper from accounts and purchases made over the last 10 years. Recently we were able to dwindle this pile down to something that makes sense.

After reading dates and contracts we kept what was needed and properly disposed of the rest using the Swingline Stack and Shred Shredder. Every home should contain a shredder. Its really the only safe way to dispose of credit card statements, past utility bills and other important identifying materials.
swingline-shredder
The Swingline Stack and Shred allows users to stuff up to 100 sheets of papers into the hatch, close the door and come back to a shredded mess in the attached waste basket. The size of the Stack and Shred is small enough to fit under a desk without being in the way. Since we don’t have a dedicated office space this stays in the garage with the filing cabinet and office supplies; it just makes sense that way for now.
With the holidays and New Year coming up we all have finances to deal with. Whether it’s shopping or pulling together documents for tax time or disposing of junk mail you should take the extra moments to protect yourself against identity theft.

Win a Swingline Stack and Shred Shredder ($250 value) from LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Let me know how you handle your junk mail and old receipts.

Digital Artistry with Nomad Brushes

I am very far from being any kind of artist. I’m more of what one would call a crafter. Sabreena on the other hand is the artist and every year we head to the supply stores to stock up on basics and other “ingredients” for projects. Artistry isn’t a very mobile hobby though. What happens when inspiration strikes in the car or visiting the grandparents?

With all the mobile devices at our fingertips Sabreena can virtual draw anytime she wants. The Nomad brushes we recently received went right to Sabreena and she’s been “painting” ever since.

Nomad Brushes were invented by artist Don Lee. After receiving an iPad as a gift and delving right into his digital scrapbook he knew something was needed. The feel of his finger rubbing across a glass screen wasn’t right. He searched for that just right tool but never found it. The Nomad Brush is his gift to the world of digital artistry. There is nothing mechanical about the brush it all about giving the user a more authentic feel while creating. An addition to the Long and Short bristle brushes is a Mini; perfect for smart phones/iPods.

The Nomad Brush is perfect for almost any touchscreen device such as iPad, iPod, Android phones and Galaxy tablets. The brushes require no care except keep them in good condition, do not flatten or crush bristles. A cover or cap would’ve been a great addition so the brush can be tossed into a purse or bag along with the device.

Three (3) LookWhatMomFound.and Dad too! readers will win a Nomad Brush. Tell me what device and APP you use for digital sketching, drawing or painting.

Genie SilentMax 1000 Garage Door Opener

About two weeks ago our garage door opener finally called it quits which was a blessing in disguise. Our handheld garage door openers haven’t worked in over a year so I wasn’t to upset when the opener stopped working as well. Luckily about a week or so before the garage door opener quit I was offered the opportunity to analyse the Genie SilentMax 1000.

We have been using the SilentMAx 100 for about two weeks and one of my favorite things is how quiet it is. Our old garage door opener was so loud that you could hear it in the living room when the garage door would open but no more. I also like the wireless keypad that I installed outside the garage door so I don’t need to go inside the house or have my remote to open the door.

Another cool feature of the Genie SilentMax 1000 is the network adapter that allows the remote that is in Melinda’s car to beep and blink green once closed or red if not closed. This is a cool feature because as we are pulling away from the house we have the comfort knowing that the garage door closed properly.

The Genie SilentMax 1000 comes with a ¾ HPc 140 Volt DC motor, two 100 Watt bulb lighting system and push button programming which makes set up fast and easy. If you want the full list of things that the Genie SilentMax 100 has to offer you can get more information and specification HERE at the SilentMax 1000 product page.

If you need assistance installing your new Genie opener you can locate a dealer HERE.  If you are like me and will be installing the opener on your own and need additional video instructions click HERE.

Are you in need of a new garage door opener?  If so today is your lucky day because one lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too reader will win a Genie SilentMax 1000 of their own.  All you have to do it tell me what brand garage door opener you currently have and how old it is.

Tis the season to start lighting candles plus giveaway

I’m going to just say it; the holidays are right around the corner. Candles are a staple in our home to get in the festive mood. Candles are also a top gift for many people on our nice list. Candle Warmers sent us a great collection of products to kick start the cool weather that’s coming.

We’ve already lit Santa’s Cookies; a Jamie Clair wicked jar candle.

It smells great and what I love is it’s large and is going to last for a couple months. Another product I really like and look forward to utilizing this winter is the Ceramic Candle Warmer Lantern. Using a halogen bulb gently warms wax and releases it’s aroma. There is no liquid wax, no flame and no soot; a perfect solution when you want a delicious scent all day.

Not just Celebs Shop The Children’s Place plus Giveaway

The fall is here and that means it’s time to break out sweaters, scarves and closed toe shoes; just the things to keep the chill away. Shae is a hat fanatic and when I saw The Children’s Place Owl hat I knew I had to get it.

They have a whole collection of fun knit animal hats and animal graphic tees for boys. Attached you’ll see the LA pre-Emmy’s event where stars from every level were picking up their favorites.

Maria Canals Barrera (mom from Wizards of Waverly Place)

Melissa McCarthy (Mike and Molly)

Aidan Quinn from Desperately Seeking Susan and Prime Suspect

You don’t have to be a celebrity to shop The Children’s Place though; their prices are great for everyone. Each year we do Shaun’s back to school shopping and stock up on basics for Shae. Even when Sabreena was little the majority of her clothing came from Children’s Place.  Growing up I remember shopping at The Gallery in Center City Philadelphia and The Children’s Place had a slide and climber to keep the kids occupied as parents shopped.

Don’t forget! The Children’s Place has kids and baby costumes too.

Frankenstein can be cute

Get your own Children’s Place gear here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! A reader will will win a critter hat or graphic tee of their choice (based on availability). Let me know if you’ve purchased Children’s Place clothing and accessories in the past.
