Are YOU the Sports Parent of the Year?

Ok – So I admit fully that I am NOT athletic. Or coordinated. Or even all that active {but hey, chasing a toddler half of the day in between writing on my laptop counts for something, right?} But I do come from a pretty athletic family – My brother James was kind of a rockstar at basketball, for most of his life – until high school when he hurt his knee. And his son, my nephew Cade, is the amazing little sportsman that was invited to attend the Young Athletes Innovation Summit with me, at the Nike World HQ earlier this year. Awesome stuff. And that kid – oh man. Throw him into any sport, even something {if you can find it!} that he hasn’t played – and he’ll still blow everyone out of the water. It’s so amazing to me to watch, since I’ve never been blessed with any type of physical skill. {I always say that I have 3 left feet… Yep, it’s THAT bad, lol.} So – since we love to celebrate athletics and the people who help kids succeed, I’m excited to share something new and very cool from Sports Illustrated with you guys….

For the first time ever, Sports Illustrated Kids is naming a “SportsParent of the Year”

This campaign is modeled after the famed Sportsman and SportsKid of the Year awards, which you’re probably familiar with. So this new SportsParent of the Year title will honor a parent who embodies the essence of sportsmanship. After all, we wouldn’t have a Sportsman or SportsKid without the role model who initially set the example, right?  A true SportsParent is dedicated to using sports to support family and community, not scores and trophies. The SportsParent will exemplify qualities that SI Kids aims to impart to children through a shared passion for sports, including fun, dedication, healthy living, and the value of community and team.

The “2012 SportsParent of the Year” Grand Prize Winner will receive a $1,000 VISA gift card to support his/her child’s or community team’s sports needs! The winner may also be featured in an upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated Kids magazine and/or on SIKids.com. How cool is THAT, right?

How to Enter: 

  1. Decide who to submit for the award, whether it is yourself, your spouse or another parent.
  2. Simply go to www.sikids.com/sportsparent and follow instructions to submit your nomination.
  3. Remember there is (1) nomination per person or email account.
  4. “Like” the Sports Illustrated Kids Facebook page.
  5. Share your entry with all of your friends and followers via social media (Twitter Hashtag: #SPOTY2012).

Get a FREE SI Kids September tablet issue COMPLETELY FREE! 

The tablet edition has everything that the print magazine has, but also includes bonus photos and interactive features like games and sports cards that kids will love! Simply download the SI Kids app on iPad or Kindle Fire, and use these credentials to access this latest issue: Login: freeissue@sikids.com & Password: september2012.

 

Or, if you ready to get an entire year of SI Kids in print and on tablet for only $19.95, you can subscribe right now by heading HERE!

{Disclosure: I received this great information from Sports Illustrated Kids in conjunction with this post, so that I could share it with you ladies. I also received a complimentary year subscription & limited promotional merchandise as compensation. Regardless, all opinions, as always, are my own – and 100% honest.}

Back-to-School Art Contest Lets You Earn Money for Your School’s Art Program

BACK-TO-SCHOOL Liberty Bottleworks Art Contest – You Can Make Money for Your School’s Art Program… Liberty Bottleworks is an amazing company located right here in my hometown of Yakima, Washington. All of their awesome, reusable, earth friendly water bottles are made right here in the USA, and are 100% BPA free. Liberty Bottleworks is launching a new line of 16 oz. kids bottles, and to celebrate the new kid-specific design, the company is hosting a Back to School Art Contest to give one aspiring artist a chance for their work to be featured on a limited edition Liberty bottle. How cool is that, right?

Liberty Bottleworks contest

Winning design will be sold to benefit art program at winner’s school

The Back to School Art Contest began Monday, July 9 and entries from young artists ages 5-13 – no help from parents allowed — will be taken through July 20. The winning design will be printed on a limited run of Liberty’s new 16 oz. kids bottles and sold on www.libertybottles.com, and through participating retailers. The company will donate $7 from each bottle sold to the art program at the winning student’s school.

“These new kids bottles have been a lot of fun for our illustrators to design, and we know there are some talented young people out there who can do us one better,” said Liberty Co-Founder Ryan Clark. “Plus, we know art programs around the country are struggling to survive and every little bit helps, so it’s a chance for the winning artist to make a real difference at their school.”

Rules and Contest Details

The contest opened at 12:01 a.m. on July 9 and submissions will be accepted through July 20. Entries will be posted on Facebook (www.facebook.com/libertybottleworks) and judged based on the following criteria:

  • The number of likes an entry receives on Liberty’s Facebook page.
  • Best design as decided by Liberty’s art staff.
  • Relevance of Back-to-School themed design .

