Glee Gum Giveaway

How Glee Gum got started? In 1992, the concept for Verve was born when we visited an economically depressed chicle-producing community in Northern Guatemala. Up until then, we had never really thought about how chewing gum was made. When we realized its origins, we learned that prior to the synthetic resins, chicle was the basis of the entire industry. Our goal was to support chicle-harvesting by purchasing chicle. With this goal in mind, Verve was born

Glee Gum is all natural chewing gum made with sustainably harvested rainforest chicle. It comes in SIX great flavors: cinnamon, peppermint, tangerine, bubblegum, spearmint, and triple berry. Glee Gum is the #1 healthy alternative to synthetic chewing gum and bubble gum! With no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners (no aspartame), or preservatives, it's easy to chew Glee-fully!



Glee Gum also offers activity kits for children are fun and educational. They are great for science classes, birthday parties, scout troops, and home schools. Kids can make chocolate, chewing gum, or gummy candy and learn a lot in the process!

Now I received the Make your Own Chewing Gum kit to try out with my kids and they had a blast, we made peppermint flavored gum and they just had so much fun doing it.

To WIN: Glee Gum has offered 1 of my readers their choice of  (Make Your Own Chewing Gum, Gummies or Chocolate).

Mandatory Entry:Go to their Website and tell me something you learned that I haven't already told you about.

BOOGIE WIPES GIVEAWAY

I had the opportunity to try out Boogie Wipes and it couldn't have been at a better time of the year. It seems likes when school starts the kids start bringing home coughs and colds and it drives me crazy but now we have Boogie Wipes and they can't complain about their nose hurting every time it gets wiped.


About Boogie Wipes:

Often referred to as The Boogie Moms®, friends Mindee Doney and Julie Pickens developed the first ever saline nose wipe called Boogie Wipes® as a solution for their kids’ sore, red, runny noses.  Using the idea, their business backgrounds and mompreneurial spirit they formed Little Busy Bodies, Inc in May, 2007.  After an intensive research and development process, hiring a chemist, surveying consumers and interviewing manufacturers, in December, 2007 they sold their first pack of Boogie Wipes.  Sales went on to reach $1 Million their first year of business.  Little Busy Bodies now operates out of Beaverton, OR and employs 12 full-time employees (9 moms) including Julie as CEO and Mindee as CMO. The company tripled their revenue in 2009 at $3.4 Million. They now offer 11 saline nose wipe products to 50,000 retail stores across the US and Canada including; Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens & Toys”R”Us. Their adult line of nose wipes, Achooz, will launch this spring.


Boogie Wipes has a Fall promotion going on right now called Save The Sleeve. Its a fun place for kids and it helps them learn to use their boogie wipe instead of their sleeve. There are also some gross facts that your kids just might find interesting.

My thoughts: I had all the kids try the wipes even if they didn't have a runny nose and they said they loved them, they were so soft and they especially loved the grape flavored.

To WIN: Boogie Wipes has offered ONE of my readers (2) packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape, menthol, or unscented– combination varies) 


Mandatory Entry:Go to their Website and tell me that I haven't mentioned already.

Wow

What an exhausting weekend, but I would do it all over again any day to be with family and friends for a weekend.

We left Thursday night at 6:00 in hopes that the kids would sleep most of the way which they did from about 9:30 on. So that was really nice. Sometime during the drive I had to pull over on the side of the highway to give something to the baby and our dog decided to jump out without me knowing. So we got about 2 miles down the road and my husband was like where is Rose. So everyone started looking for Rose and she was no where to be found. So I had to drive another mile or so to find a u-turn spot and we raced back to where I had stopped and she was just sitting there waiting for us. It was a very hectic few minutes the kids were crying and all I could think about was that if the dog wasn't there we were going home my oldest daughter would have been in a horrible state seeing as how is was her dog. Whew. We made it to my moms at about 2:30 in the morning and went straight to bed.

Friday we left the kids with my mom so my husband and I could go and see my friends new cafe that she opened and then we had to get the kids ready for trick or treating in downtown Corvallis. We only did one street because the kids started complaining about all the walking and their feet hurt......and then back to the cafe to see what we could do to help out.

Saturday I got to go shopping with my sister in law and the hubby got to go hunting while the kids hung out with my mom again. Then we had birthday party to attend for my little niece. Next we took my husbands father and mother out to dinner for his dad's birthday. And then back to the cafe.

Sunday we had to go home which I so did not want to do, if the kids didn't have school I would not be in Idaho right now.

We can't wait to go back at Thanksgiving time.
