GIVEAWAY: Ultra Lo-Gly Juice Blend Beverages

May 7, 2012 By Kelli

What better way to keep the kids cool this summer than with low glycemic, low calorie juice beverages? Aside from floating in a pool, I can’t think of anything. LOL!

I say in the video that I am not sure what it the Glycemic Index actually means, so I looked it up:

Originally developed as a tool to help diabetics manage blood sugar control, the glycemic index has found its way into the mainstream weight loss market.

A measure of the power of foods or beverages (or specifically the carbohydrate in a food or beverage) to raise blood sugar (glucose) levels after being consumed.

The GI value of a food/beverage is determined by obtaining blood samples from ten healthy persons the morning after a fast and a few times after eating the test food..

Each person conducts one trial of test food and three trials of the reference food. After the blood is analyzed, the incremental areas under the blood glucose curves are calculated. The ratio of the test food area to the reference food areas gives the GI value.

Zachary got to taste all the flavors of Lo-Gly by himself! Click through the to my website to see what he thought!

One Lucky 3 Boys and a Dog Reader will win 8 bottles of Ultra Lo-Gly and a soft ice cooler!

GIVEAWAY: Conagra Foods ReadySetEat #C2S12

May 7, 2012 By Kelli

Finally, my site is back up and right… or at least I think it is. If you notice anything off or different, please drop me an email at Kelli@3boysandadog.com so I can jump right on it. The stupid comment password thing that wasn’t working for anyone is gone. I didn’t put it there, but I did take it away. Thanks for letting me know about it!

OK, on to the FABULOUS Day #5 giveaway of the Countdown to Summer event here at 3 Boys and a Dog! (This is Saturday’s giveaway and Sunday’s will be coming soon)

Conagra has jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon and is celebrating by allowing me to do a food giveaway here at 3 Boys and a Dog. I could do the whole “you have to follow them on Pinterest” thing, but I don’t want Pinterest to be a commercial thing. I pin what I like, what I want, what intrigues me, etc and I want my 2000+ Twitter followers doing that, also.

So please feel free to go follow Conagra’s Pinterest boards and my boards, but that is not a requirement to win this giveaway.

Don’t know Conagra? I didn’t either until I started blogging a million and 1 years ago. Since I am a product review blogger and working with brands is what I do, it is my business to know who is what and what is whom. LOL! Do you know Hunts? What about Healthy Choice, Chef Boyardee, or Orville Redenbacher’s? La Choy, Slim Jim, Crunch -n- Munch… or maybe Marie Callendars? These are just a few of the brands under the ConAgra Foods umbrella! Ahh, so NOW you know. LOL! How would you like to win enough ingredients to make the recipes in Conagra’s ReadySetEat boards?

One Lucky 3 Boys and a Dog reader will win a box of food to make the recipes in ReadySetEat on Pinterest!

REQUIRED: Visit the ReadySetEat site, look around, and then come back and tell me a recipe YOU want to try!

Giveaway: GlobalEyeGlasses.com

May 4, 2012 By Tabitha

I have terrible eye sight! I know there are some out there with worse prescriptions then mine but mine is pretty bad lol. I have tried to wear contacts but unfortunately my eyes dry out when I get into air conditioning. And of course prescription glasses can be crazy expensive for me! With all the coatings and the thin lenses I have to have, I have spent upwards of $600 for 2 pairs of glasses and that was on a buy one get one free promotion! With four kids and limited vision benefits I need to find places where I can cut corners. This is where GlobalEyeGlasses.com comes in.

Global Eyeglasses is an online eyeglasses retailer bringing clear and perfect vision to people around the world. Offering an amazing selection of prescription eyeglasses and Rx Sunglasses for Men, Women and Children at incredible prices.

Our primary focus is to offer you the highest quality Eyeglass frames and Optical lenses at the best possible price. We can offer you such great prices by cutting all the middle men and overhead expenses of a brick and mortar optical store.

Our friendly customer service team is always there to help you buy prescription glasses online, along with fantastic tools such as Virtual Mirror - which will allow you to try those glasses online, and Frame Size Finder which will help you find the correct size eye-frame. We offer 30 days no questions asked money back guarantee on all purchases.

For my review I chose to get a pair of prescription sunglasses. As I mentioned before, my prescription is pretty hefty so I was limited in my choices but I did manage to find a pair that I was happy with. I stretched myself on this because I don’t normally go for large glasses but I think they look good, what do you think?

