Zebra Mix Giveaway!

2008-12-16T03:27:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is one of the coolest things I've seen. As a teacher and a mom who loves to be in the kitchen with my kiddos, this takes the cake. Or cupcake. Or brownie. Or cookie. Because they offer baking kits designed just for kids with fully illustrated instructional "maps" that walk kids step by step through the process of making a delicious treat. It incorporates Math skills (fantastic!) As well as language arts - reading skills, following directions and fun word puzzles. Mammalicious Finds is having a giveaway of one of their baking mixes (your choice!) You just have to go to the Zebra Mix site and then tell Mammalicious Finds what you like the best about them. WHat a cool stocking stuffer for your little chef, eh?

Tip Junkie is doing an awesome giveaway everyday for 12 days. 2 winners a day. There's some great stuff! Today is day #4 and they are giving away a very nice baby sling. I want one! (Not that I need one in any way, shape or form right now - but in the event that sometime in the future another baby joins the Butler Busy-ness I want to be prepared!) But it's not fair for me to have one when other people who actually HAVE babies might want one too. Oh well...

Mammalicious Finds: Elfing Around Give Away

This sounds like the most fun tradition ever! It reminds me of all the fun ways my parents used to make Christmas special. One year, we spread newspaper in front of the fireplace so Santa wouldn't track soot all over the house. Not only were there black charcoal-ey footprints all over the paper the next morning, but there were sooty deer hoof tracks going up part of our chimney outside. And then there was the year that I announced to my mom after Christmas that Santa wasn't real. That night, all my Christmas presents disappeared. I was distraught for a whole week. Then, for our Monday night activity, our WHOLE family went to the library. When we returned, I found all my gifts arranged beautifully on the living room sofa with a hand-written letter from Santa explaining how sad he was that I didn't believe anymore, and that he was even more sad that I was ruining the magic for my little sisters. I think I still believe in Santa after that experience! I still can't figure out how "Santa" got into our house while we were ALL gone. So check out this cute Christmas Tradition package from Elfing Around. And enter the giveaway!

Poingo Interactive Books

2008-11-14T07:45:00.001-08:00

Mammalicious Finds is doing a giveaway of these cool interactive books by Poingo. The look a lot like some of the others on the market, but retail for lots less. Great Christmas ideas! Check them out! I like that they use a lot of cross-curricular material. For example, the Cars book has a map that tells you which state you touched with the pen. They use Science, Math, Geography and Literacy concepts to get the kids involved.

So this is my new place to start blogging about the fun finds and giveaways I happen across while I blog hop and play during my internet time each day. I want to keep my other blog focused on my family & our comings & goings. So, here's my first fantastic find! A bow giveaway for Halloween! Visit AJ's Bow-tique to see the 10 darling bows you get to choose from if you win! She's drawing 3 winners, for this too, so more chances for all of us! Stinks that you have to choose just one style, though. My personal favorites are #1, #3 & #5. So get your hiney over there to check them out. And good luck! (I'm not sure why the picture won't work. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Oh well!)

Ooh, oooh, also, check out her etsy shop! I found the stinkin' cutest little dress there! Follow the link! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15764704
