Want A Free Movie?






Ever since becoming parents and especially after we began to pay off debt, Hubbie and I have made a decision to not see very many movies at the theatre.  The cost to see one movie now is just too much for us to swallow.  We usually just wait a few months and either see a movie at the 99 cent theatre, watch it on Netflix or use a movie renting kiosk, such as Blockbuster EXPRESS.











The video rentals at the Blockbuster Express are only $1 per night and you don't even need a membership to use it.








Start planning your movie night!  Blockbuster has offered a special Rent One Get One Free coupon code for MomSelect moms to share with friends, family and blogging buddies!  The coupon code is 555G113B, but you gotta act fast!  The coupon code expires on 3/31.


If you plan to use the coupon code, comment and tell me what you plan on renting!  This code makes for a great and cheap date night!

Rainbow Brite Adventure Pack Review and Giveaway


You want a blast from the past?!  Do you remember Rainbow Brite and all her friends?!  Most of my friends are older than I am, so they all probably remember Rainbow Brite better than I do.  I know I had a Rainbow Brite doll, because I remember twirling her long colorful hair while watching boyish cartoons in my brother's room.  But I do remember watching the show!  In my self defense, I was only 4 or 5yrs old when the show went off the air, so my memories are very vague and tiny snap shots!  

I was given the new Rainbow Brite Adventure Pack from the wonderful MomSelect to review.  I didn't know whether the boys would watch the show or not, but they thought it was kinda neat since it was a show that Mommy watched when she was little.  I think Peanut loved watching Twink and Starlite more than the actual show.  And of course, they loved dancing to the song!  After a while, Bubbie said it was a girly show, but I enjoyed the walk down memory lane!  

Hallmark has a really neat website with games and activities and short stories!  Also, coming to a story near you, the Rainbow Brite doll that even comes with its own Twink sprite!  

If you would also like to take a walk down memory lane, leave a comment and I will send you your very own Rainbow Brite Adventure Pack which includes a short animated story, games and puzzles, the theme song and much much more!  I have 9 to give away so comment away!!!


I was given 1 cd to review and 9 to giveaway by the fabulous MomSelect!  Thank you for this opportunity!

Suave Wash Them Grow Review and Sweepstakes

I don't know about your kids, but mine LOVE body wash and special bath soaps!  Mostly because of the "character" or animal on the front!  They couldn't care less about the smell or if it cleans them or not!  Because of that, when I saw the opportunity to participate in the Suave Kids Wash Them Grow program, I jumped at the chance.

We received 4 bottles of Suave Kids Body Wash and they immediately chose their favorites!  Bubbie loved the Berry Body Wash.  To us it became the "monkey" one that smells like strawberries!   Peanut, even though he was sick, chose the Free and Gentle Body Wash, "the seal", which is a favorite for me,  because it is dye free and won't irritate the kids skin!  

Along with the 4 bottles of kids body wash, I also received some Bath Tips from Other Moms.  Here are a few:

  • Water guns are a fun accessory in the bath!  My 2 kids play together in the tub- it makes them laugh and its a great bonding time for my boys.
  • Homework, Shower then Dessert.  No Shower No Dessert.
  • To get soap out of her hair we practice the back float.
  • We're so busy that often bath time doubles as story time before we send the kids off to bed.  It kills two birds with one stone but also is fun family time at the end of a long day. 
In addition to being able to use these great products that my family already uses, I am also allowed to tell my readers about a fun contest going on called Wash Them Grow Sweepstakes.  You have the chance to win weekly prizes.  Not only do you get a chance to win, but I do too! The MomSelect blogger who drives the most traffic to the sweepstakes will win a year’s supply of Suave Kids® products and a $100 gift card to Build-A-Bear Workshop – and you’ll get to choose 10 of your readers who will each win the same fantastic prize!  

Go here to enter daily!



A big thank you to the friends at MomSelect and Suave for allowing me to review and link to this contest!

Cereal Lovin' Family

I don't know about your family, but mine LOVES cereal.  We love cereal so much that I tried to stop buying cereal in order to cut our grocery budget.  That didn't last but a month or two.  Then I realized that with Publix grocery stores BuyOneGetOneFree sales in addition to my coupons, I could get cereal for around $1 (I don't pay more than $1.50 for a box), so my family was very happy and I began to buy cereal again.

Not only do I love cereal because its a quick and can be a healthy option for breakfast, but its also a great snack for the boys.  Every afternoon Bubbie asks for a "mix" for his snack.  We usually include Cheerios, marshmallows, crackers and some raisins or fruit snacks in a cup for an afternoon snack.  He loves it and I feel as though he's getting something good for him since I am giving him cereal along with the awfully kid addicting fruit snacks.

A few weeks ago MyBlogSpark gave me the opportunity to review General Mills cereals by giving me several coupons for a free box of  cereal.  What a treat this was!  Something that we would use and that we already loved!  General Mills has some of our favorite cereals including Cheerios and Fruity Cheerios!

The wonderful folks at General Mills and My Blog Spark have also allowed me to link to a great coupon also.

There are a lot of health benefits to eating a healthy breakfast.  General Mills has gathered some statistics regarding people who eat breakfast vs. those who go without.  Go here to read more.

I do believe that cereal can be apart of a healthy breakfast.  I know it is for our family!
