National Adoption Month Awareness $100 Amazon Giveaway 11/30

11/23/2015

6 Comments

 
We are shar­ing this post as part of a Blog­gin’ Mamas Social Good Cam­paign, and were not com­pen­sated for doing so.
National Adoption Month Awareness Giveaway- US 18+- Ends 11-30-15  
 Bloggin' Mamas is sponsoring this giveaway in support of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, AdoptUSKids, and the Ad Council. November is National Adoption Month and they are encouraging prospective parents to adopt older youth from foster care. The theme for National Adoption Month is, "We Never Outgrow the Need for Family." That's because older children and youth still have many big milestones in their life they need a family for. There are 415,000 children in the U.S. foster care system and 108,000 are waiting to be adopted.

 AdoptUSKids’ maintains a national photo listing service for children waiting to be adopted. Since the project launched in 2002, more than 25,000 children who were once photo listed on adoptuskids.org have been adopted and nearly 38,000 families have registered to adopt through the website. Nevertheless, older youth are disproportionately represented – approximately 41 percent of children and youth photo listed on adoptuskids.org are between 15 and 18 years old, but only 17 percent of those adopted have been in this age group. Older youth and teens have lower adoption rates than younger children, and they often wait longer to be adopted. But no matter their age, all kids need a supportive, loving home and the teenage years are a critical period for growth. Visit adoptuskids.org or to call 1-888-200-4005(English) or 1-877-236-7831 (Spanish) to receive the latest information about the foster care system and the adoption process. You can also visit the campaign’s communities on Facebook and Twitter.

And Now for the Giveaway!

One Win­ner will Win a $100 Ama­zon Giftcard! Give­away begins Novem­ber 21st, 2015 at 6pm EST and ends November 30th, 2015 at 11:59 pm EST. Open to US res­i­dents age 18 and older.

We are a very musical family. My Dad is basically a Rock Star here in the NE Ohio area, and plays keyboards, guitar, and even dabbles in vocals a bit. He's actually in a great Heart tribute band, and going to see him play is a definite treat! 

I also have an Uncle in a band, a cousin that can sing her butt off, and my 5 year old, Sophie, wants to be a singer and performer when she grows up. Music runs in her blood, after all! 

So when we learned that one of our favorite games, Guitar Hero, is BACK, we couldn't have been more excited. We were sad when these games stopped being produced, and we still play the older games often. So naturally, we were thrilled to be able to check out Guitar Hero Live! (This new game is available for the PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE, Wii U, and Tablets)

“Unleash your inner rock star. Guitar Hero Live is here. FreeStyleGames have reinvented the legendary Guitar Hero franchise, with two innovative new gameplay modes and an all-new guitar controller. GH Live mode puts you onstage, looking out: you get a heart-stopping first-person perspective as a real crowd reacts to the notes you play. Or switch over to GHTV – an always-on music video network, where you can play along in real time, discover new music, and challenge friends around the world.”

It's shopping season, everyone! (Does this stress you out as much as it does me?) The stores are packed, people are fighting over merchandise, and finding decent parking? Forget about it!

Thankfully, most of my Holiday shopping is done. I have a few more gifts to buy, but this year, I am being smart. Instead of buying gifts that I'm not even sure the recipient will like, I am going to be giving several gift cards instead! You can't go wrong with the gift of choice, after all! 

Buying gift cards at your local Giant Eagle store BEFORE you shop, dine or hit the town can save you almost 20%! (Now THAT is a lot of savings!)

Now through 11/25, savvy shoppers can TRIPLE dip on savings when they purchase select gift cards. Here’s How it works:

Earn Coupons: Get a $10 coupon for EVERY $100 you spend on gift cards from: Visa Gift, Sears, Best Buy, Google, Fandango and JCPenney

Earn Credit Card Rewards: By using your favorite rewards credit card to purchase, you can earn points, miles or a percentage back on your purchase. Some credit cards even offer increased rewards for purchases made at grocery. For example, the Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express offers 3% cash back on groceries, and the Blue Cash Preferred® Card offers a whopping 6% cash back!

