Fiber One Original ~ Prize Pack ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 11/10




If you’re dieting, chances are you’re hungry! You know skipping breakfast or drinking that diet shake just isn’t going to cut it. When diets leave you hungry, you can find yourself off-course and giving into dreaded and seemingly inevitable cravings.

How many times have you started a diet with a bang, but one indulgent moment and the whole thing caves in. Those indulgent moments happen when we're hungry, unsatisfied. I'm not a big dieter, but I have before and have experienced some of my most indulgent moments while dieting.

If I would have known about how Fiber One Original cereal can help stop hunger from taking diets off-course, maybe I would have had better luck.


Fiber helps satisfy your hunger so it’s easier to eat less and lose weight without feeling as hungry.


*One serving of Fiber One Original cereal provides more than half (57%) of the Daily Value of fiber.

*Fiber One Original cereal is a tasty way to start your morning on the right track with 0 grams of sugar, 14 grams of fiber, 60 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.

For more information or additional tips, please visit http://www.fiberone.com/.



I have found that if I start my day with a bowl of Fiber One and some fruit or a yogurt, that I can make it until dinner without being hungry. Fiber One does contain gluten, and while I am not strictly gluten free, I am conscious of how much I consume.




WIN IT!!!

One winner will receive a Fiber One Original Prize Pack that includes Fiber One Original cereal, a cereal-on-the-go container, food scale, water bottle and notepad for tracking what you eat.

MAIN ENTRY:

Tell me about one of your biggest diet missteps, or a secret you have to preventing a misstep & become a friend @ Wishing Penny via Google Friends Connect. Both parts mandatory to win - thanks :)

Quirk Books ~Masterpuppet Theatre: Shakespearean Fingerpuppets ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/06





The World of Shakespeare at Your Fingertips!



All the world’s a stage-and with this extraordinary book-plus kit, you can dramatize the most memorable scenes in all of theatre. Contents include:


•Sixty fingerpuppet cards featuring Shakespeare’s most famous characters, including Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, Shylock, and Falstaff

•Twelve stand-up sets of castles, forests, balconies, and battle fields

•A 96-page “folio” of classic scenes-from Hamlet’s “To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy to Romeo and Juliet’s classic balcony serenade

Once you’ve finished staging the Bard’s entire canon, you can mix and match masterpuppets to produce your own Shakespearean mash-ups. Perhaps your Romeo will fall in love with Lady Macbeth!

MIKE ROGALSKI owns and operates EYEWASH, a graphics studio in the Philadelphia suburbs. This is his first collaboration with William Shakespeare.

 
I love the idea of this set. As far as teaching, or learning Shakespeare, performing it is really how to best understand it. So for teaching Shakespeare, it's excellent.
 
Also, the verbiage is authentic Shakespeare,which often times is not the case in sets or books to teach children. To me Shakespeare is Shakespeare and to change it makes it not Shakespeare.
 
The finger puppets are awesome & include all the characters you associate with Shakespeare. The graphics are wonderful and it's cool to see these characters come to life.
 
The only part of this set that I'm not thrilled with, is that the stories are a little too condensed for me. The plays are not complete. But it's not a huge deal, if we want to act out all of the scenes, I can provide what's missing from a book, or online source.
 
Over all I think this is a fun set & great learning tool. Yes Shakespeare can be fun!
 
BUY IT:
 
You can purchase this set online @ http://irreference.com/ 
 
WIN IT!!!
 
One lucky winner will receive the Masterpuppet Theatre: Shakespearean Fingerpuppets set !

Shaun the Sheep: Party Animals ~ DVD ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/30

Are Ewe Ready For The Flock Party?

From The Creators Of Wallace & Gromit Comes The First DVD From The Second Series Of Shaun The Sheep!!

Shaun The Sheep Party Animals on DVD from Lionsgate And HIT Entertainment

Mischief-making Shaun the Sheep™ and his fearless flock of barnyard buddies are causing mayhem in seven new revel-filled episodes in Shaun the Sheep: Party Animals coming to DVD, Digital Download and On Demand September, 2010 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment.  Shaun the Sheep is the second fastest growing children’s brand (Source Nielsen) and each DVD outsells the last.  Five minute shorts of the series currently air in the U.S. on the Disney Channel, but full-length episodes are only available on these three formats.

There’s no disguising the fun with Shaun the Sheep™and his barnyard buddies in this party-fest of wild antics from the Oscar®-winning creators of “Wallace and Gromit™”. The farm is once again party central as Shaun, Bitzer, Timmy and those Naughty Pigs cause all sorts of mayhem, from flying cue balls and pillow fights to nights of disguise and intrigue. Grab your invitation to laughter for some sheep-herding mayhem that’s sure to rock the flock!


