Are You Headed to See “The Croods?” {Giveaway}

Now that my kids are a bit older and have a longer attention span, I absolutely love taking them to the movies.  Seeing their eyes wide with anticipation and excitement (and let’s face it, there’s always popcorn) makes this outing one of our favorites.  Because my girls are still young, most of the movies we see are animated and who does animation better than Dreamworks?  No one.

Starting March 22nd, take a trip to the movies and enjoy Dreamworks Animation’s newest release, The Croods.  From the press release, “The Croods is a 3D comedy adventure that follows the world’s first modern family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always been their home is destroyed. Traveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods are rocked by generational clashes and seismic shifts as they discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures — and their outlook is changed forever.

To get your kids ready for the fun, check out the FREE new game app “The Croods” by Rovio Entertainment available now on iOS and Adroid.  This is a great way to keep the kids entertained until show time! And don’t let the fun end when the lights come back on.  Continue the party with the new Wii game, “About the Croods: Prehistoric Party!”

The Croods: Prehistoric Party! combines the ultimate fun of a family party game with Croods-style action as you journey through 30 unique and addictive multi-player mini-games. Game boards bring the Croods’ world to life, complete with hazards, never-before-seen creatures from the film, hilarious surprises and rough and tumble competition that only the Croods family can bring.

Why not complete your day with some incredible Crood-themed snacks and activities?  Check out this Pinterest boardfor tons of inspiration!  Now that you are in a “crood-mood”, I have a great giveaway to help you get started.  Two of my readers will receive a $15 Gift Card to the iTunes App Store and The Croods: Prehistoric Party for Wii (ARV $44.95).  Enter below:

New Build-A-Bear Workshop Girl Scouts Thin Mints Bear {Giveaway}

In Kindergarten, my oldest daughter decided that she wanted to join the Girl Scouts.  As a child, I remember loving my own Girl Scout meetings and growing close to the members of my troop so I was thrilled to sign my own daughter up.  She quickly made friends with the other “Daisies” and now three years later, she has bridged to “Brownies.”

Now, we are deep in the throws of selling Girl Scout cookies to family and friends (want some?).  Lily beams with pride every time she displays the selection of cookies.  She has done a great job and has sold over 50 boxes of cookies so far (which is more than I expected).

On February 2nd, Build-A-Bear Workshop released the new Girl Scouts Thin Mints Bear which I thought would be a great way to commemorate Lily’s achievement.  The 12 inch brown bear is super soft and features the Girl Scout Trefoil and the Girls Scout Thin Mints Cookie embroidered on her feet.  To make the bear extra special, you can dress her in the Girl Scout, Brownie or Daisy uniform complete with troop number stickers!  And after searching the Build-A-Bear Workshop website, I found that I can even purchase a Mint Chocolate Chip SCENTiment which is inserted in the bear’s paw to make her smell delicious, too!

When the bear arrived, Lily was thrilled and can’t wait to take “Minty” to her next Girl Scout Meeting at the end of the month.  If you have a little Girl Scout in hour house, head to your local Build-A-Bear Workshop to make your very own Bear Scout!  Don’t miss any of the action by following Build-A-Bear Workshop on Twitter and Facebook.

Get Pampers Swaddlers in Size 4/5 at Target! {Giveaway}

It’s no secret around here that I am a huge advocate for Pampers.  Both of my daughters wore Pampers throughout their diaper wearing years starting with the Newborn size Pampers Swaddlers.  I have always loved the quilted softness of Swaddlers as well as the stretchy overlapping fasteners which provided a perfect fit for both of my babies.

Once my daughters outgrew the Swaddlers, we switched to the Pampers Baby Dry which we loved as well.  But, I will admit that I missed the softness of the Swaddlers which seemed much more comfortable for my girls.  While I no longer have a need for diapers in my home, I am pleased to tell you that Swaddlers are now available in Sizes 4 and 5!  In fact, you can find the entire Swaddlers line (from preemie to Size 5) in Target stores nationwide.  To celebrate, if you buy two Economy packs of either Pampers Swaddlers, Cruisers or Baby Dry at Target between January 27th and February 2nd, you will receive a free $20 Target gift card!

Want to learn more?  Join Mom It Forward and well known blogger Audrey McClelland tonight (January 22nd) from 9-10pmEST for a Twitter Party to learn tips and tricks on how to make your life 4 to 5 time easier!  Get more details and RSVP here.

