Let’s face it….children are messy. They spill almost everything, so I was glad to be able to test out a Munchie Mug Snack Cup, which was greatly needed around this household. I felt like the depths of my sofa were becoming like the murky depths of the ocean, except rather than real fish, a school of goldfish crackers lived there. So if you’re kids are like mine-messy, and you’re running your vacuum not once, but up to 3 or 4 times a day sucking up crumbs and cheerios and other bits of snacks that your children have managed to spill about the house or your tired of hearing a crunch crunch sound every time you step foot in the backseat of your minivan, you will truly appreciate Munchie Mug snack cups.


Munchie Mug is a snack container, great for at home or on the go, thoughtfully designed for kids that spill things. Made from #5 Polyproplene recyclable plastic, as well as being BPA and Phthalate free, it’s been made with the safety of your child and the environment in mind. Basically, a Munchie Mug is a plastic container that holds up to 10oz of dry snacks, but what makes Munchie Mugs stand out from other snack cups or bowls, is its patented spill-resistant lid. The lid on the Munchie Mug is made from cloth that is designed to let little hands in to retrieve a snack. Once they slip in their hand, pull out what they want, the opening on the cloth lid shuts and keeps the contents from spilling out, even when the container is dropped or turned on its side. It also contains an additional stay fresh lid for when the Munchie mug is not in use. The aquatic/ocean theme is pretty cute too!

So if you are tired of swimming in a sea of goldfish crackers, you’ll definitely want to give your little one a Munchie Mug, and help make your life a bit more mess free…and what mommy doesn’t appreciate that?

And guess what 2 lucky winners are going to win a Munchie Mug right here on Cent$ible Mommy, courtesy of Munchie Mugs.

Do you love whimsical art for children? Yes, then you will definitely want to check out the adorable children’s art by artist Carla Daly. My boys were fortunate enough to receive the latest of Carla Daly's creations, which my boys happen to think is the greatest, the Boys’ Alphabet Height Chart .


Adorned with the alphabet, height measurements, and some of the cutest critters representing each letter of the alphabet, the Alphabet Height Chart is sure to be your children's favorite too. I cannot think of a more entertaining way to keep track of your child’s growth, can you? My 4 year old son gets a kick out of being measured alongside some rather amusing animals and will shout out, “ Hey, I am right next to the bee and ...!”

The Alphabet Height Charts (don’t worry Carla has an equally adorable Alphabet Height Chart for girls too) are printed on 280gsm paper, and then laminated, so it is easy to wipe clean. There is also Velcro sticky pads included along with instructions, so it is easy to stick up and easy to remove from your walls.



Okay, so you want to add some cuteness to your little boy or girl’s room and have fun keeping track of their growth with some amazing art by Carla Daly. Guess what? We are giving away an Alphabet Height Chart (either boy's or girl's-winner's choice) here on Centsible Mommy courtesy of artist Carla Daly!

All you have to do to enter the giveaway is click over to Carla’s website and check out her cute creations and then come back here and tell me which one really caught your eye (excluding the Alphabet Height Charts, of course)! That’s all!

Giveaway Winner-#12- Hollie

Okay, I did not think my little boy’s feet could get any cuter, but when I slipped on this pair of adorable dog moccasins by Nowali, they did! With children’s moccasins, non-skid socks, and tights in an array of super cute designs/colors and sizes, as well as moccasins and socks in adult sizes, Nowali specializes in moccasins and socks for every member of your family!

This unique combination of sock and shoe is made with leather soles, machine washable leather I might add, and because the non-slip leather sole is soft and flexible make for some rather comfortable moccasins and allow little arches to develop naturally. The elastic at the ankles also help them stay put on your little one’s feet.

What pair of moccasins would you like to see your little one stomping around in? Or maybe you would like a pair for yourself. That’s right, you can win a pair of moccasins for yourself or your little one here on Centsible Mommy courtesy of Nowali.

This next giveaway is especially for my readers who are savvy shoppers, utilizing coupons and lists.

