[House of Manners] Please and Thank Yous

Photo Credit: Pinterest

Continuing the weekly topics brings us to Tuesday...Manners. I am sure everyone of us has been told to "Mind our Manners" in some point (mostly when we were younger). How true that is though!

To start this beautiful Tuesday morning off I thought I would cover the basics. Start way back in the beginning with the simple please and thank yous. Often referred to  as "the magic words"!

These two words, they go a LOOOONG way. In your personal life, in your professional life, anywhere you go those words are monumental. In short, both terms are polite ways of showing someone that you appreciate something they've done for you. You want to show someone you are nice not rude and the tone of your questions or statements are the way to get there!

Challenge today is to use your please and thank yous and see what happens!

To to leave you on this fine Tuesday...a little Barney song to remind us of our magic words! And to laugh that I used a Barney song...enjoy! You can go here to listen to the song also!

There are lots of things
We can do to be nice,
Sometimes they're hard to remember.
But there are two little things
You should never forget,
From January through December.

He's talking 'bout please and thank you,
They're called the magic words,
If you want nice things to happen,
They're the words that should be heard,
Remember please and thank you,
'Cause they're the magic words.

Use 'em in the morning, at noon, and night,
'Cause it's a great way to be polite!
Please and thank you,
They're the magic words.

GRAB SOME BUDS!!!
I did!!! :)

Sorry for the delay on this post!!

Hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July weekend!
I had the amazing luck of becoming a host for the Budweiser House Party!

What a great time. These parties area always so much fun to host.

Hosts recieve a box that comes in the mail (I just LOVE getting packages, cards..you know the old fashion snail mail kind..always makes me smile!) the week before the suggested party date. It is full of your goodies for the party.

Inside this box included: A $10 Visa Card, Grab Some Buds Koozies, Busweiser Cups, Budweiser frezbies, a Budweiser serving tray, a Budweiser apron, and rebates for me and my guests for some Budweiser!!!

I got to tell you, House Party has it down! They give you great ideas for games, entertainment and recipes! You just bring your friends. How cool is that?

I think these pictures and videos will sum up our weekend..ENJOY! Thanks to my MIL for having us over too! Her beautiful table and menu is always themed.

If you’re wondering what a House Party is..
Well, a House Party is thousands of parties across the country, hosted by people like us. Each event is sponsored by a leading brand (such as Kraft) and focuses on something cool that the sponsor wants its best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends. Basically a House party lets you share the products you like with all your friends, free of charge! Companies love to promote these type of events because it spreads the word about their products.


What free stuff will you receive?
That all depends on the specific brand you’re throwing the party for. Each brand has their own unique Party Pack filled with all kinds of free stuff to make your party a success!
