Win a Frito-Lay Backyard Party Fan Pack

A package of goodies arrived at my doorstep just in time for summer festivities! With 6 active and involved boys, our backyard can seem like party central with kids (and grown-ups) coming over to jump on the trampoline, bat in the batting cage, or just coming over to hang out.  But, when they all come over, I need to make sure we have some goodies to eat.  Luckily Frito Lay brands have some amazing goodies like the ones pictured below for making your backyard party central.

 

 The barbeque dip is to die for by the way! It has real pieces of beef inside - yum!

In addition to the yummy chips and dips, their chefs have prepared some great recipes for backyard entertaining. Just click on the pictures for the yummy recipes!

Frito-Lay Flavor Kitchen Chef Jody will be sharing tips and recipes during a Facebook Fan Chat.  The chat will take place on the Frito-Lay Facebook Page on June 25 from 8 – 9 p.m. ET! They will be giving away fun prizes all night long, so don’t miss your chance to win!

 

The folks at Frito Lay have also offered to give one of my lucky readers the same pack they sent me!

 

Your Frito-Lay Backyard Party Fan Pack will include:

• Tampico Lantern

·         2-Piece Chip and Dip Set

·         1 bag of Tostitos® SCOOPS!® Tortilla Chips

·         1 jar of Tostitos® Chunky Salsa – Medium

·         1 bag of use RUFFLES® MAX Smokehouse Style BBQ Potato Chips

·         1 jar of RUFFLES® Ultimate Barbeque Dip

Disclosure: I was given the package above and a package to give away in order to facilitate this review and giveaway.  No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are my own.

Oregon Chai Twitter Party

I first fell in love with Chai tea at Starbucks, but it can get pretty pricey, and fairly inconvenient to go get my favorite tea when I have 6 boys to run after! Thank goodness I found Oregon Chai at the grocery store, and I could enjoy it anytime of the day with a lot more in my bank account. 

Oregon Chai will be hosting a Twitter party to celebrate its new 10-ounce canister product on Tuesday August 10 from 8–9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Wellness expert Peggy Hall will be hosting the event and will be sharing Me Time tips and answering guests’ questions. As a mom of all boys, I know how precious ME Time can be!  There will also be plenty of giveaways and one participant will win the $100 Me Time Supreme prize! Follow @OregonChai @oregonchaijulie and @PeggyHall to join in on the fun! The party hashtag is #Chaifor10.

If you want to learn more about Oregon Chai before the party, head over to their homepage, Twitter, and Facebook pages here:

Disclosure: This post and Twitter Party are sponsored by Oregon Chai.  I have not been compensated for this post, but have entered to win a $50 Visa gift card.  However, the opinions are solely mine and I do love their tea for my ME TIME!

Electrolux / Kelly Ripa Summer Campaign - Opportunity to Win! CLOSED

Kelly Ripa is celebrating a split with a banana split!  No, not a split between her and her fabulous hubby, Mark Consuelos, but a split from Electrolux - the company is splitting their refrigerator and freezer duo into two with the introduction of their new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer.  And not only are they celebrating their new products, Kelly and Electrolux are also getting together for a good cause. 

Starting today, at http://www.kelly-confidential.com/, you can build your ultimate banana split using virtual ingredients from classic whipped cream to caramel sauce to rainbow sprinkles. For each "split", Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund as part of its $750,000 commitment to help fight ovarian cancer.
As usual, Electrolux and Kelly find new and fun ways to say thank you to those who support this great cause. Everyone who logs on to the site and builds a split will be automatically entered for a chance to win the daily prize - $50 towards sweet summer treats - and the grand prize: the new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer from Electrolux.

MomSelect is also getting into the fun by offering one of my reader's a chance to win a $25 American Express Card to buy your own banana split toppings (or anything else your heart desires!)

MANDATORY ENTRY:

Visit Kelly's site to build your virtual banana split,  Each day you do, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund1. Plus, you'll be entered for a chance to win the daily prize, $50 toward sweet summer treats, AND the grand prize - the ultimate kitchen "split" - the new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer from Electrolux.2. Leave a comment below to tell me you have entered - you may do this once each day.
