Back To School With AT&T LG Tone Bluetooth Headsets #Giveaway #ATTSeattle

August 17, 2015 by Momstart 19 Comments

The annual list of back to school items required from my children’s school gets longer every year. For some students, a new addition to the supplies: headphones. With many classrooms featuring computers with interactive learning programs, headphones have increasingly become an essential item that traditionally includes pens, pencils, paper, and three-ring binders. My kids need headphones because we home school on the computer and all of it is interactive.

But if your kids are anything like mine, a simple pair of black ear buds don’t make the cut. They want multiple color options with premium audio sound and with their smaller ears the ear buds never fit correctly. . Thankfully, AT&T is running a Back to School promo now on all LG Tone wireless stereo headsets in pink, orange, silver, gold, red, blue, black and white. From now through Sept. 24, save 10% on all LG Tone Bluetooth headsets.

We are giving a pair away thanks to AT&T.

AirFryer Potato Croquets Recipe & Giveaway

July 24, 2015 by Momstart 50 Comments

We all love the taste of deep fried foods, but not the calories or the mess of cooking with so much oil. The Philips Airfryer was created to solve this dilemma as its unique design lets you fry food with just a tablespoon or two of oil and drains excess fat from food while cooking. It’s super easy to clean up as it is dishwasher safe and makes delicious food. I’ve cooked in mine quite a bit since I received it.

Here is one of our last recipes:

AirFryer Potato Croquets Recipe

FOR THE FILLING

6 Small red potatoes, cubed
1 egg yolk
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 Cayenne pepper

FOR THE BREADING

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup panko

Directions

Boil the potato cubes in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain and mash finely in a large bowl using a potato masher or ricer. Cool completely. Mix in the egg yolk, cheese, flour. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Shape the potato filling into the size of golf balls and set aside.

Preheat the Airfryer to 390°F. Mix the oil and breadcrumbs and stir until the mixture becomes loose and crumbly. Place each potato ball into the flour, then the eggs and then the panko and roll into a cylinder shape. Press coating to croquettes to ensure it adheres. Place half of the croquettes into the cooking basket, cooking each batch for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

Now as part of working with Phillips we have a special giveaway.

Enter to Win:

seasoning set
Misto oil sprayer

An Epic Summer of Reading with Brain Chase Giveaway #BrainChase

May 11, 2015 by Momstart 9 Comments

Oh wow, Zoe had an epic year of learning this last year and her reading levels are off the charts and I’m so proud. I’m also concerned about her keeping up with her reading level because of the summer break. Kids lose a great deal of what they learn over the summer so I’m going to do everything I can to keep their little minds active and BrainChase is actually a fun way to do it. With BrainChase the kids follow along with a group of kids looking for the mysterious Sunstone of Cortes.

The Sunstone of Cortés trophy is completed. Here you can see a video of the Sunstone being made. It is about 12 inches in diameter and has mechanically rotating components that open to reveal the center compartment, where the key to retrieve the $10,000 prize will be hidden. Yes you read the correctly there is a contest for a real prize for these little adventurers. To find it, they must venture to underwater ruins, across snowcapped mountain peaks, and through cavernous dungeon labyrinths. But there’s more to the quest – and treasure – than they first realize.

Starting June 22nd, all adventurers must read for at least 15 minutes, five days per week, or 75 minutes in total each week. You can choose to complete your reading challenge with either myON or Google Books. Either way, Brain Chase will track your minutes and update your dashboard as soon as you hit your weekly requirement.

Brain Chase is now offering their regular pricing package ($199 for the first registration, and then $100 for each sibling), along with a premium pricing package that will include Brain Chase registration plus a Brain Chase-branded adventure backpack, a Brain Chase t-shirt and Sunstone of Cortés patch ($249 for the first registration, and then $149 for each sibling). Later in the summer, these items will be available for a la carte purchase. You’ll be able to find the details on the website soon.

