Hot Holiday Toys: LeapFrog Tag Solar System & #Giveaway! (Winner Announced)

GIVEAWAY WINNER – Congrats to Autumn who won our LeapFrog giveaway of the Solar System Adventure Pack. Thanks to all who entered!

—————————————————————————————

Back again with another hot new holiday toy (and a giveaway!) from LeapFrog. I’ve already written about my love of LeapFrog’s Tag Reading System here and here, and one of the great things about the system is that they keep expanding and adding new products like this – the Tag Solar System Adventure Pack.

Available as a bundle with a Tag pen ($53.98, but on sale for $49.99) or on its own ($13.99), the Solar System Adventure Pack extends your child’s learning to the stars! Literally! Much like the Tag World Map and United States Map, the dual-sided, interactive Solar System Map offers over 40 different out-of-the-world learning activities on the planets, sun, orbits, moon phases, seasons, asteroids and more! It contains the “basics” but also goes beyond to talk about things like the deposed Pluto and other dwarf planets plus a section called “How Do We Know” that tackles questions like life on other planets, and how we know how far away stars are.

In addition to the map itself, the Solar System Adventure Pack also comes with a “Passport to the Stars” sticker book that helps reinforce the learning and is just plain fun for sticker-loving kids. Plus, the stickers interact with the Tag pen!

Some of my favorite features:

- Size: While we own the World and USA Maps as well, the Solar System map folds down to the same size as a traditional Tag book which means it’s easier to bring along and to store with our other Tag books.

- Multiple levels: LeapFrog does such a good job at creating toys that offer multiple levels of play. The Solar System Map offer two levels of content so both my older boys can use it and be challenged.

- Information variety: The entire Tag series does a great job of packing in the information. From facts and data to games and activities, the Solar System map teaches and reinforces the learning through a variety of methods.

GIVEAWAY! LeapFrog is giving away a Solar System Adventure Pack that comes with their latest Tag Reader! To enter, leave a comment below telling us why this would be a hit with your kids. You can earn additional entries by doing any of the following – be sure leave us separate comments to tell us you did! 1) Like LeapFrog or Mommies With Style on Facebook, 2) Follow LeapFrog or MWS on Twitter, 3) Follow me on Twitter! Entries must be received by Saturday, November 26th 11:59pm, PST. One winner will be picked via random.org and notified via email. Sorry, no P.O. boxes. US residents only.

What can I say about this one?  I’m a huge fan of Lands’ End.  I tend to frequent their site more this time of year, and for good reason:  Lands’ End is an expert in warm weather gear.  They also of course have so much more including clothes, school uniforms and pajamas.  In fact, last year, I got the cutest pair of matching holiday PJs for my boys!

Fan Lands’ End on Facebook if you haven’t already – they have great friends & family coupons and sales you can be privy to if you are a fan!

Now one lucky Mommies with Style reader will win a $100 gift card to Lands’ End!

Sure Fit Slip Covers: Making Your Old Couch New Again!(Giveaway!)

When I moved into our current home I brought with me couches that were purchased after I graduated college. I didn’t want to buy new couches for this home because I believed we would soon move, and therefore decided the couches would work for a bit. Fast forward 4 years and the couches were looking extremely worn, and tired. We still didn’t want to buy a new couch, but weren’t sure what to do with our stained old couches. That’s when I found Sure Fit Slip Covers , and made my old couches new again!

In today’s economy it’s not always realistic to be able to get new couches whenever yours get a little worn.  Sure Fit offers slip covers for all your furniture pieces. From sofas, to love seats to recliners, Sure Fit can make any furniture construction type look brand new again. On top of the different fits, they also have a ton of different fabrics and colors to choose from. This means that you will definitely be able to find something to fit your room.

The idea of a slip cover scared me. The biggest question I had was whether or not they would fit my couches. Would they look funny? But when I started to put them on my fears were put to rest. The cover easily stretched over my couch and love seat, and was easily tucked in all the right places to make it look like a new couch. I was amazed at how easy it really was! To see for yourself check out one of Sure Fit’s Demos!

See the difference? It looks like I have a new couch! Gone are the spit up stains, and now we have a cover that can easily be cleaned if we should in fact get more spit up stains (which is inevitable!). Sure fit Slip Covers is a great option when a new couch isn’t an option. But why should you suffer with your old couch? Now, you don’t have to!

KidCo Anti Tip Straps: Anchor For Safety (Giveaway!)

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has been putting more warnings out there about the dangers of furniture and TV’s tipping, and harming your child. With TV’s now being so slim and light, and furniture being a little less sturdy, you’d be amazed at how easy it is for your child to pull them down on top of themselves. If your child is now walking and/or pulling themselves up than you need to do anything in your power to protect them from the dangers in your home. And what better company to trust with making your furniture and TV’s secure than KidCo?