I was able to navigate their site quite easily and filter out fames based on price, shape, full rim, half rim, rimless, etc. If you know a specific designer you can also filter it that way. Once you’ve chosen a few frames that you think you might like you can use their Virtual Mirror to “try” them on by uploading a picture of yourself, this is one of my favorite features. Another nice thing is when it comes to sunglasses you aren’t just limited to prescription, you can also buy non-prescription, so if your vision is 20/20 you don’t have to feel left out Once you pick your frames you have options, such as thinner lenses, gradiant or full tint, plus you can choose the color of your tint. Really your choices are endless and very reasonably priced. Once I got the email that my order had shipped, it was mere days before my glasses were in my hands, safely packaged for transport. All glasses come with free single vision lenses, free anti-scratch coating, free case and microfibre cleaning cloth, a 30 day Money back guarantee and a 12 month guarantee.

With frame prices currently ranging from $14 to $49 you can’t go wrong. This is definitely the way to buy cheap eyeglasses, I have been telling all of my friends! Their customer service people I dealt with were amazing, I didn’t have a problem with my order but they did help me to easily find which sunglasses would work for me. I am very happy with my choice and I will be keeping their page bookmarked for when I need new glasses again!

Win it!

One lucky 3 Boys and A Dog reader is going to win $50 to spend on new prescription glasses from GlobalEyeGlasses.com!

REQUIRED COMMENT: Head on over to GlobalEyeGlasses.com, have a look around and tell me which pair of frames you would choose if you won.

GIVEAWAY: Classic Battleship Movie Edition #C2S12

May 4, 2012 By Kelli

I don’t know about where you live, but down here in Summer Alabama, it pretty much rains every single day in the Summer time! Pretty much every afternoon, we get nasty afternoon showers that force the hot, tired, filthy kids back into the house. We try to keep them entertained by heading to indoor places, firing up one of the gaming systems, pulling one of the many games out of our game closet, or popping a movie on the television.

On May 18, the epic action of the classic naval combat game will unfold in theatres nationwide with the release of Universal Pictures’ “Battleship,”starring Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker, Liam Neeson and recording superstar, Rihanna. Of course, the live action doesn’t end with the film. Young naval commanders can go head-to-head with the Alien fleet in Hasbro’s Classic Battleship Movie Edition game. Players choose to command either the Navy or Alien fleet and can unleash brand new super weapon cards to destroy their opponent with attacks like those from the big screen! The game comes in a convenient carrying case, making it easy to wage your own battles at home or on the go.

Mom Says: OH. MY. Goodness! I mean, it is Battleship, but better. LOL! However, we obviously haven’t seen the movie yet so the Alien Fleet kind of threw us off! We didn’t know what to call the ships and had to keep looking at the instruction booklet to say things like, “You sank my Heavy Ordnance Craft!” LOL! We really enjoyed it and with at least 4 different ways of playing, it will keep us entertained for quite some time.

One lucky 3 Boys and a Dog reader will win the own Classic Battleship Movie Edition to help them bust boredom this Summer!

REQUIRED COMMENT: Tell me about your memories of playing Battleship – when I was little, my brother and I would play all the time. Then, one year he got the Electronic Battleship and we were amazed that it could talk! Seriously, it was so much fun!

Giveaway: The Potty Target

May 3, 2012 By Tabitha

“Give your boys something to aim for!”

There are four boys in my house. Currently only two of them use the toilet, one is on the verge of being potty trained and the last is obviously no where near potty training as he is only six months old. I guess I am one of the lucky moms out there that doesn’t have to clean up the messes my boys make….yet! I have a feeling once my two year old is trained he’ll be a disaster in the bathroom just like he is in all the other rooms.

So although the Potty Target is intended to help decrease, if not completely eliminate the messes that boys make in the bathroom, I was hoping to use them to entice my two year old to even USE the potty. I am sad to report that although he likes the idea of the stickers on the potty and he made a hilarious attempt to stand and pee, something is still preventing him from using the toilet. I will prevail though, soon, I hope.

The concept of the Potty Target was the idea of Stacey Dragan and Doug Kempel, parents to two little boys who had very little desire to aim for the big white toilet bowl. So in their frustration they decided to give them something to aim for, and so the Potty Target was born in 2009. Made with a water proof adhesive these cute little stickers are not only useful but great conversation pieces as well. I have had quite a few people mention them. In fact my sister in law asked me if I knew there was a sticker in my toilet, because she know my little guy so well and assumed he had put a sticker in my toilet for fun!

Extremely easy to install, it’s a simple matter of draining your toilet bowl, washing and drying the install location, then applying the sticker. It’s just that simple. I had mine installed in less then 5 minutes! And if installed properly they should last up to year, that’s pretty impressive for a sticker! They come in 6 different package options and you get 12 stickers for $9.99. If you only have one toilet that’s approximately 12 years of a cleaner bathroom! Sign. Me. Up. You can purchase yours here.

Win it!

Five of our very lucky 3 Boys and a Dog readers are going to win a set of 12 Potty Targets!
