Things to Do this Easter A-Z

Every year we do the same old egg decorating and egg hunts...let try a few new ideas thanks to Pinterest and my fellow bloggers...

ART - is always a fun way to get keepsakes of your children growing, and let them get creative...if you need ideas Pinterest has tuns...The best ones are using hand-prints or finer-prints to create...that way you can see their hands grow over the years, and it's very personal! 

BUNNIES - are always fun - I remember taking a picture with the Easter bunny every year. Now the hip trend is pictures with a real bunny, these are adorable keepsakes that you would be proud to hang up around the house, or share with friends, ask your photographer about Easter sessions, chances are they have a bunny waiting for you!

CUPCAKES - need i say more! except let's get creative, not just with icing and sprinkles...let the kids get creative and have fun!

Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father's estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father's last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about this family—and re-examine his own life choices in the process.

In a story inspired by true events, Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, is tasked with fulfilling his estranged father’s last wishes—delivering an inheritance to a sister he never knew he had.

 

  

Kids Are Amazing G!veaway

Kids are amazing! I honestly believe that the best thing that ever happened to me was becoming a mom. Everyday they do or say something that either keeps me on my toes or makes me laugh uncontrollably. From the funny things they say and do to those funny little personalities. I am truly blessed to have my little comedians. This is Cheyenne and her audition to be the next KISS member! 

Today we are going to give something away for the kids. All kids love getting mail, even if its just the weekly flyer from the supermarket. Well we want them to get super excited about getting something special just for them! We will even personally address it to them! Enter from March 30 - April 2, 2012!

Thank you to Africa's Blog, Kathleen's Blog Spot and Mommy and Baby Reviews and Giveaways for Sponsoring the giveaway. And a huge thank you to all of the blogs hosting the giveaway.

Once you browse through the pictures below and maybe pin one or two, make sure you hop through and pin a few more.

Some of my Favorite Things

My letter for the blog hop is “S” so I decided to focus on Some of my Favorite Things.

Relieve Pain Naturally with Arnicare ~Review/Giveaway

Whether you're getting ready to hit the beach, ride your bike, or go backpacking to your favorite summer time camp spot, it's probably been a while since your body performed such strenuous summertime activities, making strains, aches, pains and bruises more likely.  This season, and year-round, relieve muscles pain, stiffness, swelling and bruising--Instead of just masking it--and feel better faster win Arnicare Arnica Gel.

About:
Brought to you by Boiron, world leader in homeopathic medicines, Arnicare Gel, made from Arcica Montana, works naturally to ease muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries and overexertion.  It also works to reduce swelling and discoloration of bruises.  Arnica, and mountain plant from the daisy family, has been commonly used for centuries and a natural pain reliever and is recommended today by doctors, plastic surgeons and pharmacists--and used by professional athletes--worldwide.

Since Arnicare works naturally with your body, there's no risk of overdose, no contraindications, no drug interactions and no side effects when used as directed.  It does not contain methyl salicylate or camphor--common ingredients found in many pain relief creams which can be toxic in large doses.  This makes Arnicare Gel safe for the whole family!!

What we Thought:
I've always been prone to try homeopathic remedies...from teething to my sons acid reflux...so trying this was a no brainer!  My husband has a very strenuous job--a tire chain--and is constantly bending and lifting all day (10-12hr days) five-six days a week.  I use Arnicare Arnica Gel on his feet at night, and the unscented gel is quickly absorbed and is non-greasy, which is important...who wants to sit around with greasy feet ;p ...Now, while he was disappointed there was no immediate relief, I did notice he wasn't complaining of pain the next more...that's an A in my book!

Suggested retail price for Arnicare Gel 2.6 oz is $9.99. 
For a $1 off coupon, visit Arnicare.com

WIN IT!!

Schick Introduces New Hydro Silk Razor ~Review

It has been a long time since we've seen anything we can call "revolutionary" when speaking about women's razors, and considering that most of us shave often. I have gone through plenty of razors in my lifetime. Now, Schick is releasing a brand new razor to change the way that we not only think about the brand, but also how we think about shaving. The Hydro Silk razor, which has been in the works for seven years, has been designed to give you the closest possible shave. 

• Skin Guards are added to each blade, doubling the points of contact between the blades and the skin. The blades and Skin Guards work together to smooth your skin as you shave and to reduce irritation.
• The Compact Oval Cartridge is designed exclusively for the contours and curves of a woman’s body including those hard to reach places.
• Aqueous Soft Touch Handle is ergonomic by design with a soft rubber grip and is inspired by water for a beautiful look.
• 5 Curve Sensing Blades deliver an incredibly close shave for silky smooth skin.
• A special water-activated Moisturizing Serum hydrates to replenish skin’s natural moisture throughout each shave. It’s infused with nourishing marine extracts and rich shea butter.

 

This razor is fabulous! I used just water (u know the test), its so easy to hold and leaves my legs smooth to the touch even without shave gel, because of the Moisturizing Serum!  I love this razor!

