YoPlait Yogurt Giveaway

I was just thinking the other day that I needed a day planner for next year.  I have one now that is more like a book and I know some people just don't use those type much these days.  But I love mine,  because I have been so busy this past year.  It really helps me to keep everything organized and in one place.  I've told Scott if you ever need to know anything just look in my day planner. 
So when Blog Spark offered this giveaway needless to say I was a little excited because it included a new daily planner for next year.
But not only that the prize pack includes a coupon for a free cup of Yoplait Light Yogurt.
Small changes can make a big difference over time.  That's why Yoplait Light has created the Yoplait Light Swap to remind people that by making simple substitutions, like swapping one item from your diet per day for a 100 to 110 calorie Yoplait Light, you can cut unwanted calories and help yourself feel great about daily diet choices. 
Yoplait Light yogurt offers 33 different options to choose from in fruit, pastry and dessert flavors that contain around 100 calories or less, providing endless swapping options.

Visit facebook/Yoplait to share your favorite food, exercise and fashion swaps, find recipes and quizzes. Alison Sweeney, host of "The Biggest Loser" and author of The Mommy Diet, offers this Top Swap Tip on how she maintains her weight with a hectic schedule.



One winner will be drawn next Tuesday, September 27th for the Yoplait prize pack.

It includes the daily planner, the coupon for one free cup of Yoplait Light, an insulated tote bag, a sunglass holder, water bottle, and a ballpoint pen.

To enter please leave a comment telling, which of the 33 available flavors of Yoplait Light yogurt do you plan to swap into your diet the most?

Mozaik Service for 8 Giveaway

Blog sparks has offered another wonderful giveaway.  Just in time for the Christmas parties and dinners.
When I showed my set to my son he had to look twice to realize they were plastic. 

To prove that your table’s appearance can be stylish and sophisticated when you use plastic, Mozaik expert Jennifer Lucas appeared on WEtv’s Designing Spaces in mid-November to share tips on how to entertain with more style. Visit designing spaces to view the segment online.

Mozaik is the perfect solution for those occasions when you don’t have enough dinner ware. For under $10, Mozaik’s new Service for Eight kit will help you stop scrambling for extra place settings when your guest list is larger than your china and flatware collection. The 40-piece “party in a box” adds eight place settings (forks, knives and spoons, salad plates and dinner plates) and is great for every holiday gathering from a small cocktail party to a large holiday buffet.

Designed to look like real permanent ware, Mozaïk is actually plastic party ware that can be washed and reused, or simply disposed of. It provides a fashionable, affordable alternative to paper plates and fine china. Available in both Classic and Contemporary styles, Mozaïk products range from round and square plates, to silver-look cutlery and serving items to mini appetizer ware, creating a nicer impression at any occasion.

Mozaik offers the ease of using disposables without sacrificing style; simply toss the mess for an easier clean up. You can also opt to reuse Mozaik, just hand wash or place the party ware in the dishwasher on the gentle cycle. The more care they are given the more times you can reuse them.

To find out more about the Mozaik line, visit mozaikbysabert. 

Now to win a set of your own, please leave a comment telling if you won
how you would use Mozaik to help ya'll entertain during the holiday season?

Deadline to enter is Monday, December 6th.

Visit the Progresso website for additional recipes, tips for cooking with panko, video and a coupon for $1 off any panko flavor.



“Panko has been a major part of some of my best crunchy dishes for years,” says Chef Chiarello. “It’s exciting to bring those dishes home, where some of the best dining memories are made. To me that’s what cooking is all about – sharing meals with your friends and family, and the memories you get to keep for a lifetime.”

Now for your chance to win this cookbook and box of Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko.  Just leave a comment telling what type of dish would you create with Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko?Additionally, be sure to check out the Progresso's Wine & Dine with Chef Michael Chiarello Sweepstakes.

Now on to the winner.  Congratulations Amanda!!!!!!!  I will be emailing you shortly to get your mailing info to forward to blogsparks.

The Penguins of Madagascar DVD Giveaway

It's time for another giveaway.   Blogsparks sent  me a box of Trix cereal, two launchers,  and The Penguins of Madagascar DVD.   We love having movie night with a bowl of popcorn with M&M's in it.  Yes the sweet and salty is wonderful.   Sometimes we have even added pretzels and goldfish snacks.

Inside specially marked boxes of General Mills cereals, you’ll “commence operations” with one of five characters from The Penguins of Madagascar; Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private or King Julien. Each participating cereal contains one character launcher with mission details outlined on the back of the box including:

Dive In, Soldier – Set an empty plastic cereal bowl on the table and try to pop your launcher into it. Wear a helmet or you’ll be squid bait.
Longest Propulsion Launcher – Challenge your troops to see who can launch their character the furthest. Go long or go back to the zoo.

Target Practice – Create a landing zone with a spoon and try to strategically drop your character into the sweet spot. Hit the target or go back to the drawing board.

Clear the Wall – Do you have enough projectile pop to push your launcher over the top of the box? Proceed launchin’ troops, earn those wings!

Each character is unique and has their own specific role, and together, they’re a team with lots of character. With five character launchers to collect, make a splash this summer and try to successfully complete all of their missions.


If you would like a chance to win this great giveaway just leave a comment telling which character from Penguins of Madagascar is your's or your child's favorite.

One fortunate winner will be chosen next Wednesday August 11th.

Blog sparks giveaway.......Go-Gurt Yogurt

This is my fourth review and giveaway sponsored by blog sparks.  I have to say it is by far the best one yet. 

New Simply… Go-Gurt is made from simple ingredients moms look for and contains no high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors or flavors. Each convenient portable yogurt tube contains a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Simply stated, Simply… Go-Gurt is a good-for-you, low fat yogurt snack that you can feel good about giving to your kids.


New Simply… Go-Gurt is available in two kid-friendly flavors, Strawberry and Mixed Berry.  I received my gift pak today and I can't wait to get my go-gurt.   Emily loves yogurt  so I'm sure I will be getting the strawberry one for her.

This gift pak includes a coupon for ONE Box any flavor Yoplait Simply Go-Gurt Yogurt, a pocket etch-a-sketch, a weekly planner ( that includes a notepad, post-it notes, daily planner notepad, and an accordian folder to hold your coupons ), and a seat back organizer.

  The organizer will be great for those summer vacations coming up.  It straps over your car seat , so there's no more:  I'm bored, Are we there yet, or How much longer?   It has plenty of room for small toys, coloring book and colored pencils.  I personally don't do crayons during the summer in the car.  Doesn't look to good if left in the car to melt on my seats or doors.

You can also go to the yoplait website for a printable coupon for a free 8-pack yoplait .  While supplies last, after that it will be $1.10 off coupons.

The coupons aren't valid in the following states California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, North Dakota and Tennessee.

Yoplait provided me with the free product, information, and gift pack through MyBlogSpark.


I will choose one winner for this wonderful gift pak on Sunday April 11th.

Mandatory entry is just leave a comment  sharing your wholesome snacking tips that make your child(ren) smile.