Episodes include:

Party Animals” - The farmer throws a costume party for his birthday. When Bitzer loses all the invitations, Shaun saves the day again. Disguised in their own ingenious costumes, the sheep stand in as the guests. But can they fool the Farmer into believing he is surrounded by his friends?



Double Trouble” - A bored Shaun dresses up as the Farmer to entertain the flock. Realizing he now has the power to boss Bitzer around; Shaun takes the opportunity to throw a party for the flock. All goes according to plan until Bitzer puts two and two together. Then Shaun encounters the real Farmer...



Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow” - The Farmer is preparing for a date! He wants to look his best so it’s time to dust off his prized hairpiece. Shaun can’t resist trying the wig on but loses it while showing off to the flock. The race is on as Shaun and Bitzer try to return the wig in time for the Farmer’s big night.



Pig Swill Fly” - The farm is looking spotless and everyone is on their best behavior when the dreaded farm inspector pays a visit. While the Inspector checks out the inside of the farmhouse, war breaks out in the field between the sheep and the pigs. Can Bitzer prevent the Inspector from noticing as the chaos escalates outside?



· “Operation Pidsley” - While the Farmer is away, the sheep sneak into the farmhouse for a party. But when Pidsley snaps a photograph of the fun and games, Shaun and Bitzer need to catch the malicious cat before he can show the incriminating evidence to the Farmer.



Shaun Goes Potty” - The farm receives a delivery of a brand new pool table. Before the Farmer can take it indoors, Bitzer and the flock have a game with disastrous consequences. They must repair the damage before the Farmer finds out!



Pig Trouble” - When Bitzer injures his foot and can’t work, the Farmer chooses the pigs to take over his role. The power crazy pigs take the opportunity to turn the farm into a porky paradise – at the sheep’s expense. Bitzer tries in vain to warn his master what is going on behind his back, but it’s Shaun who steps in and restores the status quo.
 
We love shaun the Sheep. It's witty & wholesome - like old school cartoons - nothing adult about it, just cute funny stuff. I like to sit down with Ju & watch it - it's entertaining to me too :)
 
Shaun is my buddy :)))

Tidbit Couture ~ Wool-in-Two Diaper Cover Set ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/30






Why is Merino Wool a Great Choice for Diaper Covers?

Let's ask the sheep ~ it keeps them dry and happy too!

Wool is an amazing fiber. Wool has been keeping us warm or cool through all climates, all the while keeping us in style for years! The natural combination of breathability, absorbency, softness, and water-repellence are why, there is NO question merino wool is the best choice for cloth diaper covers.

Merino wool is a protein based fiber made from Keratin – natural and renewable. Fine merino wool fibers bend when touched – therefore you feel softness instead of a rough, scratchy feel. Merino is soft and luxurious ~ resembles the hand of cashmere.

Easy Care – Wool diaper covers only need to be washed once every 1-2 weeks or when soiled. Hang to dry between diaper changes!

Breathable – Wool both absorbs while resisting moisture. Keeps skin temperature regulated. Allows moisture to evaporate. Less, if any, diaper rash and wool is better for babies bottoms than plastic conventional covers or disposable diapers.

Odor resistant – Wool has natural antibacterial properties. Odors are caused by bacteria growing – no bacteria, no odor! Wool covers can be air-dried between diaper changes.

Self-Maintaining – High lanolin content in wool neutralizes the urea in urine (turns to a salt). Therefore, no odor until the lanolin becomes less.

Durable – Wool fibers can be stretched and return to original shape. Incredible comfort for babies growth and movement.

Naturally flame retardant – No need for chemical flame retardants.

Sustainable – Sheep are shorn annually.

If you have not tried a Merino wool diaper cover ~ please do!

I am really liking this wool in two set. I have now lanolized the wool cover three times. I've noticed a cumulative effect and now I think I've gotten it to it's full moisture resistancy.

I was a little intimidated by the lanolizing process at first, but it's cake. Really easy.

I find myself using wool most at night and might get up midway and change the soaker, but the wool lasts the night through. Then in the morning I hang the wool to dry and it's ready to use again that night. Love it and am going to invest in more wool.

Natural materials are just better - they allow breathability, & loft like no synthetic can. I feel good about natural fibers being contact with my baby's skin, where as any time there are synthetics, I have to worry a bit. With Tidbit Couture, there is no worry :)

So yeah, I highly recommend this system. It's versatile - it comes with a snap in soaker & doubler, but you can use with a fitted or prefold and use any doubler with the wool cover, and the same with the soaker & double - you can use it with any other cover. That makes it nice.

