Somewhere in the craziness that has been my last couple of weeks I totally forgot that I had a giveaway 3 weeks ago and I never chose a winner. I guess I’m failing at this blogging thing lately but it won’t last forever. I promise.

So, without further ado, the winner of the $25 gift card to Publix is…

HEATHER N, whose kids ring strangers’ doorbells randomly and ask they’ve seen any rabbits, or if you have some wound care.  You should really read her blog.

Heather, I’ll be emailing you.

And in other news, I’m going to try not to not blog.  Our router broke, which means our only computer is the one in the living room and we are all sharing it.  Since just about all of Joe’s schooling is done on the computer, and most of our shopping, and Kait’s political stuff and presidential debate watching, that leaves only so much time for me to jump on here.  And usually, if nobody is using the computer it’s because we’re outside or cleaning or eating.

However, I’m going to make more of an effort to update the web-world on our goings-ons so watch out everybody because I’m back.  Maybe.  I’m not making any promises. Except for the one in the first paragraph.  And I didn’t really mean that one so it doesn’t count.

I’ll leave you with these pictures of my year and a half old baby girl who is FREAKING POTTY TRAINED, PEOPLE.

Lucy’s got a gun.
(It’s just a toy so you can stop flipping out now.)

Pigtails and a pistol.

My Blog Spark and General Mills are back again, bringing you another very shiny, new, rectangle-y $25 gift card to Publix. As I have said before, these are my favorite giveaways because gift cards make me smile and feel happy and Publix restores my faith in grocery store employees every time. Except when I’m using a lot of coupons.

To enter this giveaway you must:

1. Read this post in its entirety. With interest, Yall, because I SAID SO.
2. Leave a comment telling me about how would eat Lucky Charms, should you have a bowl of this breakfast delicacy in front of you. Would you eat all the marshmallows first, or would you go for the cat food shaped pencil shavings first? If your comment doesn’t say anything about Lucky Charms cereal I’m going to assume you didn’t read this post, your comment won’t count, and all my other commenters will laugh at you and probably throw spitballs at you (but not in a mean way because that would be wrong). That’s just how we roll around here, people.
3. Make sure that your email address is real. I shouldn’t have to explain why here but I won’t publish your email. It’s only used to notify you if you win.
4. You can leave a second entry if you pass this giveaway on via your blog or Facebook or Twitter or however.

Enter to win by September 29th, 2012. The winner will be announced shortly after.

Now – read on to find what this is all about.

Run In event. September 20th through September 26th, 2012, you can take advantage of the great savings available on some of your favorite brands from General Mills.

Getting the kids ready for school in the morning can be stressful enough without someone yelling, “Mom we ran out of toilet paper!” Instead of feeling frustrated because you can’t squeeze the remains from a tube of toothpaste or realizing there are no after-school snacks in the house when the kids hop off the bus, stock up on the products you use every day and breathe a little easier. This September, visit your local Publix® during the Running Out? Run In. promotion and receive rewards for buying the General Mills and Procter & Gamble items your family uses most, like Cheerios, Totino’s, Charmin and Crest.

First, My husband left on deployment this week so although we did try the baguettes and enjoyed them, I haven’t really the energy to write a lengthy review post of these crunchy snacks. Just know that we did enjoy them, me not as much as everybody else though. Rabbit decided they were really good and he would, in fact, purchase them at the store. I thought they were moderately good but would definitely choose something different.

Looking for ways to spice up your snacking routines? Pillsbury knows just how you feel and wants to awaken your taste buds with their new Pillsbury® Baguette Chips! These hearty chips are sliced from oven baked bread and topped with savory seasonings bringing the unique and contemporary flavors of Italian Cheese &

Herb and Cheddar Sun-dried Tomato to gourmet snack chips. The delicious flavors and perfect texture of these crispy chips can help you round out any recipe

• Enjoy Pillsbury Baguette Chips for a wide range of occasions: eat them alone, add a bit more flavor to your favorite dip, spice up soup, or add some crunch to your salad! 
• With 130 calories per serving (21 baguette chips), and 50% less fat than regular potato chips*, Pillsbury Baguette Chips are delicious snack chips that you can feel good about eating

If that’s not enough to get your mouth watering, then check out these delicious chips for yourself.  To download a printable coupon for $0.75 off one package, you can visit http://bit.ly/PBCcoupon today!

