Revell SnapTite Model Kit Giveaway
April 17, 2013 by
Today’s society is so technology focused that a lot of kids would be happy just watching TV or playing video games all day. I know my kids would do that if we let them but we try to engage them in other activities like crafts, sports and games whenever possible.
Recently I was asked by model-building company Revell to spend some screen-free time with my son building a model. I thought this would be a great activity for Shaun and me to do together so we selected a Revell SnapTite 1970 Chevelle SS. I can remember when I was a kid going to the store and picking up a model, glue and paint and how much fun I would have just sitting in my room all weekend long and building my model until it was done. My father wasn’t around so I had to build my models alone but not Shaun because we built it together and had an awesome time. I can say this is the first time in a while where Shaun and I sat down together and both worked on the same project and I am glad we did. Parents need to spend more time with their children and model building is a great activity to do together. Shaun and I plan to do again very soon.
I really like the Revell SnapTite Model Kits because I can remember when I was a kid and having to use model glue to hold everything together, which was a total mess. The SnapTite Kits go together really easy (they don’t require any paint or glue) which allowed Shaun to build 95% of the model himself with just a little direction from me. The instructions were well laid out and the pieces were easy to find and it all snapped together perfectly. The sticker decals were pretty easy to apply and Shaun did it by himself after I showed him once. All in all the whole process from start to finish took about 1 hr to 1.5 hrs and like I mentioned was really easy and fun to do.
Helping Shaun build this model took me back to a place in my childhood that I really enjoyed and I was glad that I got the opportunity to share this experience with my son.
Revell model kits are available at local hoppy shops, Hobby Lobby and Michaels stores, as well as Walmart. Revell offers all sorts of kits, like classic cars, trucks, and planes.
Looking to spend some quality time with your kids?
Two lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too readers will have the chance to win a Revell SnapTite Model Kit of their choice and a $50 Hobby Lobby Gift Card. All I need you to do is head over to Revell and tell me which SnapTite Model Kit is your favorite.

Hooligan Bear Book Series for Kids plus Giveaway
April 9, 2013 by
Shae has recently started to show a love of reading. She reads labels, food boxes, homework papers and of course her books. She has a few favorites, some of which I’m tired of reading. Hooligan Bear is a new favorite, specifically New Friends.
Hooligan Bear and his nephew Little Louie live on a shelf in an abandoned warehouse, just the two of them. Their lives change when a box is found on the street down below and out come 3 New Friends. They instantly become best friends and live in the warehouse together.
Author Ian Toynton isn’t new to the creative process. His career is spotted with producing and directing gigs on Bones, Providence, The O.C. and many more television shows since the 80’s. Writing Hooligan Bear came about from his love of animation.
Shae and I thought the story was really sweet and endearing. These group of bears bonded over the fact that they all had been left behind. The then built a life for themselves in the old factory and take care of each other since they are now each other’s family. Shae was able to easily read the story and follow along the vibrant illustrations. Little Louie is our favorite bear.
There are currently 3 books available, Hooligan Bear: Home, Hooligan Bear: New Friends and Hooligan Bear: A Special Day.
The stories don’t end on the last page though. Hooligan Bear and the rest of the gang continue their adventures on Twitter and Storify. Choose your story.
LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are getting the chance to win all 3 Hooligan Bear books. Visit Hooligan Bear and tell me who is your favorite bear.

Reeses + NCAA = Best Thing Ever
April 8, 2013 by
Talking about the NCAA as well as Reese’s couldn’t come at a more appropriate time with tonight’s National Championship game between Louisville and Michigan. No matter who you are rooting for you can be sure it will be an awesome game and if you have Reese’s products you may not ever care who wins the game, LOL. Ok maybe that’s a stretch.
Along with Reese’s being the official partner of the NCAA they have launched LetsGoReeses which is the ultimate resource for college fans. The site offers so much information from recipes to a video series chronicling the traditions of Kentucky, Florida and Duke to awesome merchandise. This Hub was designed to celebrate college basketball fans everywhere regardless of who you cheer for.
I spent a good amount of time on the website and I like the videos that they offer as well as the merchandise and the recipes are to die for. Where else can you go for basketball and Peanut Butter Cup Sandwich Cookies all in the same place, LetsGoReeses is where. If I had to guess though I would say that I spent most of my time in the recipe section of the website looking at cookies, cakes, cheesecakes and frosting. Not like I need to eat any of that stuff but I am sure I will have Sabreena whip something up for us to all enjoy very very soon.
So if you are a fan of basketball and Reese’s you need to head over to LetsGoReeses.
Now it’s time to give away an awesome NCAA prize pack. One lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too reader will have the chance to win a regulation NCAA Wilson Basketball, $50 online gift card to ShopNCAA.com and lots of Reese’s candy.
All you have to do is tell me what your favorite Reese’s candy is.

Spring Collection @UMIShoes #Giveaway
March 18, 2013 by
I’ve been doing tons of clothes shopping (and reviewing) for Shae for the Spring weather that is peeking around the corner. Next up is SHOES. UMI is our old faithful. Each season she receives a new pair to review and each season she wears them till they don’t fit or they’re worn out.
This season’s shoes at UMI are bright and fun and perfect for days at the playground or in your own backyard. They remind me of sherbet, a big trend in kids clothing this season.
I’ve said numerous times how much I love not just the colors and designs of UMI Shoes but the construction. Each shoe is made specifically to comfort and grow with your child’s foot. UMI uses quality child safe materials and techniques to ensure only the safest of shoes leave their hands and end up in your home.
Each month check out their Deal of the Month for 40% off a specific shoe and always get free shipping and returns (expect clearance items) .
Enter to win a $60 UMI Shoes GC just by telling me what shoe you’d love to win for a kid in your life.
