After a beautiful week last week it started turning a lot cooler this week.  It’s starting to feel more like a normal Pennsylvania November now.  As the colder weather nears it reminds me that I need to work on the kids’ Christmas lists. It also reminds me that I better make sure all the kids have proper winter gear that fits (they grow like weeds don’t they?) My 2 older boys like wearing their boots to school so they have to have “the look” but I need them to also actually keep their feet warm and have good tread for the winter.  Also wouldn’t hurt if they were as tough a my boys are.  Then there’s my husband who goes through a pair of work boots about every 6 months.

My oldest said his boots still fit, my youngest son has about 3 pair to choose from so it came down to my 11 year old to get a new pair of boots. When he heard it was going to be Lugz, all of a sudden my 13 year old starting putting on a dramatic performance of how his boots might not last much longer.  My 11 year old NEEDED the boots though so that’s who got first in que for the winter clothing replenishment.

My son received his Lugz in the mail.  He proudly showed them off to everyone in the house.  He put them on right away and walked around the house in them for a while.  He chose the Scavenger Ballistic in the color black. The Lugz Scavenger Ballistic is made for comfort. Insulated, Ballistic nylon upper, padded tongue and collar, cushioned insoles, and rubber outsoles.  They’re nice looking boots.  My oldest son said “Awe man you’re so lucky” when he saw his boots.  My husband (quite particular about his own boots) said he really liked the boots as well.  When I asked my son if they were comfortable he said “oh yea!”.  The boots seemed to give him an air of confidence too.  I mean look at this pose he struck when taking pics

I don’t know if anyone else out there has boys that do this but my 2 oldest boys fight me about wearing long pants.  They’ll wear shorts if it’s 10 degrees outside.  I do put up a fight when it gets below 30 and I normally win. This pic here is probably how you’ll actually see my son wearing his boots if he has his way.

I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review. This post is intended for those 21 years of age and older.

Sometimes we have those weeks. You know the ones where you had a rough week at work, the kids seemed extra hyper, you clean the house and it seems an hour later it looks like you never touched it?  At the end of one of those weeks I put the kids to bed, I’ll light a candle, pour myself a glass of wine and just enjoy the silence for 20 minutes or so.  My time out.

I’m not opposed to trying different wines.  I’ve tried a few.  So when Mommy’s Time Out wines asked if I’d like to review a bottle of wine, well it just seemed like perfect timing to me.

Mommy’s Time Out is a line of affordable wines made from Italian Grapes.  They believe Mommy’s Time Out is a well deserved break.  I myself prefer a semi-dry or possibly semi-sweet wine.  When they asked me to choose one that proved to be a little harder than it should have been for me.  They all sounded great but i decided to go with the Garganega Pinot Grigio.

This wine was a good choice for me. Just a little tart, crisp, refreshing wine.  Was the perfect thing for my Mommy Time Out.  Since it’s an affordable wine (looking online most places are selling for less than $10 a bottle), this would make a nice affordable gift for a friend, wife, or coworker.

When I received my bottle it came in a nice gift bag.

They also have Daddy’s Day Out and First Rate Old Fart Red for the guys in your life. Who do you know that would love a bottle of wine as a gift? I can think of at least one of my friends who would love this.
