Lots and Lots of Winners!
First of all, let me apologize for not being on top of my winners and giveaways, postings, and especially I forgot to post my blog hop on Monday. After 5 years of being a stay at home mommy, I am back in the work force and went back to work at my old job last week. I am covering for a friend of mine who is pretty sick and is undergoing tests right now to see if she is more sick than she thinks so to speak. I have been getting up for work around 4:30am and heading off to work at 6am for 8 hours before having to come home and do all of the housework, laundry, etc. Being a stay at home mommy for so long, you develop a regular schedule, almost like a job, where you know which days you do laundry, bathroom cleaning, housecleaning, etc and when that schedule gets interrupted so to speak, it is sometimes hard to catch up. My apologies to my valuable readers and sponsors who have entrusted me to do their product reviews and giveaways. I will do my best to get caught up here!

Road Kill T Shirts Review and Giveaway
I love finding new places to get t shirts, especially this time of the year when that is all that I wear, well that and tank tops. T Shirts are a fun way to express yourself depending on whether you like funny sayings or are a sports fanatic and love to show pride for your favorite teams like my whole family and I like to do. Every Sunday in the fall during football season, hubby wears his faithful Detroit Lions t-shirt, the oldest has on her Lions gear and me, well I am a die hard Indianapolis Colts fans so that's when the Peyton Manning gear comes on. Hubby also loves to wear his Michigan tee on Saturday game days. Whether you like the simple, plain colored t shirt, the tees that have sayings on them or maybe promote a company or cause that you are really into, or just an oversized cool and comfortable t shirt, you can always look and feel your best whatever your style. I love looking online to find great new t shirts not only for myself but hubby and the girls as well. I recently found a great place that sells those hard to get, funny sayings and colorful t shirts that everyone loves to wear and get for others.
Roadkill T-Shirts specializes in funny t shirts and they have a ton for you to choose from, over 2,000! I was sent a wonderful tee with the saying "I Love Me and You Should Too!" Let me tell you, I wear this t-shirt everywhere lately, it is so comfortable. I can't tell you how many people have read my shirt and smiled after doing so. When I was asked to do the review and I went to look through their vast inventory of t-shirts, this shirt caught my eye right away. I love the color, which was almost a baby blue color, and the whole quality of the shirt overall is really amazing. Like I said, I have worn it several times which means I have washed it several times and the color and writing on the shirt is as new as when I first got it. If you have a taste for either funny, offensive, political, or absolutely ridiculous t-shirts, then Road Kill T Shirts is definitely the place to go. I can't wait to order another tee or two for myself as well as a couple for the hubby. He was looking over the site and saw at least a dozen that he would love to have. All of the designs that you see on the Road Kill T-Shirts website are available in a wide range of colors, styles, and sizes and are not just limited to what they have in stock. That is really great to know, because you can always get what you want to suit your needs and style. I also love that my shirt is made of extra super soft cotton and does not shrink even after repeated washings. There is a lot of great quality in the t shirts coming from Road Kill T Shirts.
Road Kill T-Shirts start at $14.99 and some are even $10 through their sales. They are always having specials so check the website often. They also have over 1,200 designs, you can get your shirts custom made, you choose the style and colors. Road Kill T-Shirts run from size small all the way up to 10X, so everyone in every body type can find a great and comfortable fitting tee. They are 100% cotton t-shirts and are heavy duty and professionally silk-screened. The majority of the shirts from Road Kill T Shirts are Gilden but they may also carry a comparable item from Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Anvil, Bella,or Jerzeez, and they also now carry American Apparel, a truly great fit and style of tee. You can also get a Grab Bag of FOUR T-Shirts for just $20, what a great deal!

BKW Seasonings Review and Giveaway
We love to grill around our house especially in the summertime. I know I have said it before, but hubby is the "Grillmaster". He is always coming up with new ways to cook meat, whether it be a new marinade or a new creation of spice blends and rubs, he is always looking for new ways to perk up the flavor of anything and everything he cooks. There are so many great alternatives in the stores nowadays, from delicious barbecue sauces, to savory marinades that take either 30 minutes or all day, to different blends of spices and rubs, you are always sure to find something new to try and something to satisfy your taste buds.
I recently ran across a great company called BKW Seasonings that has a wonderful selection of gourmet seasonings blends to make your meats, veggies and more flavorful and absolutely fabulous. You can experience the truly unique flavor of a seasoning from BKW Seasonings. I was lucky enough to get the chance to review two of their great seasonings: the Big Kahuna Original Light Blend and the Big Kahuna Barbecue Rub. Let me tell you, when I informed the hubby of this review, he was very excited and actually helped me to pick out the seasonings that he would most like to try. After choosing, he was running things in his mind that he would like to try these on such as pork chops, chicken, ribs, veggies, corn on the cob and the list went on and on. When we received them, we actually opened each bottle and you got the wonderful aroma of all of the herbs and spices that were included in this bottle, it was definitely a delicious and intoxicating aroma to say the least. We use the Big Kahuna Original Light Blend on everything, OK almost everything we cook whether inside or outside. This is a versatile all-purpose blend that brings out the true flavor of all foods and I have to agree. We have used it to spice up hamburger for Hamburger Helper, we have used it to spice up chicken that we have thrown on the grill, heck the other night we used it on some fresh popped popcorn and that was a pure treat. You can feel good about using this Original Light Blend because it contains no MSG as well, so it not only tastes good, but it's really good for you too. The Big Kahuna Barbecue Rub is wonderful for my grilled chicken and perfect for pork chops but hubby really loved it on ribs. The unique blends of spices is really full of flavor and packs that extra punch. This is delicious as a rub or combined with a favorite barbecue sauce for extra flavor. I absolutely can't wait to try all of the other spice blends from BKW Seasonings and have told all of my friends and family that if they were looking for a great and easy way to season their food, they have to give all of these a try, they will be as impressed as I was.
BKW Seasonings is a family-owned business. Originating in the early 1960's, BKW Seasonings has been satisfying taste buds for over 40 years. The seasoning was created to produce a unique buffalo-style wing that their family has used for years cooking wings for their friends and customers at football games, parties, and gatherings.
In 1997, they opened a small take-out restaurant near the University of Tennessee campus called Big Kahuna Wings. Just two weeks after opening, BKW competed with twenty-nine local, regional, and national wing restaurants including Hooters, Spicy's, and Buffalo Wild Wings, among others and was voted BEST WINGS in Knoxville at the annual "War of the Wings". The Big Kahuna legend was born.
While operating the restaurant, BKW experimented with the seasoning and found it to be exceptionally good to bring out the true flavor in almost any food. Steaks, hamburgers, pork, fish, vegetables, and many other foods have proven to be excellent with the addition of their seasoning. The result was the creation of the Big Kahuna Original Gourmet Blend. When you try their belnds, they believe you will agree..it is the most unique seasoning to ever hit the market and it's uses are endless!
You can find BKW Seasonings at select stores such as Winn Dixie,Food City, Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter, plus several Fresh Markets and other independent retailers, but you can also order individual bottle or gift packs HERE. For more information and to check out all of the delicious blends that BKW Seasonings has to offer, please head over HERE.
