Why BEN 10 Galactic Racing is the perfect holiday gift? – WIN

November 23, 2011 By 22 Comments

Do you ever have a problem trying to figure out what to buy that special little boy in your life? That is me with my nephews. I am always scratching my head. Thankfully, D3Publisher helped make that decision for me this year.

For the past year, I have heard tidbits here and there about BEN 10. Since I have girls, I didn’t realize how popular this TV series was among kids. The publishers have took this hit TV series (among 4.3 million kids) and made a racing game.

Fans of BEN 10 will enjoy an experience like never before in a galactic grand prix filled with surprises at every turn. My nephews are going to be so stoked! An extra special addition is the game is 100% authentic to the show.

Not only is the game crazy fun for kids, but it is also perfect for families as up to four players can play together. Who doesn’t love a little high-speed, family friendly competition?

Players can choose from up to 30 karts, and experience more than 25 race tracks which include action-packed courses that shift mid-race, on five massive planets. Players can race as Ben, who can transform into aliens mid-race by picking up special power-ups, or as other characters from the BEN 10 universe.

BEN 10 Galactic Racing is available for the Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It will be available on the Nintendo 3DS later this month.

WIN!

3 lucky fans are going to win their very own copy of Ben 10 Galactic Racing – $39.99 ARV.

To Enter:

Coolest adventure family game–Happy Feet Two WIN!

November 21, 2011 By 45 Comments

Welcome to the big HOLIDAY giveaway week here at One Moms World. We are starting off a week of giveaways today with a game that will have the whole family in stitches. Seriously, the game is that much fun.

Happy Feet Two – The video game is poised to be on of the coolest adventure games for the entire family this holiday season. We are very picky when it comes to games that we pick out for our family and I am very pleased to say this game is rated “E” for Everyone by the ESRB.

Since L is such a huge animal lover, I knew this game would be a huge hit with her. I didn’t realize though the whole family would enjoy it so much?! We literally have a foot stomping good time as we say here in the South.

Happy Feet Two is a 3D musical adventure game inspired by the whimsical Antarctic world of the upcoming animated film Happy Feet Two. Whenever we are at SeaWorld or the Zoo, a penguin exhibit stop is very high on our list. I often wonder if the first movie of Happy Feet had something to do with that strong attracting to Penguins. Even the hubby loves penguins.

The game has dangers threatening the penguin nation, and the whole family has to work together which includes dancing, to save the penguins from extinction. Very exciting and a team building game for sure.

Game Features:

Side-by-side Co-op Play: Players can get into the rhythm with friends and family with co-op play as Mumble and Ramon, two of the film’s main characters.

Tap to the Beat: The game’s all new, controller-based dance system uses players’ rhythm to bring the Antarctic landscape to life. Players can tap to the beat of the music, compete in penguin dance showdowns and belly sliding races.

Meet the Cast of Characters: Players can use dance moves to recruit other penguins with unique abilities or win over other animals that advance the adventures.

Pretty cool interactive features right? You can WIN a copy of the Wii version for a special family holiday surprise.

It is the most wonderful time of the year. I love this time of year and it is absolutely hands down my favorite time with all the seasons. Exciting news this week as VeggieTales released their new Christmas 2011 DVD release, The Little Drummer Boy. My precious L has already watched the DVD at least ten times. It is the DVD she chooses every time we get in the car. I will be putting up my full review soon with a giveaway.

Join VeggieTales on Twitter this holiday season to “tweet” your best – to tweet all you can to support your favorite cause! VeggieTales is launching the Twitter hashtag #tweetyourbest – a simple Twitter-based campaign to help YOU support your favorite charity this Christmas season.

Tweet about your charity and use the hashtag #tweetyourbest – and encourage your followers and fans to do so as well! Include @VeggieTales in your tweets for a chance for it to be retweeted by the official VeggieTales Twitter account.

VeggieTales will follow the hashtag to discover which charity is getting the most buzz. On December 19th, the campaign will end and VeggieTales will make a $1,000 Christmas donation to the winning charity!

