BusyBodyBook Giveaway

This year I am trying to be more organized especially when it comes to my blog. In order to best use my time I am attempting to have a bit of a schedule and for that I need a calendar to keep it on. I am using the BusyBodyBook Weekly Grid Pad and I really love it. The Weekly Grid pad is undated which allows me to personalize it to meet my needs. Along the top of the pad there are 7 rows for you to fill in either with different peoples names or whatever you want, for me it is different types of posts. I really love that with 7 columns it can accommodate large families or you can meal plan along side your scheduled activities. Then down the side there are 7 rows for you to use each one to be filled in with a date. The pad also has a section for notes on the side, it is great for keeping your to do list for the week right on your calendar. This pad is magnetic so it sticks right to your fridge and when the week is over simply tear of that page and discard. This calendar is a 17 month calendar which I love becomes it means that much longer before I have to replace it! I am  really enjoying my  BusyBodyBooks Calendar and it is helping me to better manage my time! BusyBodyBook also offers FREE Home management printables, I have just printed these and can’t wait to set up a binder for home management.

I have a BusyBodyBook Weekly Grid Pad to giveaway to one lucky Thrifty & Chic Mom reader. To enter simply tell me in a comment what other BusyBodyBook product you love.

I drink Dr Pepper so much the Princess referred to Dr Pepper as mommy’s juice, she once told my sister in law she could not have any of mommy’s juice when she tried to have one. Even at 2 1/2 my daughter knew how much I love Dr.Pepper. So to say I am excited to be teaming up with Dr Pepper would be a gross understatement.

5 Second Rule Do You Follow It? (Giveaway)

Do you follow the 5 second rule? You know the one where you still eat food if it has been on the floor less than 5 seconds. I do at least at my house that is, but there are definitely some exceptions. For example we do not reuse spilled liquid that is just gross, nor do we eat food that sticks to the floor. There are a select group of food items that I quickly scoop up and hand right back to my kids. Let’s face it when they are simply devastated over a spilled bowl of pretzels we quickly scoop them up, refill the bowl and let them go back to snacking. Or if a sippy cup falls to the floor I hand it right back. I know when my floor is clean or not and so I am pretty comfortable handing back the snack or cup, it builds up the immune system right? Public spills are a great big NO WAY when it comes to the 5 second rule instead I use the dropped it’s gone rule. Sadly my idea as to the appropriateness of the 5 second rule was shattered the other day when I learned Clorox and San Diego university conducted a study that proves the 5 second rule to be a myth. But on the upside I got to chat with Samantha Bee of the Daily Show a funny and witty mom who herself used to abide by the 5 second rule. She recommended a great new site called Simple & Surprising where Clorox helps you to be 5 second rule ready. When it comes to keeping your items clean and sanitized bleach is your best friend and Clorox has all the tips and tricks for you on just how to use it. If you are like me bleach scares you a bit but after reading just how to dilute it appropriately to disinfect I feel armed with the necessary knowledge to keep clinging to my 5 second rule (only at home of course)!

Guess what? Clorox wants to give one lucky Thrifty & Chic Mom reader a Clorox Surprise Pack valued at $20. To enter tell me your thoughts on the 5 second rule or a funny story involving the 5 second rule. For extra entries do any or all of the following leaving a separate comment for each entry.

Buca di Beppo, cheaper than Drive Thru + Giveaway

Did you know that you can actually eat at Buca di Beppo for cheaper than you can do a drive thru with your family? Don’t believe me? Let me show you how. Every month Buca di Beppo releases a $10 off $20 purchase coupon, they can be found in ValPak or if you are a member of the eclub you will get one emailed to you every month. Plus just for joining the eclub you get a FREE APPETIZER and a FREE DESSERT on your birthday. If you are not familiar with Buca di Beppo let me give you a little insight, Buca is a family style restaurant which means they only serve dishes that are meant for 2-3 people or 4-6 people, no individual servings. This is a great cost saver for you because as my husband and I found out the 2-3 person dish is easily enough for 4. We had the pleasure of enjoying an amazing spicy shrimp pasta dish, since everything is fresh and made right in the restaurant ( no cans for Buca) it was delicious! The shrimp where huge, plump and  fresh and the sauce was AMAZING. We tried the garlic cheese bread and I could have just eaten that for my dinner ( I highly suggest it for your free appetizer) and we also had the appetizer sampler with amazing fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms and mozzarella sticks, it was all so good, nothing was even just ok it was all delicious. For dessert we shared  cheesecake and it was my favorite kind new york style with no crust just pure cream cheese pleasure, mm mmm mmmm!