Not only do you get access to Brain Chase but you also get access to partners like Rosetta Stone. All Brain Chase registrants will now have the opportunity to choose to participate in a language module as part of their online academic work. The language module, if selected, will replace the writing module. Students will be required to complete 2 lessons (a total of a little over an hour) each week in order to fulfill their language requirement and unlock the next episode. Students will be allowed to choose from 30+ languages when they register, and will have a week at the beginning of the program in which to switch languages if they prefer. Rosetta Stone will be part of the all-inclusive pass to the best online curriculum providers that comes with Brain Chase registration.

Teachers have an opportunity to make a little extra money. Brain Chase is offering $15 to teachers for each of their students they refer to Brain Chase. Registrants who hear about Brain Chase from a teacher can simply enter that teacher’s name and school name at registration. Kids fight summer brain drain to win a treasure… and teachers win too!

Download flyers to share with students here: http://brainchase.com/for-teachers/

Throughout the month of May, Brain Chase will be hosting a 4-city Library Challenge. In each of the following cities, they will hide a voucher worth $1,000 in a local public library:

o Salt Lake City (May 4)

o Seattle (May 11)

o Boston (May 18)

o Orange County (June 1)

A unique riddle will lead adventurers to the exact location of the voucher and a complimentary Brain Chase registration.

I have one set to giveaway.

Get #PanteneAtSams Good Hair Day Giveaway

April 20, 2015 by Momstart 52 Comments

This is a partnered post.

A good hair day for me starts on a day like today. I get up, I take a bath, wash it and dry it and if I’m really having a good day I’ll curl it. But today blow drying it is good enough. This is a picture of me with a good hair day. Look at it, all blond and blowing in the wind. I LOVE IT!

When my hair looks good I feel good. When I feel good I smile when I smile people notice and I get compliments. So I have more confidence and it all started with a good hair day. I also love to color my hair and because I color it gets really dry on the ends. I want to wash it but I hat the color to fade.

I’m working with SheSpeaks and #PanteneAtSams to see how good a hair day I can get using Pantene Platinum Color Lock shampoo & conditioner.

Pantene Platinum Color Lock shampoo & conditioner……….Color-treating hair leaves it weak and prone to damage, but the antioxidants in this system work from the hair’s core to help protect against fade-causing damage and protect color, all while providing a soft, radiant shine. With Nutri-Lock technology, this system works from the hair’s core to help provide color protection for up to six weeks (shampoo and conditioner system vs. non-conditioning shampoo).

I want you all to know that I’ve been using Pantene for a long time anyway. My kids are using it too but this will be my first time to try the Pantene Platinum Color Lock Shampoo & Conditioner. You can enter to win a $25 GC to Sams so that you can buy your own.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League Giveaway

February 19, 2015 by Momstart 47 Comments

A week ago my kids and I went to the screening of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League Giveaway. They loved it and now pretend to be characters from the land of Bizarro.

In the Bizarro World Pack, Bizarro clones the Justice League and creates his own Bizarro League to help save his planet Htrae from the evil Darkseid. Join Batzarro, the world’s worst detective, angry Bizarra, and the scared Lantern GreenZarro, and more!

The movie starts with Superman being quite embarrassed by his counter part Bizarro so he takes him to a new land and tries to build him a city to take care of. Well even though Bizarro was lonely he made the best of it, only needing help once his citizens were being attacked. Thus the reason to create the Bizarro League. It’s a cute film for DC fans and LEGO fans which my son is both.

After the movie we were able to listen to the cast chat about making the film and how much fun they all have working together. At first the kids were really worried they were going to be bored but then they thought the actors were pretty funny.

You can gain access to all of the great content in the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham DLC Season Pass for $14.99. The DLC Season Pass allows players to access six add-on content packs: Bizarro World, Man of Steel, Dark Knight, Batman 75th, Arrow and soon-to-be released, The Squad Pack! You can also purchase each Season Pass pack separately for $2.99 each.

Now you can enter to win a LEGO set from the DC LEGO world.

I love skiing, I love sunshine, I love brightness, I’ve gone skiing once but it was so much fun. I can’t wait to take the kids even though I know they are going to be be afraid.
