Back to School with the Learning Care Group (Target Gift Card Giveaways!!!)

· by · Leave a Comment

This week I purchased all of the school supplies my kiddos will need for the upcoming school year. I can’t believe it, but it’s already back-to-school time for many of us all over the country!
And as you start to prepare (and start to figure out how to work in all the extra purchases into your budget), I want to encourage you to come hang out with me on Twitter this Thursday, July 28th, from 1-2pm EST. I’m going to be chatting with the Learning Care Group (the folks behind several incredible early education groups such as La Petite Academy), and we’ll be sharing some tips for starting off the school year right and bringing a smile to your child’s face as they transition from one season to the next (remember: transitions can be tough for little ones, so a little prep work is key!).
We’re also going to be sharing why LCG schools are a great place to help your child thrive, too! Check out these statistics from La Petite Academy and see for yourself how little minds are growing!

One other important thing: we are going to be giving away $25 Target gift cards every 10 minutes during the party, which will be so great to have as you work through you supply list!
Want to party with us? Great! All you need to do is be on Twitter starting at 1pm EST and be sure to follow @tiffanyblogs and @LaPetiteAcademy. We’ll be using the hashtag #Back2SchoolSmiles. See you there! 

Huggies Slip-On Diapers for Babies On the Move! (Target Gift Card Giveaway!)

· by · 225 Comments

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Huggies, but all my opinions are my own. #HuggiesSlipOn #pmedia http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO

When people see how our 14 month old daughter, Layah, gets around, they are usually quite amazed. Frequent comments we hear include the following:

  • “Um…when did she start walking?”
  • “Do you know your little one can RUN???”
  • “You must have your hands full with that little firecracker!”
  • “Look at her go!!!”

You see, Layah started rolling over at 2 months; crawling at 5 months; walking at 9 months; running at 11 months. Yes, indeed. We certainly DO have our hands full! She’s a little free spirit, and she’s in a terrible hurry to have new adventures and to engage in all manner of wild rumpus and mischief.

And that’s why we need diapers that can move and groove right along with our little wild child! This summer Layah has been wearing those fabulous Huggies Little Swimmers diapers that we recently tried for the first time. We liked them so much that I thought we should also try out the Huggies Slip On diapers. They are similar in some ways to the Little Swimmers in that they have those great stretch sides, and that they are easy to take on and off (like a pair of shorts). Layah likes to do anything and everything like her big sister, so stepping into a diaper is a BIG DEAL to her! 🙂 Of course, there are tabs so you can change this diaper in a more “traditional” way (very key for certain diaper changes…no need to elaborate on that one!).

Over the weekend we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. Sure, we wanted to see all the fish. But even more than that, we wanted to play in the water features around the park! While Tim was getting our oldest ready for our outing, I was in charge of getting Layah dressed. Here she is avoiding my request to come to me. “What’s that mom? Did you say, ‘climb the stairs as fast as I can?’ No problem!”

Once I caught up to her and chased her around her room a few times (not for fun, but because I really couldn’t catch her!), we got ready to go play in the water. While the Slip-On “cousin” (the Little Swimmers diaper) was having all the fun in the water, her Huggies waited patiently in the diaper bag for their turn to shine.

After all the fun in the water, Layah was ready to eat. She was also ready to get out of her swimsuit. Since we were having an outdoor picnic before going into the Aquarium, we didn’t have a nice, soft spot for changing her diaper. Not a problem, since she could just slip right into her Huggies! With a fresh diaper and some yummy food, little Layah was on cloud nine!

 We spent the next hour or so inside, looking at the amazing freshwater creatures on display. Layah was constantly on the move, climbing in and out of her stroller, and running around looking at the various tanks. I was never worried that we might have an accident, as the leak protection on the Huggies Slip-On diapers is just excellent, even with all that moving around!

Attention all smartphone owners! I have a fantabulous giveaway just for you!!!

My friends over at Babyzoehealth.com have a super awesome (and super FREE!!!!) app, and they are working hard to get the word out to folks about it. It’s called Baby Zoe, and it provides a way for you to keep track of so many different things that are related to the health and wellness of your child. You can keep track of your child’s eating and sleeping habits (SO nice for parents of babies), growth, medications, emergency contacts and other helpful information. You can also share this information with babysitters, healthcare providers, even curious grandparents, all with the touch of a button.

And you did hear the part about it being FREE, right?!

But here’s what’s even better than free: getting a gift card for downloading the app. And for one of my readers, that’s about to happen!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader is going to win a $50 Target gift card! Downloading the app only takes a second, and it is mandatory (we will check!). Here’s the Itunes link, and here’s the Google Play link.
