Small Town American Business

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

I grew up just outside a small American town and now I live in another one.  Part of the charm of living in a small town is having some local places to shop.  Many small shops have more character than the big box stores.  Sadly, many local stores are being run out of business or forced to move to suburb like strip malls to remain in business.

Rambler’s Way Farm is changing the way America does business.  Their product line of fine woolen materials is one hundred percent domestic run.  All of their resources are from small town America.  Small local manufacturing companies, local farmers and local corporate offices help Rambler’s Way Farm succeed and thrive.

The corporate office originally built in 1792 has even achieved the coveted Gold Lead Certification Level.  Receiving this award makes a great contribution to following high environmental standards.  You can find the office in downtown Kennebunk, Maine.

The woolen products that are Made in America make great gifts while supporting a local business. Take a stand and send the message to support local American made products while helping provide jobs for American workers.

Chain Of Friends Sweepstakes

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

 Have you heard of the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes?  You could win an entire hotel for a weekend.  That is one hundred rooms for two nights.  How much fun would it be to have a family reunion or just get all of your friends together for a weekend of fun by the poolside or just touring some new location.  Isn’t that a great Grand Prize! 

Also, one hundred first prize winners will win a stay at a Hampton hotel for themselves and three of their friends.

If I won the grand prize I would book rooms for my family and the families of a group of friends that have a Christian band.  Then I would just fill the hotel with people I knew would enjoy the music and have a blast with a concert that would run really late into the evening. 

My other option would be to have a really large Boy Scout lock in.  I can about imagine the boys would fill the pool and we would have movies and games set up in a conference area.  I think it would be a lot of fun to just wear out the boys without any expense of staying over night.  While I love camping sometimes getting away and not pitching a tent sounds good.

This sweepstakes is open to everyone so make sure to enter.

Fun Gift Ideas

Do you know an infomercial junkie?  Maybe you are one yourself.  Well I have a website for you.  Taylor Gifts has a huge selection of those great as seen on TV. You can also find several gadgets that you likely didn’t know existed.  I can find several items quickly that would be handy for me or things I know some of my friends would love.  For instance I drink a lot of tea and my cupboard is likely to have at least six flavors in it at all times.  I sure could use this handy tea bag storage system to declutter my cupboard.
