I am so excited with the Fall TV premires coming up. I am a busy mom, but thanks to Tivo, I do manage to watch my favorite shows after kids are in bed. In the past, I was very frustrated with its search function which is to point and click each letters on the screen to search for the shows. Because of the frustration, sometimes I missed watching shows that my friends were always talked about. However, Tivo has came out with brand new TiVo Premiere and Slide Remote. I am very excited the fact that Tivo's new remote has a full built in keyboard function. I will actually be able to type in my searches without any frustration.

Our family is looking for a vacation trip that is in driving distance to us. The cost and hassle of flying is just too much to deal with. We stumbled upon a travel website for Memphis where you can enter to win a trip package.

Its free to enter so we did. My husband has been there a couple times as a small boy and later as a teenager. He says he remembers Graceland and all things Elvis. He says he liked seeing Elvis's pink Cadillac which was an enormous boat to drive.

We are hoping to get the family package since it includes stuff for all ages. We are looking forward to the included carriage ride and the trip to the zoo if we win. The trip includes a free dinner at Rendezvous, but our family friend who grew up in Memphis always raves about Coleman's BBQ.

The Memphis-savvy travel guide website has a lot of good information about the city. We are looking at Memphis as a place that is within driving distance and has a lot of music and art attractions. My daughter loves Taylor Swift and her playing the guitar. We might go the Gibson showcase on Beale street. Emmy can practice and pick up a guitar just like Taylor's.

Check out the website and then visit Memphis, TN, a great place to be.

It will be a crazy weekend full of fun. I will really enjoy reconnecting some of my old friends as well. I hope I get to have a big party right on the beach with all of them. Also want to go to spa with all of my girl friends as well. Oh, I might be too old for this, but I might even have a lot of fun doing a pillow fight with my childhood friends. I really wish that I win this sweepstakes. It will be a good break away from my kids. There is no reason to pass up this sweepstakes. Again, this is open to everyone.
