Blog Giveway: La-La-La Leash

It's time for a BLOG GIVEAWAY!!!!  Get excited.

So if you're friends with me on facebook, you know that I ended up with two backpack harnesses last week after leaving Lukas' black backpack at my parent's house and fearing a trip to the airport with Lukas without it.  Mr. Cob sprung to action to buy me a replacement, but our only option was the Eddie Bauer Frog Backpack Harness.

Ain't he cute?!?

Well, Lukas wasn't a fan of Mr. Frog and refused to wear him.  So froggie enjoyed the scenic view to Boston and back on my arm instead of Lukas' back and I carried Lukas in my other arm.  It was a great arm workout.

So here's where you come in: we do not need to own TWO backpack harnesses.  I mean, really.  So I'm giving the frog backpack away to one lucky winner!

To enter, simply leave a comment!  Added bonus if you tell me where you'd like to travel with your kiddo and the froggie harness!  The giveaway will end at midnight on Friday, September 7, EST, so be sure to enter before then, at which point I'll select a winner at random!

Note for all you leash hating parents: the backpack can be used sans leash as just a cute backpack!

Book Winner

I used Random.org to pick the winner of the Deceptively Delicious blog contest and the winner is....

#1 - Brother B - congrats!  And here was his tip for all to see:

I want this book so i am leaving a comment.



I love everything green - which is weird because I despised vegetables as a child, a teen, and really a young adult. But now as the Black Eyed Peas say " I - just can't get enough".


New Favorite snack - kids and husbands will love better than potato chips- "homemade Kale Chips"


Buy a head of kale and take off stem


wash - it and dry it


massage with sunflower or olive oil


then top with sea salt (I also add ground macadamian nuts or other nut of your choice).


put in oven on baking sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, until greens are crispy but not blackened.


In- Joy!

Giveaway - Eat More Veggies!

In light of my recent increase in vegetable inspired cooking and today's Toddler Tips Tuesday, I'm giving away a copy of Deceptively Delicious to one lucky reader!  To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me what your favorite fruit or vegetable dish is, or what "tricks" you use to get your kid (or husband!) to eat their veggies - or really anything fruit or vegetable related!

And if you don't have kiddos yet, you can still enter!  The cookbook isn't just for kids - all the recipes we've tried have been really yummy and would be a good way to get the whole family eating more of the green stuff!

The giveaway will stay open until midnight Eastern on Thursday (March 22) and then I'll pick a winner at random Friday morning!

Good luck!!!
