Zinburger's Fabulous Food + Giveaway Winner!

We had the opportunity to go to Zinburger after school on a recent Friday. It was such a treat and although it was a busy afternoon during happy hour- the service and food were fabulous.

The Ahi Burger is out of this world tasty.

 The sides are worth it! I love the zucchini fries.

My husband is more into the traditional fries- which are also very good.

We had never tried their desserts and we opted for the chocolate cream pie. First off, it was a gigantic piece that gave all of us a nice portion of whipped chocolatey goodness. The server also recommended the shakes. Next time, we will be going that route because there was not any room left after dinner and the pie.

 The winner from our $25 gift card giveaway is

Giveaway- Kids Gift Box from Qubo TV!

If you haven't heard of Qubo you should definitely check it out ans see if you have the channel or can add it.  We love watching programming in both English and Spanish so with Qubo on Telemundo we are able to see Jane and the Dragon  (one of my son's favorites) in Spanish and also educational programs on Qubo in English such as the Magic School Bus.

They also offer "night Owl" which offers retro cartoons such as She-ra!!!!  I have yet to check that out but sounds like a blast maybe while late night laundry folding :)

From Qubo, " Qubo (www.qubo.com) believes that quality entertainment—good fun—can help motivate kids to become better friends, family members and teammates and improve their view of the world. Qubo’s children's programming showcases characters that are positive role models and features teachable moments, such as learning the difference between right and wrong, the importance of non-judgment, how to form lasting friendships and how to be respectful and kind.  With such favorite, classic programs as “The Magic School Bus,” “Babar,” “Shelldon.” “Turbo Dogs,” “Willa's Wildlife,” “Pearlie,” and “Jane & the Dragon,” Qubo offers a fun, safe place for children to learn and for families to enjoy watching TV together. And speaking of the classic TV shows that many of us grew up watching, Qubo also offers programming through “Night Owl” - late night programs that include retro cartoons such as “He-Man,” “She-Ra,” and “BraveStarr”. Qubo truly is a channel that everyone – little kids and the “big kids” in all of us – can enjoy!" 

We were sent the goodies pictured above which included a USB drive to check out the programming offered on Qubo TV. We were able to see the array of programming offered.  My son LOVED the package in the mail- he was sooo excited to get this cool gift box!

You can enter on both sites just have to follow methods of entry:)

This is what we thought of this robotic creature that came in a cute Easter egg and with information to connect him on-line:




1.  My 4 year old son was thrilled to have is "pet bug" (given the name "Bucky") in a pic on the blog!

2. He found a cage/bed/home for him from his Playmobil toys.  It happens to be a pirate's treasure chest but it is now Bucky's transportation and shelter:)

There are many options from Hexbug Micro Robotics to purchase habitats and obstacle courses designed especially for the HEXBUG Nano-like the one pictured to the left HERE.

 

 


3.He decided to show his little sister the way Bucky crawls so quickly and recovers from his stumbles.  (the toy is too small for her alone but we were closely supervising this interaction)