Because I am super excited about the release of the Swaddlers in Sizes 4 and 5, I wanted to offer you a chance to win a Pampers Prize Pack including a $10 Target gift card, the First Years Deluxe Fold and Go diapering kit, Pampers wipes (64 count) and Swaddlers (size 4/5).  Enter to win below!

Earn Bonus Box Tops and Save on Gas at Winn Dixie! {Giveaway}

My soon to be eight year old daughter has many talents.  She is an excellent dancer, advanced reader and just an all around great kid.  But the thing that impresses me the most is her ability to sniff out Box Tops at the grocery store.  This girl is like a bloodhound and will beg for me to buy products containing the Box Top for Education.  You see, her school has a Box Top competition and the grade level with the most Box Tops each quarter wins a free “dress down day.”  At a school that wears uniforms, a “dress down day” to show off their style is extremely coveted.

Are you familiar with the Box Tops 4 Education program?  Buy clipping the Box Tops from participating products, you can earn money for your school.  Since 1996, the Box Tops 4 Education program has helped America’s schools earn over $475 million dollars!

Now at Winn Dixie, when you buy 5 participating Box Tops items you save 10 cents per gallon on gas using fuelperks! AND get 20 Bonus Box Tops.  That’s a win-win for my daughter and myself!  You can find great savings on Box Tops products including Big G cereal, Nature Valley and Fiber One bars, Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks, and many other great products, too.  My daughter is over the moon excited about the Bonus Box Tops!

I have been a long time fan of the Winn Dixie fuelperks! program and have saved over $1 per gallon of gas on many occasions.  I love that buying participating Box Top products, I am saving money on my next gallon of gas, too.  Saving money at the grocery store AND at the gas station is a dream come true!

To help you get started clipping those Box Tops, I have a $25 WINN DIXIE Gift Card for one lucky reader.  Enter below!

Helping Toddlers Understand Time with the Stoplight Golight Timer {Giveaway}

My four year old is by far one of the most stubborn people I know.  When he makes up his mind to do something, there is no stopping him.  I find it very difficult to get him dressed for school, to eat his dinner, to go to bed…well you see the point, pretty much everything with him can be a real challenge.  The Stoplight Golight has made our life so much easier.

The Stoplight Golight works like an ordinary timer but it is far from ordinary.  The light can be set from 1-15 hours or can be set from 0-59 minutes.   All you have to do is simply select the amount of time and start the countdown.  Once you hit start, the red light comes on.  When the time runs out the red light turns to green.  You can set the timer with or without an alarm but our son likes the alarm to go off just in case he is not looking directly at the Stoplight Golight.

He has always had trouble getting to sleep at night and someone usually has to lay down with him.  We recently starting setting the timer for a few minutes and extending it every night.  If he is still awake at green someone will lay down with him.  It has really helped him, because he knows that if he can wait till the green comes on someone will be there.  Our hopes are that he will eventually lay down without anyone and even without the timer.  Having the ability to turn off the alarm sound is great in this situation, because if he falls asleep the buzzer will not wake him up.

Not only do we use the Stoplight Golight at bed time we use it about 100 other times during the day including getting dressed, brushing teeth, getting out of the bathtub, for daddy to come home and many other tasks in our daily routine.  In addition to everything we use it for it can also be used for timeouts, reading, homework, and computer time.  The best part of the product is that your child can physically see the light go from red to green.

The timer is perfect for all ages, not only does it work wonders with my 4 year old, even my 1 year old knows that when the light turns green it is time to leave the house, get out the tub, and so on. I plan on sharing this information with my son’s teacher as I believe it would work well in the classroom as well.  The Stoplight Golight works on 4 AAA batteries or an AC adapter and is available for sale at Stoplight Golight for $29.95.

My Favorite Things Day 10: $100 Zappos {Giveaway}

To be honest, 2012 has been a heck of a year (and not in a good way).  My world has been turned upside down and I am still struggling with how to get back on course.  But, you know what makes me happy?

Shoes.

I have no idea why.  But when I get a new pair of shoes, I can’t help but smile and stand a little taller.  In fact, I just got some kickin’ new brown boots and I am in love.  One of my favorite places to “shoe gaze” is at Zappos.com.  I have even purchased a few pairs of shoes from Zappos and I am always amazed at the freakishly fast shipping and excellent customer service.

So for Day Ten of My Favorite Things sponsored by Neutrogena, I am giving one you lucky people a $100 Zappos.com gift card!  Enter below!
