Pampers Kandoo Wipes Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 14, 20102010-10-14
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*
My kids love Pampers Kandoo wipes!  My youngest is 3 years old, so we’ve been out of diapers for awhile.  However, my kids still need a little extra “help” in the potty department now and again.  I love that the kids are able to get the wipes from the container without assistance.  The “pop up feature” is great!  The push button is perfect for little hands and the wipes come out individually, so they don’t end up using 20 at once.  Oh yes, we’ve had those instances!  Pampers Kandoo wipes are a fantastic alternative to baby wipes for older children!

Kandoo’s Flushable wipes are designed with your child in mind.  They are:

  • Easy to Use
  • Perfect for little Hands
  • Moistened with Lotion
  • Flushable
We tried the sensitive wipes (unscented and hypoallergenic) since my kids have sensitive skin.  Two fun scents are also available, Magic Melon and Funny Berry, for those without allergy issues.  More than anything, LuLu adores the Kandoo frog.  She kept the wipes container packaging just to admire Kandoo.  He is a cute little guy!
Buy It: You can purchase Pampers Kandoo wipes at retailers nationwide.  You have a couple options to save on Pampers Kandoo wipes.  Use the $1/1 coupon  from the 09/26 Proctor and Gamble insert (valid until 10/31) or register for a $1/1 coupon from the Pampers Kandoo website.
Win It:  Two Coupon Challenge readers will win 1 Pampers Kandoo travel pack, 2 FREE product coupons and 2 $1/1 coupons!  The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries. You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry.

The Winner will be selected at random. Please make sure you leave your email address with each entry. The Winner will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway.

SafetyTat Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 14, 20102010-10-14
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

SafetyTat is a must have for any parent.  My first thought when researching SafetyTat was how perfect they will be during our family trip to Disney World next year.  I’m a paranoid mommy, so having a way for park staff to reach me if one of my kids escapes is extremely important.  However, you don’t need to take a big vacation to put SafetyTat to good use. SafetyTats are useful for:

  • Theme Parks
  • Museums
  • Scout Trips
  • Playgrounds
  • Airports
  • Shopping Malls
  • Traveling
  • Stadiums
  • Water Parks
  • Site Seeing
  • Field Trips
  • Zoos
  • Drop-off Birthday Parties and Play Dates
  • First Day of School

Why should you use SafetyTat temporary tattoos?  A lost child will be frightened and often times unable to remember a phone number or provide information during such a traumatic experience.  SafetyTat allows for a potentially faster reunion of parent and child.  Parents can breathe a little easier knowing their child is identifiable. Plus the cute designs are sure to intrigue any child.

SafetyTat offers Original Style Kids’ Temporary Tattoos and SafetyTat Quick Stick Write-On! Kids’ Temporary Tattoos.  Original SafetyTats are customized with your phone number.  They are applied like a traditional temporary tattoo with warm water and last for 1-5 days.  Quick Stick Write-On! are “skin stickers” that you write your phone number (or a grandparent or sitter’s) on using the tattoo marking pen.  They are made of a “micro thin, durable elastomer that is opaque when applied to skin and provides an ultra-safe barrier so no ink touches your child’s skin.” Quick Stick write-On! last for up to 2 weeks!  SafetyTat also offers temporary tattoos that alert to allergies, medical conditions and special needs.

We found that both the Original Style and Quick Stick SafetyTat products were easy to apply and easy to remove.  My kids love temporary tattoos, so it was just another special treat for them.  I felt relieved knowing that my cell phone number was easily accessible if my children were separated from me.  I was also pleased with the variety of image choices available.  Currently, there are fun Halloween themed images to help make your trick-or-treat adventure safer.

Buy It: You can purchase SafetyTats online.  Prices start at $7.99, but you all know how I love discounts! SafetyTat is offering 10% off any order of $15 or more using the promo code TheCouponChallenge at checkout (code is case sensitive, valid through October 25th).

Win It: SafetyTat is offering two Coupon Challenge readers chance to win one sample pack of Quick Stick Write-On!; your choice of Boy, Girl, or Multi designs!  The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries. You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry.

The Winner will be selected at random. Please make sure you leave your email address with each entry. The Winner will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or a new winner will be selected. Entry for this giveaway will close on Thursday, October 28th at 8pm EST.

Earth Mama Angel Baby Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

Are you looking for high-quality, organic products?  Earth Mama Angel Baby has you covered.  They offer products to get you through pregnancy and beyond.

  • No artificial fragrances or dyes
  • Use eco-friendly packaging

We had the privilege to try 3 Earth Mama Angel Baby products.  The Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash and Angel Baby Lotion are made with organic vanilla and organic sweet orange essential oil.  The fragrance is amazing!  I was concerned with my allergies that the smell would be overwhelming, but it has turned out to be a perfect combination of vanilla and orange.  I also noticed that I needed very little lotion to leave my skin smooth and smelling delicious.

