Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 7, 20102010-10-07
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

Boogie Wipes are an innovative tissue developed by two moms.  What makes Boogie Wipes so special?  They’re made with saline to gently clean little noses.   The saline helps to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by colds and allergies.  Not only are Boogie Wipes soft on a red, irritated nose;  they are alcohol, phthalate and paraben free!  I’m pleased Boogie Wipes has added extra comfort to the standard tissue and left out all the nasty chemicals.

We had the opportunity to try Boogie Wipes in our home.  We used the Boogie Wipes pack at home and Boogies on the Run (single packs) while out and about.  I was surprised at how well my kids took to Boogie Wipes.  We’ve been dealing with allergies over the past couple of weeks.  The kids have been using the graped scented and the unscented wipes for their boogies.  I think the menthol scented Boogie Wipes will be helpful during the cold and flu season.

You’re child can also get the opportunity to earn Boogs, the Boogie Buddy, for FREE!  Is he not just too cute?  Simply purchase 3 packs of Boogie Wipes, print out the form from the website and attach 3 UPC codes.  Boogs will be on his way to snuggling with your child.  He would be great to keep as a special stuffy when your child isn’t feeling well.  I know it’s the little extras my kids get when their “under the weather” that help make them feel better.

Buy It:  You can purchase Boogie Wipes at retailer locations nationwide.  Make sure you join the Boogie Bunch to print off a $0.50/1 coupon!

Win It: Little Busy Bodies is providing one Coupon Challenge reader with 2 packs (30 ct) of Boogie Wipes! You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries.

Little One Books Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 5, 20102010-10-05
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

My children and I were given the opportunity to choose a product from the Little One Books website to review for the Healthy Families Happy Kids Event. It was a difficult decision! We finally decided on “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” by Laura Joffe Numeroff. My kids are fond of the other books in the series, so this seemed like a wise choice. It is difficult as a parent to find something that a 6 year old boy and a 3 year old girl can agree on.  The kids are equally enjoying “If You Give a Moose a Muffin.”  It’s a timeless story that provides enjoyment to all ages. I especially enjoy reading it to the kids and getting the additional quality time with both of them.

Little One Books is an amazing company that provides a unique shopping experience for parents, family and friends looking for that perfect gift for their little one.  They offer children’s books, music and videos designed from birth – five years.  All products are hand selected, so you can rest assured your child is being provided with the best, most age appropriate media on the market.  The website is easily navigated and well organized. You can shop by age, by product or by keyword to find the best fit for your child.  Little One Books has taken the guess work out of finding appropriate media for children.
I also loved the personal touches added to each product.  Not only are you provided with a brief description and the best minimum age for each product, but with an explanation as to why the book was chosen.  You know that special care has gone into the selection of all the products featured on Little One Books!

Buy It: You can purchase “If you give as Moose a Muffin” online for $16.99.  Take a look around the site to see what other products your kids will enjoy.

Win It:  Little One Books is providing 1 Coupon Challenge reader with a $25 Gift Certificate to use on all the fabulous products on the Little One Books website!  You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries. I reserve the right to delete comments not adhering to these requirements

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 19th at 8pm EST.

Honest Kids Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 4, 20102010-10-04
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

Welcome to the 3rd giveaway of the Healthy Families Happy Kids Event!  See if you missed any of the great giveaways!
*CLOSED*

Honest Tea offers a variety of healthy, organic beverages for adults and children.   I loved the idea having Honest Tea be a part of the Healthy Families Happy Kids Event.  Honest Kids are specially designed juice pouches with kids wants in mind.  The pouches are a unique hourglass shape with fun and bright pictures to grab kids attention.  Parents can rest assured that Honest Kids are a healthy and delicious option for satisfying their child’s sweet tooth.

Honest Tea’s mission statement:
Honest Tea creates and promotes delicious, truly healthy, organic beverages. We strive to grow with the same honesty we use to craft our products, with sustainability and great taste for all.

Once you try Honest Kids products; I think you’ll agree that they have fulfilled their mission.  Honest Kids juice pouches provide a phenomenal alternative to typical juice pouches that are full of high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors and coloring. Honest Kids pouches are certified organic, contain real fruit juice and have a full serving of Vitamin C.  Plus contain less than half the sugar of traditional juice pouches!