Comes in nice colors. The wool cover is merino wool  interlock & the soaker insert and doubler is organic cotton velour. Nice and soft :)

BUY IT:

You can purchase this wool set and other all natural cloth diaper and baby products at Tidbit Couture - http://www.tidbit-couture.com/

WIN IT!!!

One super lucky winner will receive a wool-in-two diaper cover set like pictured above, in their choice of size & color :)

Lawry's~ "What's Your Flavor" Prize Pack ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/27


People with a passion for food love expressing themselves through their cooking. Whether it’s marinades, seasoning mixes, or spice blends, Lawry’s products are a great way to express yourself in the kitchen by adding flavor to your favorite foods.


A recent Lawry’s survey found that your choice of flavor says more about you than you think. The nationwide poll looked at preferences for tart, spicy, sweet, and savory flavors and found that your choice can reveal some interesting aspects of your personality.


What’s your flavor?

Joyous Joiners - Tart Flavors

If you are one for tart flavors, you tend to be extremely happy overall, particularly with your family, finances, work/life balance and even your health. As a Joyous Joiners you are an extrovert who loves to entertain at home, find it very important to join in social events in your community and are active on the greatest number of social networking sites.

Self-Assured Adventurers - Spicy Flavors

If your preference is for spicy flavors, consider yourself a confident, adventurous individual with a passion for travel and cooking. You are the biggest risk taker and although impulsive, you are not reckless – as a Self-Assured Adventurer you also tend to be resourceful, analytical, and most able to “look at the big picture.”

The Sweet Lifers - Sweet Flavors

As a Sweet Lifer, home and family are close to your heart. You are the kindest and most loyal, although you probably wouldn’t admit that as you are also the most modest. As an individual that prefers sweeter flavors (honey and fruit-infused), you are influenced by your parents, enjoy family entertainment, and consider yourself spiritual.

The Conventionalists - Savory Flavors

Your passion for savory flavors shows you have an enthusiasm for politics, enjoy camping and hiking and love outdoor barbecues and American cuisine. Along with the other Conventionalists, you tend to be more introverted than the rest of the groups and often describe yourself as a homebody.

Lawry’s has something for you no matter what your flavor is, including two new marinades and four new Seasoning Mix packets that help create simple meals with an abundance of flavor:


Marinades

Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ gives meat a delicious sweet and sour flavor with a touch of Szechuan heat

Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato includes extra virgin olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet red bell peppers and the perfect blend of herbs


Seasoning Mixes

Asian Style Beef & Broccoli – This easy to prepare stir fry meal will remind your family of their favorite Asian restaurant. The dish combines beef, broccoli and seasonings with a hint of garlic. Serve it over rice and you have a complete, satisfying meal.

Chimichurri Burrito Casserole – Lawry’s gives the familiar Burrito casserole a new twist with this traditional Latin American sauce. With a few simple fresh ingredients, mealtime just got a lot more exciting.



Mediterranean Sundried Tomato & Garlic Chicken – Add a taste of the Mediterranean to your family’s casserole. This easy to bake casserole combines chicken, pasta, tomatoes and Feta cheese to easily make a flavorful meal any night of the week.



Tuscan Style Chicken Marsala with Garlic and Basil – Chicken Marsala is a restaurant favorite, but it might not make the menu at home. This effortless version comes together on your stovetop with just a few fresh ingredients. Flavorful garlic and basil gives this meal its own Tuscan flair, perfect for serving over pasta or rice.



I like all the flavors above. That must mean I'm a Joyous Joining, Self-Assured Adventuring, lovin The Sweet Life, Conventionalists. Or maybe it just means I love flavorful food! And with Lawry's, flavorful food has never been easier with so many choices!

We marinated a pork loin with the Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato, and it turned out really well. The whole family loved it. We also did the Asian Style Beef & Broccoli. That was super yum! I can't wait to try all the flavor choices from Lawry's new selection.


WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive this great prize pack which includes : a pyrex marinating dish, a set of skewers, Lawry’s two new marinades, as well as a sample of each of the four new Seasoning Mixes and a bottle of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt .

Yoplait ~ Save Lids to Save Lives 2010 ~ Prize Pack ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/26



According to Komen.org, 10 million people could die of breast cancer in the next 25 years. As breast cancer continues to impact far too many of our loved ones, we invite you to join the cause. This fall, look for specially-marked pink lids on Yoplait yogurt cups through Yoplait’s Save Lids to Save Lives campaign.


For every pink lid saved and sent in by December 31, 2010, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, with a total donation of up to $1.6 million and a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000. To date, Yoplait has raised more than $25 million for the breast cancer cause.