We were also provided with Happy Mama Body Wash.  Although I’m not as favorable towards the organic Lime and organic Pink Grapefruit essential oils, the scent is invigorating.  My entire family has used the products, and we all agree they have surpassed our expectations!  I wish we had been provided with larger sizes!  The kids even find the pumps fascinating.  It makes it easy for my 3 year old to wash up unassisted.

Buy It: You can purchase Earth Mama Angel Baby products online or at retailers in your area.  These products are even available at Babies R Us.  Don’t forget to print a coupon to enjoy Earth Mama Angel Baby products for less!

Gorton’s Seafood Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 12, 20102010-10-12
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

I know most of you recognize the icon above.  Gorton’s Seafood has been bringing families quality seafood products since 1849.  My family was given the opportunity to try Gorton’s Seafood as part of the Healthy Families Happy Kids Event.  The first product I purchased was Fish Sticks, which honestly is what I’d always associated with Gorton’s Seafood.  My husband and kids thought getting a super quick dinner of fish sticks was a big treat!

Browsing the freezer case at my local grocery store, I noticed that Gorton’s Seafood offers a wide variety of seafood products.  I decided to try the shrimp scampi.  It was a savior meal for me one evening when I realized I’d forgotten to take out dinner.  I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness and taste of the shrimp.  I simply cooked the shrimp and served it over whole grain pasta.  I added homemade bread and voila, dinner was served.  We had just enough shrimp scampi from one package to feed my family of four.
Recently, Gorton’s teamed up with Ortega to promote WE ♥ FISH TACOS.  Gorton’s and Ortega are also offering you the opportunity to win a trip to Mexico in the Fish Taco Fiesta Challenge as part of this new partnership!  The contest has been extended to November, so head on over and enter.My family is a big fan of fish tacos.  We typically use grilled fish or hand fried fish, but decided to give Gorton’s tilapia a whirl.  I saved a lot of time and the entire family agreed it was a winner.

My recipe:
1 Box of Gorton’s Premium Tilapia Fillets
1 Package of Corn Tortillas
1 Red Cabbage (sliced thin)
Ortega Salsa
Ranch Dressing
Hot Sauce (optional)
I cooked the tilapia fillets according to package directions and warmed the corn tortillas individually in a pan.  Place the fish, salsa, ranch, hot sauce and cabbage on a tortilla and enjoy!  My husband likes hot sauce and the kids add cheese and omit the cabbage.  It’s an easy and delicious meal for the entire family!  You can also get Gorton’s and Ortega fish taco recipes online to fit with your families tastes.
Buy It:  You can purchase Gorton’s Seafood products at retailers nationwide.  Print a $0.50/1 coupon or use the $1/1 Gorton’s coupon from the 09/12 SmartSource insert to get seafood for less.
Win It:  Gorton’s is providing FIVE Coupon Challenge readers with 2 Free Gorton’s Seafood product coupons!  You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries.

Winners will be selected at random. Please make sure you leave your email address with each entry. Winners will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or a new winner will be selected. Entry for this giveaway will close on Tuesday, October 26th at 8pm EST.

Piggy Paint Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 11, 20102010-10-11
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

I fell in love with Piggy Paint after reading about their commitment to providing non-toxic, kid-friendly, odorless nail polish.  After watching solvent-based polish “eat” through a foam plate; Piggy Paint’s founder Melanie Hurley sought to develop a nail polish without traditional chemicals and harsh odors   Melanie has since developed a line of vibrant colored, water-based nail polish and polish remover.  In April 2010, Piggy Paint also released a line of eco-friendly nail polish.

Our package with Forever Fancy Piggy Paint Polish and Piggy Paint Polish Remover arrived while I was sick.  LuLu convinced her daddy to paint her little piggy’s.    His first comment to me was “it doesn’t stink like your nail polish.”  Well honey, that’s kind-of the point!  Lulu loved her freshly painted pink nails, and I loved that I didn’t have to worry about her ingesting harmful chemicals.  I usually only paint her toe nails because she inevitably chews off the polish on her fingers in no time.

Piggy Paints slogan is “Say good-bye to harsh, smelly chemicals and hello to Piggy Paint™…it’s as Natural as Mud!”  Finally, mother’s of thumb suckers have a product we can feel good about using.

A few details I loved about Piggy Paint:

•Non-toxic
•Low Odor
•Water-based formula
•Hypoallergenic
•Fun, vibrant colors
•Dries to a hard, durable finish
•Cruelty-free
•Safe for use during Pregnancy

Buy it: You can buy Piggy Paint at several retail locations or purchase online. Piggy Paint is also offering
an exclusive 10% discount valid on anything on their website including sale items.  Use the code CHALLENGE10L at checkout, through 12/15/10.  Additionally, spend $35 and domestic shipping is FREE!

Win it: Piggy Paint is providing one Coupon Challenge reader a $15 Gift Code to order products of their choice! You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries.

Winners will be selected at random. Please make sure you leave your email address with each entry. Winners will be contacted via email after the close of the giveaway. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or a new winner will be selected. Entry for this giveaway will close on Monday, October 25th at 8pm EST.
