Day 11: Veggie Tales "It's a Meaningful Life" Review & Giveaway



My kids love Veggie Tales, so we were all excited to review the latest Veggie Tales release It's a Meaningful Life.  Now my son Peter asks me every day if he can watch it!  It's a Meaningful Life focuses on the lesson of being content and features the new song "Meant to Be" from Steven Curtis Chapman.  We all really enjoyed the story which was entertaining while teaching valuable lessons.  And young kids won't get this, but I loved how the main character and his wife are named Stewart and Donna, obviously a take-off on Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed who starred in It's a Wonderful Life.

The movie's synopsis: "It was the biggest football game of his life and Stewart (Larry the Cucumber) had a chance to win it all. Injured in one bad play, his hopes of playing in the Salad Bowl—and living a life of fame and fortune—are dashed forever. Years later, silly-but-sweet Stewart loves his family, friends and job at the toy train factory, but still wonders “what if” things had been different. When he meets a mysterious train conductor who can turn back time, Stewart gets a chance to have the life he always wanted. Will he find all he’s been looking for? And what does this mean for those he loves most? Find out in this story of wonder and a lesson in being content!"

It's a Meaningful Life would make a great gift this holiday season!  It is available online from Amazon.com for the discounted price of $8.99 (reg. retail is $14.97) and from Big Idea's Veggie Tales shop (all titles are 30% off through 12/15!).  If you decide to purchase it in-store instead of online, you can save with this printable $3 off coupon (valid on in-store purchases only)! 

Giveaway

One My Evansville Mommy reader will win a copy of It's a Meaningful Life!  This giveaway will end on December 15 at 11:59 PM Central time.

Help Military Heroes send love home to their family.

With thousands of active-duty military fathers and mothers away from their homes fighting for our country, Sears’ Heroes at Home Wish Registry helps to bring the holidays home for many deserving families.

You can help Sears as they fulfill military heroes’ wishes this holiday season by making a contribution to the Wish Registry either in-store or online at  (donations are accepted until Dec 31). This is a great way to give back this holiday season and say "thanks" to the nation's troops.

Sears’ Heroes at Home Wish Registry has helped more than 51,000 military families and has raised more than $12.2 million. For many, the wishes fulfilled in years past have been simple and practical, including everything from warm clothes to new toys for their children to a Christmas tree and other holiday decorations for their homes.

Day 10: Schwan's Review & Pie a la Mode Giveaway



Schwan's Home Service, Inc. is America’s largest direct-to-home food delivery business, marketing and distributing approximately 400 budget friendly frozen food solutions to millions of customers in the 48 states. Our frozen specialties include the company’s signature ice cream, pizza, choice meats, seafood, fruits and vegetables, side dishes, breakfast items, seasonal favorites and desserts. Schwan’s Home Service’s success is built on personalized service, enduring customer relationships, top quality products and selection, and traditional values.


Schwan's sent me several items to try out.  My favorite was Raspberry Rumble Ice Cream - vanilla ice cream, with a raspberry puree swirl, chocolate-covered raspberry truffles, and raspberry-coated
crunchy clusters.  It was absolutely amazing - one of the best ice cream flavors I have ever tasted! 


The Old-Fashioned Apple Pie was also excellent and weighs in at a whopping 3 pounds.  It tasted homemade and for the size it is an great value.  We ate it warm topped with vanilla bean ice cream... oh so good!  My 17-month-old Liberty was too full to finish her bowl, but later we found her sitting at the kitchen table with the bowl in her lap eating some more!  Little monkey.

 
We loved the Buffalo Chicken Dip and quickly devoured it!  The dip is layered with ranch flavored cream cheese, spicy shredded buffalo chicken, and topped with creamy shredded cheese.  It was fantastic with tortilla chips!  We also tried the Cheese Balls - cheese curds with a crunchy coating - which were yummy dipped in ranch dressing. (Not diet food but hey, cheese is worth it, right?) 

Giveaway

Schwan's would like to give two My Evansville Mommy readers "Pie a la Mode" - your choice of any pie and ice cream!   This giveaway will end on December 14 at 11:59 PM Central time. To enter this giveaway, visit the Schwan's site and then comment here to tell us which pie or ice cream you would most like to try (this is mandatory to enter!).  Then fill out the ENTRY FORM. You can also receive additional entries for the following (you will check these off on the entry form - please do not leave extra comments relating to these):

Day 9: Yochi Yochi Fun Footwear Giveaway



Yochi Yochi is proud to introduce the latest trend from Japan here on American soil. Yochi Yochi shoes are made with a small squeaking diaphragm in the heel of each shoe which causes a small squeak when your child takes a step. The noise is fun, but it goes beyond that.

With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in that fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing.  In addition to safety, many doctors have suggested that when children can audibly recognize their footsteps, the sounds can reinforce the natural rhythm of walking and actually help train them to walk.

Yochi Yochi Shoes are also manufactured using environmentally friendly practices. The shoes are available in sizes 3 - 8 and come in two styles: Prince Kairu frog for boys and Princess Sakura panda for girls.   Same day shipping is available on most orders and the shoes are backed by a moneyback guarantee!

Yochi Yochi would like to give one My Evansville Mommy reader a pair of shoes in your choice of style!  This giveaway will end on December 13 at 11:59 PM Central time. To enter this giveaway, visit the Yochi Yochi site and then comment here to tell us which shoe design is your favorite (this is mandatory to enter!).  Then fill out the ENTRY FORM. You can also receive additional entries for the following (you will check these off on the entry form - please do not leave extra comments relating to these):

* "Like" Yochi Yochi on Facebook and tell them My Evansville Mommy sent you
* Subscribe to My Evansville Mommy's feed or email subscription
* Publicly follow My Evansville Mommy with Google Friend Connect
