Oregon Chai Tea Giveaway {3 Winners}

2012-01-28T11:41:00.002-06:00

What do we have here? As I type this post, it is a snowy and cold day…. a winter mix to be exact, so there's even some ice out. What better way to relax throughout the day, than with a nice cup of tea?? Oregon Chai has created some NEW tea bags! The NEW Oregon Chai tea bag flavors are:

The Original- Take this tea steeped in Eastern tradition and brew your own, new traditions. With a magical blend of Assam black tea and authentic chai spices like ginger, clove, cardamom, cinnamon and anise, The Original™ Chai Tea will delight your taste buds any time of day.

Energía- We took our authentic chai spices to new altitudes in an exhilarating herbal infusion of Yerba Maté and Guayusa, two naturally caffeinated, highly energizing botanicals native to South America. It’s sure to open your eyes and focus your mind (or vice versa).

Dreamscape- Authentic chai spices have found their bliss in this dreamy herbal infusion of Rooibos and Honeybush, two naturally caffeine-free botanicals grown high in the mountains of South Africa. This sweetly soothing blend is the perfect choice to bring you back down to earth—or send you off to dreamland.

Oregon Chai has provided lots of comfort with their organic and natural ingredients used in most of their products!

My favorite?? The Dreamscape tea, of course! I've always been a fan of nice, rich, soothing teas… particularly after a long day at work and with the kids. This was a great touch to add to my night and I was an instant fan! My husband obviously, loved the Energía tea… he's an "up and at 'em"… "go get 'em" type of guy anyway, lol!

WIN IT NOW- 3 lucky The King's Court IV readers will win an Oregon Chai Tea Prize Pack {includes the NEW teas: The Original, Energía and Dreamscape}!

A Touch of Christian Inspiration with DaySpring!

2012-01-24T10:00:00.004-06:00

Some of you may have already heard of this company, but I stumbled across it recently and fell in love. With the New Year upon us and with the troubles of 2011 still lurking, I wanted to freshen up the house with little touches of spiritual inspiration and guidance. DaySpring is a great "go to" spot for Christian greeting cards as well as other Christian items of inspiration and encouragement!

I happened upon these cute Charcoal Wall Art pieces that I thought would be a great addition to my dining room...

Since these were reasonably priced (and I found a discount code--of course!), I took the plunge and ordered them! Check them out....

Since they were 12x12 pictures, they were a great fit for the space and could be easily read by all. It looks great and is just the uplifting touch we needed!

Homemade Sausage & Egg McMuffins

2012-01-23T10:00:00.002-06:00

We recently tried our hands at creating our very own Egg McMuffins at home! Since we don't eat pork and are always looking at cutting costs, we found a successful way to make it work! These are good for freezing too... just moisten with water/pop them in the microwave and there you have it! This recipe is good for 12 sandwiches (just enough for us to enjoy some and freeze the rest).

Sausage & Egg McMuffins

1 dozen eggs

12 English Muffins

2 packages Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Patties (you'll have some leftover)

1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

butter

non-stick cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cupcake/muffin tin and crack one egg into each muffin space. Add a little salt and pepper to each. Bake for roughly 20 minutes. Once done, set aside.

On a flat top griddle, add a little butter and toast the English Muffins. Once browned, you can begin to assemble the sandwich!

Simply add the shredded cheese (to your liking) to the base of the English Muffin. Add the sausage, the baked egg, and Muffin Top. *We even like to add some preserves or apple butter too!

"The Big Year" DVD Giveaway

2012-01-21T09:54:00.002-06:00

The Big Year

Rating: PG

Available on Blu-ray and DVD: January 31st

Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson portray three men from very different walks of life, facing a mid-life crisis, a work-life crisis and a no-life crisis. In the biggest competition of their lives, they undertake an unforgettable trek through North America, engaging in hilarious and bizarre adventures and forming friendships that will last a lifetime!

Check out their Beginners’ Guide to Birding too …

Online Field Guides- Many hardcore birders like to have physical field guides that they can take with them, and many people employ the use of regional field guides, as they offer more specific advice. As you are starting your birding adventure, try using a site like http://www.whatbird.com/, which allows you to search for species in many different ways (including by region and by appearance). What Bird also has handy apps for e-readers and smart phones, which allow you to access their immense database on the go!

Binoculars- If you want to get serious about birding, you need a proper pair of binoculars. When you’re searching for your first pair, you need to pay attention to seven things: magnification, objective lens size, close focus, field of view, roof vs. porro prism, eye relief, and the 3 Ws (weight, waterproof and warranty). Go to http://store.onlinenaturemall.com/article-binoculars.html for help choosing the type of binoculars that are right for you, as well as suggestions on where to buy them for the best price.

Regional Checklists- The best way to start birding is to observe (and learn to recognize) the birds in your own backyard! To do this, you should consult a checklist of the birds that appear in your region. One of the best sites to visit when looking for information on species in your region is http://www.wildbirds.com/FindBirds/StateProvinceChecklistsatWildBirdscom/tabid/198/Default.aspx. Wild Birds has each state in a United States (as well as most of Canada) represented on their site, with comprehensive checklists, reading lists and relevant links included.