Honest Kids pouches are available in these tasty flavors:

•Appley Ever After
•Berry Berry Good Lemonade
•Goodness Grapeness
•Super Fruit Punch
•Tropical Tango Punch

My kids had the opportunity to try all 5 flavors.  Monekyboy and LuLu were not fond of the Tropical Tango Punch, but loved the other 4 flavors.  I tried a sip of the Tropical Mango as well, but couldn’t quite figure out what I was tasting that didn’t work for me either.  Appley Ever After and Goodness Grape seemed to be tied for title of “favorite” in our house.  Both kids have begged for the Honest Kids juice pouches to be packed in their lunches everyday.  It has provided a nice change from their typical water beverage. Although, I am not a big fan of giving juice to kids on a regular basis, I will be adding Honest Kids to my shopping list.

Buy it:  You can buy Honest Kids at several retail locations or purchase online from Amazon.  Honest Tea also offers coupons to help keep you on budget!

Win it:  Honest Tea is providing one Coupon Challenge reader a case of 20 Honest Kids juice pouches!  You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries. I reserve the right to delete comments not adhering to these requirements.

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.

Coolkidz Review & Giveaway *Closed*

by Dana Zeliff on October 3, 20102010-10-03
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

Welcome to the 2nd giveaway of The Healthy Families Happy Kids Event!  See if you missed any of the great giveaways!
*CLOSED*
Keen Distributing offers a fun twist to the standard cold pack.  Coolkidz cold packs are gel filled cold packs that remain soft and flexible when frozen.  They are the perfect size for laying over a bruised knee, insect bite or on a warm forehead. The fun shapes and bright colors are sure to put a smile on your child’s face. 
 
We had the opportunity to try the Butterfly Coolkidz Cold Packs at our house.  I apparently made an error in my shape request because I ended up receiving 2 Butterfly’s instead of a Butterfly and a Orangutan.  Luckily, Moneyboy said butterfly’s are cool because they change from a chrysalis to a butterfly.  Ahh, the things they learn in Kindergarten! 
 
Unfortunately, my kids get a lot of bumps and bruises.  They are always outside running, climbing and riding bikes.  Monkeyboy is notorious for scraped legs as he tumbles off his bike or skateboard.  LuLu can be a bit clumsy as she tries to keep up with her big brother.  Both kids immediately head for the freezer when they get a bump or scape.  I’m not sure if it’s the cooling relief that helps them feel better or having something fun which gives them control over their injury.  Having the animal shaped Coolkidz cold packs in the house has meant less tears for my little ones. 
 
Some of the features I liked:
•Reusable

•Soft feel surface
•Stays soft when frozen
•Unique smooth edges
•Perfect size for small hands
•Hypoallergenic
•PVC-free
•BpA-free

Buy it: You can buy your own Coolkidz Cold Pack for $4.99.  Choose from 6 animal shapes to fit the personality of your child. 
 
Win it: Keen Distributing is offering one Coupon Challenge winner the chance to win 1 Coolkidz Cold Pack.  The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries. You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. I reserve the right to delete comments not adhering to these requirements.



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 Sunday, October 17th at 8pm EST.


**Mandatory Entry:
Go to the Keen Distributing website and leave a comment telling me which Coolkidz is your favorite (you are not bound to this choice if you win).

Frecklebox Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*

by Dana Zeliff on October 2, 20102010-10-02
in Giveaways

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

*CLOSED*

Welcome to the first giveaway of the Healthy Families Happy Kids Event!  I am kicking off the event with an awesome product!  LuLu opened the box and literally squealed!  What was in the package?  A personalized lunchbox from Frecklebox just for my LuLu!  I chose the Hula Girl style lunchbox, so she can get years of use out of it. It was a hard decision.  We almost went with the Garden Party style.

LuLu has taken her lunch to school in her lunchbox from Frecklebox everyday since it arrived, and she’s excited to carry it around with snacks when we go on long outings. I’ve gotten countless questions asking, “where did you find that?” Her personalized lunchbox is durable, easy to clean and super cute!  The only negative? Monekyboy wants to know when his will arrive!

Frecklebox sells more than just personalized lunchboxes.  They have a fantastic array of personalized gifts including personalized books, personalized growth charts, personalized stickers, and much more.  The ordering process was simple, and I was even able to see a picture of what the finished product would look like.  I love being able to see exactly what I’m ordering!  Even better, my package arrived only a few days after placing my order!

Frecklebox strives to provide quality, affordable, and eco-friendly products to their customers.  I truly believe they have succeed in their commitment.

Buy it: You can buy a personalized lunch box for only $29.95.  With over 90 styles to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your child.

Win it:  Frecklebox has been generous enough to provide a personalized lunchbox to one Coupon  Challenge reader!  The mandatory entry method must be completed before any extra entries. You must leave a separate comment for each method of entry. I reserve the right to delete comments not adhering to these requirements.

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 Saturday, October 16th at 8pm EST.