As posted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission

A new data report (pdf) shows that between 2000 and 2010, CPSC staff received reports of 245 tip-over-related deaths involving children 8 years old and younger. More than 90 percent of the incidents involved children 5 years old and younger. In more than half of the 245 fatalities (56%), the child was crushed by the weight of the television, furniture, or appliance. The majority of these children suffered fatal injuries to the head (67%).

In addition, more than 22,000 children 8 years old and younger are treated in hospital emergency rooms every year (2008-2010) for injuries related to instability or tipover of televisions, furniture, and appliances. And like the fatalities, a majority of these injuries (56%) are to the head.

Those numbers are just scary! To help protect our children, KidCo offers all your baby proofing needs. Two great product that they offer is the anti tip furniture strap, and anti tip TV strap. These straps connect to the wall and prevent your unsturdy furniture from tipping onto your child. As the statistics suggest, this is a HUGE problem in households today, and doing whatever we can to protect our curious children is definitely worth it.

To promote child safety, KidCo is offering TWO that’s right TWO Mommies With Style readers a TV strap, AND a Furniture strap! The giveaway will run until Friday October 14th, and two winners will be chosen.

To enter, go to the KidCo website and leave a comment telling what baby proofing product you use the most.

Halloween Giveaway: Win a $100 Gift Card to HalloweenExpress.com

It’s that time of year again!  Time to shop for Halloween costumes.  (Unless you’re the crafty make it yourself type, which I know I’m not.)  Costumes can get expensive so I have a great giveaway for one lucky winner.

PromotionalCodes.com is sponsoring a giveaway for us – one lucky Mommies with Style winner can enter to win a $100 gift card to HalloweenExpress.com.  That should be enough to cover a couple of kids Halloween costumes!  Woo!

Budget-Friendly Tips for cutting halloween costume costs

We’ll spend a frightful amount of money on Halloween this year: $6.86 billion. From costumes to colorful cosmetics, candy, decorations and more, costs quickly add up when prepping for the big night. This year, don’t get tricked out of funds and treat yourself to monster savings. Get creative and take advantage of limited time online offers for the best savings!

Here are a few tips to keep savings on your side:

1.      Browse your closet for costume creations. Old clothes and even curtains and sheets can be transformed into festive attire. Unworn shirts can be cut up for a sash or vest, a bridesmaids dress makes a great princess or harem girl costume and an oversized orange sweatshirt is the perfect pumpkin for your child. Also browse the internet for DYI ideas—the key is creativity.

2.      Search thrift stores for inexpensive costumes and accessories. Buying old clothes saves money and also helps green-up the environment. Don’t forget to look for used costumes on the Internet at Craigslist or eBay.

3.      Use online coupons for costume savings. Sites like PromotionalCodes.com and CouponWinner.com offer hundreds of money-saving coupons for costumes, decorations, accessories, candy and more. These sites have special Halloween categories that are currently featuring promotional codes for 15, 30, and 40 percent off Halloween costumes and accessories, including special discounts from Halloween Express.

4.      Organize a costume swap. Get your friends together and trade children and adult costumes. Or you could do this within your neighborhood or office. Others will love your money-saving idea, plus you’ll probably get a free costume!

5.      Buy next year’s costume at extremely discounted prices after Halloween. Start saving for next year now and shop after the haunting celebration to score anywhere from 60 to 80 percent off costumes and accessories.

Giveaway & Book Review: The Digital Mom Handbook

This one’s near and dear to me:  my good blogging friends Colleen Padilla and Audrey McClelland are publishing a book!  The Digital Mom Handbook (Amazon, presale price $10.10) is available starting July 26th (which also happens to be my birthday and clearly a sign that it’s an awesome book everyone must purchase).

So often, my line of work comes up in everyday conversation.  People who aren’t in social media are so curious.  How do you make your money?  How did you get started?  What does it take to run a blog for business?  Some people ask out of curiousity but others want to know because they are considering doing it themselves.

The Digital Mom Handbook answers all of these questions.  Colleen and Audrey have managed to achieve what most women dream of: a successful career while they can still be home taking care of their children.

As I read the book over the weekend, I found myself nodding along to much of it.  I’ve been in this space for many years myself and I know these ladies well.  They are honest and forthright in their recommendations on how you can get started and how you can succeed in the space.

This is a fabulous book if you are even thinking about starting a blog.  They put you on the direct path to get started easily.  And if you’re already a seasoned blogger?   It’s still a worthwhile read!  Audrey and Colleen offer lots of quotes and success stories from other bloggers in the space and it was neat to read their stories!  And it’s always great to freshen up and get a different bloggers perspective on how they do things.

Preorder the Digital Mom Handbook on Amazon for $10.10. I’m honored to be quoted in the book so if you order it and read it, look for my quote!

Giveaway: In the meantime, I also have a giveaway of 3 copies of the book to 3 lucky Mommies with Style readers!  To enter, comment below by end of day July 25th.  The three winners will be selected and notified on the day the book releases, July 26th.
