Giveaway: The Mortification of Fovea Munson Prize Pack (Includes $50 VISA Gift Card!)

by 106 Comments

Thanks to Disney for sending me a copy of The Mortification of Fovea Munson and for providing a prize pack!

I know I always appreciate age-appropriate reading recommendations for my younger kids, so I’m pleased to share with you this book that’s perfect for elementary age readers that are just beginning chapter books. Added bonus? It’s a perfect read for Halloween…

The Mortification of Fovea Munson is equal parts funny and disgusting, making it appealing to both boys and girls. Girls will relate to the 12-year-old heroine that’s struggling with confidence, and boys will love every minute of the talking disembodied heads. Gruesome, but in a comical way!

Recommended for ages 8-12, it’s available for purchase now!

Fovea Munson is nobody’s Igor.

True, her parents own a cadaver lab where they perform surgeries on dead bodies. And yes, that makes her gross by association, at least according to everyone in seventh grade. And sure, Fovea’s stuck working at the lab now that her summer camp plans have fallen through. But she is by no means Dr. Frankenstein’s snuffling assistant! That is, until three disembodied heads, left to thaw in the wet lab, start talking. To her. Out loud. What seems like a nightmare, or bizarre hallucination, is not. Fovea is somebody’s Igor, all right. Three somebodies, actually. And they need a favor.

With a madcap sense of humor and a lot of heart (not to mention other body parts), this is a story about finding oneself, finding one’s friends, and embracing the moment.

Today, one (1) lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a The Mortification of Fovea Munson Prize Pack, which includes:

  • a copy of The Mortification of Fovea Munson
  • a $50 Visa gift card to (trick-or)-treat yourself

To enter, share how you teach your children to flip things sunny-side up when things seem to being going wrong.

Meet the New Polaroid Snap Touch Camera + Giveaway!

by 72 Comments

I know some of you already have an eye toward holiday gifts, so I thought I’d take a minute to introduce you to this new Polaroid Snap Touch Camera! Plus keep scrolling for a giveaway in honor of #MeetPolaroidTravels.

Share your best travel moments with #MeetPolaroidTravels throughout this summer for a chance to win…well, it’s a surprise! Submissions end on September 4. Like @MeetPolaroid for details on how to enter, winner announcements and more!

If you loved playing with a Polaroid camera when you were little (as I did), you’re going to adore this updated technology. It’s a Polaroid camera for the digital age, that adults, teens, and tweens will all adore. In fact, I don’t even know where mine is 95% of the time, because my girls are always playing with it…

The Polaroid Snap Touch Instant Print Digital Camera makes it fun, quick, and easy to snap, record, edit, print, and share all of those moments that you want to treasure for years to come. You can share instantly via bluetooth connectivity, or print your favorite images with the built-in instant printer!

My girls LOVE the instant print feature for decorating their lockers with photos of them and their friends. And the special 2×3″ ZINK zero ink photo paper makes it super easy to do this with its peel off sticky back. You can even add filters, borders, and stickers to your photos before you take them — all made easy by the 3.5″ LCD screen on the back of the camera.

The Polaroid Snap Touch is available in 6 colors: white, black, red, pink, blue. and purple. Find it on Amazon.com or in stores at Macy’s, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart!

Kingston Back To School Tech Price Drops + Giveaway!

by 39 Comments

As my kids’ classrooms go more and more digital, I’m always on the lookout for tech products that provide extra convenience. So these two products from Kingston really caught my eye: the Kingston Nucleum, a 7-in-1 connection hub, and the Kingston Bolt, a digital photo transfer device. Both are an excellent value with a new price drop that went into effect earlier this week!

I’ve been testing them out for the past month, so let me tell you a little bit about each one. And be sure to keep scrolling for a chance to win these two devices!

Kingston Bolt 64B, $44.99 (was $89.99!)
Have you ever tried to take a photo with your iPhone or iPad, only to get the dreaded “storage full” message? Then the Kingston Bolt is totally for you! It quickly backs up your photos and videos to free up iPhone space. Or you can just shoot photos and/or videos directly to Bolt.

I am literally the worst about culling photos from my phone, so the Bolt has truly been a lifesaver. The Bolt app makes it super easy to transfer phots, videos, and PDFs off of my phone, and I love that it comes with it’s own silicone holder that I can clip on my keychain. This way it’s always with me any time I need to use it!

Kingston Nucleum, $49.99 (was $79.99!)
The Kingston Nucleum is the answer being able to use all of the accessories you love with the new Mac notebooks. It plugs in with a USB-C cable, and gives you 7 additional ports to connect devices: USB-C (power input), USB-C (data), HDMI, USB-A (x2), SD, and microSD.

It’s especially convenient that the USB ports are located on opposite sides of the unit, which means you don’t have to worry about not having enough room to use them both at once. In fact, all 7 ports can be used simultaneously, with only one port used for power import. AND it has power delivery pass-through, which means you can power your MacBook/Device while simultaneously charging a phone AND running your external hard drive!

I’d definitely say this is a must-have device for students (and parents) that are using a 2016 or newer MacBook!

They’re going to be giving away a bunch of awesome Switch accessories for fans who do the challenge. And tag me too — @TaraKuczykowski! I’d love to see how your race compares to ours.

Make sure to visit your local GameStop from March 3-10, because more than 50 Switch toys, collectibles and accessories are going to be on sale! Here are the top deals, but you can check out the full lineup of sales on GameStop’s flyer:

  • 20% off select Nintendo Switch accessories—controllers, charging docks, carrying cases, racing wheels and more

More than 1,400 stores have a demo Switch, where you can film your challenge – check out their Switch store locator to find the nearest Switch-ready store near you)

Player One: This is the “Commander,” who sits facing the screen – it’s also fun to have more than one Commander, just beware—it can get a little loud!

Player Two: The “Driver” sits with their back to the screen (or blindfolded)—with the Joy-cons or controller
Rev Your Engine: Start up your Switch, fire up Mario Kart 8 and get ready to put your skills to the test

The Challenge: The Commander guides the Driver through the course –telling them when to turn, use their items, avoid running into walls and cows and fences…
