Box Tops for Education with Pillsbury and Totinos Giveaway

**This contest is closed-- Winner is Meet the Browns**


The generous folks at My Blog Spark recently sent me a "Top This" prize pack that included a coupon for one box of Toaster Strudel and one box of Totino´s Pizza Rolls, a Box Tops For Education certificate worth 10 bonus Box Tops as well as some great school supplies just in time for back-to-school. If you have been a Momfiles reader for a while then you know what a HUGE fan I am of Box Tops for Education. What a simple way to give to your kids school without putting a dent in your wallet! The prize pack also gave me an additional amount of Box Tops to clip and send into the school. You can even enter here for a chance at winning 5000 Bonus Box Tops for your school!



With back-to-school quickly approaching, I am starting to brainstorm some ideas for breakfast, lunch and after-school snacks. With the girls being in 2 different schools this year there is very little time to actually cook each day. Toaster Strudel is a great option for a quick breakfast in the morning. I won't lie, I have even stolen one on occasion from the kids to have with my coffee on the go! We are big fans of the Cream Cheese Danish variety. You can't go wrong with the hot, yummy flaky layers of pastry and the do-it-yourself icing!


A great little after-school snack or an evening snack would be Totino's Pizza Rolls. I remember having these when I was a teenager after school. These are great because the kids (or husband) can heat them up themselves.


Now for the fun part: one lucky reader will have a chance to win a "Top This" prize pack! Just leave a comment telling us what some of your favorite things about the first day of school is. Please be original. Saying "I want to win" or "pick me" disqualifies your entry.

Oh how I love a good deal!

Look what I found today at one of my favorite shopping spots. This cute necklace was originally $18. I picked it our for my older daughter since it has all of her favorite colors in it.

Lucky for Chardie she has a smart mom who never pays full price. Check out the price tag!



That's right....90% off baby!! I just love clearance shopping. I get so excited over finding steal like this. We bought a few other necklaces and earrings for back to school and spent under $20! Dwayne will give us a thumbs on this one since y'all know how much he loves holding on to his money!

House projects suck

Well I was hoping to have something nice to post but unfortunately it's not going to work out that way. We were planning to have a very relaxing and uncomplicated weekend. The biggest task we planned was to replace the threshold of our front door. When Dwayne removed the old one we found that we had rotten wood in a variety of places. This has made a 30 minute project turn into an all day event and will be continued tomorrow. I have been into the hardware store (I dare not say the name before I get reprimanded by the husband) three times today already. Looks like some pain relief meds will be in order for us tonight. This is one of those days I wished I lived in a fully maintained apartment! I chose not to post pictures cause it's just too ugly to show anyone. Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!
