He said, She said Review: Necessary Roughness Night In #NRNightIn

Necessary Roughness logo

Full disclosure we were late to the whole Necessary Roughness show phenomenon.  Yet when we had a chance to watch the show we were definitely in for the long haul.  Necessary Roughness stars Callie Thorne as Dr. Santino, a psychologist with what it seems a complicated professional life as well as complicated personal life.  As a head doctor to famous athletes, musicians and celebrities you can understand how thing can really get out of hand. When D and I had the opportunity to have a night in and watch Necessary Roughness we jumped at the chance. Our next step was getting a babysitter, some snacks and settle in for a good time.  Check out some pictures of our night.     During yesterdays episode D and I were live tweeting check out some of our comments by following Divina at @dancinghotdogs and me at @daddyuprising. The episode we are reviewing is the second of the new season.  The football season is starting back up again, and it is time to get the gang back … [Read more...]

  Update! This giveaway is closed.  Congrats to the winner Quinn! Eddy and I started dating in college and as students we had no money for fancy dates but we fell in love anyway.  Now Eddy and I are happily married (7 years on June 24th!) and we have money for fancy dates but no time. Isn’t always the way! ; )  But no matter what we always find time for date nights. So I was really excited when the show Necessary Roughness reached out to us to sponsor a Necessary Night-In date night for us this Wednesday, June 13th, 10pm. Check out the trailer. Eddy and I did not see the first season but I love how the show appeals to everyone.  My sisters and friends rave about the show because there is drama, comedy, parenting issues and a lot of eye candy. ; ) On Thursday Eddy and I will be posting a He said/She said review on our experience of the show but to get everyone excited about watching how about a $267 Necessary Roughness Sporty Summer Pack Giveaway … [Read more...]

Dead Man’s Boots Book Review

1373490

By Eddy Book back covers are like trailers to me.  I love taking a look at them even if I don't plan to read the book.   The reason I love them so much is that I can't fathom how hard it is to fit a synopsis of a novel compelling enough to attach a new reader without giving away too much of the book at the same time.  In essence, it is a telemarketer cold call, and just like those calls everything has to be perfect in order to make the sale.  We see it fail all the time in movie trailers; it is already cliché to say "all the best jokes were in the trailer". Just substitute jokes with action scene, plot twist etc and you could cover every major movie release of the past couple of years. Yet, the most disappoint is when the back covers do not live up to the expectations that they create.  In my eyes it's a bit of false advertising, or a bait and switch. While Dead Man's Boots doesn't fall all the way to this level, I am sorry to say that my expectations were … [Read more...]