How to participate:

• Decide what charity (or charities) you want to support through the #tweetyourbest

Kodak Susan G Komen Camera – WIN

October 19, 2011 By 58 Comments

October is all about Pink month. It is a month that everyone comes together and raises awareness about Breast Cancer. Take the time this month and encourage your family members, friends, and co-workers to do their monthly breast exams and schedule their mammograms. Early detection is key. According to Susan G. Komen, A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It is the best screening tool used today to find breast cancer early. A mammogram can find cancer in its earliest stages, even before a lump can be felt.

Several retailers take this month and offer pink products. Proceeds from these pink products are donated to Cancer research. Kodak is offering the Susan G Komen Camera.

“Kodak is pleased to offer a uniquely pink camera bundle in our first partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Richard Ford, general manager for Kodak’s digital capture and accessories, Americas region. “Susan G. Komen is dedicated to raising awareness about this worthwhile cause and we are happy to team-up and get the word out to consumers with the launch of the EasyShare C1530 camera bundle.”

The camera is a one-of-a-kind camera bundle from Kodak featuring a 14-megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom and a Kodak Share Button in pink, as well as a slim camera case, 4GB memory card and wrist strap with pink ribbons. What’s more, $4 out of every purchase of the camera will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help fight breast cancer.

One of our readers will WIN one!

Real Steel opens in theaters TODAY – Giveaway!

October 6, 2011 By 5 Comments

Disney is releasing another movie today that I am sure is going to follow right in The Help’s footsteps. I have not been able to watch Real Steel but from all the reviews I have been reading, it doesn’t seem like it will be a movie that disappoints.

“Real Steel” is an action drama about a former boxer (Hugh Jackman) who, against all odds, gets one last shot at a comeback when he teams up with his estranged son (Dakota Goyo) to build and train the perfect contender for the new high-tech sport of robot boxing.

Let’s take a peek at the trailer:

A couple of fun facts about Real Steel –

1. Toronto-native Dakota Goyo was chosen from thousands of 10-year-old boys who auditioned for the role of Max, Hugh Jackman’s on-screen son, as part of an international casting search.

2. Filming the robot boxing scenes was done with both motion-capture technology and practical-built, full-scale robots. The motion-capture elements were performed and shot months earlier on a stage in Los Angeles. Fighters were put in the ring wearing data-capturing jumpsuits and as they fought, their motions were converted into robot avatars in the computer and instantaneously appeared on the monitors on set. Then, during principal photography, the filmmakers lined up their cameras on an empty ring and the motion-capture data streamed through their cameras, allowing them to watch and frame the robot fighting in the ring in real time.

Check the movie out at a theater or IMAX near you!

WIN IT

Real Steel Prize Pack:

- REAL STEEL t-shirt in adult sizes of S, M, L, XL

- REAL STEEL bottle opener

- REAL STEEL stickers

- REAL STEEL temporary tattoos

Take the Pledge to help provide eye exams and glasses for kids

September 21, 2011 By 145 Comments

Thank you ALL for taking the pledge. Our winner is comment #23 – Nanette. Congratulations!

Did you know that one of the most important exams in a kids life doesn’t take place in school? The exam actually takes place in an optometrist’s office. Unfortunately, not every kid has access to this exam. Millions of kids go each year with vision problems that are undetected. This is not only sad, but it also causes learning problems with the kids. I can remember clearly when I was in school. I sat in the back of classroom and the words begin fading more and more each day. I was too embarrassed to say anything as we were not a rich family. My teacher finally asked me why I was squinting so much and sent a note home to my parents. Thankfully, I was able to get an exam and get the much needed eye glasses that I needed. My story though is not always the case for kids all across the U.S. We can work hard together and change that with the help of VSP Vision Care.

VSP, the largest not-for-profit vision benefits and services company in the United States, launched the Eye Pledge campaign to support and promote the importance of healthy vision. People nationwide are encouraged to give back by taking the Eye Pledge at www.SeeMuchMore.com and selecting either their local Boys & Girls Club or choosing to donate to a Club with the greatest need. For every Eye Pledge taken, a gift certificate, valid for a comprehensive eye exam and, if needed, a pair of glasses, will be donated by VSP.

To date, through VSP charity programs including VSP Mobile Eyes® and Sight for Students®, and through relationships with partners like BGCA, VSP has donated more than $138 million in free eye care and glasses to more than 715,000 children and adults. These services have resulted in the early detection of nearly 2,000 chronic health and eye diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma and cataracts in children across the country.

