win-it wednesday

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

Krazy Glue, the leading innovator of instant adhesives, knows a thing or two about krazy. They’re currently running a fun “My Krazy Life” contest, and they want you to share  your Krazy Life story for a chance to win one of several fun weekly prizes!

To say that life with five kids gets a little “krazy” is an understatement. I often think that I should live blog a typical day in the Kuczykowski household just to let you all have a little peek at the insanity! From misplaced shoes to MIA football jerseys to disastrous breakfast experiments to artwork on my freshly painted walls, it’s enough to make any mom want to just throw her hands up and lock herself in the bathroom for an hour or two — but then you’d have to listen to the whining and door pounding still…

The truth is, even though this isn’t how I’d always envisioned my life, I wouldn’t change it for the world. So I guess that makes me a little “krazy” too!

Click here to “like” Krazy Glue on Facebook and share your story to win!

Five lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a $50 gift card, a sample of Krazy Glue and some fun Krazy Glue promotional items!

To enter, tell me this: what’s the kraziest thing you’ve ever tried to repair with Krazy Glue?

For busy families like ours, it’s sometimes hard to strike a balance between healthy eating and easy meals.  Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods, a full line of authentic Italian meals, which recently became available in Walmart stores, is the perfect solution for busy school nights.

Michael Angelo’s is committed to never using the preservatives, stabilizers, artificial flavors or colors found in most frozen meals. Each meal is handcrafted from the recipes of Sara Agnello, an Italian mother of five boys, including Michael Angelo Renna, the CEO and Founder. You’ll only find real, whole ingredients found in a genuine Italian kitchen, including heirloom garlic, vine-ripened tomatoes, authentic Italian cheeses, premium meats, fresh semolina pasta and hand-selected herbs and spices. It’s a simple solution for nights when you want something nutritious AND kid-friendly.

Walmart offers a huge selection of meals from Michael Angelo’s:

• Meat Lasagna
• Eggplant Parmesan
• Chicken Piccata
• Vegetable Lasagna

With school starting soon, the paper monster will be here in full force before you can say “Don’t forget your lunch” and kiss the kids as they run out the door. Keep everything from newsletters to receipts to bills in order and under control with the NeatDesk from Neat. No more shuffling papers or investing money and space into large filing cabinets. NeatDesk helps you stay organized and manage the clutter by scanning your important papers into virtual file folders.

It’s quite easy to pick out what my biggest challenge in keeping a neat and tidy office is — paper clutter, and lots of it. From five kids’ worth of tests, artwork and calendar reminders to business contracts and receipts and business cards from the last three blogging conferences I’ve attend, you’ll find quite a variety. And that’s not even touching on one of the biggest culprits — my tear file of recipes, decorating ideas, and other articles from all of my favorite magazines.

I have to say that I was rather skeptical about whether one paper management system could tackle such a myriad of clutter, but the NeatDesk system managed to do it all! The NeatDesk scanner and NeatWorks software make scanning and organizing my paper clutter super simple by eliminating most of the data entry and creating searchable PDF files. It’s really nothing short of amazing, and while I still have a ways to go in completely decluttering my office, I’m confident that this system is THE ONE I’ve been searching for for so long.

In fact, the only drawback I’ve found is that the NeatDesk is a bit pricey at $399.99. They do offer the NeatReceipts product at a smaller price point of $199.99. You still get the awesome NeatWorks software, but the scanner is somewhat less sophisticated. I’d whole-heartedly recommend these products to parents though, as I’m sure we can all use a little extra assistance in the paper clutter department.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a NeatDesk Paper Management System!

To enter, tell me how you would use a NeatDesk to stay organized and manage that paper pile.

Every reader has four methods available to enter this contest. Choose one each of any combination of method one, two, three, or four for up to a total of 4 entries!!!

This post brought to you by Bealls. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s back-to-school season. The number of days left spent poolside are numbered. The sun is slowly losing it’s heat, and the stores are stocking shelves full of pencils, colorful notebooks and folders and crayons as far as the eye can see. In addition to supplies, the kids have likely been growing over the summer. Pants that once fit well now look as though a flood is headed their way. Shoes that graced their feet just two short months ago have become tight and uncomfortable after a summer’s worth of sandals and sun.

Inevitably, a trip to the store is in order. As we head to the store to stock up for the kids we generally focus on essentials: t-shirts, socks, jeans and other items that can be layered once it gets colder. Start by for deals in the sale and clearance sections on summer items, searching for t-shirts and shorts that can be paired with long-sleeve undershirts and worn for the first two months of school. Once the weather truly starts to turn cold, the back-to-school items will all be on clearance to make room for holiday wear, and you can jump on those sales.

Back-2-School at Bealls has all you need for the back-to-school season, from uniforms to trendy styles for boys and girls. You’ll have all your back-to-school shopping done in no time.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will receive a $250 gift card to Bealls Florida (can be used online too)!

To enter, tell me how you would spend $250 on back-to-school shopping at Bealls.

This giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, 8/14 and is open to all U.S. residents 18 years or older. At the end of the Contest Period one entrant will be selected by the Sponsor from the eligible pool of entries. Read the complete contest rules. Good luck!

Summer is always filled with adventure for our family. With five kids, any vacation or time together feels like an adventure, but spending time together as a family and exploring new places and seeing new things is totally worth the trials and pain of getting there.

Take advantage of the last days of summer, get out and enjoy the time together as a family.
