Flit Shopping iPad App and $100 Visa GC

December 6, 2012 by Melissa

I’m in the thick of it this month. Holiday Shopping that is. Shopping for Shaun and Shae is pretty easy but having a teenage daughter can sometimes be difficult. She’s established her own style and that makes shopping for her very difficult. I showed her a new app and now I can shop with confidence because she can put together a whole collections of favorites and I can choose among them.

Flit Shopping lets shoppers browse hundreds and hundreds of your favorite stores from one iPad app.

While browsing the user can “cute” an item which saves it for purchase later or to compare it with other similar items.

Side by Side comparison is also a really great feature. I can put 2 brown riding boots next to each other and decide which one I want to purchase based on price, materials, heel height or any other feature the retailer shares. if I can’t make up my mind I can share my “CUTES” with friends and family to get help on a decision.

Online Shopping is easy but it can be easier with you don’t have to click from window to window to get just the right item. Flit Shopping is the new way to online shop.

Flit wants to help with your online shopping by offering a $100 Visa GC giveaway for LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers. Simply Like Flit’s Facebook Page to enter.

One Step Ahead Toys and Games for all plus Giveaway

December 5, 2012 by Melissa

If you know me you know how much I love imagination play. My children are evidence to that with their dress up clothes, play kitchens, dolls and arts and crafts.

One Step Ahead is a trusted source for all of your childs play, safety and organization needs. I’ve been a customer of One Step Ahead and Leaps and Bounds since Sabreena was a baby. They were there when I needed child proofing solutions for a kitchen, when I wanted personalized toys and they are there when it’s time to shop for toys and baby gear for babies to be.

Here is my very own Imagination Play and Toy Gift Guide for kids of all ages.

Dyson Ball Vacuum for Kids
Kids can twist and turn it for almost-real role play and “empty” the pullout bin. It even sounds real, but quieter. With release pedal and spinning cyclone beads.

This Step 2® art desk is incredibly sturdy, loaded with storage space, and big enough for two! It has a very roomy work area and holds tons of art supplies, thanks to dual side trays, a wooden overhead shelf, and double book racks built into the base.

Smooth Touch Tablet
This slick learning pad looks like your expensive tablet, except it’s built for curious little fingers! It features 27 touch-sensitive icons that invite kids to explore letters, numbers, colors, shapes, animals, music, and more.

Responsibility Reward Chart
Beautifully embroidered, with stick-on gold stars, chores, and reward tags. 18″ x 24″, with organizer pouch, pockets, and 78 hook and loop pieces (including create-your-own blanks).

Activity Area Rugs
These gorgeous kids’ carpets are for you! They’re durable, decorative, and a great deal! Each rug measures 39″L x 58″W and has a non-skid backing. In charming themes to match popular kids’ room décor.

Kid Nap Mat
Our generously-stuffed nap mat is larger than most, with attached fleece blanket and removable pillow. Rolls up compactly; stay-put hook ‘n loop closure and carry strap included.

Kid’s Microphone
Does your little pop star dream of making music videos? She can! This clever microphone connects to TVs and DVD recorders, producing thrilling live performances and taped videos. Connects directly to iPods, MP3s, or CD players for great background sound. Includes disco lights and applause.

Here is another recommendation for imagination play and hours of entertainment.
Bosch Junior Toy Workbench and Toy Toolbox and Toolset
This sturdy, toy workbench looks like Dad’s, but it’s packed with hands-on activities for small fry. Pair it with the toolbox with toy hammer, saw, screwdriver, wrench…even a whirring toy power drill. Come on, Dad, let’s fix something!

Enter to win the Workbench and Toolbox here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! by letting me know what other products you love from Leaps and Bounds or One Step Ahead.

Safeway Has Your Baking Needs Covered – Giveaway

December 4, 2012 by Melissa

One of my favorite things about the holidays other than seeing my kids open gifts on Christmas morning are baked goods. Nothing beats homemade cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc and they seem extra plentiful around this time of year.

If you have a Safeway near you like we do make sure you visit them this holiday season because they are your one stop destination for all of your baking needs. They have red velvet cupcake mix, decorating sets, sprinkles, decorating bags and tips, no bleed baking cups, fondant shapes, sparkle gel decorators, frosting starters, and much more available in-store, along with the Safeway Chef Assistant app and Pinterest page to help online, Safeway is here to inspire you to bake up sweet memories with your family and friends.

