GIVEAWAY: Set of 3 Puzzle Books #C2S12

May 8, 2012 By Kelli 105 Comments

I love puzzles, not sure what it is about them but I almost always have puzzles going somewhere. It could be a real puzzle spread out on the kitchen table or the folding card table… or is could be a Sudoku or Logic puzzle going on my Kindle or XYBoard. OR it could be a book of Sudoku, Logic, Fill-It Ins, or Word Find Puzzles! They keep my brain active. LOL!

Seriously, when I am cooking supper I usually work a puzzle or two, when I am sitting at the Park with the boys, when I am out at the Pool, etc. I think that Puzzle Books are great for keeping the kids’ minds active during the summer months, what about you?

When Idiots Guides asked if I was interested in reviewing some of their newest puzzles, there was no way I was turning them down!

One Lucky 3 Boys and a Dog Reader will win their very own set of puzzle books!

The set includes:

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!

REQUIRED COMMENT: Visit the Lo-Gly site, look around, then come back and tell me what you liked or learned!

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!

BONUS #1: Follow @ReadySetEat and @momof3boys3702 on Twitter and RT this contest. The easiest way to retweet is to simply click the green ReTweet on the top right of this post. YOU MAY TWEET ONCE DAILY

GIVEAWAY: Create Your BLT Experience w/ Lay's! #C2S12

May 2, 2012 By Kelli

Have you seen them yet? The new flavors that Frito-Lay is rolling out? I have seen a few new things around town, remember this picture from a local discount store?

GIVEAWAY: Create Your BLT Experience w/ Lay's! #C2S12

There are changes in the snacking world and I get to be a part of them! Tee hee, ok not really – but I get to tell you about them. Ok, I get to tell you about one of them and just in time for my countdown to summer 2012! We were sent 4 bags to test out and one bag was completely gone before I ever got to take the picture!

So, my boys are typical kids and love ketchup and spaghetti and pizza and everything else made with tomatoes, but swear they don’t like tomatoes. LOL! Needless to say, I did not tell them what BLT meant until after they tried the new chips. They loved them, of course!

Nothing says summertime like unwinding with a delicious BLT! Let Frito-Lay help you kick-back and relax by creating your own BLT experience with Lay’s Classic BLT-flavored chips and other BLT-making supplies!

Have you seen these new chips (and the many other Frito-Lay brand chips) in your local stores? Keep your eyes peeled, there are lots out there!

One lucky 3 Boys and a Dog Reader will win their very own BLT Experience (via random number generator)!

Here’s what you could win: a few bags of Lay’s BLT, an apron, a fun bacon platter and a $25 gift card to Target for BLT-making supplies! This is over a 50 dollar value! Fun, right?

REQUIRED Comment: Visit Frito-Lay and look around. Come back and tell me something you liked, want, or learned!
