#UnclogYourDay by Keeping Tools Close at Hand

#UnclogYourDay $1000 Giveaway

Being a father to a teenage daughter, eight-year-old-boy and three-year-old little girl, you can bet I always need to have tools close by to fix whatever they decide to break that day.

I have two huge tool boxes in the garage filled with wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, Allen wrenches and other random things. I have no idea what some of the tools are even for but don’t want to toss just in case I need them to fix something around the house. In addition to the surplus in the garage, I have screwdrivers strategically placed in drawers around the house along with flash lights and Allen wrenches because you never know when duty calls and I need to make a quick repair before bed or during dinner.

One tool that is essential with three ladies in the house is the Drano® Snake Plus. You can only imagine the amount of hair that goes down the drain on a daily basis. Since Sabreena has heavy, thick, long hair, Drano® is the only solution to my often clogged drain problem.

Having tools and keeping them handy is essential in running a smooth household and doing it quickly. It isn’t cleaning, cooking or putting the kids to bed but my duties as handy-man are necessary to keeping this house safe and in working order.

Ultimate “Unclog Your Day” Drano® Snake Plus Giveaway

Back to School with Lunchopolis Giveaway

The kids go back to school soon and with that comes better meal planning for lunch time. Lunchopolis lunchbox by Enviro Products sent us 2 systems to review to ensure they take along healthy food choices in a safe and convenient way.

I prefer fruit and veggies for snacks but often toss in yogurt, pudding, granola bars, cheese and crackers as additional options and treats for the kids. This systems give me container sizes that are perfect for lots of choices or the option to not use the containers for the times things are prepackaged. My only upgrade idea would be to fit in a small cup for dip, dressing or peanut butter. My kids like apples and peanut butter but there isn’t an easy way to transport it.

This system is perfect for adults too. The sandwich box is perfect for leftovers or a salad and the smaller containers keep healthy non-vending machine options right at your fingertips. Shop for Lunchopolis insultated lunchbox systems at New Wave Enviro. Keep the planet clean and green with less waste and trash.

WIN your own Lunchopolis lunchbox by Enviro Products by telling me a healthy lunch option for kids.

Krazy Glue “My Krazy Life” Contest + Giveaway

If your kids are like mine they tend to be rough with toys and their toy box looks like a grave yard of broken dolls, army men and other items. Just recently Shae broke the handle of her toy kitchen mixer which I needed to fix. Thankfully we keep Krazy Glue on hand.

I can remember as a kid my father always having Krazy Glue around the house and I tend to be the same way. Krazy Glue has come a long way and now they have glue for every situation like all purpose, craft formula, wood and leather and even skin guard. I really like the skin guard formula because I tend to always get glue on my fingers and have on occasion glued my fingers together, LOL.

Krazy Glue, the leading innovator of instant adhesives, knows a thing or two about krazy. Krazy Glue has re-launching its Facebook page and is kicking off the “My Krazy Life” contest, where fans can enter their Krazy Life story for a chance to win one of several fun weekly prizes.

#UnclogYourDay with Meal Planning Made Easy

UnClog Ur Day $1000 Contest courtesy of Drano

What’s for Dinner? I hate this question. What I hate even more is when I have to say, “I don’t know.” There is nothing more stressful than scrambling at 4 p.m. with no defrosted meat, no prepped veggies and a clock ticking down. For years I’ve made great strides in doing a meal plan and grocery list to match so we have very few last second runs during the week.
There have been many methods that I’ve tried:

  • Meals on index cards
  • Random searches online
  • Spreadsheets
  • Stack of cookbooks with recipes flagged

meal planning session

What works best for me is a simple piece of paper with each day of the week listed and the meal that is planned. If I’m extra motivated I will use a calendar and plan 2-4 weeks at a time. We tend to eat the same meals: tacos, pasta, grilled chicken and pizza but each week I like to add in a new or revised recipe. Last week’s “new recipe” was Chicken Marsala. We made the investment into some quality wines, added mushrooms to the grocery list and enjoyed something new. Adding a new meal expands the kids’ taste buds and gets us out of dinner ruts.

Along with the meal plan we always have old standbys for those nights when things just don’t go as planned. Sometimes it’s ordering from our favorite pizza place, sometimes it’s pulling frozen meatballs from the freezer to whip up a quick batch of spaghetti. The meal plan is a guideline to keep us organized during our busy days.

Playground Fun with #SparkParks and Sprite Giveaway

Growing up I spent the entire summer at our local playground and swimming pool. Wake up, eat, run out and don’t come home till dark; that was my daily schedule. These days some kids don’t have the opportunity to play at a park let alone swim in a community pool. This year, Sprite will invest $2 million to construct, refurbish and creatively refresh more than 150 neighborhood parks, athletic fields, school playgrounds and basketball courts. Ultimately, the goal is to give young people a chance to be physically active, inspire their imagination and create clean, safe and creative places to play for years to come.

We are lucky to live in a safe, low traffic neighborhood so that the kids can go outside ride bikes, play with chalk, play tag and run in the field. To aid in the crazy fun my kids have Sprite has provided us a really cool prize pack.

  • $25 AMEX GC
  • Sprite Coupon
  • Sprite Spark Park Pen
  • Sprite Spark Parks Backpack
  • Medibuddy First Aid Kit
  • Hand Sanitizer Wipes
  • Green Jumprope
  • Sizzlin’ Cool Sling Racket or Baseball Glove set
  • Crayola 3-D Chalk Set
  • Everything Kids Travel Activity Book
  • Tootle Turtle Bubble Set

sprite playground prize pack

The kids instantly took the 3-D Chalk outside and covered my driveway and themselves in every color under the sun. The Melissa and Doug Toot Turtle Bubble Set was a hit too; the bubbles were often bigger than their heads.

The program to refurbish all of these neighborhood locations is up to you. Submit your school at My Coke Rewards for Schools Program and enter the points codes found on all Sprite and Sprite Zero products. Not yet a My Coke Rewards member? Sign up is free and easy at www.mycokerewards.com.

Baby Gear for Growing Baby Giveaway

Mamas and Papas is Great Britain’s #1 Baby Brand. A couple months ago I had the pleasure of reviewing the luxury European Sola Stroller and now I’m sharing with you the Morph baby carrier and the Snug baby seats.

Our friends just recently had twins, 1 boy and 1 girl. While it’ll be some time before they can start using the Baby Snug seats I know they are going to get tons of use. The seats are ergonomically designed to comfortably hold baby in a safe position for eating, playing or just hanging out with mom or dad. There is a removable tray and everything is easy to clean. No hidden slots are compartments to store food or other sticky substances. The large crotch bar keeps baby from sliding out.

never sit your baby on the stove

stage 2 for babies from age 12months

The Morph baby carrier was created based on the needs of moms and dads. Now parents can literally share the baby wearing responsibility. Each Morph includes a parent harness, a baby pod and a dribble bib to protect parents from messes. The system allows the harness to be worn with or without baby. When it’s time for the parent to carry baby the pod simply installs while keeping baby secure. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit not just for baby but for the parent. One hand adjustable straps and color coded systems make the process simple and painless.

LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! has a Dove Grey Morph to giveaway to a lucky reader. Simply let us know if you are already a baby wearer or not and what color Morph is your favorite.
