Happy Halloween $500 Kmart Gift Card Giveaway

 

It’s Halloween Giveaway Event

Every years my kids tend to pick the same costumes.  I allow them to pick their costumes because I had idea of what I wanted to be as a kid too.  I try to encourage their imagination and pretend play. The only problem was that my boys would always pick the same things pretty much star wars or ninjas for my middle son and star wars or military for my oldest son.  I was so excited when my middle son picked this costume:

Bacon Costume

I think he looks super cute!  I’m sure everyone’s kids will look cute, or cool, or pretty. or whatever.  Let’s keep out little ones safe though.  Remember Halloween Safety tips:

–wear light clothing, reflective tape, clip on reflectors, or carry a flash light to make sure cars can see you

–Parents or another responsible adult should be with young children and ensure they do wander to far off and only go to familiar houses.

–Only go to well lit houses and houses that are familiar to you

–Make sure to check your candy. Open pieces or pieces that look like they’ve been tampered with in any way should be thrown out.  I know in our area, there are several medical offices and chiropractic offices that will x-ray halloween candy for free which I think is pretty cool of them.

–Older children (tween and teens) should stay in groups if not with a parent and talk to parents about where they plan on going and what times to expect them home.

–Stick to well lit streets

Warner Bros. Spook-tacular Movie Giveaway

I was just telling my boys today that there is just a little over 2 weeks until our trick or treat night.  They all have their costumes.  Except my oldest, he decided he’s too old for trick or treat this year and he’s going to help his grandpa hand out candy while I take his brothers and sister trick or treating.

One of my fave things about Halloween is some of the Halloween specials on t.v. I’ve always been a fan of Scooby Doo Halloween specials and who doesn’t love “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown”?

Pacific Rim on Blu-Ray Giveaway!

I remember seeing the trailer for the movie.  I know it was a movie my husband wanted to see.  Unfortunately we don’t make it to the movies very often.  Most of our movie watching is done at home on DVD or On-Demand.  I know the hubs and I will be having a movie night now that Pacific Rim will be out on DVD and Blu-ray on Oct. 15
Directed by Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim is an epic science fiction film set in the 2020s. Earth is at war with Kaijus; colossal monsters from an inter-dimensional gateway on the Pacific Ocean floor. Humanity unites to fight these huge monsters by creating the Jaegers: gigantic humanoid robots that are controlled by two pilots whose minds and memories are linked. The story takes place in the later days of the war, following Raleigh Becket, a former Jaeger pilot called out of retirement and paired up with newbie pilot Mako Mori in a final effort to defeat the Kaijus!


Partnershub has a fun new app with a Pacific Rim theme.  Take the Pacific Rim Super Fan Quiz and see how you score.  Check out the Pacific Rim GIFs or soundboard for more fun.  
This movie would make a great gift for the sci-fi fan you know.  Here’s your chance to win a copy of Pacific Rim on Blu-Ray.

Create Custom Shirts from WhoopTee.com Enter to win a Luv Saving Money shirt!

**I was able to create a custom shirt in order to complete a review. No other compensation has been received**

It’s something I’ve been wanting to do, create a shirt for my blog.  I thought it would be great to have when I do on-site reviews, represent at a show, or when I finally make it to an in person blogging conference.  Sure I’d wear it for other things too but that’s really why I wanted one.

Whatever your reason for wanting custom t shirts, WhoopTee.com can help you.  Family reunions, teams, clubs, websites, whatever. Given the first paragraph, when I had a chance to create mine you can guess what I created.  Yup, a LuvSavingMoney.info shirt and I’m so excited.

This is what the designer tool looks like to design your own custom t shirt.   It took me a few minutes to figure out how to do what I wanted to do but once i got the hand of it I was trying different things, moving stuff around, and eventually save my design. Now I have my own LuvSavingMoney.info shirt I can wear proudly :-).

I chose a fitted tshirt but there are lots of shirt types to choose from. Unisex shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts. If you were to create a custom t shirt, what would you want to do?  You could even design your own holiday shirt if you wanted to!

The fitted shirt was a bit snug.  I ordered the size I normally wear but I might have done better to get a size bigger.  It was soft and light weight.  It washed well and didn’t fade.  And Hey it’s pink and what a better month to wear pink right?

October is SIDS Awareness Month Raise Awareness with HALO

**I received a sample of the below mentioned product in order to complete this post.  No other compensation has been received**

Having a baby is such a blessing.  A baby can bring so much joy.  With a baby comes a lot of questions and some worries too.  One question that a new parent may have is, “What is the safest way for baby to sleep?” When going through parenting classes and talking to pediatricians the subject of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) will inevitably come up.  It’s a scary thing to think about.  There are ways to give your baby the safest sleep you can give them.  October is SIDS Awareness Month so it’s a great time to talk about a safe sleep for baby.

HALO’s website offers tips for safe sleep for baby.  You can also download and print a sleep safety check off list:

ALWAYS
  • Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
  • Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snuggly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
  • Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
  • Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
  • Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
NEVER
  • Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (adult beds, sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins etc.)
  • Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.
This is something I worried about with all four of my kids and still do with my daughter.  I remember the first few nights that each of them started sleeping for a few hours at a clip.  I should have been enjoying the blocks of sleep but instead I just had to get up and check on them to make sure they were alright.  
Here’s a scary statistic, Did you know that 80-90% of SIDS cases are due to unsafe sleep practices? 
 
HALO sleep sacks are a comfy and adorable way to keep baby comfortable at night and not have to worry about baby getting a blanket over their head or getting tangled in a blanket.  I love the HALO sleep sacks.  They’re easy to take off and on and come in lots of cute designs.  They offer exclusive microfleece designs at buybuybaby.com 
 
I got to try one of the exclusive designs from buybuybaby.com, the pink zigzag bird HALO sleepsack. 
 
Another thing I had always heard about safe sleep practices for baby is not to have toys and other loose objects in the crib.  I occasionally put a couple in with her when she’s awake to keep her busy until I can get her but that’s about it.  I do have that little monkey pull toy on the bar of her crib.  
HALO sleepsack SIDS
 
 I love that you can easily wash the sleep sack.  I also like that it’s loose enough to allow baby to kick and move a bit but not so loose I’d have to worry about her wiggling out of it.  HALO Sleep Sack is something I always consider as a gift for new moms, especially first time moms who might not know about the Sleep Sacks.  They also have HALO Sleep Sacks for Early Walkers and Big Kids too!
Autumn close up HALO
I’m going to urge you to like HALO on facebook during the month of October.  For every new like they get in October they will donate $1 to SIDS awareness.
