Gone Pink

Dawniemom — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:47:25 +0000

It’s October once again. October is, among other things, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is more than just putting a pink ribbon on your lapel and declaring yourself aware. This is more than changing your color scheme on your blog to pink and declaring yourself aware.

This is more important than that.

Master Lock knows that.

Master Lock has gone pink as well. In an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer detection and prevention, Master Lock has introduced a line of specially designed “Pink” security products. More than that, they are also donating $15,000 to the breast cancer research foundation (BCRFcure.com) – not only are they raising awareness, they’re raising MONEY – and money talks in research.

So be on the lookout for Master Lock’s pink products. It’s IMPORTANT.

Blah blah full disclosure: I received a package of TWO pink Master Locks to review for this blog post. There – happy now FTC?

Kelly & Electrolux – at it again.

With September marking the start of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Electrolux and Kelly Ripa will once again lend their support to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) to help find a cure.

Ovarian Cancer affects thousands of women each year, and we need your help to raise awareness about this disease. Starting today – September 9th, Moms (and dads, sisters, brothers, aunts, etc.)can participate in a unique "Text-a-Thon for a Cause" campaign to fund research and promote early detection of Ovarian cancer. Moms can donate $5 to the cause by texting “KELLY” to 85944 from their mobile phones (standard text messaging rates apply) – or by logging on to www.kelly-confidential.com.

Each day you log on to the Web site, you are entered for a chance to win a luxury frontload washer and dryer from Electrolux in Turquoise Sky, the color of ovarian cancer awareness.

Aren’t they just gorgeous?!

Also? MOM CENTRAL has a set to give away also! Click here for that!

You can also help fund research by sending a virtual t-shirt to a friend during September. For every virtual t-shirt sent, Electrolux will donate $1 to OCRF.

If you really LOVE the t-shirt you design to send, you can actually buy one that was actually designed by Kelly Ripa, and all proceeds from those sold will go directly to OCRF.

So, head on over to http://www.kelly-confidential.com/index.html and send your text, t-shirt or pick up a washer & dryer while you’re there!

Disclaimer: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Electrolux and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Honey Kix Review + Giveaway!

Dawniemom — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:48:57 +0000

My kids love cereal. Of course, they REALLY love sugar cereal, but I buy it so infrequently, they have learned to like pretty much anything. There are a few exceptions. Those cereals that are really plain looking tend to get me the hems and haws if I try to even SUGGEST that they eat it for breakfast. So when I opened the box of Honey Kix and gave it to them, I figured I’d get the same ‘tude. But I didn’t! They didn’t even ask for the sugar jar. Honey Kix has all the goodness of Kix® cereal but now with a touch of honey! Honey Kix is a good source of fiber, calcium and vitamin D, contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily) and has no artificial flavors or preservatives. A perfect balance of taste and nutrition through simple ingredients, which both moms and kids can agree on!

If you would like to try the new Honey Kix, I have a great giveaway for you!

You will receive a coupon for a free box of Honey Kix, the cereal container, Kix cereal bowl, insulated on-the-go cereal container and an ADORABLE honey pot! Just leave a comment telling me what your favorite cereal is. No, not your kids – YOURS.

I’ll draw a winner on Monday (March 23).

I love movies. I really love fun, exciting adventure movies – and throw in hunky Brendan Frasier and I’m SO there!

Inkheart looks like such a fun movie, I’m really looking forward to it coming out so I can take Anthony to it. It opens January 23rd, and hopefully our local theater will carry it that weekend!

Today is the day!
