Fiber One Yogurt Give-Away!

According to a recent survey by Yoplait Fiber One, Americans are fed up with flavorless, boring snacks – and claim they are a contributor to diet failure. With 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams of fat, Yoplait Fiber One Blueberry yogurt is a perfect solution, packed with real fruit and the great taste of blueberries that you’ll love. As an added bonus, the deliciously creamy yogurt also contains vitamins A and D and is a good source of calcium.

I have to admit that yogurt is not my favorite go-to snack, but I'm definitely working on healthier eating and I know yogurt is a great choice.  I'll also admit that blueberry is not normally my first choice in flavors, so I wasn't overly excited to try the new Fiber One Blueberry Yogurt.  So, I opened up the yogurt and took one bite and thought, "WoW, this is pretty darn good yogurt!"  Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised to find the blueberry flavor very natural.  It has the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess for my taste.

Yoplait and Fiber One provided me with the free products, and information, through MyBlogSpark. MyBlogSpark and Yoplait Fiber One are also offering a *VIP Coupon for a free sample of the new flavor, as well as a fitness journal and pen, sport towel, water bottle and blueberry stress ball to one lucky reader.
*This coupon offer for Yoplait Fiber One Blueberry yogurt is not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, North Dakota and Tennessee.

Crayola Color Wonder Give-Away (ends 9/1)

To say I was excited when I was contacted to review Crayola Color Wonder products would be an understatement.  As a mom to little ones, I was thrilled to receive these super Crayola products to help entertain and inspire my kiddos. 

They arrived just in time for a short (3 hour) road trip.  I grabbed some of the paper, markers and lap desk and loaded them into the car with my 4 year old.  By the time we reached our destination she had created several works of art with none of the usual bonus (ie: messy) art that can accompany traditional markers. 

Crayola allows me to breathe a little easier while my kids enjoy their craft time!

Crayola and MyBlogSpark are also offering one lucky reader the chance to win a Color Wonder gift package.

Summer travel and Color Wonder are a perfect combination. With a variety of Color Wonder activities, children are free to express themselves and have mess-free fun whether they’re in the backseat of the mini-van or up in the wild blue yonder.

  

Kids love the way the colors magically reveal and moms love that there’s no clean up involved. Color only appears when the markers or paints meet Color Wonder paper, so there are no clothes to wash or hands to clean when you reach your final destination! 

From purple mountain majesty to the pacific blue ocean, we want you to show us the wonders of America using Color Wonder as you travel this summer. The great Crayola Color Wonder products that you can take along on your summer trip include:

• Crayola Color Wonder Lap Desk provides a large, hard-top surface for kids to create on the go. The sturdy desk has a built-in handle and a soft detachable pillow that can be used as a storage unit for Color Wonder markers and paper. The Lap Desk is equipped with 12 re-stickable pieces of Color Wonder paper to keep kids’ drawings in place and 5 Color Wonder mess-free mini markers in red, orange, yellow, green and blue.
• Crayola Color Wonder Fingerpaints & Paper make the once impossible possible – fingerpainting in the car! The set includes clear, fast-drying gels that feel just like traditional fingerpaint. The set comes with 5 mess-free colors (red, yellow, green, blue and orange) in a hand-shaped storage container, a built-in finger cleaning sponge and 12 extra-wide sheets of Color Wonder paper. When kids are finished painting, they simply snap the fingerprint lids closed and paint stays fresh and ready to use again!
• Crayola Color Wonder Markers and Paper includes 5 Color Wonder markers and a 24-page Color Wonder drawing pad where your kids can create anything they want while you’re on the road!
• Crayola Color Wonder Stow & Go Studio provides a solid, compact drawing surface with stay-put clips that can secure a single piece of paper or an entire Color Wonder activity book. Kids will enjoy creating with mess-free Color Wonder markers that make colors magically appear on special paper and reveal special hidden surprises.
• Crayola Color Wonder Story Stampers includes 5 Color Wonder markers in red, blue, green, purple and orange, a Color Wonder stamp pad, 6 sea creature stamps, and an 18-page coloring pad with undersea background settings. Each setting is unique, so every page will inspire a different fish tale just waiting to be told! Kids’ imaginations will take them beneath the sea as they stamp color sea creatures using the colorless Color Wonder stamp pad to create innovative stories and scenarios then can then color in. It's like high tide for your imagination!

Box Tops for Education and a Walmart Gift Card Give-Away!!!

When I was contacted by MyBlogSpark and selected to receive a $25 Walmart gift card to use to purchase my favorite participating Box Tops items, I was excited about the freedom to purchase items of my choice.  Since I live in the land of doubles and often find things FREE or very close to cheap, I don't find Walmart to be the best bargain in the overall scheme of things.  So, I came up with a plan!

I headed over to a few websites that offer coupons for BoxTops items.

