Carmex Giveaway

Carmex is one of those products that I know we all use in the winter. I just remember the little yellow container. However, they have a great new line of products coming out.

Carmex Lime Twist and Vanilla click sticks are pretty awesome. These are great flavors (though I do like the lime better!). They also are SPF 15 and have all the moisturizing ingredients of the Carmex lip balm line. However, these premium lip balms have 3 additional moisturizers not found in the original line. It is one of those products that you won’t have to reapply every 15 minutes to keep your lips moist.

I really like these products. Carmex is just a brand for me that has always worked and worked well for my family. This lip balm line just makes me love them even more.

Since my family is such a fan of Carmex, I have arranged for one lucky reader to get their own Carmex Prize Pack. In it, you will find 1 Carmex Lime Twist click stick, 1 Carmex Vanilla click stick, and 1 picnic blanket! Here’s what you need to do:Read More »Carmex Giveaway

Dora's Ballet Adventures Giveaway!

Join Dora as she gets ready for her big dance show in this compilation DVD which features four of her dancing episodes. A quick synopsis of the episodes on Dora’s Ballet Adventures:

Dora’s Ballet Adventure
Dora’s dance class is getting ready for a special dance recital and her whole family’s there to watch her perform. They just need to wait for the Delivery Duck to deliver their ballet slippers. But the Delivery Duck brings scuba flippers instead of ballet slippers! Dora and Boots must get the slippers before the recital begins.

Dora, La Músico
C’mon and join the musical parade! Dora and Boots are leading a parranda over the Piano Bridge and through the Singing Gate to free the instruments that were locked up by the evil Señor Shhh!

The Super Silly Fiesta
Dora and Boots are invited to the Big Red Chicken’s Super Silly Fiesta where there will be silly snacks, silly games, silly hats and even silly dancing. But, the Big Red Chicken lost his party cake! Dora and Boots set off to save the fiesta. After searching forever, they find the cake in the silliest place Big Red Chicken could have left it – on his head!
Surprise
It’s Boots’ birthday! Dora tells him that all of his friends are waiting at her house to give Boots a big party. To reach Dora’s house, they’ll have to climb a long flight of Stairs and cross the Troll Bridge.

My kids have always loved Dora (and me too for that matter). That is why I have arranged for one lucky reader to win a copy of Dora’s Ballet Adventures. Here’s what you need to do:Read More »Dora's Ballet Adventures Giveaway!
