Enter The 45th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest!!

Calling all home cooks! Do you have a million dollar recipe idea? The 45th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest is open for entries and one simple recipe idea could help you take home the dough!

Pillsbury is looking for original recipes that taste and look delicious, are easy to prepare and that families across America will love to eat. Consumers can submit recipes in one of four recipe categories:
  • The Breakfast & Brunches category includes casual brunch or weekend family breakfast ideas. For example, sweet rolls, pull-aparts, pastries, breakfast breads, egg dishes or breakfast sandwiches.
  • In the Entertaining Appetizers category, entrants can submit appetizers and snacks to serve at casual gatherings with family and friends or for holiday entertaining. For example, bite size appetizers, tartlets, pinwheels, puffs, bruschetta or focaccia.
  • The Dinner Made Easy™ category encourages home cooks to create easy-to-prepare main dishes that will delight your family. For example, pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, foldovers, casseroles, chilis, soups or savory pies.
  • Quick and easy treats for anytime celebrations can be entered into the Sweet Treats category. For example, cookies, pies, tarts, brownies or bars.
Entries are being accepted online between now and April 18, 2011, at www.bakeoff.com. One hundred lucky finalists will compete for a chance at the grand prize during the contest finals, which take place March 25-27, 2012 at the Peabody Orlando Hotel in Florida. You’ll also find contest details, including eligible products, prizes and the official rules, on the web site.

The recipes will be judged for 1) taste, 2) appearance, 3) creativity and 4) consumer appeal. All entries must meet the requirements of the recipe category and appropriately use two of the eligible products in at least the quantity specified.

Sue Compton of Delanco, N.J. was named the grand prize winner of the 44th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest in 2010 for her original Mini Ice Cream Cookie Cups recipe. At the 43rd Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest in 2008, Carolyn Gurtz walked away with the million-dollar grand prize for her Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies. At the 2006 competition, the 42nd Contest, Anna Ginsberg, a stay-at-home mom who you might know from her blog, Cookie Madness, earned the $1 million prize for her Baked Chicken and Spinach Stuffing.

Kolcraft Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller + Silent Auction to benefit K.I.D.S.

Even though my "baby" is now 2 years old, I still am not quite where I want to be in terms of pre-baby body.  I am mostly concerned with the middle and lower half, it's just not working for me! I have found that with 3 kids, it can be really difficult to find the time to get a good work out in, at least one where the kids aren't bugging me every 2 seconds.  I have been trying different ways to get the exercise in even with kids around.  Yoga isn't really working because its just not relaxing when you have kids giggling and acting silly.  Treadmills and stair steppers aren't always the safest things to have in the house with small kids, and not in my budget right now.  So I decided I would try jogging.  And since I can escape more easily with just my 2 year old, I decided to tow her along in the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller from Kolcraft! Jogging is a great way to get those buns and thighs in shape, and the resistance of the stroller is an added bonus! I am so excited to jog my way slim!

Personally, I think this stroller is the queen of all jogging strollers!! It really has it all! First and foremost, I love how easy it was to put together. Almost all of it came assembled! I only had to put the wheels on, attach the child's tray, the adult cup holder tray, foot rest and the odometer! This took me about 15-20 minutes to assemble and double check it all.  And best of all, NO HUSBAND HELP NEEDED!! This is important to me! I like to try to do it on my own, but sometimes I have to call in my handy helper.  Fortunately this stroller is easy to assemble and there are only 4 screws to be put in total.

As far as features, there are tons! I mentioned that it has an odometer. This measures both your speed and distance.  This will be really useful to make sure I am keeping a good pace and to push myself to go a little further each time!  Something else I think is awesome is the iBaby Sound System.  You plug your mp3 player or iPod to the connector and you can listen to your favorite songs while you jog!
iBaby and Odometer on the handlebar and parent tray
This stroller has soft-ride air tires.  And the front wheel is fixed which makes it really easy to jog with.  And steering it with that fixed front wheel can be done easily by raising the front wheel and using the back to steer.  The handlebar is a SmartHandle that is adjustable.  To me this is one of the stroller's best features.  I am usually hunched over my stroller since most handles are so low.  That causes strain on my neck and back and makes pushing a stroller really uncomfortable.  This stroller handle rotates to multiple heights, so you can adjust it to the best position for you.
I love this stroller!!
I also love how the seat reclines.  Most seats require you to adjust with a button or something similar.  This stroller uses an easy to use strap in the back to adjust the seat. You simply tighten or loosen to the desired position.  This is the first of its kind I have seen and I really like it. This is a quick and easy way to adjust the child's seat.  The stroller has a great basket on the bottom to hold anything and everything you may need, as well as a hanging mesh holder beneath the parent tray, which I think is a great place for keys, your phone and other necessities you don't want loose.  I love this stroller, it has it all!!!

