High Sierra Sport Review and Giveaway

CLOSED
Hi Neighbors,

I thought while we were At the Fence this time, maybe we could play a little game with this one. We are doing a Scavenger Hunt! High Sierra Sport sent me this really great backpack for review. It is called a Swerve, and has sooooo many pockets. It has mesh pockets on the side to hold a water bottle. Inside the first zippered compartment on the front there are several varying sized pockets to carry pens, change, etc. There is also a detachable key fob. Then there are 2 zippered compartments where you could carry books, notebooks, gym clothes, etc. The first of these 2 has a smaller pocket where you could put an Ipod or MP3 player, as there is access to the outside for your headphones or earbud wire. Next is a small zippered pocket that would hold a wallet or change purse. There is one more large divided compartment that once again could hold books, notebooks, etc. The very last zippered compartment is padded to hold a laptop. This backpack is very well made. It has nicely padded shoulder straps with thumb-ring pulls and a very sturdy handle at the top. You can check their description here. This is definitely a company to share At the Fence with my neighbors. They carry so many different bags in so many different shapes and sizes. They are sure to have a bag that suits your needs.




Now, pay attention. This giveaway is going to be run a little different than normal. There will be one mandatory entry and then the rest is going to be set up like a scavenger hunt. You may do as much or as little as you like and I will still use random.org to choose a winner. Each question or requirement for the scavenger hunt will equal 1 entry/1 comment. Please do not put more than one answer per comment as I will only count it as one. Also this requires your honesty. DO NOT look at someone else's entries to get your answers.

High Sierra Sport is going to send the winner of this giveaway a random backpack chosen by High Sierra Sport.
CLOSED
Mandatory Entry: Go to High Sierra Sport and come back and leave a comment letting me know which backpack you are interested in. You do not have to be a blogger to enter, but you MUST leave a valid email where I can contact you should you win. This giveaway will end 5/6 at 11:59 pm CST. I will use random.org to choose a winner who will then be notified by email. Please respond within 48 hours, or I will choose a new winner.

Let the Scavenger Hunt begin. (Remember leave a comment HERE for each item you complete.) If possible include the number you are completing.

1. What Olympic team does High Sierra Sport suppliy equipment to? (Leave a comment)

2. Go to High Sierra Sport Facebook page (become a fan) and leave a comment regarding why you appreciate them supporting one of the groups in giving back to the community. You can find the list here. This is worth 2 entries, so leave 2 comments.

Oh, whoops, let me post again, this time including my email address. :-)

Oh, cool, a scavanger hunt! I will be honest and not check other people's answers, promise. I'm typing my answers into notepad right now and will post them when I'm done...that way I'll have no chance of accidentally seeing someone else's answers.

I'd love to win this backpack for my nephew, who's going to college in the fall. :-)

Mandatory entry: I love the Black Stalwart backpack. The Rupert is cool, too!

Thank you for the giveaway!

5. You could use a High Sierra bag for lugging heavy books (and/or a laptop) around at university, which is the activity for which I'm hoping to win the bag for my nephew. A High Sierra bag would also be great for carrying supplies while hiking/camping.

6. I watched the High Sierra Guide 3200 Backpack Overview, and also the Guide 3200 Internal Frame Pack Additional Features demo video. They stressed how it gives quick access to equipment, the loops to hook on your skis, and that it's small size would be helpful for small trips/backpacking. There is a built-in raincover, which would help for checking the bag as luggage, and there's even a pack for goggles! It is also hydration-friendly. Cool bag. :-)

15. I really want to win this for my nephew, because he's going off to college to become an art student in the fall, and I think he could really use a good backpack. Especially one that will fit the MacBook Pro he's going to need to buy for school (it's a requirement of his art program!)

Thank you for the scavenger hunt - that was fun! I'll tweet every day, too. :-)

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