*Pillsbury Baguette Chips (5g fat per 29g serving); regular potato chips (11g fat per 29g serving).  See nutrition information for sodium content.

This week’s giveaway is for six boxes of Mott’s Fruit Snacks. They are yummy and I have 4 prize packages to award! YAY!

To enter this giveaway you must:

1. Read this post in its entirety. With interest, Yall, because I SAID SO.
2. Leave a comment telling me about your favorite fruit shaped candy or snack. As an example, if you enjoy banana shaped Runts you might say in the comments, I like banana shaped Runts. Also, your blog is awesome and I think you’re pretty much the best blogger ever.
3. Make sure that your email address is real. I shouldn’t have to explain why here but I won’t publish your email. It’s only used to notify you if you win.
4. You can leave a second entry if you pass this giveaway on via your blog or Facebook or Twitter or however.

Enter to win by June 26th, 2012. The winner will be announced shortly after.

Now – read on to find what this is all about.

First, My husband left on deployment this week so although we did try the fruit snacks and we loved them, I haven’t really the energy to write a lengthy review post of these little gummy goodies.  Just know that we did enjoy them and I really appreciated how soft they were and that my one year old could eat them easily, however, we were again disappointed in the misrepresentation of the true fruitiness of them. They are made with natural flavors, yes, but are mostly artificial. They are not what I would call a super healthy snack – but they were super delicious.

Summer is on its way and with that comes a schedule jam packed with play dates, summer camp, and road trips.  With all these activities planned, there is one thing your kids are sure to need … great tasting snacks! Fortunately the Mott’s® taste that kids love is now available in yummy fruit flavored snacks! Available in Assorted Fruit and Berry varieties, Mott’s® Medleys Fruit Flavored Snacks are the ideal blend of great tasting and quality ingredients that will make both kids and moms happy.

• Made with real fruit & vegetable juice* and natural colors and flavors
• Available with year round Double Box Tops

Mott’s® Medleys Fruit Flavored Snacks are great on-the-go, so whether your family is lounging by the pool, playing in the park, or hanging on the beach this summer, Mott’s® has snack time covered!

*Made with pear, apple and carrot juice concentrate. See package for complete details. Not intended to replace fruit or vegetables in the diet.

So go ahead and enter this giveaway and then go here to download a printable coupon for $0.60 off the purchase of (1) Mott’s® Medleys Fruit Flavored Snacks today!

We will announce the winner here. I’ll also email you if you’ve provided your email address. But, I can’t hang onto your winnings forever so make sure you check back!

Today’s giveaway is a cereal Fund-Da-Middles cupcakes prize pack from Betty Crocker and My Blog Spark and it includes the following awesomeness:

• One sample of new Betty Crocker Fun da-middles cupcake mix
• One cupcake pan
• One oven mitt
• One package of cupcake liners
• One box of cupcake gift notes

To enter to see if you could be chosen to receive your very own Betty Crocker Fun da-middles prize pack you must take the following course of action by the end of the day on Oct 10th, 2011. US addresses only. Feel free to enter even if I “know” you. Winners are chosen randomly.

1. Read this post with interest. Fun da-middles are like Twinkies only not stale and that makes them awesome.
2. Tell me something good. Or funny. Or anything really. Just make it about cupcakes or cake or parties or anything really. This shouldn’t be too hard because just about everybody likes cupcakes. Do this in the comment section. I really, really want a cupcake right now.
3. You can leave a second comment if you chose to pass this giveaway on to somebody else. Like through a link on your blog or Twitter or Facebook or something. This will take a little more effort but it will gain you a second entry. You may find this worth it but one time I entered to win a gaming system that had over 600 entries and 8 ways to enter and I only chose one method of entry. I won. It was awesome. I felt like all happy and stuff about it until I remembered that I believe all gaming systems should be burned with fire. But I didn’t have to buy Joe a Christmas present that year. It was bitter sweet.

