Hi, Lisa here with an opportunity for SIX lucky winners!  This will wrap up our Tahoe Kids giveaways for this summer.  If you remember, earlier this summer  Sierra Summits provided our readers with a discount code for a limited time on the purchase of sunscreen from their website.  The Tahoe Kids Sunscreen is the same great product Amy reviewed earlier this summer, only this time in a fun, kid-friendly bottle!! Currently it is retailing for $12.99 for a 3oz tube.  If you missed Amy’s review of the Sierra Summits sunscreen earlier this summer, I have re-posted a portion of it below.

Sierra Summits’ sunscreen was the first to obtain the Melanoma International Foundation’s Seal of Approval. The main active ingredient in Sierra Summits’ sunscreen is Zinc Oxide, which has been used for over 300 years and has a history of being safe for longterm use and effective for blocking UVA and UVB rays. It also does not degrade in the sunlight like Avobenzone so no photo-stabilizing chemicals must be added. They avoid the use of oils, fragrances, and Avobenzone to create a sunscreen that will not irritate sensitive skin. They have also avoided using Oxybenzone (which appears in 98% of mainstream sunscreens) because of its reputation with regard to how it is absorbed by the skin and longterm effects. It also goes on lightly like lotion so you are not stuck feeling greasy all day!! They choose not to offer a spray-on version because you are less likely to get full coverage and effects of inhaling those chemicals is unknown. The average sunscreen you pick up at the grocery store cannot boast of these things and many of them will cause reactions in those with sensitive skin (specifically our little ones). This is a sunblock that the entire family can use and be protected from dangerous UV rays!! (except for those under 1 year of age)

Hi everyone!  Well our Facebook giveaway did well and jumped our “fans” up over 300!  Now we’re going to do another gift certificate giveaway, this time for Google Friend Connect because this is what companies look at more than Twitter or Facebook and we’ve actually gotten turned down by some companies because we didn’t have enough followers on Google Friend Connect.  You may have noticed we have made following us on GFC part of the required entry in our giveaways and we may have to start checking that a little more closely because we only have 167 followers on GFC when we have over 300 on Facebook and over 500 on Twitter!

We’re going to give away a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com this time so you can spend it on diapers, toys, books, or whatever else you want,  and all you have to do is follow us on Google Friend Connect.  If you are already following on there then you are already entered!  No need to comment on this post or anything, just follow us!  We will draw a winner when we have 500 followers, which if our Twitter and Facebook followers all follow us on GFC we will be there in no time!  Please remember, the more followers we have the more giveaways we can have, plus with more followers we can get bigger prizes!

I stumbled across Inspire Your Walls the other day, an online store that sells lots of neat wall decals!  Along with www.inspireyourwalls.com, they also have an Etsy shop as well.  They have lots of great wall art for every room in your house, as well as personalized lettering and names.  I’d love to get Davey’s name made for his door!  They also have a rooster wall decal that would be perfect for my kitchen!  They have lots of great choices for your child or teenager’s room; there’s even a “Time Out” one to put in your time out corner…  too cute!

“Our lettering is an easy way to create a “hand painted” look of art without having to lift a paintbrush. It is a thin vinyl material that goes on easy and to top it off the lettering is also removable! You can add some wow to your walls without worry. We offer a font for every occasion, and over 23 colors. We can create the perfect masterpiece for your wall.  Our lettering is perfect for home-owners, business-owners, rent tenants, college students, and church groups, we can even create something for your car windshield too.”