I recently came across a very innovative product that has really simplified my shopping experience, especially grocery shopping, called List Caddy. The List Caddy, which serves a sort of a shopping assistant, comes in especially handy as it clips to your shopping cart and holds your shopping list, coupons, notes, a pen or a pencil and keeps your hands free while shopping.

The List Caddy is also really useful because it keeps your list and coupons in plain sight so you can just quickly glance down at it and see what’s on your list as your pushing your cart through the store. Before I used the List Caddy, I used to have to carry my coupons or list in my hands, as the front of the cart had my baby in it, and there was no place else to put them. I would then have to stop and shuffle through my pile, unfold my list, so on and on.

The List Caddy has certainly solved that problem for me, making my task of using a list and coupons while shopping easier for me. List Caddy also has a magnet on the back so when it's not in use at the store, it can stick to your refrigerator and hold your shopping list while you are updating it.

Okay, so now you’re thinking you’d like a List Caddy to assist you on your next shopping trip, guess what? 6 of my readers are going to win a List Caddy in their choice of color courtesy of the folks at List Caddy!

How to enter:

Click over to List Caddy and check out their "idea scrapbook" for other uses for the list caddy and then come back here and tell me how you would utilize it! That's it! 6 winners will be randomly drawn on October 26th. The deadline for entry is October 25th at 11 PM CT. Winners will have 72 hours to claim prizes, or alternate winners will be drawn.

Whether or not your child plays a mean xylophone , if you’re a parent who likes stylish and hip clothes for your tot, you’ll definitely want to check out Baby Rock Apparel.

Baby Rock Apparel carries “hip children's wear with an edge." With cute & comfortable tees and one-pieces (sizes 0-8t ) for both boys and girls with cute catch phrases like “What Happens in Preschool Stays in Preschool" , "Really...I’m with the band" or “Drama Queen” your little one is sure to set the style scene at his daycare or preschool.

Don’t know what Tamagotchi Connection V5 by Bandai is? Don’t worry up until a few weeks ago, I did not either; or maybe, your children have had all the other versions already, but haven’t tried out of the new and improved Tamagotchi Connection V5.

Here’s some info about the new and improved Tamagotchi V5:

“Tamagotchi® Connection® V5 – The world’s first and top-selling "virtual pet" toy brand debuts a dynamic new Tamagotchi like never before: Tamagotchi Connection Familitchi with new celebrity characters. Taking the Tamagotchi experience to new heights, Familitchi features more families for more fun! Familitchi lets kids raise multiple Tamagotchi characters at the same time in one egg-shaped toy. How kids care for their Tamagotchi family and raise siblings with differing personalities, tastes and hobbies will determine whether the clan will grow up as a celebrity, athlete, model, paparazzi or even a royal family. Once a Tamagotchi character reaches adulthood, it can then connect with a compatible friend and create successive generations to care for so the fun never ends.

Tamagotchi Connection V5 continues to offer all the fan favorites that have made it the consistently top-selling and award-winning toy that it is today. These include the popular infrared technology, Gotchi Points, shopping and the new Tama & Earth Expo Web site. Kids can travel to different parts of the world including the Japanese, North American, European and Asia/Oceana Pavilions. Kids will enjoy the Ecology Pavilion where they can learn about ways to save the planet and the Gotchi Amusement Park where they can play games and have fun. While using Gotchi Points and special passwords, kids can go online to shop, grab a bite to eat, get a new job and buy some cool clothes. New games and other activities are also available online for even more fun, codes and collectible souvenirs.”

I was recently sent a Tamagotchi Connection V5 for my kids and I to try out and I have to tell you this is one fun toy! My kids are actually too young for it as they are ages 1 and 4, so I was the one who ended up playing with it the most; and as embarrassing as this sounds I had a blast with the Tamagotchi Connection V5 and could hardly put it down.

For those of you who know nothing about Tamagotchi, as I did not, Tamagotchi Connection V5 is an electronic gaming device that is actually small enough to carry on a key chain, a zipper pull on a backpack or even a belt loop. Although it looks small, its contents are anything but. Once you power it up, you will be amazed at the virtual “world” you will find inside.

