Making It A Summer To Remember With Walmart and Coca-Cola

by 6 Comments

Every year when the kids get out of school for summer break, I try to think of things we can do throughout their vacation to make things not only fun, but rememberable too! For me, I can remember my mom taking me on little vacations that meant the world to me. Now that I am a mom, I try to do things with my kids that will leave lasting memories in their minds too!

(Summer vacation in San Diego last year with my kids)

For those that like to snap lots of photos like me, Coca-Cola and Walmart are offering 28 FREE 4×6 photo prints at Walmart’s Photo Center with any Coca-Cola 28 pack purchase at the store. In addition to the FREE photos, you can also unlock some exclusive rewards when you enter the special code on the pack at MCR.com/Walmart.

I am a big fan of Pinterest. Every day I am finding new things to pin and re-pin that I wish I could have, see, eat or even use. Since I love creating boards with my finds, I have created a Pinterest board called #SummertoRemember – Outdoor Summer Fun Wish List that includes different products that I wish I had that would make summer for fun for my family.

Here is a sneak preview on just a few items on my wishlist that you can find:

All the products that I have pinned on my #SummertoRemember Pinterest board can be found at Walmart! If you are a fan of Coca-Cola, Walmart happens to be the only store that you can purchase the exclusive summer-themed Coca-Cola 28 pack.

So remember, while you are having fun this summer be sure to….

Once you purchase your specially marked 28-pack of Coca-Cola at local Walmart, look for your code and visit: mycokerewards.com/summer. Once you are there, be sure to enter the your special code to redeem your FREE  4×6 photo prints as well as other exclusive offers!

I also encourage those on Facebook to “Like” Walmart on Facebook for more even more summer fun ideas.

If Only I Could Go To Brandcation Too!

by 14 Comments

Just a couple days ago I announced that I was making my way to New York in August for BlogHer’12. This is a huge trip for me since I will be traveling all the way across the United States and will be on my own. I have went on a few blogger events in the past couple years but usually everything is all planned for me. This time I am being a big girl and going to have to figure out how to make it through the Big Apple on my own.

When Trisha at MomDot announced the Brandcation trip, I didn’t even think of being able to go. I had only just thought in my head “I wish” and moved on to other thoughts because bringing up my wants to the hubby to go on another trip without him and the kids was something I wasn’t really ready to do. Lucky me, the tickets for the Brandcation trip went FAST and I was glad. If there were no tickets, I wouldn’t have to think about finding a way to go.

I will admit I kept thinking of this beautiful log cabin and how I wish I could go….

Then Trisha announces there is a ticket left and a lucky blogger was going to get it. I then begin to think I needed to enter the contest.  I decided to procrastinate and was hoping the contest would end before I had a chance to enter so I didn’t have to think about it. That didn’t work so well!

Today I seen a post on Tricia’s Facebook page today that tonight is the deadline to put up a post on why I would want to attend. The pressure has been on today because I really want to go, but there are so many different reasons why. Instead of listing them all, I thought I would list the reasons that are on the top of my list!

  • My first reason is I LOVE the MomDot community. I have been a member for almost 2 years and have over 4K posts on the forum under my belt. There are so many ladies from this community I would like to meet in person,  build new friendships and of course take fun pictures with to share on Facebook!
  • I want to LEARN  from the other fellow Brandcation members. I just love blogger events and have learned so much valuable information from all the wonderful conversations that happen between bloggers. Some of the people I consider my good friends are those that I have met on trips in the past.
  • I want to go to Dollywood. I remember seeing Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson as a child at my first concert and have been a fan of both of them ever since. There also has been jokes throughout my childhood that Dolly is my aunt (don’t ask why) so I would love to be able to say I have been there.
  • Don’t let me forget that cabin. I have always wanted to stay at a log cabin, but have never got the chance. This is definitely the Dream Log Cabin for sure. What makes it more exiting is that this log cabin will be filled with a ton of wonderful ladies that is going to result in one big slumber party!

There are of course many other reasons that I could mention, like I would love to be in their group photo like this one:

Brandcation is something I really would love to participate in. If I don’t get this chance, I will be looking forward to more opportunities in the future. For those that are sponsoring this event, thanks for the opportunity to win!

Green Mountain Promo Code For My Keurig Fans

by 7 Comments

For over the past year my Keurig Brewer has been put to use (almost daily) from brewing us hot cups of coffee and hot chocolate to iced coffees and tea. When you have a Keurig Brewing System, you have a TON of beverage options at your fingertips.

I am now going on year two as a K-Cup® Ambassador for Keurig® Brewers and the Green Mountain Coffee® family of brands. This is the one product that I probably recommend the most offline to my friends, family and others I meet because I honestly LOVE it and proud to be one of their Ambassadors.

Yesterday I received a variety of the Green Mountain K-Cups to fill up my handy K-Cup Carousel. I also received one of the new Keurig® travel mugs that have been designed with the Contigo AUTOSEAL™ Technology that I can’t wait to put to use. For those that want one too,  this handy spill-proof travel cup will be available to the public in September.

Want to stock up on your Green Moutain K-Cups?  Starting tomorrow (July 13), you can use the promo code LUCKY1-8149 to save 10% off on your Green Mountain purchase.  To see all the Green Mountain products, visit: https://www.greenmountaincoffee.com
