Kinder Surprise Pink Celebrates Uniqueness

It is amazing to me how children from the same parents, brought up in the same home, with the same values and rules can be so different. With 4 boys and 1 girl, I am learning something new about my children every day.

Take Little C. She is so girlie. Everything is a bracelet or necklace. I have nieces that are not like that at all. It is not a little girl thing, it is a Little C thing. She even turns the rings form her ring stacker into jewelry! 

Then there is Little S. He is so obsessed with dinosaurs. He sits and watches dinosaur documentaries and has been since he was 3! I enjoy watching the little personality traits and even the quirks come out in each of my children.

Kinder Canada is celebrating what makes each of our child unique. To celebrate the launch of Kinder Surprise Pink, Kinder Canada will hosting an exclusive Facebook contest. Starting tomorrow, Kinder Canada Facebook fans can visit Kinder Canada and tell what makes their child so unique on their page.  3 people will be winning $250 VISA gift cards! The contest will be live from May 29 to June 19. How great is that?

The new Kinder Surprise Pink toys are perfect for those little girls in your life. The new line of girl toys is already making Little C happy. If she has her way, we will have all the bracelets she can handle!

Camp Packs Giveaway

Did you know that in Canada and the United States 1 in 6 children is living in an economically challenged home? These children often do not have the opportunity to attend summer camp. 
I personally know what is like to grow up in one of those homes. 
Camp Day is a special day where the Tim Horton foundation tries to help.

The Tim Horton Children's Foundation is dedicated to fostering within our children the quest for a brighter future. We are committed to providing an enriched and memorable camp experience for children and youth living in economically disadvantaged homes.

The Tim Horton Children's Foundation was established in 1974 in memory of the great hockey player, Tim Horton. The Foundation was started in Tim’s honour as a way to make a difference in the lives of children. The first camp was built in Parry Sound, Ontario, and was home to over 200 campers in its first summer of operation in 1975.

This year, Lovable Labels has teamed up with the Tim Horton Foundation to help. On Camp Day, Wednesday June 5, Lovable Labels will be giving back 20% of all sales purchased through to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation.

Is Spring Cleaning Really Done?

This post brought to you by Insurance Hunter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Most of us have tackled all of our spring cleaning tasks by now. we have washed the windows, aired out the house, de-cluttered. It is a regular routine by now.

Then we forget about an other big job: The family vehicle. We spend hours each week in the family van, and in summer there all the road trips, the camping trips, plus the usual activities. Whether you live in a busy city, or out of town, we spend a lot of time driving from point A to point B. 

Each winter we put on the winter tires, and pull out the heavy floor mats to catch all the snow and sand. The tires come off, but the mats typically stay in. I never thought about all the things we should be doing to prep our vehicle for the summer. Insurance Hunter has a great article with tips and reminders about what we need to remember every spring to prepare for the summer fun. Things like remembering to change those floor mats, and vacuum out all the sand and salt. Think of what is lurking in those little dirt clouds that appear when you step on your car mats. It can't be good to breath that all in all summer! Every time something is dropped, and we get in or out we are stirring it all up. Gross! 

Check out the vehicle spring cleaning tips. You might be surprised at how much you missed this spring! While you are there, take a look at the auto insurance quotes. Every one can use some savings, right? 

Air Walker Bounce Castle Giveaway

Exercise and fresh air are so important for our children. With something this fun, there will be no telling them to head out to play, they will be lining up!

Air Walker Bounce Castle Giveaway

Hosted By: So Sew Mama

Co-Hosted by: Embracing Homemaking, I Heart Giveaways, Embracing Beauty, Embracing Frugality, Xtreme Qpon

Sponsored by: Blast Zone

We wanted something that was sturdy and would hold our three children. We purchased our Bounce House off Amazon. At a discount, mind you. As soon as it arrived the mail carrier stated how obnoxiously heavy the box was. HaHa. It weighs in at about 60 pounds. Which really isn't that bad. I was surprised at how sturdy it was. I was able to carry our Air Walker Bounce Castle around back to set it up with ease.

  "BLAST ZONE" are one of the best brands on the market. First off, they are American made. The second thing is, you need to decide is what features you want like Balls, slides, hoops or whatever features you think you want. We love that it is extremely vibrant and bright. You can tell by the look on my kids faces that they love it.

Jabra Freeway Review

Cell phones have become a way of life. More people seem to have them than those that don't these days. They have gotten smaller and smaller, and more and more fragile over the years. Texting, Facebook updates, phone calls, all can destracting while driving. 

Some studies have shown the increased likelihood of an accident to be four times the normal rate when a driver is using a cell phone. In our province, you can receive a nasty ticket for using a cell phone while driving. I have a bluetooth head set, but I can not tell you how many times I have left it at home! 

That's why I love the Jabra Freeway. 

The Basics

Jabra Freeway is a speaker system bluetooth device that is also a FM transmitter. It easily mounts on your car's sun visor so it's always there when you need it. It can be connected to 2 devices, so there is never a worry about disconnecting your device if you share the vehicle. My husband and I both share a vehicle, so this is handy. When we drive together and a call comes through, there is no need to worry about a ticket! Before we had the Jabra, my husband never thought to grab his bluetooth, and leaving one in the van did no good, he always forgot to pait it until it was too late. 

Why You Will Love It:

• Industry leading rich and crisp sound with 3 speakers and Virtual Surround Sound
• Conversations are clear with thanks to an acoustically optimized design featuring dual microphones, echo and wind noise cancellation
• Turns on and off automatically using a built-in motion sensor
• Uses your voice to make and receive calls completely hands-free
• Easy to use. Voice guidance talks you through setup, tells you when you are connected and how much battery you have left
• Tells you who is calling 
• Easy to install. Pair to your phone and place it on your sun visor.
• Connect it to your car radio with the FM transmitter and listen to your music and calls through your car stereo
• Stream music, podcasts and hear turn-by-turn directions wirelessly from your phone using A2DP
• Control your music player using AVRCP remote controls
• Connect and use 2 mobile devices at the same time
• Dedicated mute button, on/off switch and large easy to access volume controls
• Long lasting! Up to 14 hours of talk time and 40 days of standby time

The Jabra Freeway is a life saver for us, quite possibly literally. I can drive my children with out worry being completely hands free. 

Buy it:
Check for a location near you. 

Win it:
Jabra is currently offering a contest for Mother's Day. Until May 9th, you can honor Mom, and pin to win! One winner will win $500 and a Jabra Freeway! Second prize will receive a Jabra Solemate! Visit Jabra's Facebook page for more details, and Good Luck!