Have I mentioned before how easily sidetracked I am?

Kait wipped these up as a mid day snack and they smelled so, so good baking. When they were finished the boys devoured them and I had to hide the last couple so I could try them when I was ready. I like to save my treats until after the baby is sleeping because I tend to enjoy sweeties more when I’m not having to concentrate on anything else.

I like these. A lot. They are like Twinkies but not stale and I looked for them to buy more but they didn’t have them at my Commissary. I will definitely keep looking for them each time I shop.

And here a quick word from Betty Crocker and Mom Select:

Combining cake mix and filling pouch in one box, Fun da-middles cupcakes have a special creamy filling that bakes inside the cupcake. Available in three delicious flavors, Vanilla Cake with Creamy Chocolate Filling, Chocolate Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, and Vanilla Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, Fun da-middles cupcakes are a fun and portable treat that children can take everywhere they go!

Remember to go ahead and enter to win the Betty Crocker Fun da-middles giveaway now so you don’t forget!

1 winner will be chosen on or around 10/11/2011.

We will announce it on the blog here. I’ll also email you if you’ve provided your email address. But, I can’t hang onto your winnings forever so make sure you check back!

Today’s giveaway is a cereal treat bar prize pack from Betty Crocker and My Blog Spark and it includes the following awesomeness:

• One box of Lucky Charms^®Cereal Treats Bars
• One box of Golden Grahams^®Cereal Treats Bars
• Lunch bag
• Locker whiteboard
• Colored pencil set

To enter to see if you could be chosen to receive your very own Betty Crocker Cereal Bar Treat prize pack you must take the following course of action by the end of the day on Sept 14th, 2011. US addresses only. Feel free to enter even if I “know” you. Winners are chosen randomly.

1. Read this post with interest. These cereal bars are really good so it shouldn’t be too torturous.
2. Tell me something good. Or funny. Or anything really. Just make it about breakfast. Like a cereal memory or humorous story. This shouldn’t be too hard because everybody ate cereal one time. Do this in the comment section.
3. You can leave a second comment if you chose to pass this giveaway on to somebody else. Like through a link on your blog or Twitter or Facebook or something. This will take a little more effort but it will gain you a second entry. You may find this worth it but one time I entered to win a gaming system that had over 600 entries and 8 ways to enter and I only chose one method of entry. I won. It was awesome. I felt like all happy and stuff about it until I remembered that I believe all gaming systems should be burned with fire. But I didn’t have to buy Joe a Christmas present that year. It was bitter sweet.

Have I mentioned before how easily sidetracked I am?

We got this same package in the mail last week and I have to say that, while I was happy about the adorable white board because I always have something to write on a white board and the neat colored pencils because I like to draw, I really wasn’t all that excited about the cereal bars. First, I figured they’d be too sugary; and second, I thought they’d probably be small and not likely a good snack for anybody in this house. I was right on them being fairly small and it really took two of them to be considered snack worthy. However, while sweet, they were fairly low in the calorie department, probably because they were small. This would be better for somebody counting calories and eating smaller snacks. My 6 boys, however, are quite active all day long and can become ravenous when it comes to food – these treats would not have stuck around long had I not rationed them so everybody could try them. And did I mention they were tay-stee? These things were so good. Not quite a replacement for cereal and milk, but definitely a delicious desert-like treat.

I am pleased.

And here a quick word from Betty Crocker and Mom Select:

These flavor-packed Cereal Treats Bars are sure to meet the ‘cool factor’ that kids demand. Check out Cereal Treats Bars online for great information and coupons for new products. Also, be sure to visit the Betty Crocker Facebook page and get involved in the conversation. We’d love to hear how your family enjoys Cereal Treats Bars!

Remember to go ahead and enter to win the Betty Crocker Cereal Bar Treat giveaway now so you don’t forget!

1 winner will be chosen on or around 9/15/2011.