Birding Buddies- The best way to find a buddy to bird with is to join different groups for birding enthusiasts. Two of the largest birding organizations in the United States are the American Birding Association and the National Audubon Society. Each of these larger, national organizations can steer you towards either region-specific sectors of their organization, or smaller birding clubs in your area. You could also use http://www.Meetup.com to find birders in your area, and local events or trips to take part in.

Funny, funny, funny! How can you really go wrong with the likes of Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson?!? In need of a pick me up?? Definitely check this movie out!

WIN IT NOW- 1 lucky The King's Court IV reader will win a copy of The Big Year on DVD!

1. Follow The King's Court IV via email and leave a comment letting me know you are a CONFIRMED subscriber.

2. Become a GFC Follower! Leave a comment on this post letting me know that you are/have become a follower.

Frugal Tips: Putting Cable Money to Better Use

2012-01-20T12:00:00.002-06:00

This week's frugal tips and Guest Post comes from Holly...

You might not think it possible, but it's pretty easy to live without cable. While you can find plenty of entertaining, interesting, and even educational programs to watch, cable can be a financial drain that finds you sitting in front of the television slack-jawed and wondering just when you got trapped in a "Real Housewives" marathon. Here are five things you can do with the money you were spending after the cable box and remote have been returned to their original home.

1. Save

Perhaps the easiest tip on this list, take the money you're not shelling out for cable and drop it into a savings account, certificate of deposit, or individual retirement account (a.k.a. IRA). The average cost of cable, without extras, is $50/month. By the end of the year, with no additional effort on your part, you'll have saved $600. While you won't be running out in December to buy a yacht, that money can really add up for entertainment purposes, dinners out, or college tuition.

2. Gym membership

A membership at a nice gym can set a single person back a nice chunk of change and even more so should you be interested in a family membership. Use your newfound wealth to start hitting the gym more often, to purchase equipment like side-by-side ellipticals or treadmills for your at-home gym, or to schedule sessions with a personal trainer.

3. Arts and crafts

The well-known adage of the starving artist is likely related to the fact that art supplies can be costly. Use the money you're saving to secure canvases, gesso, and paints; get clay and a potter's wheel; take weaving classes on a loom at a local yarn store; or become a glassblower during a class at your local artcenter, museum, or community center. Without money as an excuse to hold you back, you might just find yourself with a DIY solution to presenting family and friends with birthday and holiday gifts. If you really find your niche, consider opening an online store on a site like Etsy.

4. Family outings

You might be surprised at the number of short trips you can take that don't require a huge financial investment. Create experiences for yourself, your spouse, and children by taking a one-tank trip, jumping on a train for a weekend getaway in a nearby metropolis, or heading to an outlet mall a little outside of town for a shopping spree. You'll create an experience that can be remembered for years to come and spend time bonding with your family.

5. Memberships and subscriptions

Although the print media industry is suffering, there are still plenty of magazines to which you can subscribe. Flex your mental muscles with offerings like Utne Reader, The New Yorker, or The Sun. You can also purchase memberships to museums for afternoon getaways or subscribe to at-home entertainment offerings like Netflix.

Again, you're not exactly winning the lottery or rushing out to buy diamonds, but the money you save by dropping your cable service will see you pursuing passions you may have long put off in favor of zoning out in front of the TV after work. See who you can become once you break your ties to the brain drain that cable can be.

Family Time: Recipe Preservation & Organization

2012-01-18T11:00:00.008-06:00

For those of us who love to throw down in the kitchen, you know just how chaotic it can be. Utensils and appliances everywhere… dishes all around… recipes all over the place…

One consistent issue that has come up time after time is how to keep your recipes organized and keep them from being destroyed. While I ultimately chose a combination of methods, there are several ways to keep recipes…

-Online: You can type up your recipes and store them on a variety of sites or in a simple system like Microsoft Word. Either way, you can quickly go to your recipes with the click of a button!

-Written: Like our mothers and grandmothers, written/scribbled recipes and notes are often our “go to” or default choice!

-Memory: Well this is for those that are truly skilled in the kitchen! I, unfortunately, am not one of them! While I can recall some recipes, we’ve expanded our catalogue of recipes far beyond my brain’s capacity!

-Use Recipe Books: Using a combination of various recipe books, marking your favorites along the way, makes for a helpful, quick and easy reference.

-Combination Method: You may find it helpful to use a variety of these recipe resources to help out in the kitchen! Any combination of these methods can be helpful… as long as you have them readily available!

Personally, I have my “go to” recipes typed online as well as printed out in a little recipe book. This works great in our house so that if my husband has to fix a meal, he knows exactly where to go and has the tools he needs to be successful in the kitchen! I even have each recipe placed in a sheet protectors so that they aren’t prone to spills, etc... yes, I’m just that compulsive!
