The Children’s Place $500 Gift Card Giveaway

July 15, 2013 By Maryann

Disclosure: This giveaway has been sponsored by The Children’s Place and hosted by Kidsumers. I have not been compensated and all opinions are my own.

What boy wouldn’t look amazing in this cute and sophisticated school uniform from The Children’s Place? I love the simple classic styling and even though my boys don’t have to wear a uniform I still find this to be a great option. I have several friends that have children that always look put together and polished. I know for a fact that these children dress in a “uniform” the mom has picked out for them.

When I was growing up, I went to a school that required a uniform and mine was never this cute. I would have loved to wear a flattering outfit that fit the schools requirements yet still allowed me to look perfectly polished.

This outfit would have been perfect. Today The Children’s Place wants to make your children’s back-to-school uniform shopping a snap with really adorable and affordable school-wear. They are also offering a chance to win a $500 The Children’s Place Gift Certificate so one lucky winner can go on a back-to-school-uniform-shopping-spree! I know I will be shopping at The Children’s Place to pick up classic outfits for the boys so that they can look pulled together and always appropriate.

If you have a child that does wear a uniform, what better place than The Children’s Place, to pick up all the essentials that make uniform dressing so easy. All you need now is an entry into the contest and maybe a cute pair of saddle shoes!

Global Resort Homes Giveaway 7 nights in a 4 bedroom pool home

July 1, 2013 By Maryann

A little over a week ago I was in the beautiful Orlando/Kissimmee area. I was there with several of my friends and blogging buddies. We stayed at a convenient Global Resort Homes condo. The whole area was wonderful and perfectly exciting while offering a relaxed atmosphere that I really enjoyed. Our condo included 3 bedrooms with sleeping accommodations for up to 6 people. There were 2 full baths and 1 half bath along with a fully appointed kitchen. My condo even had a video gaming unit for those days when it was raining.

I spent most of my time at the pool, which was just perfect. The water was a delightful temperature and featured plenty of seating for all 10 of us girls. It has a deep swimming area along with a shallow end, and most importantly there were good, clean restrooms right next to the pool area.

Giveaway

Global Resort Homes is giving away a 7 night stay in a 4 bedroom pool home (or larger) and Kissimmee Guest Services is including 4 tickets to Sea World and Boggy Creek will include airboat rides for 4 guests! Blackout dates will apply. To enter the contest simply use the form below.

Real Kids Shades Eye Protection for the Whole Year and Giveaway

Real Kids Shades Sunglass Giveaway-1-4

Disclosure: Real Kids Shades provided me with sunglasses with which to facilitate this review and giveaway. No other compensation was received.

Summer is here and we are getting outside a lot more often. I know I have to wear sunglasses when the sun is even a little bright, but it is of the utmost importance for little kids. Children’s eyes are at increased risk for permanent eye damage from sunlight until they’re 10 years old. Real Kids Shades makes affordable, stylish and comfortable shades for kids. Their “My First Shades” line was designed with the help of a pediatric ophthalmologist for optimal fit, comfort and safety.

I remember taking all the boys in for eye exams and having our eye doctor tell me that sunglasses were necessary for our two younger boys because they both have blue eyes. She said they are even more susceptible to sun damage because of the light color of their eyes, and she suggested we get them good sunglasses that they can wear all year long. I really had no idea it was that important.

Prevent Blindness America offers the following guidelines for choosing the right sunglasses for your children:

Only purchase sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both types of ultraviolet rays: UV-A and UV-B. Sunglasses should also eliminate glare and squinting.
Check lenses carefully for scratches, bubbles and distortions. Flaws in the lenses can cause children’s eyes to work harder and result in squinting, tearing and even headaches.
Select sunglasses that suit children’s active lifestyles. They should be impact-resistant; lenses should not pop out of frames; and frames should be bendable, unbreakable, and/or have snap-on temples.
Always choose sunglasses made of polycarbonate, the most impact-resistant material available.

Real Kids Shades sent us three pairs of their children’s sunglasses. We received the 3-7 Flex in Red, the 7-12 Glide in Blue and the 7-12 Blade in Blue. These are perfect for the boys. They are lightweight and fit comfortably. I love that they are stylish, but most importantly they protect my boys eyes.

Real Kids Shades Sunglass Giveaway-1

We have a history of eye diseases in our family, so I want to make sure our boys do everything they can to prevent eye problems that may come from sun exposure. Please visit Real Kids Shades to learn more about Prevent Blindness America and to see a selection of their very cool shades!

Salba Chia Picnic Pack Giveaway

June 4, 2013 By Maryann

Disclosure: I have received free products from Salba Chia as an ambassador for their products.

Summertime is here!!! I love it. There is something so wonderful about summertime. The slower pace, the longer days, the warmer nights, and the parties. Those are always the best. They can be super easy with foods like hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken on the grill. But they can also be filled with healthier options too, like Salba Chia Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips and Salba Chia Medium Salsa. My boys are crazy about tortilla chips and salsa, and Salba Chia offers up both with Salba Chia seeds included right in the snack.

Salba came up with a really cool Southwest Veggie Soup that uses their Salba Chia Medium Salsa to add some zing. Salba Chia seeds can be used in a ton of different summertime foods. They suggested adding them to potato salads, gelatin or even lemonade! I made chocolate chia seed pudding with mine! yummy.

Salba Chia would love to introduce you to their products and they are offering a Salba Chia Picnic Pack Giveaway to one of my readers. Why don’t you enter below?