More details:
Weight of stroller: 27 lbs
Product folded size: 21.5 x 37.5 x 36.5
45 lbs. maximum child weight
Do not use this product while jogging until child can sit up unassisted


Stands up right even when folded!

SILENT AUCTION
Kolcraft is teaming up with K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distressed Situations) to hold a Silent Auction here on my blog! Kolcraft believes in giving back, and K.I.D.S. is such a great cause.  Plus this is a great way to help moms get a really great product for less than retail price! Kolcraft knows that it isn't always affordable for parents to get great quality baby and kids products.  The silent auction gives these parents the opportunity to get this great stroller at a great price, for a great cause! This partnership benefits everyone involved!

Personally, I think this is way more fun than your everyday giveaway!  I am really honored to be able to work with Kolcraft and to help connect parents with K.I.D.S. and raise awareness for this wonderful non-profit organization!!  K.I.D.S. has helped families to obtain crib mattresses, bassinets, strollers and more. K.I.D.S has reached out to more than 64 million children in need since 1985 by distributing more than a half billion dollars worth of merchandise donated by corporations.  This organization is truly amazing!!

A silent auction online is just like a regular silent auction. The starting bid will be $5.  So the first person to bid will bid $5.  The bids go up in increments of $5.  The auction will only run for a week, so you will want to check back daily to see what the current bid is!  The winning bid goes to the top bidder at the end of the auction, which will be 9pm PST February 3. If you are the winner, you will be notified via email on Friday February 4th. You have until midnight Sunday the 6th to visit K.I.D.S and make a donation by clicking the Donate Money Now link. After you have received your electronic receipt, send me an email at frugalfamilyfunspot@gmail.com  with a copy of your donation receipt along with your name, shipping information and phone number (for shipping purposes) and Kolcraft will then ship you the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller!! Very simple and fun!  (You are also welcome to make a donation to K.I.D.S. without bidding! We appreciate you supporting this great cause!!) 

Check out K.I.D.S on Facebook for more information about donations and this great organization!!

Cool Care Holder Review & Giveaway!

Have you ever been burned by a hot curling iron? How about your kids getting burnt? Chances are it has happened once, no matter how careful you are. Did you know that in an average year approximately
7,700 children under the age of five suffer burn injuries requiring hospital emergency room treatment
due to touching hot curling irons? There must be someway that we can help to reduce this number! Yes, we can be more careful not to leave hot styling accessories down where little hands can grab them. But it could happen if you are standing right there.  You would be surprised how fast it happens!!

The Cool Care curling iron holder is the answer to this problem!! It is designed to keep hot styling accessories off the counter and away from your hands!! They are made of stainless steel and work in any bathroom! They are even dishwasher safe, so you can keep it nice and clean!!  The Cool Care curling iron comes in wall mount and counter top versions, so no matter the size or layout of your bathroom, you can use one!!

I personally prefer the counter top version. I am renting so I don't want to put extra holes in the wall for me to have to fix later. And the way my bathroom is laid out, there isn't really any good wall space where I can reach an outlet. The counter version is the best solution for me. And I even found a way to hang it on a pre-existing wall hanger so it can stay up when I want and take it down when I need.

The Cool Care holder makes it really easy to grab your curling iron or flat iron safely.  No more burnt fingers!
Have you ever wondered if you left your curling iron on when you are out and about? Even if you did, it would be safe in the Cool Care holder, so you don't have to worry about a fire! This holder is a really great idea!  The counter top version also is very stable which I thought made it safer. You could have even a heavy curling iron in it, and it will not tip over.  Best of all, this holder only costs $29.95 with $8.50 Shipping! This is a great price for something to make your house safer!

