Congratulations to Mamas Like newest winner of the My Personal Vacation Plan 5-day vacation plan!

Brooke | Our dream vacation? Some kind of an urban city we’ve never been to as a family with lots of great sites to see - architecture, art, and great restaurants. Maybe Chicago?

Please check your email with winning details.

The vacation-taking season is fast approaching, if not here already. Most of us don’t use travel agents any more, but we still need help deciding what to do in a new city, or even in a place we’ve already been.

That’s where The Personal Vacation Plan can help! You’ve already planned when you’re going, where you’re staying, and how you’re getting there. PVP will help you avoid the annoying question, “What are we gonna do NOW?”

On my recent trip to New York City (see - Rockefeller Center!), my husband and I had a few things already planned that we knew we wanted to see and places we knew we wanted to eat. To help us maximize our time and our trip, I answered a few questions from The Personal Vacation Plan about our lifestyle (ie. what we like to do) and our schedule as we had it arranged already.

From there, PVP took over. We had a DETAILED - I mean really detailed - itinerary chock full places, cost, and interesting tidbits for things we didn’t even know were available for us to do.

For the anal Type-A personality in all of us and without the time to plan, let The Personal Vacation Plan help you on your next vacation or trip out of town. Even if you’re just visiting family, PVP can provide options for you to have on your trip. No more sitting around playing Wii watching the grass grow waiting for somebody to make a decision. DO SOMETHING on your vacation!

Just for our Mamas Like readers, Angela at The Personal Vacation Plan is offering a free planned day with the purchase of a package. All you need to do is type “Mamas like a free day” in the box at the end of the survey that says “Is there any other information we should know about your personal preferences?” when you purchase your package.

Giveaway you say? The Personal Vacation Plan is giving away a FREE FIVE DAY VACATION PLAN to one of our readers! That’s a $220 value - our biggest giveaway yet! Just comment below on what is you dream family vacation destination. Giveaway ends Wed, April 9, 11:59pm EST. The winner will be posted on Mamas Like and on Prizey.Fetch.

Congratulations to Mamas Like’s latest winner of the $50 gift certificate giveaway from Fun and Sassy Designs from the Write Right review.

#53 Kristi Said: “I would get the personalized note cards for my son who is just starting to write. It would be a good motivator to keep him writing on his own.”

Congratulations Kristi! Check your email for details on your big win!

I know it’s bad grammar, but it sounded good for this title of this review for Fun and Sassy Designs. With the stationery and announcements found at FSD, you will be writing right. Or correctly. (Forgive me, I was a teacher in a former life.)

I’m a softy for cute stationery, so being introduced to this site is just fun at my fingertips. As you know, I’m not a classy lady, but with the notes, cards, and announcements on Jen’s site, I can act like one. Just look at that card <—–. You just know the person who sent that is classy even if she is wearing her best sweats and banana hair clip like me while addressing the envelopes.

Throwing a bridal or baby shower, BBQ, or fiesta and inviting me in the near future? Checkout the ginormous selection of chic invitations at Fun and Sassy Designs like the snazzy one here —–>. I just wish I’d known all about this stationery when I had my girls so I could tell my shower-throwers to get on the ball and send out the cute invites from FSD!

I’ll be using the coupon code offered to Mamas Like readers for 10% off on my order for SOMEbody’s baby shower in the next 4-5 months. Enter code ~ mamas10 ~ at Fun and Sassy Designs for 10% off your order.

Want a spare $50 to spend at FSD? Enter a (that means one and only one) comment here by Friday, March 28th, at 11:59pm EST, letting Jen know for what purpose you’d use your $50 gift card.

Check back at Mamas Like or on Prizey.Fetch to see if you’re the big winner!

I have two toddler girls (sympathy much?), and knowing what to feed them in what proportions can be a difficult task while I’m cleaning spilled yogurt while fixing dinner while looking my absolute best in my fancy t-shirt and perfectly un-coiffed hair.

I’m so glad to have discovered the kid’s plates Super Healthy Kids to help me quickly see how much of each food group to serve my kiddos. The plate gets major bonus points for being so cute and attractive to my girls. Bonus, bonus - the plate is super durable. That way I don’t have to worry if my little Trouble decides to see how far she can throw her beans and her plate together. Triple bonus - the plate is ONLY $5.99!

Amy, the President of Super Healthy Kids, says this about her plate: “It’s not about denying, depriving, measuring, disciplining etc. It can be about enjoying wonderful, whole, natural food and realizing you feel better when you eat well. And the more the kids learn, the more empowered they will be to make good choices on their own.” Amy has blog that features healthy eating tips for kids at http://blog.superhealthykids.com/. Check it out for some great tips on how to trick teach your kids to eat healthy foods.

Wanna win a plate of your own for your kids? Enter a comment here with your kiddo’s favorite fruit or veggie, and we’ll pick TWO winners on Wed, March 12th, at 11:59pm. We’ll post the winners here on MamasLike and on Prizey.Fetch. But don’t worry, we’ll email the 2 winners, too.

Congratulations to the winner of our latest giveaway, Crafty Lady, from Allison Strine Designs.

Comment #9 by Becky, “What a great variety to choose from! My favorite quote is “She sees life through mom-colored glasses”…so true. ”

Please check your email for details about your prize.

Congrats!

Allison Strine is an artist; a true artist who offers her work for sale to everyone to enjoy. In her Etsy store, Allison Strine Designs, she offers jewelry, magnets, and cards all with her personal design. I found Allison from another review, and after discovering her magnets, I bought 5. I couldn’t decide on my favorite design, so I bought a bunch!

My favorite designs include the quotes about “She.” “She” is the every-woman that we all know inside ourselves. “She” is the embodiment of all of us women. “She” is me. And Allison created her for me to wear, put on my fridge, and admire.

One of the most creative ways Allison creates her art is through her license plate art. In her words, “each very individual charm is created with a real and really old license plate snippet, encased in a glass and silver box of beauty.” Not only is she recycling like a good little citizen, but she is creating fanTAStic art to wear.

If you haven’t yet heard of Etsy, RUN CLICK on over now after you enter for the giveaway. Etsy is one of the best sites on the internet, and it is THE best site for finding handmade art sold by the artists themselves.

Own your own art that speaks to you. Ms. Artiste, Allison, is offering a giveaway of a $35 gift certificate to her Etsy store just for Mamas Like readers. Leave a comment here letting Allison know which “She” quote is your favorite to enter in the giveaway. One lucky winner will be chosen on Wed, March 5th, at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be posted here on Mamas Like and on Prizey Winners.
