win-it wednesday

Looking for a last-minute Mother’s Day idea? Consider ordering mom a cake from Bake Me A Wish. Bake Me A Wish specializes in gourmet gift cakes with a twist. Five percent of all profits go to help charitable causes, something that moms everywhere can feel good about!

My family had the pleasure of trying the Bake Me A Wish Classic Carrot Cake, and it was delicious! The cake was just large enough to allow each family member a good-sized slice with nothing leftover to fight over later. The best part was I didn’t have a huge mess in my kitchen to clean up afterwards — I love to bake, but I hate the dirty dishes, LOL.

Two lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a Bake Me a Wish Cake of their choice.

To enter, tell me what your favorite cake flavor is. Are you a carrot cake lover like me, or do you prefer devil’s food?

Marshalls recently sent me to shop one of their stores with the challenge of seeing what designer spring clothing styles I could pick up for under $100. I’m all about casual and comfortable, so check out my finds above. Here’s what I scored:

• Max Studio Cream Colored Blouse, paid $24.99 (compare at $50, MSR $68)
• Frye Sammy Softie Slides, paid $39 (compare at $100+)
• Max Studio Lavender Colored V-Neck, paid $19.99 (compare at $40, MSR $68)

Altogether I spent $83.98 plus tax for these cute name brand items! I have to say my favorite score was the shoes. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to wear heels, and these are ultra comfy and stylish.

Marshalls also turned this opportunity into a little contest. Vote for your favorite style or blog below.

The winning site will receive a $250 Marshalls gift card, but honestly, I was more excited to have the opportunity to give you all a chance at winning yourselves.

Eating dinner as a family can be rough when kids have after-school activities like sports, dance classes, music practice and more. However, studies have shown that the dinnertime together that is so hard to accomplish is actually an important part in raising our kids to be happy and healthy adults. That’s why Stouffer’s is offering the LET’S FIX DINNER Challenge.

Studies have shown that children who eat dinner with their families at least five times a week are:

• more than 50% less likely to drink alcohol, smoke or try marijuana
• more likely to get As and Bs for grades in school
• less likely to feel depressed
• more likely to talk to their parents if they have a problem

Stouffer’s is challenging families to sign up for LET’S FIX DINNER and make an effort to eat together more often as a family. You can set your dinner goals and track your progress week by week. Plus, you’ll be entered to win prizes as you go along. Don’t forget to print your $1 Stouffer’s coupon when your sign up!

Five lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win (4) Free Stouffer’s Single Serve Product coupons (up to $3.89 ea.) and (1) Stouffer’s Family Size Meal coupon (up to $8.99).

To enter, tell me how you get your family to the dinner table. Do you have quick meal ideas to share? Is there anything you do to make it fun for the kids?

If you’re looking for a fun and unique Mother’s Day gift, you might check out the Jizo and Chibi jewelry collection. So what exactly are Jizo and Chibi? Jizo is the protector of children, women and travelers, and Chibi means “little one” in Japanese. I just love the meaning behind these whimsical pieces — not only are they cute, but I can relate to what they represent.

Jizo and Chibi sent me a Big Chibi necklace in silver, along with a Tiny Chibi necklace in gold. It’s one of the most adorable mother/daughter sets I’ve seen in awhile. There was a bit of squabbling between my girls when it came time to decide who was going to get to wear it, but I ultimately decided to let my youngest daughter have it since she was so completely enthralled with the shape.

First she thought it was a flower, then a gingerbread man, then a little chubby guy… Just seeing her little mind at work was a wonderful gift in itself! Back to the necklaces though — they’re beautifully crafted and definitely a conversation starter for all ages.

Coupon Code: Through Father’s Day, 6/20, enter BUDDHABDAY at checkout to receive 25% off your order!

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will receive a Big Chibi and Tiny Chibi mother/daughter set.

To enter, tell me what you would do with the mother/daughter set. Do you know a mother/daughter that would would love this whimsical set? Do you have a “little one” of your own to give the Tiny Chibi necklace to? Perhaps you’d give Big Chibi to your own mom.

Gillette is adding a new razor to their lineup called the Fusion ProGlide Power razor. It won’t be available in stores until June, but my husband was lucky enough to receive one early to take part in the Fusion ProGlide Challenge.

My husband usually isn’t that particular about razors. He’ll use whatever I buy him within reason, but even I noticed a big difference after he used the Fusion ProGlide this morning. His skin was much smoother than usual, which I’m sure is in part to the new technology that Gillette has put in place:

• Re-engineered Low Cutting Force Blades
• Blade Stabilizer
• Snowplow Comfort Guard
• Enhanced Lubrastrip
• Redesigned Handle
• Microcomb

100 lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will have a chance to take part in the Fusion ProGlide Challenge as well, getting the opportunity to try out this innovative new razor before it hits the stores in June!

Just register on the widget below — it will count down to zero to let you know when the FREE Fusion ProGlide Razor supply is exhausted.
