Go Green with Kroger and Win a $25 Gift Card!

I am disturbed to say that after I started writing today’s post, I went to find last year’s post about this contest, and discovered that Jenny had used this very same title last year. I think we need to spend less time together.

In any case, Jenny and I are happy to partner with Kroger once again, as they promote reusable shopping bags. Between now and May 15, Kroger is inviting everyone to visit www.kroger.com/green where you can enter the Kroger Reusable Shopping Bag Contest. You can design your own reusable grocery bag with Kroger.com’s design tool.

Here’s the bag I made (and yes, you can order one of your very own and sport your Mommin It Up pride wherever you go, haha)

Prizes will be awarded to the top 10 bag designs – one lucky designer will win a $1,000 Kroger gift card, four finalists will receive $250 Kroger gift cards, and five runners-up will receive $100 Kroger gift cards. I am pretty sure my fantastic design is going to be the big winner, but if you want a shot at the big prize, click here to enter for yourself!

Kroger has generously provided us with two $25 gift cards to give away to our readers! To enter, go to www.kroger.com/green and design your bag. Once you’re done, click “Email to a Friend,” and send your design to us at green [at] momminitup [dot] com by midnight on Thursday, April 18. We’ll pick our five favorites, and then let our readers choose one winner. Everyone who emails us a bag will be entered to win the other gift card, and that winner will be chosen by using random.org.

Good luck!

Oh, and P.S. Our cartoon selves are at it again! Check us out here.

Pampers One Pack = One Vaccine Giveaway

Emily and I are proud to be joining Pampers in helping to spread the word about their One Pack = One Vaccine program. This program, is part of a global initiative with UNICEF to wipe out maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). MNT is a preventable disease that claims the lives of approximately 128,000 infants and 30,000 mothers in less industrialized nations each year – that’s approximately one death every four minutes.

For every specially marked pack of Pampes diapers and wipes you purchase through May 1st in the U.S. and Canada, the funds for one life-saving vaccine will be donated! So by doing something you do ANYWAYS, you can help save a life! In addition, if you are part of the Pampers Gifts to Grow program, you can redeem Gifts to Grow points for a special onesie that will also trigger the donation of a vaccine.

Here’s what this awesome campaign has accomplished in past years, from the campaign’s website:

Funding from the “One Pack=One Vaccine” program has been essential to helping UNICEF provide much-needed tetanus vaccines to help protect moms and their newborn babies in developing nations against tetanus.

1. In the 2008 North America campaign, Pampers provided funding to UNICEF for over 50 million tetanus vaccines to help protect moms and their newborn babies against tetanus.
2. In the 2009 campaign in North America, Pampers aims to raise funds to help provide an additional 30 million vaccines.
3. Thanks to Pampers’ funding, the total global donations have helped UNICEF provide more than 100 million vaccines through August 31, 2008, and the North American goal was far exceeded.
4. The global campaign goal is to provide funding for more than 200 million life-saving tetanus vaccines over the next three years.

So go out and getcha some Pampers, and together we can save a life!! To get you excited about this campaign, Emily and I have a coupon for one FREE pack of Pampers to give away! Here’s how to enter:
