Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

I just got word about this fun event tomorrow in Costa Mesa and wanted to share     the info. Sounds like a great event to take your sons (or husbands) and get some     new boardshorts just in time for summer!  My husband is definitely due for an     upgrade!

Hurley is launching their most AMAZING boardshorts to date – the FLYWIRE – and they invite you to celebrate at this special event.  Bring in one pair of old boardshorts (any brand) to trade in and upgrade to a pair of FLYWIRE’s for 50% off retail, plus a chance to win a surf trip to INDO and other Phantom Prize Packages!

Have a great weekend, see you back on Monday with a FABULOUS giveaway you won’t want to miss!  But it will be quick, so make sure to visit us! xo Jen

So, my daughter is out of preschool this week so we have a busy week planned doing lots of fun stuff to keep her entertained (=and me sane!)

For those of you with kids off school this week too, three of my favorite blogs have written posts recently on great ideas to keep you busy. Even if your kids are not off, these blogs have some great ideas for local fun stuff. They are…

Daytripping Mom – Spring Break Ideas That Won’t Break the Bank
Fun Orange County Parks – 10 Ideas for Spring Break Family Fun Away From the Crowds
Just Spotted – April 2010 Calendar

And, of course, my “Outings” <- Click on Outings! Category has 46 Outing Ideas to peruse as well!

I might take a few days off blogging this week to hang with my daughter and take a little Spring Break myself too.  Or as much of a “break” as possible given the life of a stay at home mom of an almost 4 year old and 9 month old moving & grooving baby! Be back on my “regular” blogging schedule next week!

Congratulations! The winner of the Bag the Habit giveaway is….Teddi!

{I was sent 3 products as a gift from Gazillion Bubbles because they are super nice but I would have posted this regardless!!}

Did you know that Tupperware has  a whole array of products online? One of their independent consultants, Misti, contacted me about doing a giveaway and I said “sure!” Because really, who couldn’t use some new Tupperware?

It’s my baby’s favorite cupboard to explore these days.  Forget the toys, all I need to do is let her loose on the contents of our Tupperware cabinet and she is entertained for hours!

When I was browsing the website, I found a whole section of items for kids, and this feeding set caught my eye.  I love that there is a storage lid so you can pop it in the fridge if there are leftovers.  And, these days, many times meals in our house end up with leftovers!

Hooray! It’s a Tiny Giveaway! Misti is giving away a free Shape-O toy AND a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner.   We totally have that Shape-O toy in our house and I remember having the same one as a kid!  An oldie but goodie!  Please leave a separate comment for each entry!
