What Type of Back To School Parent Are You? Seattle's Best Coffee Survival Kit Giveaway

Disclosure: I received a Seattle's Best Coffee Parent's Only Survival Kit in exchange for this post. All opinions are mine alone.

It's back to school central here on the ol' blog. We have been in serious back to school mode for the past two weeks. It's all I can blab about but with 4 kids in school, it's all I really know! Between getting up early, breakfast, dropping kids off, working 9-5, picking kids up from school, chauffeuring them around to extra-curriculars, back home to dinner and homework, I am beat! I always wondered if every other parent is like me but first I had to figure out what that was. To uncover how real everyday parents are approaching the Back to Schools season, Seattle's Best Coffee has partnered with Buzzfeed to launch the "How Do You Back to School?" quiz and content series. I found this fun quiz on there and to nobody's surprise I am a "Snoozer!" parent!!



I always hit the snooze button three or four times therefore I am always late waking up the kids. We rush through our morning routines and make it to school with just seconds to spare before the bell rings. I j ust can't get it together! Back to school is as nerve-wracking for parents as it is for kids so I am eternally grateful for the Parent's Only Back to School Kit I received from Seattle's Best Coffee! They are my lifesavers!


Isn't is amazing? It has all the goodies I need to be ready for everything back to school entails. They even sent me Toasted Hazelnut coffee!! Can you imagine all the yummy coffee to be had? Now, why am I bragging about my survival kit? Well, because the amazing people at Seattle's Best Coffee want you to know what you can win if you enter the giveaway below!

Parent's Only Back to School Survival Kit ($115 value) includes:

- a canvas backpack with a side pocket for your to-go coffee tumbler
- a signature red Seattle's Best Coffee oversized mug
- a to-go coffee tumbler
- a notebook to keep track of family activities
- a Tile app (handy for the lost key morning problem)
- a magnetic dry erase weekly planner
- three varieties of Seattle's Best Coffee



Don't forget to take the quiz and come back and tell me what type of morning parent you are!!

3rd Annual Summer Must-Haves for Mom Event

Hi everyone! I am so thrilled to be participating in one of my favorite giveaways ever: the Summer Must-Haves for Mom event! This giveaway and linky highlights MOMS!! Be sure to link up all your DIY ideas, crafts, roundups and reviews of products for moms below and make sure to enter the giveaway for one of four prizes!! Also, you get a bonus entry if you subscribe to my blog!!


Welcome!! Can you believe we're back for a third #SummerMustHaves event?! I'll tell you...the first year we did this, it was small potatoes. But it was crazy fun to do a little something just for mamas. Since that inaugural giveaway (also our first giveaway ever...we do it big around here!), we've only grown, and this year's even promises to be EPIC. Not only have we increased our grand prize count to FOUR huge prize bundles, we've got some killer co-hosts, a link up for all things mama and summer-centric, and some really awesome sponsors. As if that's not enough, we are bringing you two weeks of fun across twelve blogs! You read that right folks...for the next two weeks, we're bringing you summer related product reviews, DIYs, how-tos, freebies, games, chats and more!

Over the course of the two week event, we're going to be featuring tons of your work, so be sure to grab a Summer Must Haves button and link back if you want us to show off your work! The rules: No linkups or giveaways. For this event only, we WILL allow roundups.

And now, because you've been so patient, we're going to really give up the goods...keep reading to find out the deets on this year's prize bundles! This year, instead of just tossing some of our faves into a tote, we decided to have a little fun with it. Each bundle is themed this year, based on the type of mama you are, or the type of mama you might want to be. We plan to keep the full details under wraps, because who couldn't use more happy surprises?-- But we'll share the pics so you have some idea!

Child Passenger Safety Week & a $100 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!


Did you know that motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children age 1 to 13 in the USA? The fatality rate could be reduced by about half if the correct child safety seat were always used.
                               #TheRightSeat

 Bloggin' Mamas is supporting the Ad Council and The Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by sharing the word about Child Passenger Safety Week this week (September 14-20). One of the goals of Child Passenger Safety Week is to encourage parents and caregivers to visit SaferCar.gov/TheRightSeatResources o Installation Resources: If a car seat is not installed correctly, your child's safety could be in danger. Every car seat has different installation instructions. You can find resources and tips here to help you get “the right fit” on your car seats: http://www.safercar.gov/parents/RightFit.htmFree Car Seat Checks: During Child Passenger Safety Week, there will be more than 600 events in 45 states across the country, where certified child passenger safety technicians will inspect car seats and show parents and caregivers how to correctly install and use them. In most cases, this service is free of charge. Locate a car seat check event here: http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm?Car Seat Safety Tips:
  • Find a car seat that fits your child. As children grow, how they sit in your car will change. Make sure the car seat you purchase is designed to fit your child’s current size and age.
  • Not all car seats fit in all vehicles so test the car seat you plan to buy to make sure it fits well in your vehicle.
  • Before putting your child in a car seat, read the manufacturer’s instructions so you know how your car seat works.
  • All-in-One car seats offer you the advantage of using the same seat for the following positions: rear-facing, forward-facing with harness, then booster. These seats typically have higher height and weight limits for the rear-facing position, allowing you to keep your child rear-facing for a longer period of time.
  • Remember, the best car seat is the one that fits your child properly, is easy to use, and fits in your vehicle correctly. The information here can help you choose the right seat for your child. Keep in mind that:
Your child under age 1 should always ride in a rear-facing car seat. Children ages 1-3 should be kept rear-facing as long as possible. Keep your child in the back seat at least through age 12. Be certain you've installed your car seat correctly by having it checked at an inspection station or by a certified child passenger safety technician. Bring the Car Seat Instructions AND the Vehicle Owner’s Manual with you to a seat check appointment! Check out this Infograph to help you check if you have #TheRightSeat and join @NHTSAgov on 9/17/14 from 3p-4p EST for a Twitter Chat where you can ask questions you might have about your car seat.
  Free blogger signup

And to make sure you have #TheRightSeat, Bloggin' Mamas is giving away a $100 Amazon giftcard so you can buy one!

Giveaway begins September 17th, 2014 at 12:01 am and ends October 1st, 2014 at 11:59 pm EST. Open to US residents age 18 and older. Winner will be selected by Random.org and be notified by email.