In an ongoing effort to educate and encourage women of all ages to put their breast health first, Yoplait’s Save Lids to Save Lives campaign is once again collaborating with celebrity breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk, in addition to the founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Nancy G. Brinker and MTV star Audrina Patridge. Through their relationship with Yoplait, these empowered women are encouraging everyone to save their pink lids and join the fight against breast cancer.



How Can You Help Contribute to the Cause?

Be sure to sure to save the lids from your favorite participating Yoplait products including all single serve yogurt cups – Original, Light, Thick & Creamy, Light Thick & Creamy, Whips!, Yoplait Delights, Yoplait Greek and select specially-marked packages of large size Yoplait yogurts and Yoplait Frozen Smoothies. Remember, there are no specialty codes, so be sure to save and send in your pink Yoplait lids by December 31, 2010.

Find out more here http://www.yoplait.com/slsl/
 
Breast cancer awareness month 2010 is bigger than ever - and that is a wonderful thing. It has also been a harsh reminder, every pink ribbon I see, of my dear friend who lost her battle to breast cancer last January. I had never been affected by cancer before then. I feel bad even typing the word. I think of her everyday.
 
Every lid is close to a cure, closer to one more child not losing their mother to breast cancer. Save lids, save lives. Every lid counts. It effects all of us. I encourage you to get tested and monitored regularly by your doctor or gynecologist & do regular self exams.
 
WIN IT!!!
 
One winner will receive a prize pack that includes 2 VIP coupons for Yoplait Greek, a pink leather journal and pen and an awareness charm bracelet. In addition, Yoplait will make a $25 donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® on behalf of the winner
 
MAIN ENTRY:
 
Tell me how you might encourage friends, family, co-workers etc. to collect lids for lives & become a friend @ Wishing Penny via Google Friends Connect. Both parts mandatory to win- thanks :)

Bit'Z Kids ~ Review

This review was a disaster and I'm going to have to report it as such. I have never had something like this happen.

Bit'Z Kids has wonderfully cute, stylish, and quality clothes for children. The outfit you see on Ju above was provided to me by them to review.

I took this pic of him releasing the butterflies he raised, right before we left for the lakes this Summer. I packed this outfit, planning to take some amazing pictures of him at the scenic lake. When I got there I couldn't find the top. I called home and it couldn't be found here either. We all looked EVERYWHERE for this top.

So when I got home from the trip I called the cleaners from the lake house and everything. The shirt was gone, and I was ready to pop with Capri.

I went into false labor while my Grandma was still here. Following this life got hectic - lots of out of town doctors appts to monitor my progress. Super hectic & stressful with swollen feet & hot summer.

I get a rather nasty letter from Bit'Z Kids owner. I can't say I blamed him but figured once I explained he would completely understand. I still planned on hosting the review. I decided I would purchase another shirt to replace the lost one. I told him I would do it the next day but didn't realize the credit card was maxed. I paid the card and about a week later I go & order the shirt. The day after it arrives in the mail, I get a really nasty letter billing me and dropping words like "attorney fees".

Honestly this review was near the last thing on my mind at this point - I was two weeks over due and facing the opposite type of delivery that I had worked hard to prepare for. And after the letter, I was ready not to do the thing anyway.

But in all fairness, I did take way longer than normal to get this work done. But it in no way warranted the treatment I received and I'm not going to give a great review. I hope that this shop owner treated me like this on a fluke, just as my delay and loosing of the shirt was a fluke on my part.

Havaianas ~ Sandals ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/16

Like a comfy rainbow for your feet, Havainas has every color, and every fun design flip flops.

I love my flops and Havaianas are the best. They got me through the whole summer. I think the only time I wasn't in them was when I had on my bad boys to mow the yard in! I seriously wore them all Summer long and now that cooler weather is setting in, I'm realizing I'm going to have to retire them until next year :(

The good news is, there will always be Havainas in all my favorite colors next year. I always have black and grey as staples and I add a couple fun colors or designs. Blacks are always beat up ready to be tossed at the end of the season.

I am happy to say that I have never had a blow out in my Havainas. That was just something that happened with the other brand and it was just a good thing when it happened at the beach vs the grocery store or something.

The latest style I am liking is the FIT - again had to do black. A little more stylish, boho - cute with a flowy skirt or capris. I love them - aren't they cute?

And think goodness this review is over - I'm so tired of spelling Havaianas!!!!




So for fun, comfort, and quality, check out Havaianas for happy  & cute feet for Him , Her, and Kids :)

BUY IT:

You can purchase Havaianas online @ http://us.havaianas.com/ and anywhere from GAP , Saks , and Amazon.