We received a gift basket last week filled with a ton of awesome goodness like cupcake mixes, icing, fondant and decorating kit. Needless to say once the kids spotted the basket they harassed us non-stop the entire week to make every single thing in the basket. Sunday morning we finally got out all of the items we were planning on using and got to work. The kids made the cupcakes first then we needed to wait about an hour or two for them to cool before we could decorate them which you think was weeks long since the kids asked every ten minutes if the cupcakes were cooled. Once the cupcakes were cooled is when the real fun began. The kids piped on the icing with the cake decorating tips and pastry bags then moved on to rolling out and using the red, green and blue fondant. For me the best part of this little baking session was spending time together as a family and watching the kids have a great time decorating their cupcakes. We probably spent a total of two to three hours working on the cups cakes which like I said was a lot of fun. Are their cupcakes going to win an award for the pretties or best decorated, nope but I will say we had a really awesome time relaxing and having a great time as a family. For me baking is a time not only to make some really sweet treats for the family to enjoy it’s also a great time to bond and get closer as a family.

Want a chance to spend some quality time baking with your family? If so you are in luck because one Look What Mom Found…and Dad too winner will have a chance to win a gift basket of your own filled with some awesome goodies. All I need you to do it tell me what holiday treat you and your family like to make around the holidays.

PoCampo Handbags #giveaway

November 27, 2012 by Melissa

Handbags are a necessity for me. I like to have certain things with me if I’m going somewhere besides the grocery story or convenience store. Some days I need something big with lots of pockets and organization but other days something small and functional does the trick.

Po Campo has a wide array of functional and stylish bags or every “type” of woman.

DiaperBag for the mom on the go with the Armitage Satchel. It blends beauty and functionality with urban style, protected leather detailing and the versatility to work with the other things she has with her to help lighten the load.

Working Bag for the working women with The Loop Pannier. It is perfectly sized for all your professional needs with an innovative protected leather attachment system that doesn’t poke or catch on your tweeds.

Little Bag for the very active women who needs very little with Spare Pocket that cinches are your arm, ankle or belt loop in a snap.

Po Campo were created out of necessity by a team of women entrepreneurs. Surprise Surprise. When Maria Boustead and Emily Taylor couldn’t find a well-designed, clever and chic handbag for their unique personalities. Po Campo is now sold worldwide to all women of all types and styles. Their bicycle bag style gives them a unique look.
The bright, playful designs add effortless style to any bike and the proprietary CONNECT™ system allows cyclists to detach the bag and use it as a briefcase, grocery bag or purse on the go! Po Campo bicycle bags are truly versatile, with capabilities to hold a yoga mat and with enough space to hold ipads, work documents and whatever else the day or night requires.

My Po Campo bag is the Pilsen Bungee Handbag. It’s small enough for date night and shopping; those times when I only have to carry stuff for ME. The fabric is a smooth coated, wipeable poly. This means it’s going to withstand my rough abuse.

Enter to win the Fanfare Pilsen Bungee Handbag just like mine. Let me know what other Po Campo bag you would get really good use out of.

Holiday Storybooks Giveaway from Hallmark Cards

November 19, 2012 by Melissa

It’s really hard to believe that the Holidays are right around the corner. This means it’s the time of year for giving and sharing. This means gift giving, giving time to help others and sharing memories new and old with friends and family.

Hallmark is at the center of sharing memories. Each year my family makes trips to the mall, fancy department stores, adorable little shops and more looking for just the right ornaments for each child. We often end up at Hallmark because they have a unique collection of Keepsake Ornaments for all occasions and recipients. This was Shaun’s big year for football, I’m sure something like this will end up on his tree.

Shae is the Disney Princess fanatic so I’m sure we can find something perfect for her too. Sabreena has collected lots of fun things over the years and this year will be no different. The making memories doesn’t stop with Keepsake Ornaments either. Books are a great gift too especially when they are personalized with a loved one’s voice.

I have A Charlie Brown Christmas Recordable Storybook and keep meaning to take it to my dad’s house so he can record his voice and Shae can hear the story read by him whenever she wants. I think this would be a sweet surprise for anyone whether your loved ones are near or far.

Hallmark is more than just cards. Walking into your neighborhood store will show you that in just minutes. Figurines, stuffed plush, stationery, home decor and more fill the shelves with just about something for everyone. Holiday Cards are big business this time of year. I know I’m already stressing about what the kids are going to wear, where we are getting the pictures done and how much time I have left to get them done and uploaded onto a card to get them into my friend’s and family’s hands in time.

To help ease a little bit of holiday stress I’m offering 30% percent off your personalized greetings order at Hallmark.com! Spread holiday cheer with customized greetings and photo cards, and use the code BLOG30 at checkout. The offer is valid through the first of next year, so you’ll have plenty of time to tackle your holiday card list!

Another treat for LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are these 2 books available as a giveaway.

All Aboard Be A Part of the Story Storybook $24.95Little ones will love a new kind of story where the main character chimes in with questions or choices as you read aloud. It’s almost like having a real conversation with the story’s star!

A Charlie Brown Christmas Recordable Storybook $19.95Little Peanuts® fans will love this Recordable Storybook about the true meaning of Christmas. Read it together as a family, or record it for a little one who is miles away so you can still share a Christmas story.

Enter just by sharing a holiday memory, a favorite ornament or tradition.