 

 

disclosure~ I am sharing this information as part of the Schick Hydro Influenster program. I was given a Schick Hydro razor to review for this post, however all opinions are mine own!  View my full disclosure policy here.

Discount on a SureFlap Cat Door!

Have a Cat, but tired of the in and out?!  

Check it out SureFlap is offering Mom of 3 Boys Followers a 10% discount!! Isn't that FAB!! 

The code is BLOGGER12 and will be valid through March 31 for 10% off a SureFlap purchase at www.sureflap.com

 

 

 

SureFlap, a popular electronic cat door from the United Kingdom, is now available in the US. What makes SureFlap unique is its ability to read a cat’s existing veterinarian-inserted microchip to allow a cat to enter a home. This is accomplished through SureFlap’s integrated microchip reader, which can recognize the unique identities of up to 32 cats.

Another unique feature of SureFlap is it’s the only cat door to use patented low-power radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which enables it to run exclusively on 4 AA batteries, so there’s no need for electrical wiring access. In fact, SureFlap’s microchip reader only turns on when a cat uses the door, so its batteries generally last for an entire year (low battery light included).

SureFlap is easy to install indoors, windows or walls; glass mounting and wall installation kits are available. SureFlap is also compact and suitable for most cat breeds with its 5.59” wide by 5.39” tall entry portal. A larger model appropriate for large-cat breeds and small dogs should be available in Spring 2012.

 

Review-Giveaway: The Quick and Easy Guide to Branding Your Business and Creating Massive Sales with Pintrest!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Mom Blog Society Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers

If you're like me, you've noticed that Pintrest has become all the rave and if you're like me, you weren't sure what all the fuss was about.  When I realized that  I could use it not only personally but also for my business, I became addicted like so many others, but still wasn't sure how to maximize and get the best out of it. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to be one of the selected bloggers to review Kim Garsts' new ebook "The Quick and Easy Guide to Branding and Creating Massive Sales with Pintrest".
 

Whether your have a business or not, this ebook is useful for showing anyone how to use Pintrest.  It gives the overview of what it is, how to sign up, etc... and well as some specific practical tips on how to get business for your brand.  Even if you're not trying to create "massive sales" you can still use this ebook to get some great tips.  Social media is one of the best ways to get traffic to your site, and having a book to completely outline how to do it isn't always an option (trust me i have searched), but here is your guide to Pinterest! 

Book Summary:

Pinterest, though rhyming with interest, is only loosely related! Basically, it’s a virtual pinboard just like the corkboards we had in our rooms as kids and you may still have in your home or office. Pinterest is a social networking site that allows users to create photo collections online – like online, upscale scrapbooking. It is primarily a photo sharing website where the members are allowed to create albums pertaining to a certain theme or pattern. 

Over the past few years, businesses have been using social media websites for promoting and boosting their businesses. The same is the case with Pinterest. You might be wondering how a photo sharing website can help your business become a success.

This book is intended to be a guide for using Pinterest to strengthen your business and brand.

I enjoyed reading this book, as it outlines exactly how to use Pinterest for your business to drive traffic to your site and even sell products and all in easy to understand way, no internet language.  She outlines steps and shows examples of what to do and how to do it!  Now I have a new understanding of Pinterest, Marketing and Social media!

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to drive more traffic to their site or any business selling online!  I feel quite confident using Pintrest now that I have the inside scoop! 

WIN IT

Do you want the inside scoop on how to use Pintrest for your brand?  Well, you have the chance to win a copy thanks to Mom Blog Society and Kim Garst!  Enter below!

• Green Eggs and Ham: One of the best-selling children's book of all time. Sam-I-Am is determined to share the tasty treat of green eggs and ham with his doubtful companion. Containing just 50 unique words, this title is a must-have for beginning readers.

• Dr. Seuss's ABC: From Aunt Annie riding an Alligator to the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz, Dr. Seuss teaches children the ABC's through whimsical Seussian words and illustrations, guaranteed to entertain as much as it educates.

• The Cat in the Hat Comes Back: The behatted and bow-tied cat is back and stirring up his own brand of mischief. This time he enlists Little Cats A through Z to help him clean up the mess. But will they be a help or a hindrance?

• There's a Wocket in my Pocket!: This charming, light-hearted story follows a young boy around his house as he introduces the reader to the amusing imaginary creatures that live with him.

• Hop on Pop: Known as "The Simplest Seuss for Youngest Use," Hop on Pop offers simple, delightfully entertaining rhymes to inspire children to read on their own.

Next is the release of The Shape of Me and Other Stuff on iOS and Android for the special introductory price of $1.99. Learn new shapes and words in this wacky, eccentric exploration of silhouettes and Seussian rhymes – perfect for beginning readers. Children are encouraged to seek out details and ponder unique shapes such as "Just think about the shape of beans and flowers and mice and big machines!" or "The shape of ships" and "The shape of water when it drips." Kids will love the silly rhymes and funny images, and parents will appreciate this original take on the largely untapped world of shapes.

 

I can't tell you how much my kids enjoy these books from Oceanhouse!!  They are great for trips, Dr. offices, or even just story time!!
