Happy 8th Birthday, Isabelle!!

Today's the big day that Isabelle turns the big EIGHT!!  WOW!!! She had a great pizza, pajama party with her friends here at the house on Friday night. They made "friendship jars," played outside, played party games, and enjoyed pizza, cake, and ice cream while staying up "late" (8pm!). Such a fun night! 

Keeping with tradition, here are the questions I ask the kids each year on their birthdays...

Stonyfield and Shutterfly: $20 Promo Code!

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE pictures. My mom loved taking and displaying photos and she passed that love along to me. We have frames galore hanging around the house filled with captured memories. This past summer I recently bought two more collage frames (one can never have too many!) and printed off a bunch of my favorite baby pictures to display. Each day I pass by and admire the chubby cheeks, feetie pajamas, and wobbly legs of days gone by. Those baby days really do go by in the blink of an eye so I am so thankful that I was camera obsessed and can look back on them now.

Stonyfield and Shutterfly also recognize that babies and photos go hand in hand so they teamed up to bring you an awesome offer. When you purchase any Stonyfield YoBaby or YoTot yogurt 6-pack, you receive $20 off your order at Shutterfly.com. The offer is good for $20 off one qualifying merchandise order of $20 or more. It is limited to one per household and ends on February 29, 2016. You can learn the full details by clicking HERE. So next time you purchase a Stonyfield YoBaby 6 pack (which my babies used to love!), look on the top of the orange lid and get your code!

Shutterfly and Stonyfield were nice enough to send me a code to use and I made a Christmas ornament to hang on our tree this year. I know, I know, it seems too early for Christmas, right? I figured might as well get a jump on it and I used a photo from our family shoot this past summer. 


 
I loved that it came in a little bag for me to store it in or it would be perfect if I was giving it away as a gift. So now that I've made this ornament I feel tempted to make a million more. It's hard having a photo addicted personality! Looks like maybe I'll have to start buying Stonyfield baby yogurts again for friends and family!

Davis Farmland: Ticket Giveaway!

I recently received 4 tickets to Davis Farmland in Sterling, MA. Our family has never been so I was pretty excited to go. I have heard nothing but great things about it and heard over and over again that it is well worth the money since you can easily spend the whole day there. I envisioned a good old fashioned, animal and pumpkin filled family day. However, life and other commitments have made that plan dwindle and now I fear we won't make it before Davis Farmland closes for the season.

What does this mean for you? Well it means YOU could go and have all the family fun that I imagined! That's right - I am giving away my family 4 pack of tickets to one lucky Dollops reader!

If you're unfamiliar with Davis Farmland, click HERE to check out fellow blogger, Gilda's, recent post about her family's trip there. It's filled with information, tips, and pictures!

The tickets expire on October 25, 2015 so this is a QUICK giveaway. Enter now so I can pick a winner and mail the tickets out to the lucky duck!

Stonyfield Organic Fruit Snacks: Review

Have you heard that Stonyfield has ventured out of the dairy aisle with the release of their new Stonyfield Organic Fruit Snacks? Well they graciously sent my family some boxes of the fruit snacks to try. Now I don't regularly buy fruit snacks because I know dentists have heart palpitations when they see kids eating chewy, sugary snacks. Everything in moderation though, right? To be totally honest, I was a bit nervous that my kids wouldn't like the Stonyfield fruit snacks. I have those super picky kids that like things just so and I was afraid these might be a bit "too healthy" for them. After all, Stonyfield Organic Fruit Snacks are made with real fruit and real vegetables, have no artificial ingredients or preservatives, and contain 100% DV of Vitamin C. That seems like something kids could complain about, right? Well I was pleasantly surprised when the kids LOVED them. They gobbled them up in a millisecond! They were psyched to have them and I'm excited for a fruit snack option that I can feel better about purchasing for special treats.

I even tried out a bag myself recently when I felt like I might be coming down with a cold and was consuming as much Vitamin C as I could get. I couldn't even tell you the last time I had fruit snacks. Maybe even never? They were really good! Oh, and they are shaped like cute little cows. What's not to love about that?

So if your kids (or you!) are fruit snack fanatics, keep an eye out for them in your local grocery store!