Artwork must be no larger than 8.64″ wide by 2.27″ tall and must be original. Artists (or their parents, on their behalf!) can enter by submitting to the Liberty Bottleworks Facebook page with the artist’s age included in the caption. Entries may also be sent to libertybottleworks@me.com to be posted on the Liberty Facebook page. Votes will be accepted through July 20 and five finalists will be named on July 21. The winning design will be the one with the most “likes” by July 31, and their design will go into production immediately using Liberty’s one-of-a-kind cylindrical digital printer to transfer their art onto the Made-in-the-USA bottles.

Liberty Bottleworks Hoot Owl Kids Bottle

The 16oz. kids bottles retail for $18 and are available from www.libertybottleworks.com and through retailers around the country

The new line of kids bottles from Liberty boast the same features found on the company’s 24 and 32 oz. models – BPA-free, recycled aluminum construction, food grade inner coating, tapered neck for easy pouring and dent resistant design – but come in a smaller package. The 16 oz. version will feature Liberty’s standard, patent-pending quarter turn cap, while the smaller, soon-to-be-released 12 oz. bottle will come standard with the new sport cap, which is spill proof and easy for younger children to use.

Liberty Bottleworks logo - made in the USA

Founded in 2010, Liberty Bottleworks was created out of the belief that the best products are made in America by American workers. With a commitment to domestic machinery, raw materials, technology and manpower, Liberty Botteworks makes the industry’s only completely BPA-free metal water bottle from 100 percent recycled aluminum at its state-of-the-art factory in Yakima, Wash. Perfect for active lifestyles, whether in the backcountry, the boardroom or the back porch, Liberty bottles can be purchased from retailers across the country or from www.libertybottles.com. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on new products and other cool promotions.

A Drab to Fab Mommy Makeover

drab to fab makeover

Drab to Fab Makeover & More

Do you need a momma makeover too? I know I do! The wardrobe that worked in my “old life” – pre-baby, when I was skinnier, worked in fashion merchandising, and went out a lot – doesn’t exactly work well with my new routines or my new shape. With the help of Nutrisystem I’m down 16 pounds so far – {can I get a woo hoo??} – but still… I don’t quite fit into my old clothes, but am losing enough that my “in between” styles no longer fit either. I need a new wardrobe that fits my new busy-in-a-different way lifestyle.

  • Instead of running crazy-busy all day to set up new store displays, build outfits for customers, and stock shelves – I’m running crazy-busy after a toddler who just stuck yet another crayon up her nose. Less glamorous for sure. But I need to stop wearing elastic waist pants….
  • I finally fit into my VERY favorite super expensive pair of jeans from before I had a baby… But I don’t fit into everything. I’m losing weight, and think I’ll hit my goal by the end of summer. But while I’m getting smaller, I seem to be a very different shape than I was pre-baby, and not all of my old styles are going to work for me now.
  • I need clothes that are fun and trendy, and get me out of frump-mom territory, while still being comfy and easy enough to work from home with a toddler.
  • Instead of fashions that can go from work to a night out – I need something that goes from blogging at my desk to cleaning Cheerios out of the VCR, and is still presentable for a last minute playdate at the park. My, how life has changed.

So – I was super excited when a store that I LOVE, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, has a sweet contest going on. Visit their site to share your quick story on why YOU need a “Drab to Fab” Makeover too! You’re automatically entered to win a $500 Shopping Spree, a chance to be featured in their newsletter, and style advice from pro Brandy Lunsford. Awesome, right?

Plus today only – big savings - LastCall – 40% off  on top of sale prices on your whole purchase!!!
(see all LastCall coupons)

To enter, just click the link above, and then click through to Last Call’s site. You’ll see a big pink box in the lower middle of the screen where you can enter to win!!! {And heck, do some shopping too. It’s an early Memorial Day sale, with an EXTRA bonus 40% off their crazy discounted designer stuff. You’ll love it.

More fun prizes to win too!

  • Follow @LastCallNM on Twitter and mention @LastCallNM with hashtag #LCBeachBag on your next “Tweet” starting May 22, 2012, and ending May 29, 2012, at 11:59 p.m. CT. Entrants who include a picture of a Last Call product will double their chance of winning. Awesome!
  • Enter Cloud 9 Living’s Father’s Day Experience Giveaway Contest for your chance to win an “experience” prize –  (16 winners | more than $1,700 in giveaways) - Sign up to enter the contest and you will also receive a promotional code for $10 off all purchases between now and Father’s Day. Sweet deal!
  • Win a 2012 Toyota Sienna – or just take home $50,000 in cash. What a decision, right? This could be your mom swagger wagon, lol.
  • Summer fun is on the way, and you’ll be even more ready for it when you win this Step2 Play & Shade Pool! {Totally on my wish list right now for Abby} – or maybe enter to win a $500 spa gift card for yourself to get ready for tanks tops and bikinis!