Earn Fuel Rewards: Earn 10₵ fuelperks! For every $50 spent on gift cards.

The math!
$10 off coupon +
$6 back if you earn 6% cash back on credit card grocery purchases +
$3 savings when you fill up with your Giant Eagle fuelperks! ($.20 off per gallon @ 15 gallons) =
$19 in savings on a $100 gift card purchase!

$19 off every $100 purchase equals some pretty major savings, especially if you've got several gift cards to purchase! 

So definitely head on over to your local Giant Eagle and snag up these gift card deals before it's too late! This offer is only valid through November 25th! 

Enter to WIN :

Now for some fun! 

Who would like to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card? This is yet another way to help you save on your Holiday gifts! 

This giveaway will end on 11/25 and the drawing will be held on 11/26! Good luck! ​

Do you have any gamers in your family? I sure do! My husband and all 3 of my kiddos are hooked on video games. One of their absolute favorites would have to be Minecraft. My little ones love these games more than life itself, and they have an absolute fit when it's time to turn the games off to go to bed, eat, take a bath, etc. They would literally play Minecraft ALL DAY LONG if I allowed it. Which of course, I don't. Everything in moderation, right?

Recently, I learned about some great new adventures in the Minecraft world. Minecraft Story Mode is available now for the PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE, and for your PC or Mac. How cool is that?!

When I was a kid, I remember building log cabins and villages with my brother using Lincoln Logs. This was one of the few activities we could do together without trying to kill one another. Ahh, the joys of sibling rivalry. I'm sure some of you can relate, right? Anyway, Lincoln Logs were one toy that my little brother on I could agree to play with together, and we usually did so peacefully. 

So of course, now that I have my own kids, who coincidentally also love to fight with one another, we have a nice collection of Lincoln Logs for them to play with. 

Lincoln Logs are a wonderful way to encourage creativity and imagination, and they also help with fine motor skills and critical thinking. Kids love fitting these logs together and creating houses, sheds, stables, and more. Really, there are no limits to what kids can create with Lincoln Logs. They can make anything they can imagine! How fun is that?!

Lularoe The Softest Leggings In the History Of the UNIVERSE Plus GIVEAWAY 2 WINNERS #Sponsored 12/5

I have to admit, the biggest reason I love the fall season is because I can break out some boots and cute leggings. I am all about comfort, so when comfort just happens to be the style of the season, I get pretty excited. And what's more cozy than a great pair of leggings, right? 

Wait....I take that back....I've seen the People of Walmart website, so I am painfully aware that not all leggings are created equal. Nowhere near, in fact. Some leggings rip and tear quite easily, making them a complete waste of a purchase. Other leggings are a bit see-through, and can accidentally expose a woman's undergarments, clear as day. How embarrassing would that be? 

So basically, there are awful leggings, there are decent leggings, and then there are GREAT leggings. 

LuLuRoe offers the world's greatest leggings. I do not say this lightly, either. I am a huge fan of leggings in general, and I practically live in them. Anyway, LuLaRoe is a very unique brand that is dedicated to eclectic, fun styles as well as comfort. They offer tops, leggings, skirts, and dresses, and each style is an incredibly limited edition, so you can always be assured you'll stand out in a crowd!

Do your kids love running, jumping, playing, and bouncing off of the walls any chance they get? I know mine sure do! It seems I am reminding them every 5 seconds that furniture is not for climbing and that we do not run through the house like little Tazmanian Devils. 

Needless to say, we spend a lot of time in the yard letting them get their energy out! When I discovered Slimeball Dodgetag from the folks at Diggin' Active, I knew that my kiddos would be in love. After all, slimeballs seem to have a universal appeal among kids, and my kids love any excuse to throw things at each other. It's a win-win situation. 

Diggin' Active specializes in fun products that allow kids to live an active and imaginative lifestyle, indoors or out. They have some great games like Dodge Tag and Pop Out Bowling, just to name a couple, and they even have an electronic children's trampoline that looks amazing!