As part of a group of other bloggers, I am giving away your choice of a wall mount or counter top Cool Care holder!! Read on to find out  how you can win!! You can also enter to win at the other sites giving them away! Click here to find out more!!

Powercapes Review & Giveaway!

In this day and age, there are lots of images on TV and in the media that leave our kids feeling inadequate.  I think this is very sad, and that we should take every opportunity to show our kids how super they are!! Since my kids were very little I have had little nicknames for them that show how great I think they are! My oldest is the Amazing Shae-Shae, my middle is Super Summer and my youngest is Serenity the Great.  I believe that by telling them they are wonderful, it will boost their self esteem. If I believe they are great they will too.  


One way to have fun with this is to play superheroes! We can put our nicknames to use and save the day! And what superhero is complete without a superhero cape? Of course, I am just not crafty enough to make my own. Haha.  I wish, but no such talent.  However, PowerCapes makes some absolutely amazing custom or personalized superhero capes at great prices!!  I am a huge fan!!

S

PowerCapes sent me this Kids Cape for my girls.  Since they all have the same first initial, it is perfect to share!! At $24.99 each, they are a little bit pricey for me to buy 3.  At least not all at once.  So I was really glad they were able to share it (And they actually didn't mind taking turns!!!)  This is a great idea if you are like me and can't afford one for each kid.  Even if you have one, it is fun to take turns being the hero and the person in need.  And don't worry if your kids all have different initials!!  They have a lot of different styles. I preferred the initial with the crown icon.  They offer solid colored capes, custom capes, initial capes, wristbands and so much more!!

Powercapes are a great gift for any child any time of year! They are even popular with celebrity moms! They are easy to put on and take off! They have a velcro attachment in the front to make it really easy!  And you can even find some for you! Make the whole family a superhero family!! So much fun!!!  Best of all, they are American made! You know that your money is helping to contribute to our economy and you are getting a great quality product!! Powercapes rock!!!


Want to win your own PowerCape?? Here's how!!:

Skoy Cloth Review & Giveaway!

In a household full of kids, a dog and my husband, there are usually many reasons I need a towel or a paper towel. And after a while it can really start to pile up! Either you have to wash towels daily, or you are wasting a TON of paper towels. Between normal cleaning and cleaning up after everyone, it gets to be a bit much. I am on a eco-friendly kick lately and have been searching for ways to lessen our impact on the earth.  In my quest for earth friendliness I have come across Skoy and their amazing Skoy Cloths! 

The Skoy cloth is an absorbent, biodegradable cloth that you can use for all kinds of household tasks!  Use it in every room of the house for all sorts of cleaning jobs!  I love it to pick up spills quickly and for washing dishes! I was really impressed at how well they held up to scrubbing pots and pans! And best of all, they are totally reusable! They replace sponges, paper towels, and significantly reduces your use of kitchen towels! This has gotten me down to washing kitchen towels once a week!!!
http://www.skoycloth.com/doc/C6.jpg 
Skoy cloths are made of natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp and is European made. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2 per roll, SKOY cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment. The SKOY cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight.  This cloth is definitely worth the money!!  A 4 pack is only $6.99!!  Best of all, since it dries quickly, you have far less bacteria on your cloth.  Another way to keep it bacteria free is to microwave it for 1-2 minutes, making sure you have it damp before putting it in.  (It is very important that the cloth is wet to avoid a fire)  You can wash your Skoy Cloth in the washer or your dishwasher!!  These cloths are so wonderful!!!


I have a 4 pack of Skoy Cloths for one lucky winner!! Keep reading to find out how they could be yours!!:

Dapper Snapper Review & Giveaway!

I have 3 little girls who are pretty slim in the waist.  This wouldn't be much of a problem except they are also pretty long legged.  So I have the problem of the pants I find in stores being great in the waist but too long, or great length and too big in the waist.  This is especially true of my oldest and youngest daughters.  My oldest is super skinny so nothing fits her waist, and my youngest always seems to have saggy pants.  So what is a mom to do?

I love Dapper Snappers for a problem like this one!! Dapper Snappers are a kids belt that only uses the back 3 belt loops of their pants. Elastic and snaps make this product fully adjustable and you won't need to remove it or unsnap it for diaper changes or potty training. This belt is great for kids 9 months-6 years old. 

