Who isn’t a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series? I know I am! I can watch Johnny Depp all day long. I love how they made Keith Richards his dad too! Well, in case you haven’t heard, there is another Pirates of the Caribbean movie! It’s called Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and it about Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finding himself on an unexpected journey to the fabled Fountain of Youth when a woman from his past forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). (It’s always about a woman with him, isn’t it?!?). I know my family, and I can’t wait to see it! This movie is so popular that Kermit the Frog is even covering it:

I rarely get heartburn myself — only when pregnant or if I eat cocktail sauce. However, ever since Bill had food poisoning, he gets it quite often. If you can believe it, he even gets heartburn from water (I still can’t figure that one out). One of the ways his doctors have controlled it is Prilosec.

Since this is product known and trusted in our home, I wanted to pass along a great deal and a great giveaway to you all!

For the great deal: Buy two 42-count Prilosec OTC products in a single transaction and get a $25 gift card!

And now for my great giveaway! I’ve arranged for one of my lucky readers to get a special Prilosec OTC gift pack with a $100 AMEX giftcard! Here’s what you need to do:

Shhhh . . . . I’ve got a great giveaway for my lucky readers. Seriously.

If you have kids and love Disney, well then . . . . . . you’ve got to watch this sneak peak:

From the preview alone, you can tell this is a must see movie! (Plus, I’ve seen it already. I can’t review it quite yet, but take my word for it). Here is a brief synopsis:

When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) is taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a feisty teen with 70 feet of golden hair who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, the unlikely duo sets off on a hilarious, hair-raising escapade filled with adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.

Now, you want to be styling when you go to see Tangled when it hits the theaters November 24th, so I have arranged one lucky reader to get:

1-Female Fit Rapunzel T-Shirt
1-General Fit Flynn Rider T-Shirt
1-General Fit Pascal T-Shirt
1-Package of Tangled Silly Bandz Bracelets

Yes — all of that. Here’s what it looks like:

Awesome. I know. So here’s what you need to do:

Luvs Giveaway

Lisa — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 01:37:13 +0000

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

This giveaway is now over. The winner is Jennifer. Congrats!

It’s only been a short time since Will was in diapers, so I know what it is like to try and find the best diapers on the market. However, I found that Luvs has been soliciting feedback from current users and due to demand Luvs will be replacing the backsheet currently found on their diaper products with an adorable, new monkey design – (a look that is preferred three-to-one by those surveyed)! The diaper packaging will also received an upgrade that will consist of new, updated photography and an added back package panel that will provide parents and caretakers with additional product information. While our look may be new, the diapers will still be comprised of the same trusted and safe materials used in all previous versions of the product – and will still have the same performance, quality and value parents have come to expect from the Luvs brand.

The new Luvs packs won’t be in stores until later this fall, I have arranged for one lucky reader of mine to receive a sample pack (before they even hit shelves!!). They currently only have them in size 4 to offer right now. Here’s what you need to do:

Tell me one thing you look for in a diaper.

Each of these gives you one additional entry:

1. Twitter about this contest. I’ve made it super easy by adding a tweet button up by the title of this post! You can do this daily — just leave me a comment letting me know.
