Flirty Aprons Review and Giveaway

My Grandma Rose loved to cook and I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her baking cakes, cookies and preparing meals. She also made special treats that are family secrets. She would always wear an apron. She had a bunch of them. I would always wear one when I cooked with her. She even let me pick which one I wanted to wear first. My favorite was one that looked kind of like a towel. It was a skirt apron or a half apron. I used to twirl around in her kitchen in between helping her cook and occasionally helping with the dishes.

In my adult life, I never had an apron. When I was younger I had play aprons I am sure but nothing that I could pass off wearing now. I am pretty sure I would look ridiculous in my Daisy smock which I occasionally cooked in. So, when I had the opportunity to review an apron from Flirty Aprons, I was really excited. I no longer would look like I had a fight with a flour monster or a sugar cloud. Maybe I am exaggerating a little bit about the mess I make while cooking but, most of the time I am a little messy.

Flirty Aprons is a company that sells adorable aprons for everyone. They have woman’s aprons and even aprons for kids. Just think how cute your daughter would look with a matching apron while in the kitchen with you. They also have some men’s aprons, because men can be messy too. Those of course are not the same prints and colors as the woman’s. These aprons are fun and stylish. They have the cutest patterns. I had a really hard time choosing the one I wanted. I thought about it for a while and I decided since I love cupcakes, I would get the Original Cupcake Apron.

I couldn’t wait until I received it. When the apron came, I immediately tried it on. This apron is not my Grandma Rose’s apron. My new apron is very sassy and sweet. Flirty Aprons completely sheds the only old women wear aprons mentality. The name is very appropriate as well.No need to guess your size because Flirty Aprons are one size fits all. I am enjoying this beautiful well made apron and I look forward to using it in all my cooking adventures as well as while I teach Noah to cook.

Just the facts Ma'am

Recently, I ordered The first season of Dragnet from Amazon. I had wanted to watch Dragnet and since it is not on TV anymore I figured I would check out the prices at Amazon. I found the first season new for really cheap. It arrived a few days ago. I was thinking about how I used to watch Dragnet on Nick at Nite, and then I thought about all of those old shows I loved to watch. Many of those shows are not on anymore. I am disappointed about that. Nick at Nite went from shows like Dragnet, I Love Lucy, Bewitched, I dream of Jeanie and Mary Tyler Moore to shows like Roseanne, Fresh Prince of Bel-air, and George Lopez which they show over and over again on many other channels. I can't believe that they would do that to quality television. It really makes me sad. It was fun to watch those old shows. I remember watching them with my Grandma Rose. I wish Nick at Nite would bring back the CLASSICS!

When they decided to make the change at Nick at Nite they started a channel called TV Land. They had only the old shows on there. Now they have some of the old shows like Bonanza which I only like to hum the tune and some others like All in the Family and Sanford and Son and Roseanne is on like 10 times a night. They recently added Home Improvement that was on Nick at Nite but it is like they take it off one channel and throw it on the other. I also miss watching Patty Duke, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and all of those other little gems. No one wants to watch 10 episodes of Roseanne a day, every day. So, Hello out there in TV Land and Nick at Nite. Turn off the junk and bring back the oldie but goodies.

You can do WHAT with your remote?!?!?

HSN is a home shopping network. It has been parodied in so many movies and TV shows. It is a wonderful invention where you can order things from your couch and phone. It was the early home shopping before you could log on your computer and shop online. I used to marvel at the stuff on HSN and QVC when I was little. It was so neat to see all kinds of things. A lot of the things like the food in my opinion is way over priced. You end up paying twice and sometimes three times the actual cost which is nuts. I do like the easy pay options on both.

It was a commercial and I went to click to see what was on HSN. I was watching them talk about bedding with my mom. I saw in the corner it said hit OK/select to order now. I thought maybe it was an error on their end. Nope if you hit OK/ select you can order things from HSN with your TV remote! My mom and I were saying oh lets order 3 of those in each color and just being dorks. Now ladies and gentlemen you can order things without leaving your home, without using the phone, and now without your computer.

I didn’t personally go as far as trying to order anything. We kept discussing different scenarios of things getting ordered. We kinda talked about it the other day with the cable box and the importance of having a pin number so your cleaning lady can’t watch movies or you get the 300 dollar smut cable bill after you had a house guest. I kept thinking about Noah accidentally ordering stuff from HSN. I am sure he wouldn’t be able to but it is kind of scary to think about. I bet that people that have shopping addictions could just sit there and order stuff. That is actually bad for those that can’t afford it and rack up their credit cards. I know people can do that with any form of shopping but I mean it is weird to be able to order products with your cable remote. What are your thoughts? Have you ever ordered anything with your remote other than PPV or anything On Demand?
