Sili Squeeze Reusable Snack Squeeze [+ Giveaway and Coupon Code!]

When we are out and about, I have to admit the snacks I pack for my kids are not always the freshest or healthiest. For time and convenience, most of the time the snacks I take along come out of a box. So when I heard about The Sili Squeeze reusable snack squeeze I was interested to give it a try. You can try it too if you win today’s giveaway (enter below!) I also want to share a special Sili Squeeze coupon codeSILITINYORANGES” for 10% off your purchase through 10/31/11.

Recently I got invited to a party where everyone was to bring an appetizer to share.

Goosie Cards Personalized Flashcards [+ Giveaway]

Recently we were contacted by Goosie Cards, a company that specializes in personalized flashcards for children, about doing a giveaway on our site. When I clicked over and saw what a cute product it is, I wished I would have known about Goosie Cards when my girls were in their first year!

The first thing that came to my mind was how much I would have loved to make a set of flashcards of our entire family with pictures and names. Cards like Nana, Papa, Oma and Opa with the grandparent’s pictures on them. Because to a grandparent, there is nothing more exciting than when their grandbaby babbles their name for the first time. And what a great way to teach them! Keep reading below for a Goosie Cards coupon code and to enter to win your own set!
