Bumps and Hurdles and the Way to Unclog Your Day – Giveaway

UnClog Ur Day $1000 Contest courtesy of Drano

For some families summer means vacations, relaxing by the pool, playing a bingo game and sleeping in. However, things are different at our house. We get up and go and yes we have vacations and pool time. We also have camp, day trips, gardening, festivals and more. This is the way we love to live our lives. However, sometimes things do not go smoothly. Life throws in some bumps and hurdles to slow you down.

We’ve all been there. It’s time to get out of the house and the kids are fighting, the phone is ringing and the dishwasher is leaking on the kitchen floor. Whether this is the exact scenario or you switch out the kids for the cats, all families struggle with road blocks at any given time. These moments don’t need to stop us in our tracks. Families need to learn to use the tools we have to get over the bumps and hurdles and keep our days and lives going.

This is where a tool like Drano® Snake Plus comes in. Drano® Snake Plus is a brand new, innovative product that resolves the toughest clogs the first time, guaranteed or it’s free!* Drano® Snake Plus combines a flexible, easy-to-use 18-inch tool with a powerful pro concentrate gel, the thickest and most powerful gel from Drano® that clings directly to the clog, quickly dissolving it. The advanced nature of the tool and gel combo will help families avoid wasting time and money on unplanned trips to the store and visits from the plumber.

Our family is excited to partner with SC Johnson and talk about how we unclog our days to keep our lives running as smoothly as possible. Every couple of weeks we’ll share a new method we use to stay on course, keep organized and remain sane. Feel free to use these tips, improve them or share your own.

HALO Bars Recap and Giveaway

Recently Melinda and I discovered that dairy reeks havoc on Shae’s body and have been on the lookout for snacks and snack bars that she can consume that won’t upset her stomach and luckily HALO bars came our way.

HALO Bars are dairy and vegan free and are certified organic. They are low in sugar, all natural and contain only 150 calories. All of these are things make me happy as a parent and allow me not to feel guilty when I give these to my kids as a snack. Not only are they a healthy snack but will hold them over until their next meal allowing them to consume less sugary snacks during the day. Anything that allows my kids to consume less sugar in a day is a great thing in my book.

Although there are lots of organic, nutritious ingredients in HALO bars, the primary sugar we use is organic brown rice syrup. In contrast to typical sugars like corn syrup, brown rice syrup has a low glycemic value and does not cause a sudden spike in blood sugar after consuming it. This is because the sugar profile in this syrup is 50% soluble carbohydrates, 45% maltose and 3% glucose. The glucose is immediately absorbed and metabolized, maltose takes from 1-1.5 hours, and soluble carbohydrates take 2-3 hours to be metabolized. This results in a constant supply of energy spread over a long time rather than a sudden rush. HALO bars have zero trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils.

HALO Bars come in four awesome flavors: Rocky Road, S’Mores, Honey Graham and Nutty Marshmallow. I have not tried these personally but Melinda and the kids have and they love them. The kids get a great tasting snack that they can enjoy with out all of the sugar, fat and bad stuff that your normal snack may contain. We typically will take the HALO Bars when we go to the pool and it holds the kids over until dinner.

I know I keep going on about the healthiness of the HALO Bar but if you are a parent you know exactly why I feel so strongly about this. Until I was asked to analyse  the HALO Bars I had no idea they existed but I am glad that I do now.

One lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader will have the chance to win their own box of HALO Bars. If you want to win a box of HALO Bars head over to Pro Bar and tell me what flavor you would love to try.

If you don’t win, PROBAR is glad to extend a one-time 40% discount for all of our readers. All you have to do is shop at Pro Bar and enter the code BLOGGER upon checkout.

WhoNu a cookie could be good for you plus giveaway

Is it snacktime yet? At least 8 times a day I hear this coming from one or more kids. My kids would eat all day long if I let them and NO, they wouldn’t always make the best choices. I hate always denying them a treat but know they need the nutrition and sustenance to get them going throughout the day.
whonu-cookies-healthy-vanilla-sandwichWhoNu cookies arrived one day and claimed to be loaded with 20 vitamins and minerals plus 3 grams of Fiber. Fine, a healthy cookie but would it taste good? The vanilla sandwich and chocolate chip cookies are gone. You might be saying kids will eat cookies even if they were covered in dirt, not my kids. They are picky. If it doesn’t taste good they aren’t going to waste the snack time on it. Rob even raved about the WhoNu Chocolate Chip cookies, and he’s the cookie freak. Me I like a salty bag of popcorn but he would dust off a pack of cookies in a heartbeat.whonu-healthy-chocolate-chip-cookie

There is no healthy cardboard food feel here. WhoNu cookies are just good cookies. We haven’t opened the other two flavors yet but I’m guessing we aren’t going to have any issues.

Get your own WhoNu cookies from retailers near you starting in July and get the complete run down of healthy details from the official website. Win a couple packs of WhoNu cookies and a $25 WalMart GC just by letting me know what flavor you would most like to try. TWO LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers will be winners of this tasty prize pack.

Monte Carlo Movie Giveaway

Romantic comedies or chick flicks, whatever you call them, I like them. I’m also a HUGE fan of Selena Gomez. Her character on Wizards of Waverly Place is comical but still sweet and endearing.

Grace (Selena Gomez) is an ordinary girl who becomes an accidental princess when a family summer trip to Paris turns into the fantasy of a lifetime. Living like royalty, Grace, along with her two best friends, discovers who she really is – by assuming another person’s identity.

The star line-up includes Leighton Meester, Andy McDowell and Catherine Tate. This summer is sure to embrace the beautiful and talented cast of Monte Carlo.