Tamagotchi V5 allows your children to raise a “virtual pet” family of Tamas, who live in a tiny virtual world that you help control. The Tama family, that you assign a family name, starts as eggs and then some time later they hatch into little bitty Tama characters, that have to have to be fed, cleaned up after, played with, entertained, helped to meet new friends and form relationships, given money to shop, and so much more. Your Tama pets alert you with sounds when they are hungry or need something. You can imagine my surprise when I awoke one morning to find that they had matured! Oh boy, I was a proud Tama’s Mama! The Tamas can grow up to be athletes, models, paparazzi, or even royalty depending on how your kids raise them!

For more information about Bandai’s Tamagotchi Connection V5, visit http://www.tamagotchi.com/ to find more information about the Tamagotchi Connection V5, meet the cast of Tama characters, download the instructions, connect with others who play Tamagotchi V5 or for fun downloads.

Note: This game is recommended for ages 8 and up, although I can see some slightly younger children who are able to play video games handling this toy well also.


Savings: Use this coupon get two Bandai toys for the price of one! You can get a cool PLUSH when you buy any Tamagotchi Connection V5 with this downloadable coupon here.


So you think your child would love to take care of a family of “virtual pets” Tama characters with their very own Tamagotchi Connection V5? Guess what, you can enter to win a Tamagotchi Connection V5 right here on Centsible Mommy, courtesy of Bandai & Tamagotchi!

This is how you enter: Click over to the Tamagotchi website and check out the V5 products and then come back here and tell me what you think your child would like about Tamagotchi V5?

One winner will be randomly chosen to receive a Tamagotchi Connection V5. The lucky winner will be randomly drawn on October 30th! The deadline for entry is October 29th at 11:59 PM CT. Winner will have 72 hours from the time he/she is notified to claim his/her prize. In the event I do not hear back from a winner within 72 hours, an alternate winner will be drawn in their place.

Okay, so I know most of us in the United States are no longer blessed with beach weather, but sun safety is important all year long and I thought this next giveaway would be a great way to remind folks of that.

Therefore, Sun Protection Zone has put together a great prize package for one of my readers (keep reading to find out more about the prize package). Anyone who knows me, and my pasty white just seen a ghost kind of skin er, uhm, I mean my beautiful ivory skin, knows that I can burn on a 65 degree day if the elements are right and if I am outside for more than an hour. Therefore, I have to use sunscreen pretty much all year long (3 out of 4 seasons). Sun Protection Zone has a great All Day SPF called Sea & Ski , made for all year sun protection. It's a foam so it's easy to apply and because it's a foam, it's super fun for the kids to put on as well or maybe my kids are easily amused!

Sun Protection Zone also carries everything else you need to keep safe from the damaging rays of the sun such as long and short sleeve rash guards, hats, for both children and adults as well as sunglasses, and children’s suits and other children’s sun accessories.

My oldest son was sent a long sleeve suit, some Sea & Ski sun block, and some Solar Safe wrists bands to try out. I think my favorite product that he received by far has to be the Solar Safe Wrist bands, which are every mother’s best defense against the sun since it tells you how long is too long for your children to exposed to the sun, as well as when to reapply their sunscreen—so no more guessing. Not too mention he looks cut in the suit! Now he has been talking about going to the beach despite the cooler weather! Poor little guy has been rearing to go to the beach and asking me quite a bit when its going to be summer, since he tried on his suit. He doesn't understand it's going to be awhile!


The Giveaway Prize Package
The prize package includes a long sleeve suit, sunglasses, hat, sunblock, and wristbands. If you are fortunate enough to be in the midst of beach weather (I am extremely jealous), pick the sizes your child wears now. For those of you like me with in the midst of fall with leaves and a cool breeze around you with winter fast approaching, pick the sizes you think your child would need this coming summer.


How do can you win? Simply click over to Sun Protection Zone, and then come back and leave a comment and tell me which colors and patterns you would like to see on their products in the future! That's it. One lucky winner will be randomly drawn on October 29th! The deadline for entry is October 28th at 11:59 PM CT. Winner will have 72 hours from the time he/she is notified to claim his/her prize. In the event I do not hear back from a winner within 72 hours, an alternate winner will be drawn in their place.
