Your chance to win an iPad Mini or Six Flags Tickets!

Bubbles loves to create messes, though she doesn’t exactly like to be a mess herself (we spent five minutes tonight making sure that all errant pieces of glitter were washed off her hands; I swear that girl can see microscopic sparkles). That’s why I always keep a stash of Wet Ones handy! They’re great for de-glittering, de-cheese-ing, and many other sticky situations.

If you have a sticky story of your own you don’t want to miss the Wet Ones Sticky Situations Facebook contest! Visit their Facebook page and share your story as well as tips on how to deal with messes. It only takes a minute to enter and you could win an iPad Mini or 4-packs of tickets to Six Flags!

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Wet Ones. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Disney’s Frankenweenie Monstrous Sweepstakes!

Tim Burton's Frankenweenie releases October 5th, 2012

Disney’s Frankenweenie opens next week on October 5th and I’m really excited. I love Tim Burton movies and I have no doubt that this will be just as awesome as the rest of his films. It’s the story about a boy and a dog – sounds pretty classic right? But in Frankenweenie the young boy Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.

While you’re waiting for the film to hit the theaters check out the Frankenweenie Monstrous Sweepstakes! One grand prize winner will receive a 4 day/3 night vacation for four to the Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure Park to experience the world of Tim Burton and Frankenweenie during Halloween time! Five first prize winners will receive an autographed Frankenweenie movie poster.

You can enter here online or you can text EDGAR to Disney (347639) for a chance to win. Message and data rates may apply. If you’re under 18, get your parents permission first.

Before moving to Louisville, I hadn’t heard of Cost Plus World Market. But during a shopping trip our first or second weekend in town, we stumbled across it in a new shopping area next to the malls. They had tons of products from all over the world – including lots of art, which is what we were looking for during our first few visits. This might sound silly, but at that time I also purchased a silicone spatula with a wooden handle for like $3 and it is still my go-to spatula all these years later.

I had wanted to do a little decorating for Memorial Day, but as there were just going to be a handful of us spending the day together (we had our big party on Sunday), I didn’t want to go all-out. So I went online to search for some fun, yet low-key, Americana items that I could use for Memorial Day. I wanted things that I could also keep and build on for the Fourth of July, when we usually have a big family gathering. I saw a number of cute things on the Cost Plus World Market website, and since it’s nearly across the road from Babies ‘R Us (where I needed to go to get Bubbles a new swimsuit), I thought I would stop in and see what they had.
