cheerios spoonfuls giveaway

Over the past seven years, Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories has given away more than 35 million children’s books by distributing them free inside cereal boxes and has donated nearly $3 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families.

In addition to encouraging children to read, Cheerios is looking for anyone interested in writing children’s books. Now in its third year, the Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories New Author Contest is a way to encourage previously unpublished, up-and-coming children’s book authors and to continue to nurture a love of reading. Entries are being accepted March 16 through July 15, 2009 and will be judged on appropriate story and content for children ages 3-8, emotional connection, writing quality, uniqueness, and read-aloud potential. More details on the contest can be found at www.spoonfulsofstoriescontest.com.

Shellie Braeuner, the first year’s winner, won for her book “The Great Dog Wash”. This nanny from Nashville won a $5,000 cash prize and the opportunity to have her book reviewed by Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing. Simon & Schuster offered Shellie a book deal – and will publish her book, illustrated by Robert Neubecker, in hardcover this summer. In addition, Cheerios will be featuring “The Great Dog Wash” free inside 1.5 million boxes of Cheerios. The book has been specially printed in paperback in both English and Spanish and will be available free inside boxes of Cheerios this spring.

Cheerios is also announcing the winners of the second New Author Contest:

  • Lori Degman, of Vernon Hills, Ill., won the top prize for her story, “1 Zany Zoo.” In addition to winning a $5,000 cash prize from Cheerios, Degman earned the opportunity to have her book reviewed by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing. Simon & Schuster has since offered Degman a book deal; her book is expected to be released in 2010, initially in paperback distributed inside Cheerios boxes, and later in hardcover sold in the market.
  • Cheerios also named two runners-up in the contest: Tameka Fryer Brown, of Charlotte, N.C., for her story “I’m Not Eating That!” and Joan Stradling, of Star Valley, Ariz., for her story, “Who Invites a Pig to Dinner?” Both Brown and Stradling will receive a cash prize of $1,000 from Cheerios.

durex momshell giveaway

This Mothers Day, Durex the worlds #1 condom brand wants to help you spice up the bedroom.  After a day of changing diapers, chasing kids, cleaning, and everything else we mothers do, there is not much time or energy for sex.

Durex wants you to break out of that and remember you are a momshell. After today’s moms confident, sexy and far from being frumpy.  think of Christina Aguilera, Jessica Alba, and Angelina Jolie.  We may not have their body’s or looks, but we can have their confidence and be as sexy as they are.

Dr. Sari Lockeris giving insights on how you can enhance your relationship this mothers day.

 “Top 5 Ways My Husband Can Adore & Appreciate Me on Mother’s Day”

 1.  Remind me of the woman I was before I was a mother….the woman you lusted after.

 2.  Create a sexy, spicy evening with the Durex Utopia gel – the latest and greatest “female arousal gel” which has been created and tested by women for women using a unique combination of ingredients designed to stimulate, increase desire and bring me intense sensation.

 3.  “2 Minutes in Heaven” – Kiss me for two minutes without stopping.  My lips, my neck, the base of my throat — don’t stop kissing me until the two minute egg timer buzzes.  Two minutes will never have tasted so good.

 4.  Re-create a sexy movie scene with you and me as the leads.  Think “9 1/2 Weeks” and the refrigerator scene.  Gather some grapes and berries and feed me one by one. Add in some Quiver from Durex — freezable lubricant cubes that melt into massage oil.  The product is skin-tingling silky smooth pleasure packed in a cube.  Use them over every inch of my body for icy cool massage or lubrication.  Simply, freeze, apply and wait for meltdown…I might not remember that I知 a mom after this evening.

 5.  Write me a love note — just a few thoughts will go a long way.  Begin each sentence with “what I love about you most is…”  Include three to five things you love about me as a woman.  Forget flowers and candy — your words will fill my heart.

 I got to try out these great new lubes from Durex(thank you so much)

Utopia- a new female orgasm enhancement gel.  Utopia has been created and tested by women for women using a unique combination of ingredients designed to stimulate, increase desire and bring you intense sensation.  It is packaged like a high-end cosmetic in a small, glass vial (not a cheesy bright purple XXX-looking tube) and more than 80% of users have shown to achieve positive results. (Retail price between $16.99 and $21.99)

* We actually tried this out the other night, it was fun and pleasurable, but at the same time sticky.  It did the job though. it comes in a spray bottle, so if you have to spray a couple shots to get the amount desired.

Quiver-Think “9 1/2 Weeks” and the refrigerator scene.  Quiver is a unique, freezable cube lube.  Quiver is pure skin-quivering silky smooth pleasure, packed in a cube.  Use them over every inch of the body for icy, tingling massage or lubrication.  Simply freeze, apply and wait for meltdown… (Retail price $6.99) 

this i loved. it was like a melting ice cube, but better end results. you freeze the packets put it where you want it and watch it melt into blissful pleasure.   i know mothers day is coming, but if your looking to make your hubby quiver, this is the stuff you have to try.

Results from the Durex Global Sexual Wellbeing Survey of 26,000 participants worldwide show that a happy sex life directly translates to a happier overall well being.  And being happy — well that makes for a fabulous Mother’s Day.

Dropps baby laundry detergent

 

Dropps laundry has just launched a new laundry detergent. Dropps Baby. Dropps baby is a liquid laundry detergent that is dye free and enzyme free. to make it safeand itch free for babys skin. It’s great for the enviroment too! By removing harsh chemicals and water, there is no need for big bulky plastic bottles. they are tiny  super-concentrated toss and go laundry detergent packets.

 

how-The packets dissolve in the water and leave no residue on your clothes, it keeps your clothes  vibrant and soft plus keeps them bright.

it can be used in any washer, just toss in the pack. for a front load washer, set it in the washer on the bottom where the water will fill up first.

I really love this laundry detergent, it’s eco-friendly and safe for babies. My kids have always had excema and very sensitive skin, but it’s hard to find something very gentle for their skin. i was very skeptical when i recieved this for review how a tint little packet could get my clothes clean, but still keep my kids skin safe.

i was very suprised at how clean my lothes were, and my kids have not complained about their skin at all. my only complaint is that the package they came in smelled like a factory.

they come in a 20 load pouch in scent, dye and enzyme free.

they retail at $7.00

to find a retailer that carrys Dropps Baby please go here  or you can purchase them online at www.dropps.com
