More Mother’s Day Giveaways!

May 2, 2009 By Leticia

In addition to the great items I’m giving away here, below are some new additions to my guide that will make time in the car a little more enjoyable.

To win any of these items, just leave a comment below. Winners will be drawn randomly and notified via e-mail.

Carpool Karma ($14.95) – Do you feel like you spend your life in the car running errands, driving to and from activities, and carpooling? The new Carpool Karma is a CD that is designed to help moms optimize time in the car and achieve their full mental and physical potential. The Carpool Karma instructional audio tracks guide you through convenient and effective mind and body exercises. Carpool Karma has gotten rave reviews from Cool Mom Picks who describe it the way to turn your minivan into a mobile multitasking machine. As someone always on the go, I look forward to trying their in-car techniques to try to reduce stress, stimulate brain activity (hello memory!) and work my shoulders, back, and abs. And while it may not replace Jillian and my efforts to Shred, it wouldn’t hurt to try to make my time in the car a little more productive!

Debi Derryberry’s Baby Banana CD ($11.99)- We scored an advance copy of this CD that comes out on Tuesday and have been loving the tropical themed disc full of steel drums and calypso inspired tunes with some reggae, jazz, and folk rock thrown in. As fruit lovers, we especially like the Tropical Fruit song which is a mouth-watering calypso/reggae salute to mango, papaya, and other healthy and natural delectable treats. Also included as the 10th track is Debi’s reading of her book, Baby Banana and the Licorice Tree. The story introduces Baby Banana as a preschool aged character who is searching for the island where the yummy licorice tree grows with Momma Duck and Daddy Gorilla.

    I would love to receive the carpool mama cd. I’m always in the car going here and there stressed out and gaining weigh while struggling to remember what I need to do next. Please pick me.

    Thanks again for another great giveaway! The Baby Banana CD would be perfect for our family, as we live down in the tropical Florida Keys.

    Good luck to everybody 🙂

    Carpool Karma – I have a bucket (I have a puker), water bottles, napkins, wet wipes, changes of clothes, toys, movies, music and snacks for the kids. Then in the adult part of the van I have a daily devotion book, The Love Dare, my iPod to listen to education/tech podcasts, gum (to smack the stress out), my cell phone, and the remote to the built-in DVD player. I have not gone to the actual working out phase yet in my driving, but that is a good idea!

Is it officially summer for your family? It is for Is it officially summer for your family? It is for ours! ☀️Thomas finished his last day of high school and Emily is home from college for a bit so it’s summer in our house. 🙌🏼 We kicked off our summer at a @nationals game that included a win with 3 home runs! ⚾️ This year I’m joining @lashawnwiltz in 15 seconds of summer, sharing 15 seconds from my days so at the end, I can look back and remember the great things we did as a family before Thomas heads to college in the fall. 😢 Join in the fun by recording and sharing 15 seconds of your summer days and use the hashtag #fifteensecondsofsummer.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came wit When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came with many things we didn’t love like rotted porch boards, 1 bathroom, and peeling paint (inside and out!) but it also came with things we did love like old, mature trees, crazy shaped boxwood bushes, and these spectacular peonies! 🌸 Every year when they bloom I’m so glad that these beauties conveyed with the purchase of our house and I’m glad we rebuilt our porch so we can step out our front door to admire them in their glory! 🩷#peonies #peonyseason #garden #blooms #spring
As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
