Kids can head over to Publix on May 12-13 from 10a to 4p and decorate a cake just for mom in time for Mother’s Day.
The cakes themselves are $7.99, but they provide everything you need to decorate it and make it look special.
The cake is heart-shaped, but I can’t remember if it was an actual cake, or a cookie cake. Either way, the kids had a blast when they did this last year and felt like they had really made something unique (even though they were the ones that ended up eating most of it!)

On Saturday, March 24th from 10-11am, kids can build a FREE project at Lowe’s. They are currently transitioning their site, so I can’t tell what it is and you can no longer register on line, but you can still show up and participate!
Remember, even if you did register, you need to get there early because once they run out of kits, they’re done!
If you’re looking for Gap discount codes, you’ll want to be sure to grab this one that’s good March 20-21, 2012, but how much you save depends on when you shop.

You’ve been waiting for it, and now it’s finally here – you can win Robin Good, the latest VeggieTales masterpiece…even though it doesn’t release to stores until March 3
I actually got a sneak peak of Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men (or at least the cover of it) when I got to be part of a VeggieTales focus group last year. Ever since, I’ve been anxiously awaiting this story where the lesson is on something so important, especially in the stage I’m in with my young school-age children: handling hurt. It’s just another reason why I appreciate VeggieTales – they heard from moms that this was a top lesson they wanted to see VeggieTales address for their kids…and boy did they listen!
A little info about the show:
There’s no hurt too big for God! Robin Good has a mission - fundraising from the rich and giving to the poor! But when a greedy Prince starts stealing the townspeople’s hams, donations are down and Robin’s band of friends desert him to give robbing a try. Can Robin overcome his hurt, show his friends what’s right and restore the townspeople’s hope?
The DVD also features:
An adorable short video starring Junior Asparagus: “Lenny and the Lost Birthday”. Plays at the start of the show before the main feature.
A digital short that is both hilarious and educational, teaching kids about what a Leap Year means: “Larry’s Leapin’ Leap Year”. Watch it on the DVD and also here: http://www.veggietales.
Plus check out the amazing guide they created:
One of you can win the DVD before you can even buy it in stores! Just enter via Rafflecopter below:
