BK CROWN PROGRAM GIVEAWAY! * ENDED

IMAGINATION IS KING™ at BURGER KING^®. The new BK CROWN^TM/MC Program, built to inspire every kid’s imagination and encourage kids to help choose how BK^® gives back, brings families together to enjoy not just a meal but a mealtime experience.

• The BK CROWN^TM/MC Program comes in a fully interactive Kids Meal box. Sitting atop each box is a newly redesigned BURGER KING^® crown, because every kid deserves to be treated like royalty at BURGER KING^®! With crowns on their heads, kids can dive into the box, taking it apart, playing fun games and activities that challenge their minds, inspire their imagination and engage with the whole family.
• With the BK CROWN^TM/MC Program, Burger King Corporation invites kids to tell BURGER KING^® what matters to them most. BKC has established a fund to help support the Wildlife Conservation Society, National Parks Conservation Association, DonorsChoose.org and Have It Your Way™ Foundation. By visiting BKCrown.com, kids learn how BKC’s charitable partners make a difference. Upon entering BK CROWN^TM/MC Codes and clicking on their favorite cause, each kid’s vote helps BK^® choose which charity to give back to.
• The fun doesn’t end at the restaurant; the BK CROWN^TM/MC Program experience lives on at www.BKCrown.com where kids can place their vote for how BKC should give back, as well as find more games, win prizes and enjoy interactive play.
• Also at BURGER KING^®, for just $9.99 your family can enjoy the “BK™ Family Bundle” which includes a WHOPPER^® sandwich, WHOPPER JR.^® sandwich., two small fries, two small soft drinks and a Kids Meal. Now that’s a deal worth getting together for! Limited time only. Price and participation vary. Prices higher in HI.

Our kids loved the BK Crown Boxes which come with the famous crown, which is attached to the box and the fact that they could be engaged in stimulating and educational activity was delightful.  They are definitely fans of the BK CROWN Program.  I love the healthier options that are available.

They chose the charity DonorChoose.org, an organization that helps donate much needed supplies to classrooms around the United States.

YO GABBA GABBA! LIVE! Review

Last week we were able to take the youngest kids (Yo-Gabba-Gabb-ites ^pictured above) to watch Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! We attended the show at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah. This audience participation-filled show, featured some Yo Gabba Gabba favorites: DJ Lance Rock, Brobee, Foofa, Muno, Plex, and Toodee, with special guests Hip Hop Legend Biz Markie and Razzle Dazzle Superstar Leslie Hall. It was awesome to see how much the kids enjoyed the show.  For the most part our 3 year old sat still, watched and danced.  She LOVED the show!  I loved that the show had so much audience participation.  I loved how much fun it was.  It really kept the kids entertained and involved with the show.  We definitely look forward to seeing their favorite characters next year.   They sang some of our little one's favorite songs,  like "There's a Party in My Tummy!"

Compared to the last show, this show was much more exciting.  The cast and crew definitely KNOW how to make this show fun for all ages!  I loved the music that they used for the show.  Definitely my type of family music and fun!  I am sure your family will love it as much as we did.                                  

Thanks so much Yo Gabba Gabba! We had fun getting to know the characters and their songs.
                                                              

At the end the kids were all smiles at the END! ^ The little one, well she didn't want to leave the show. I especially loved seeing, Leslie Hall she cracks me up, she sure is talented!

The show will continue running from yesterday(11/15/2011- 12/10/2011)

Our family loved the cereals we were sent. We received Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios.  Of course they are some of the classic cereals, what better cereals to pair up with DC Super Hero Comics.
 Each of the cereals have that distinct freshness and flavor that is always nostalgic for me, as a child of the 80's and 90's these cereals were always the most requested in our house. I love it that Big G Cereals makes reading an important part of a healthy meal.  I am sure that your family will enjoy some of these tasty cereals and the bonus comic books as well!

Betty Crocker Fun da-middles Review & Giveaway!

Light up your child’s face with a home-baked treat that can be a perfect snack any time of the day. Betty Crocker® Fun da-middles™ are the first boxed-cupcake mix of its kind that will leave you pleasantly surprised with their sweet center! Delight your family and watch the smiles unfold as you greet them with the delicious, fresh-from-the-oven taste of new Betty Crocker Fun da-middles cupcakes.


Combining cake mix and filling pouch in one box, Fun da-middles cupcakes have a special creamy filling that bakes inside the cupcake.
Available in three delicious flavors, Vanilla Cake with Creamy Chocolate Filling, Chocolate Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, and Vanilla Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, Fun da-middles cupcakes are a fun and portable treat that children can take everywhere they go!

With Fun da-middles, you’ll never need to frost cupcakes again. Because after all, it’s what’s on the inside that matters.


Our Thoughts:

We loved our fun-da-middles! I baked them as an after school snack for the kids.  They came home and thought they were just regular old, non-frosted cupcakes.  Once they bit into the cupcakes, they enjoyed the surprise.  These cupcakes remind me of Twinkies.  I think they tasted much better than Twinkies.The cake mix directions were easy to follow and they baked up really nicely.  I also enjoyed the Creamy Vanilla Filling. I definitely want to try the Chocolate filled Vanilla cupcakes and the Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Filling.Thanks My Blog Spark and Betty Crocker!