Box Tops For Education

Betty Crocker

Eat Better America

Coupons.com

I printed out some coupons I thought I might use and headed to Walmart.

I spent a little while checking out prices and decided on some Juicy Juice and Gogurts.  Finding deals on juice is hit or miss and my kids love Gogurt, so I thought that would be a nice treat for them.

(4) Juicy Juice bottles @ $2.36 = $9.44

(1) Gogurt @ $2.25 = $2.25

Total before Qs = $11.69

- (1) $2/4 Juicy Juice IP

Total Spent on Giftcard = $9.69

The Box Tops for Education program is an easy solution and this year Walmart is making it even easier! From Aug. 3 - Aug. 31, head over to your local Walmart to find 4 Box Tops on participating General Mills products and earn more cash for the participating school of your choice. As your one-stop destination for all your needs this back-to-school season, Walmart is helping you save more and earn more with the Box Tops for Education brands you love.

With over 20 great brands and more than 40 products participating, here are just a few favorites that include 4 Box Tops that you can find at Walmart this August: Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, Pillsbury Toaster Strudel pastries, Trix Yogurt, Hamburger Helper skillet meals, Totino’s Pizza Rolls snacks, Nature Valley Granola Bars and Betty Crocker Fruit Roll-Ups snacks. Be sure to keep an eye out for Box Tops on great products from Kleenex, Ziploc, and Hefty too!

General Mills and MyBlogSpark are also offering one lucky reader the chance to win a $25 Walmart Giftcard.

Good Earth Give-Away

There's usually at least one night a week that I most certainly do not want to be bothered with time consuming kitchen prep for cooking a nice meal.

On those nights, I appreciate a convenience meal of some sort.

With appetizing entrées from Good Earth, dining in is sure to become the new dining out. Enjoy cooking a sophisticated, restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. Each variety includes vibrant and flavorful sauces along with specialty ingredients like sweet basil, white wine and dried tomatoes. Delicious dinners that allow you to keep a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing taste, Good Earth dry dinner kits are perfect for whipping up a no-fail, five-star cuisine in less than 30 minutes.

100% whole grain, no trans fat, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives, no MSG - just add meat and, voila! Dinner is served.

When Good Earth and My Blog Spark presented the opportunity to try the Mediterranean Chicken I was happy to give it a go.  As I began to prepare the meal, I must admit, I felt like I might be disappointed.  It seemed like the portions were too small and I'm always hesitant about premixed seasonings.  I must also admit that I was pleasantly surprised that neither of my pre-conceived notions came to fruition.

The Mediterranean Chicken with Angel Hair Pasta was amazing.  The seasoning was fresh and earthy ( a great thing from a company with the name Good Earth) and the portions were just right.  Even my husband, who dislikes most sauces, was loving this!  This was a delicious, quick and easy meal.

The only trouble I had with the kit was that there were 2 packets of "cream sauce".  There was no indication as to whether there were supposed to be 2 and nothing in the instructions that clarified that either.  I used both packets, but am still uncertain as to whether I simply got an extra packet or this was in fact supposed to be presented in this way.  Good Earth may want to clarify this in their packing.

Good Earth dry dinner kits offer a selection of four delectable meals: Mediterranean Chicken with angel hair pasta, Spicy Citrus Glazed Shrimp with angel hair pasta, Herb Crusted Chicken with mushroom risotto and Tuscan Chicken with penne pasta.

In addition to the Dinner Kit and Gift Pack I received, Good Earth has offered one reader a Dinner Kit and Gift Pack through MyBlogSpark™.

Yoplait Greek yogurt “Nourish Your Inner Goddess” Give-away!---a Mother's Day Give-Away!

Do you love Yogurt?

My family would live on it given the opportunity.  So, when I was given the opportunity to try out the new Yoplait Greek Yogurt and host this give-away, I jumped at the chance!

"With 12 grams of protein -- twice that found in leading yogurts-- new Yoplait Greek nourishes from the inside out. Available in four delicious flavors, Strawberry, Blueberry, Honey Vanilla and Plain, the brand’s newest offering has a unique thick and creamy texture with the unmatched taste expected of Yoplait."

I decided to give them all a try and have to say the Honey Vanilla was hands down my favorite. DD4 concurred but for her, blueberry and strawberry were close contenders!

Even the plain was less bitter than other plain yogurts I've tasted.

I like the creamy consistency and there was no weird after-taste like some yogurts have.

Yoplait wants to celebrate their new Greek Yogurt and to encourage women to nourish their inner goddess.

Yoplait and MyBlogSpark have generously offered me and one lucky reader a  "Nourish Your Inner Goddess" gift pack and 2 Free* product coupons.

To enter leave a comment telling me which two flavors you would try with your Free product coupons* and leave your email address, too!

*This coupon offer for a free cup of Yoplait Greek yogurt is not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Tennessee.
