Halloween Costumes from One Step Ahead

Deciding on what to be for Halloween can be a very daunting task for kids. There are so many costume options out there. Royalty, Superheroes, cartoon characters, mythical creatures and even the classics like clowns and fireman make appearances each year on our neighborhood. This year Shae’s decision was quick. She chose Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz from One Step Ahead.Halloween Costumes with One Step Ahead

The catalog arrived and while she’s outgrown most of the costumes and gear already she zeroed in on the one that would still work for her.

Dorothy and Toto (in a basket) arrived and the costume was instantly put on. In fact it was worn all weekend. Shae’s been trying to figure out how to get her hair in braids too.

Sol Republic Deck Giveaway

We tried to squeeze in all the summer possible over the last few weeks. A trip to the beach was on the agenda and we packed like we were gonna stay for days. Turns out the weather was pretty perfect and we sat in that sand for hours and hours while the kids played and swam. We were prepared with good food, great company and excellent sounds from the Sol Republic Deck.

When we got to the beach  (a little later than wanted) we found it a bit overcrowded. Seemed like everyone else had the same idea.

We settled in right next to the lifeguards with a big space for a long soak in the sun. Adding music to the squawking of the seagulls and crash of the waves was a great combination.Sol Republic Deck on Beach

This was the first time we hooked up the Sol Republic Deck. We didn’t test it at home and there really was no need to. The connection was clear, the music was loud and the battery hasn’t failed us yet.

The Deck is truly portable, wireless speaker that allows you to roam up to 300 feet away giving you room to mingle, eat and replenish the chips for a party.  The coolest feature would be the ability to connect to up to 5 devices at one time, called Heist Mode. This gives your friends and family the chance to take control the music from their own phones or tablets.


This would be the perfect gift for the dorm room, bedroom, garage workshop or outdoor party on the deck. The 360° sound has much better quality than anything coming from a smartphone or tablet.  Included with the Deck is this snug carry case to protect against sand, water, scratches and more.Sol republic Deck carry bag

Give the gift of music to someone special in your life. Or enter to win the gift of music here at LookWhatMomFound.com.  Let us know who would love the Sol Republic Deck.Sol Republic Deck Giveaway

Big Step into Middle School #fightforyourwrite [plus giveaway]

Middle School is a big step. No more walking the halls with the kindergarteners or hearing his little sister yell his name across the cafeteria. Shaun is no longer a little boy. He’s growing into a young man. In fact he’s already taller than me at age 11. Yep, he’s 11.
This school year is gonna be so different. He gets to stay after for sports and extra-curriculars. Hopefully he gets into guitar. Hopefully he realizes the huge changes that are about to happen to his life. These are very formative years. These are the years that set you up for high school. These are the years that unfortunately box you into a clique. I hope he sees the greatness in everyone not just one group of kids.

School shopping this year was easy. No more crayons. No more scissors. No more glue sticks. This year he needed a scientific calculator and graph paper. Big steps for a big grade.Back to School, Fight For Your Write BIC

builds self confidence
better school performance
helps reading skills
sparks creativity
sharpens critical thinking skills

Sign the petition to encourage writing in school. BIC has already committed to donating 50,000 writing instruments to AdoptAClassroom.com but they are extending their partnership till 12/31/14 in hopes of reaching a donation amount of 100,000 writing instruments. Each signature equals one more pen or pencil.

Acme Markets #MyMixx for More Savings [plus giveaway]

If you’re anything like most people these days you want your errands and tasks to be easier. For me this means being about to do lots of things while on the go. I know my dry cleaning can’t be done over my phone but if I can find a “green” dry cleaner with my fingertips then I’m on the right track. Acme is now helping me save on my grocery shopping with the introduction of MyMixx.Acme Markets MyMixx

MyMixx is a new way to save even more on the groceries I shop for anyway. Using the Acme app on my phone I can “clip coupons” and add them right to my shopping list which I also update on my phone. An since I’m shopping Acme that means NO loyalty card needed. Your MyMixx account is attached to your phone number used when signing up.Acme Markets MyMixx

Clip coupons to stock up on items on sale or buy just what you need. I’m not one to shop for 20 of 1 item because it’s on sale. I just don’t have the room. But I will snag up a useful item if the price if right AND I have a coupon.

I did last week’s grocery shopping with a focus on back to school snacks. I know school is starting soon and I need to get ready. Our shopping cart was full of our regular shopping needs plus Lance Sandwich Crackers, Jif To Go Peanut Butter, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish in every flavor, Dole Fruit Cups and maybe an Entenmann’s Danish (or two).Acme Markets MyMixx

The snacks are stashed in a box in the garage waiting for the 1st day of school. I’ll do some more shopping, adding to the snack and lunch stash but it’s a start and I saved money and time.

Check out Acme’s MyMixx for yourself and see how easy it can be to organize your life and save a few bucks while you’re at it! And to help you along a LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader is going to win a $100 Acme Gift Card.

Download the Acme Markets app to your iPhone or Android device. Then create a shopping list, “clip” a coupon, connect with Acme on their social media channels or find a new recipe to try at home. Come back and tell me what you liked about MyMixx from Acme Markets.