This is a great alternative to kids belts.  Belts are hard to undo, and for anyone who has a kid, this is bad!! When its time to go potty, who wants to spend time trying to undo a belt? This usually results in an accident! By using the Dapper Snapper, you avoid tricky toddler belts and can get pants on and off with ease! Even your child can get their pants up and down without help!  

I got a pink Dapper Snapper. I use it for my youngest daughter.  Usually when we are running around and playing she struggles to keep her pants up! With the Dapper Snapper she has had no problems of her pants falling or sagging!  This makes both of us very happy! I am really glad I found a permanent situation to a "growing" problem! 

Dapper Snapper is offering $25 Gift Certificate for Dappersnappers.com to 1 lucky winner,Sponsored by Tomoson.com. Here is how to win!!:

MANDATORY ENTRY 2 PARTS MUST BE DONE FOR THE ENTRY AND EXTRA ENTRIES TO COUNT:
PART 1:Like  Dapper Snapper on Facebook and comment on their wall  OR follow on Twitter @dappersnappers and send them a tweet.  In your wall post or tweet tell them thanks for the giveaway!
In your comment, tell me your Facebook or Twitter Name!

Glamour Mom Tank review & giveaway!!

Being a mom doesn't mean you have to sacrifice comfort for style! There are plenty of ways to be cute and still be cozy! I love Glamour Mom for all my tank top needs! And their line of nursing wear is fabulous!  They offer great products for moms of all types, and even stuff for those of you not nursing!!
Mbody Starter Nursing Bra
I really love the Nursing Bra Tummy Control Long Tank! This great tank gives you a slimmer look by supporting your tummy with the inner support layer. The great design allows you to nurse in public while being discreet.  The built in nursing bra has easy to use closures with one handed access.  And I love that it is extra long! It goes great with a wide variety of shirts and jackets, so you can wear it anytime!  It is also great to have a longer shirt with the tummy support to help things get back to where they used to be! Getting that tummy pulled together can help to reduce stretch marks,which every mom dreads!!  And this tank encourages good posture, making it more supportive during nursing.

Mbody Starter Nursing Bra
The new Glamourmom® Mbody™ Starter Nursing Bra is a great bra for any nursing mom! This machine washable bra has cotton heat molded cups.  The built in inner sling gives the support you need, while the stretchy cotton/elastane blend allows you to stay cool and comfy!  This bra is even good to wear to bed! It adjusts over two sizes, which every mom knows makes it more comfy during the engorgement stage. The bra features a full, smooth high cut back with an adjustable chest band, and full breast exposure for easy nursing!!



I got to try this super cute Glamourtank® Bra Tank!: 
  • Patented fashion and function
  • Full built-in bra with soft cups for active support
  • Support pockets for breast enhancers
  • Machine washable
  • 92% Cotton, 8% Elastane
I love this tank top for layering!  I have some cute long sleeved shirts to go over it, shrugs to go over my shoulders or wear it with another tank over or underneath!  I love it for everyday wear or light active wear.  This tank gives the support you need without being too restrictive! 

Line Rothman, the creative mind behind Glamourmom, began in 2000.  She wanted a nursing top that could her the support she needed while giving her ease of access while nursing.  She created the first tank of its kind, with a built in nursing bra.  Glamourmom® has since evolved into a brand that supports an active lifestyle for new and expectant moms. Glamourmom® has become an expert in the built-in nursing bra concept, accommodating all body types and designing solution-oriented maternity and nursing wear in a variety of styles.

I love a shirt with a funny catch phrase! Makes it real entertaining when you look at someone lol.  And for those people who love them, there is a place to get great funny t shirts!  There are all kinds of hilarious and awesome tees at Nacho Mama Tees!! These are great for guys and gals!   And who doesn't love a great t shirt?

My husband is part Irish, so I got to review this Irish Drinking Team Tshirt!:
  I thought it was funny!  We thought the different shirts on their site were really great!! Nacho Mama Tees offers a shirt for anyone, male or female!  Most of these tees are not fit for wearing when you see your mom.  But some are pretty tame. I like this:
