Delta Dental’s Treasure Your Smile Giveaway!

I’m pleased to be pairing with Delta Dental of Colorado for this awesome giveaway! My kids are huge fans of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and the Real Pirates exhibit is AWESOME! In the Delta Dental’s Treasure Your Smile Giveaway, you can win tickets to the Real Pirates exhibit, a trip to Disney World® or a Sonicare® toothbrush!

Pirates weren’t known for their healthy smiles. Truth is most swashbucklers had poor oral health, and unfortunately, many children in Colorado share this same affliction. As a major supporter of the Real Pirates exhibition at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Delta Dental of Colorado, the state’s largest dental benefits provider, is hoping to educate Colorado children and families about how to keep cavities at bay.

Delta Dental of Colorado is giving one lucky LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos reader a family six-pack of tickets to the Real Pirates exhibition. Enter Delta Dental’s Treasure Your Smile Giveaway at www.TreasureYourSmile.com and use promo code 0977 for a chance to win the tickets and be entered into a monthly drawing for a Sonicare® toothbrush and a grand prize drawing for a trip to Disney World®. The Real Pirates ticket contest deadline is Friday, July 10th, 2011.

You can also “piratize” your picture like the one of Kayley and me!

8th Continent Soy Milk – Art Contest & Giveaway!

I recently learned about a fun little contest – 8th Continent Soymilk is asking kids to draw and submit their own sun-inspired artwork, to go along with their newly unveiled carton design. Kids ages 5 and up can submit their artwork to the 8th Continent website, or even use the drawing tool right on the website. (Fun! My kids LOVE stuff like this.) One hundred winners will each receive $1,000 in art supplies for their school art programs, and the winning designs could be featured on 8th Continent soymilk cartons this fall.

More details about the contest, from their press release:

  • Children five years and older can submit their own sun-inspired artwork at www.8thcontinent.com
  • Entries can also be created online through an interactive drawing tool at www.8thcontinent.com
  • Contest participants can submit one artwork entry per day through 11:59 pm EST on June 12, 2010
  • All design submissions will be featured on www.8thcontinent.com in an online gallery where the public can vote for their favorite work of art
  • The number of public votes in the online gallery will determine 50 contest winners and a panel of judges selected by Stremicks Heritage Food will determine an additional 50 winners
  • The 100 winners will each be recognized with $1,000 in art supplies for their school art programs – for a grand total of $100,000!
  • Winning designs may also be featured on 8th Continent soymilk cartons beginning this fall!
  • Here’s some stuff you probably didn’t know: 8th Continent soymilk is made from soybeans grown in here in the U.S. (My oldest daughter has lots of extended family out in central Illinois, growing vast amounts of soybeans – wonder if any of them make their way to 8th Continent?) 8th Continent soymilk is an excellent source of calcium, and is the only American Heart Association-certified soymilk containing less than 3 grams of fat. It’s available in four different varieties: complete, regular, light, and fat free – and it’s lactose free, vegan, and Kosher.

    And, it tastes good! Know how I know? 8th Continent was kind enough to hook me up with a prize pack, which contained a coupon for me to try it myself, along with yummy cereal and darling melamine bowls (my kids are fighting over them right now – two bowls don’t go very far in a family of seven!) In addition to the breakfast items, the prize pack also contained some art supplies so my kids could enter their sun drawings in the contest. And, because they’re cool, they’re giving me a second prize pack to award to one LaLaGirl reader. Could be you! Yes, could be. In order to win, just leave a comment on this very entry. You can get a bonus entry by LIKING me on Facebook. But you already do like me, right? Right? One winner will be drawn on Monday, May 24, 2010.

    Hey, you might as well check out 8th Continent Soy Milk on Facebook, while you’re at it!

    Glade…WINNAH!

    I would have posted this sooner, but everyone in my house has been sick for days. You shouldn’t even be here – go wash your hands after you read this.

    Anyway! The winner of the Glade basket has been selected, and I’m pleased to announce it here, almost a week late: it’s Comment #5, KIM! Yay, Kim!

    I’ll be contacting you for your shipping address!

    Glade – A Fresh Night Out: GIVEAWAY!

    Denver bloggers at 'A Fresh Night Out'

    A couple of weeks ago, my friend Anne Marie of A Mama’s Rant hosted an intimate little event which was sponsored by Glade. It was so much fun. I’ve gone to lots of blogging events in the past, and while it’s always a blast to meet other local bloggers, it’s usually crowded and noisy and hard to hear what people are saying. This event wasn’t like that at all. We gathered at the fabulous Warwick Hotel in downtown Denver and enjoyed some great appetizers and drinks while we heard about the Glade Sense & Spray products. Here’s a little info about the Glade Sense & Spray – it’s pretty neat!

    Glade® Sense & Spray™ is a smart air freshener that automatically freshens only when you need it, and the new Clear Springs™ scent is specially formulated to eliminate odors. Motion-activated Glade® Sense & Spray™ helps busy moms keep their home smelling fresh with the personalized fragrance they deserve, while conserving the refill and enjoying a value-conscious lifestyle.

    Glade® Sense & Spray™ is available in six fragrances. The starter kit is offered in new Clear Springs™, Clean Linen™ and Apple Cinnamon, and refills are available in new Clear Springs™, new Hawaiian Breeze™, Clean Linen™, Apple Cinnamon, Powder Fresh® and Country Garden®. This innovative air freshener is available in the air-care aisle of most food, drug and mass-merchandise stores such as Target, Wal-Mart and many more.

    lala girl and Red Sox Mommy We had a good time making up names for new Glade scents – somebody actually suggested bacon. Haha! My suggestion was, “Newborn baby head” although I’m not sure how they’d get that scent into the can. Everyone also had a blast making gift baskets, which contained a mug ready to decorate with markers, a chenille throw blanket, a jar of homemade cocoa mix, a satin sleep eye mask, and the Glade Sense & Spray. The blanket and the basket itself were provided by IKEA – they’re awesome! Each of us was able to make two baskets – one to bring home and one to give away to a reader. Yay! A giveaway! I’m actually giving both away. The one I brought home with me is going to make an awesome teacher gift for my favorite para. Hope she doesn’t read my blog, or it’ll spoil the surprise! (Surprise! Your house stinks! No, not really. But kind of funny, huh? Hee!)

    Want to win the basket I created? Here it is. This is the EXACT BASKET you will receive, if you win this little contest!

    Look closely, because my basket is extra special. I’ve already decorated the mug with Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba. Now you really want it, don’t you? Imagine sipping your coffee out of this darling mug!

    Also, I agonized over the decision of which color throw to put in my giveaway basket. I loved the red throw and the green, but ultimately decided the green would be prettier in the giveaway basket. Yay, green blanket from IKEA. Yay, nice smelling bathroom. Yay, Yo Gabba Gabba inspired coffee mug! If you want this basket, I would love for you to have it. All you have to do is leave a comment on this very post. That’s it. You don’t need to Tweet about it, post about it, follow my RSS feed, or anything else. (Although you can if you want to! Share the love!) Comment as often as you’d like. One winner will be chosen at random on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. (That would be the 27th, if you’re keeping track.) The basket will be shipped to you directly, so you’ll need to provide me with a shipping address.