So now that your mouth is watering let me tell you haw you can score this amazing fresh food for less than drive thru, use your coupon for a take out order. Here is an example dishes start around $22 for a 2-3 person dish. In my experience this comfortably feeds 4 adults use your $10 off a $20 purchase coupon and voila you just paid about $3 per person, that is incredible!!!!! The coupon is valid dine in or carry out and you can even use it on Valentine’s Day. If you are in Columbus, OH I highly suggest you go to the Worthington Buca di Beppo location the service is phenomenal and the manager Edward is fantastic, he runs an impressive restaurant. Find a local restaurant near you HERE.

I am giving away a $25 gift card to Buca di Beppo tonight during my #LiveGive Twitter party!

I was provided products free of charge in order to give my honest opinion, all opinions are my own.

Boon Fli and Peep Giveaway #LiveGive

Boon is one of my favorite brands for innovative baby products, I own the Flair high chair and I adore it and now Boon has infiltrated my nursery. Boon just released two fabulous new mobiles the wall mounted Peep and the ceiling mounted Fli. Both are fun whimsical mobiles that will delight your children. My 2 and 4 year old loved the Fli dragonfly’s so much we hung them from the ceiling in the play room. Every child who enters the room is delighted by the floating pink and blue dragonflies. The Peep dangles adorable baby chicks above my daughter’s head and captures her attention. Both of these are fabulous additions to any nursery or play room.

I have one Fli ($24.99)and one Peep ($29.99) to giveaway on Monday 2/1 during #LiveGive on Twitter. The party will start at 9Pm EST and in order to qualify you must first leave a comment on this post telling me which other Boon product you like and your Twitter name , then tweet away with the hashtag #LiveGive and follow me @ThriftyChicMom.

I received free product in order to provide my honest opinion, all opinions are my own.

Britax Chaperone Carseat Giveaway #LiveGive

When moms hear the name Britax they immediately think quality. Britax is known as one of the highest ranking makers of car seats and their is a reason, they make fantastic car seats. The Britax Chaperone infant carrier is the first car seat your child will ever need. It fits infants from 4-30 lbs and up to 32 inches. It is rear facing and comes with side impact protection and a rebound bar on the base. This car seat is fantastic, I have had 2 other infant car seats before this and I love this one the best. This car seat is much safer than anything I have owned and much easier to install. With the built in Lock -Off system to help make instillation a breeze it really is simple to install and leveling the base is just as easy. In the past I have dreaded the idea of moving the base when I needed the car seat in another car, now it is so easy I don’t mind at all. The Chaperone is compatible with not only the Chaperone stroller but most other strollers as well, it comes with an adapter strap to make it work with most strollers. I have a Bumbleride Indie Twin and it works perfect with it. Another feature I love about this car seat is how easy it is to adjust. Their is no re-threading of the straps and they are easy to loosen or tighten to get baby in and out with ease. Overall I think this is a fantastic car set, my only complaint is the weight, this is a very heavy car seat. After owning lighter car seats I think the extra safety features and convenience of use make it worth the extra weight.

I will be giving away a Britax Chaperone car seat ( $229) on Monday 2/1 during #LiveGive on Twitter. The party will start at 9Pm EST and in order to qualify you must first leave a comment on this post telling me which pattern of the Chaperone you like the best and your Twitter name , then tweet away with the hashtag #LiveGive and follow me @ThriftyChicMom. I will draw a winner randomly from those who have tweeted with the hashtag during the party on Monday. For Complete rules and instructions go HERE.
