Happy Friday! My favorite brand in all of baby land has a great giveaway for you today and some pretty new wipes designs, too! You may remember back in October I went to Cincy for a blogger day as part of the Pampers Baby Board. It was not only fun, there was also business to be done! And one of those items of bizniss was voting on the designs for the next generation of Pampers Wipes that are in stores N-O-W! Here are the designs that my fellow  bloggers and I chose:

Are they not the definition of totes adorbs? The whale design on the bottom is my fave! But the great thing about these wipes is what’s inside the package: a strong, thick, lofty wipe with a SoftGrip™ texture that really absorbs all that baby mess but is gentle on their skin, too. Pampers wipes are the best! I got to see an amazing strength test performed on them when I was at Pampers Blogger Day and it was really impressive and eye-opening!

So, when you are hitting up the drugstore or the grocery for some wipes, you know what brand to get – and look for these darling new designs. It was fun playing even a small part in their development.

To celebrate the release of these fab wipes, Pampers sent me a wonderful picnic prize pack with everything my family would need for a fun day out together – and they want to send one of you lucky readers one as well! Check it out:

This literally came in the largest package I have ever received! Inside was a ginormous and gorgeous picnic basket, 3 packs of Pampers wipes, Pampers Easy-Ups (you can choose if you want diapers or Easy-Ups and what size you want), some great baby toys and supplies, an awesome mega-mat picnic blanket, and a Polaroid camera to document the family fun! It is so cool! I didn’t even know they still made those. Reminds me of my Grandpa. 🙂 This is one amazing prize pack! We plan to take a family outing with it this weekend, so I haven’t taken any pictures yet but I’ll share some soon!

Here’s how to enter to win this fabbbbulous family fun prize pack! Simply leave a comment on this post telling me WHERE you would picnic with it! One winner will be chosen Friday, August 15 at 6pm EST.

Thanks, Pampers, for the great giveaway. Good luck!

Ladies and gent (UP), I am about to BLOW YOUR MINDS with a back-to-school giveaway. Think back, children of the 80s and 90s, what was your very favorite school supply item EVAH? Did it happen to look something like…THIS?

So maybe yours had kittens or puppies or a horse on it, but if you knew what was UP, you had a Trapper Keeper. And now, SO CAN YOUR KIDS!! That’s right, people…

My friends, all of your old skool supply fantasies have come true. You can now re-live your childhood by hooking your kid up with a Trapper Keeper for school this year! And it’s snazzy re-design makes it better than ever. I don’t even know WHY I was worried about Joshua going to middle school. He will rule the halls with this thing!

Aww yeah. He now has all the tools he needs to succeed in Middle School. Thanks, Trapper Keeper!

When Emily and I were at Mom 2.0 we met the Trapper Keeper crew, several of whom reside right here in Dayton, OHIO WHAAAAT!?!?! Because in case you didn’t know, Dayton is the original home of Trapper Keeper. YESSIR! And we are proud of it!

But I digress. Let me tell you why YOU, yes YOU are gonna wanna win one of these awesome new Trapper Keepers, fully loaded with accessories like the Trapper Keeper student planner, pocket folder, dividers, and 1-subject notebook.

My favorite feature is the Snapper Trapper reinforced holes that keep your items IN the Trapper Keeper binder but also make them a snap to remove…allow me to demonstrate:

Cool, right? The new Trapper Keeper and all its accessories is totally BOSS! And you can win one! Here’s how to enter:

All you have to do to enter is either go to TrapperKeeper.com or Trapper Keeper’s Facebook page (where they are also having some SWEET giveaways!) and look around at the all-new Trapper Keeper line, then come back here and leave me a comment telling me what your fave feature is!

For an OPTIONAL second entry, you can leave me a second, separate comment telling me what kind of Trapper Keeper you had as a kid (kittens over here, naturally!) OR if you were a deprived child and didn’t have  one, WHOSE you envied. OOOH!

One giveaway winner will be chosen on Friday August 1 at 6pm EST! Good luck and happy TRAPPIN’!!

Thanks, Mead, for providing me with a Trapper Keeper to review and the one to give away! All opinions about the Trapper Keeper are naturally, my very own.

We’ve all got lists of things to worry about.

If you’re neurotic like me, you’ve got lists of your lists of things to worry about.

A few years ago, I wrote about the things on my list at that particular time – one of which was changing the batteries in my home smoke alarms.

Seven months later, I wrote about how I still hadn’t changed the batteries and how I laid awake in bed nearly every night worrying about it.

Had I known about Kidde Worry-Free smoke and CO alarms, I could have at least marked that one thing off my list.

These are battery-operated alarms – batteries that last 10 years. They also have a photoelectric smoke sensor that is programmed to minimize false alarms (aka, my cooking). Additionally, they’re location-specific, so the alarms made for hallways have super-bright LED lights, and those for bedrooms have a voice warning for those who may sleep through the traditional beep.

Also? That 10-year battery thing means no chirping.

In addition to manufacturing quality, effective (and not annoying) alarms, Kidde is committed to helping keep kids safe in their homes. Here are some of their recommended links to information on how to protect your family from a fire, handling medications safely, and to educate yourself on how to teach your kids about fire safety.

As we all know, fire safety is serious business. This infographic hit home with me.

Working smoke alarms reduce the chance of dying in a home fire by half.

All the more reason to get Kidde’s Worry-Free alarms!

Now that we can mark off worrying about the smoke alarms, here’s another list for us to take on.

We’re giving away a Worry Free Smoke Alarm to one lucky winner!

To enter, leave a comment on this post. For an extra entry, take the Kidde Home Safety Month Quiz (don’t forget to tell them Mommin’ It Up sent you!) and leave another comment saying you did so.

We’ll choose a winner on July 1. Good luck!
