Winner is #91 Melissa R~ Congratulations!
Father's Day is fast approaching!
In honor of Dad's special day,
The Greener Good will be giving away a
handmade picture frame made out of recycled bicycle parts (a $36 value) to one lucky winner per day during the week leading up to Father's Day. To be entered to win, post a photo of yourself with your dad on The Greener Good's
Facebook page . I think any dad would love this rugged and manly picture frame!
There will also be coupon downloads available on The Greener Good's Facebook page for a FREE
solid shampoo bar (while supplies last) and recycled
bicycle chain bottle opener key chains to be given away sporadically. I love the idea of the shampoo bar since it can be used from head to toe and there will be no spills like traditional bottled products. Great for travel, camping or even everyday at-home use.
My friends at The Greener Good have also offered a one lucky Momfiles reader the chance to win a pair of
Tuba Herringbone Men's sneakers valued at $60! They are made from natural fiber, recycled plastic and other renewable resources and come in 3 colors (black, charcoal and rock grey). They come in sizes 9-12 including half sizes! I think they are very stylish and rather cool. They are a cross between preppy and sporty.
*Mandatory: To enter just let us know what
Greener Good item do you think would make a great Father's Day gift?

Once the star is filled you screw on the light-up cap and turn it onto the base (requires 3 AAA batteries not included). Now you just flip the switch and watch the Orbeez light up and change colors. It is such a cute item and I think any girl would like this. Although my daughters are teenagers this still appeals to them. Come to think of it, I am 37 and I want one for my desk!
Orbeez items can be purchased at Amazon.com, Kmart, Walmart, Target and ToysRUs (online and in stores for some major retailers)
Father's Day is fast approaching!
I spent the morning baking up these lovely little mini-loaves of blueberry crumb cake for the girls' teachers. By the way, the cake tastes even better the next day! I wrapped each cake (once cooled) in plastic wrap before putting them in the cello-bags. Brie chose the color and although it does not match the tags she did not seem to mind. Actually the whole family thinks it looks cute this way. The girls wrote their own personal message in the cards.
I actually made this cake for us to test out before I go nuts baking a ton of cakes that were not very good. I will separate the batter into individual mini pans for the teachers. I think they will love it. My family really enjoyed it and I really liked the fact that the only ingredients I had to purchase was the blueberries and butter. I had everything else in my pantry/fridge. I tell you what, that Ree Drummond from The Pioneer Woman certainly knows her stuff!
You can use them for a variety of purposes. Some great ideas are: handing one to your favorite drive-thru worker saying thanks for always making my coffee just right~Maybe putting one in your child's agenda book for the teacher just to say thanks for all she/he does each day for your child~ Your grocery bagger would feel extra special getting one of these cards~ The possibilities are endless! I think I will use these for some surprise muffins I plan to make for my kids' teachers just as a random thing. You never need an occasion to make some one's day! Imagine the impact a tiny card can make on someone.
Today we celebrated Little William's 3rd birthday! He had a blast and was very lucky that I got to host a Houseparty.com party courtesy of Digiorno Pizza on his special day. The party was in a sports theme and Digiorno provided coupons for the pizzas and also serving items including plates, a pizza cutter, spatula etc.. and a fun basketball game complete with "bam-bams" and scorecards. Our guests all had such fun eating yummy pizza with boneless Wyngz and playing some competitive basketball.
We had 4 varieties of Digiorno pizza including the traditional Four Cheese, Pepperoni, Supreme, and my favorite mushroom, spinach and garlic. Oh they were delicious!
The Boneless Wyngz were the big hit with all the guests. I was skeptical at first thinking they would be more like chicken nuggets but they were in fact the real deal. We had honey barbecue and Buffalo sauces to toss the chicken in. I mixed both sauces and the result was so good!
William was so thrilled about having his birthday cake that he started to sing the Happy Birthday song before the rest of us!
He got some fun gifts!
His grandma bought him a Pillow Pet frog. He doesn't get the concept of it as yet but he sure loves standing on it!
Aww a new magnetic doodler. No mess drawing and writing is good for me!
His favorite gift was his new fishing pole from daddy. He spent hours this afternoon out in the back yard fishing and caught a few crappie and a small bass!
This little boy had a blast with the balloons and he has worn himself out from the day's activities. He should sleep quite well tonight....I know his momma and daddy will :)