Will you take the pledge with me? Let’s help kids get the eye exams and glasses that they need. You never know when we can be saving a child’s eye sight too.

WIN! VSP Vision Care is offering one of my readers who take the pledge a $200 Visa Gift Card.

To Enter:

1. Take the pledge

2. Leave a comment letting us know you took the pledge and why eye health matters so much to you?

Mom it is time to get organized + GIVEAWAY

August 30, 2011 By 29 Comments

Did I just step on toes with that statement? Listen, I am not stepping on any toes because if anyone needs their toes stepped on, it is me. I am so not an organized person in my home life, but when it comes to college and work life, I am super organized. What gives? My husband keeps uttering words, I sure wish you would bring your professional organized skills into the home as well. It takes time, it takes products, and the main thing… it takes priority. Fortunately, since I am sure I cannot grab more hours out of the day, I can use products.

Blue Sky saw I was an organized wreck and offered to get me on the right foot for the school year. These super fun products are in stores through mid-September so I wanted to make sure I took the time to tell you about these awesome organization toys for mom!

The Blue Sky Home Series provides a smart, stylish solution for busy moms to get organized for the upcoming school year with a fresh, contemporary design from designer Susy Jack* Contemporary Paper.

To develop this innovative line, Blue Sky went directly to moms to learn real-life insights on how they manage their busy lives. The Blue Sky Home Series fills a need that online calendars cannot. I am sorry, but I just cannot get use to online calendars. I am a visual person and my husband is too. We need to see the calendar laid out in front of us so we know what the day lays ahead for us.

My two favorite products from the Home Series line:

The weekly/monthly calendar is super stylish since moms did help design them you know?! Also, the calendar is just the perfect size for you to carry around with you.

This 3.5 x 7 planner is compact yet complete. Weekly and monthly calendar views allow for detailed scheduling and the snap keeps all your notes together and in-place.

Susy Jack Door Note “Don’t Forget” – I really think Blue Sky had me in mind when they came up with these door notes. I am seriously the most forgetful person and when it couples with all the events going on, there is just no hope… UNTIL Now! I have been placing these door notes on the front door before I take the girls to school each morning and I am so proud to say, we have not forgot one thing yet. This is a huge step forward.

And moms… the part you are going to love as well is the price point on the Blue Sky Home products. The products range in price from $3.99 to $9.99 to fit every family budget and are sold at Target stores and on the Blue Sky website through September.

WIN a Blue Sky Home Series Set and feel better about your organization skills.

Preserve Memories with Walgreens Glass Prints + Giveaway

August 23, 2011 By 226 Comments

Congratulations to comment #43 nanjhall!

Over the past couple of years, you have seen Walgreens pop up all over the country. Each store really gives you that hometown feel each time you walk in no matter where you are in the United States. Since we travel a lot as a family, I feel secure when I see a Walgreens in a city we are visiting. I know I am able to walk in and grab a health and beauty item, talk to the pharmacist on duty, pick up a souvenir for the city we are visiting, get digital pictures developed and even grab a delicious snack. Walgreens really has you covered and now they even are helping you preserve your family memories with a new photo gift, glass prints. I have seen different photo gifts during my lifetime, but I have to say, the glass prints peaked my curiosity. I was given the opportunity to review the glass prints, so let’s walk through the easy process.

Since my family travels a lot, I wanted to capture all the states we had been to this year in one glass print. You have several choices to choose from in the glass prints section.

I chose the Collage Curved Glass Print to display all the pictures that I wanted to from our travels. The glass prints come in three different sizes. The prices run from $29.99 to $54.99. You can save 25% off all photo gifts right now at Walgreens with the code ALLGIFTS thru Saturday, August 27.

You select which size and then you upload your pictures. Walgreens will automatically place the pictures in the correct order to match the collage on the glass print. It really is that easy. Are you ready for the finished product?

The quality was better than I expected. It is a thick sized piece of polished glass and uses the natural lighting in the room to illuminate the picture. The pictures just shine in the glass. Now, each time we sit down in the living room, we can remember the wonderful year 2011 has brought us with our travels.

WIN:

One lucky fan here at One Moms World will win a $25 Walgreens gift card to help you preserve your family memories with a photo gift.

To Enter:

1. Leave a comment below telling us which picture you would like to preserve.
