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.

Fannie May Berries Recap

November 16, 2012 by Melissa

Back on October 19th I was attending a two day event in Chicago and was also invited to attend a Fannie May Chocolate event hosted by Marc Summers. Due to the travel and lack of food (a grumbling belly) I wasn’t feeling so well and wasn’t able to make the event but a few blogger friends of mine did attend. I was told that not only did I miss a great event but that I also missed out on a ton of delicious chocolate dipped strawberries and needless to say I was totally bummed.

Thankfully a couple weeks after the event Melinda received an email in regards to doing a recapitulation of the Fannie May Favorites Chocolate Dipped Strawberries and some part of me felt great joy. I love chocolate covered strawberries so I was very excited when they arrived at our house.

Here is what the 12 strawberries came covered in:

(4) Pixie® Berries: dipped in a divine mix of caramel infused real milk chocolate and covered with crunchy pecans
(4) Trinidad® Berries: dipped in deliciously creamy, real milk chocolate and covered with golden toasted coconut
(4) Mint Meltaway Berries: dipped in luxuriously creamy, mint-infused real white and milk chocolate

I am sitting here trying to figure out which one of the above flavors was my favorite but to be honest all three were my favorite. I realized why should I limit myself to just one favorite. Here is evidence that they were goooooooood.

Fannie May Berries can be ordered and in the customers’ home within 24 hours and includes large, luscious berries that are hand dipped in 100% rich, smooth, Fannie May chocolate. This is such a plus for me because I typically order family members treats as well as food and typically at the last minute so knowing they will get their order within 24 hours makes my life so much easier.

Another cool thing is that Fannie May Berries includes hand crafted indulgent flavor combinations including Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Caramel, Pink & White Champagne, Toasted Coconut & White Chocolate (Trinidad©), Milk Chocolate Caramel & Nuts (Pixies©) and Holiday flavors—Dark Chocolate Gingerbread, Candy Cane and Eggnog. With all of these flavor combinations you are bound to find something for someone either for the holidays, birthdays or just because.

Just in case you aren’t familiar with Fannie May Chocolates:

For nearly a century, Fannie May Chocolates has been bringing you the finest gourmet chocolates, fudge, and candies that have kept them as your favorite traditional chocolate store. Since the first Fannie May chocolate store opened in 1920 Chicago, they have been developing decadent chocolates, using only the premium of ingredients. They also stand behind our 100% satisfaction guarantee to ensure that the most delicious and high quality of gourmet milk chocolate, gourmet dark chocolate, and gourmet fudge gifts are being sold.

So needless to say this holiday season there will be a lot of family on our holiday list that will be receiving Fannie May Berries.

Do you have someone you would like to send some Fannie May Berries to? If so you are in luck because 1 lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader will have the opportunity to win the Fannie May Favorites Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. All I need you to do is head over to Fannie May and pick another treat that you would love for this holiday season.
