Campbells Chunky Soup/All Pro Dad Review and Giveaway


Hey All! My question for you is.... Has your husband taken The Pledge?

I was contacted about doing a review for Campbell's Chunky soup with them teaming up with All Pro Dad. To be honest at first I was not sure what it was all about or if hubby would cooperate enough to do it. But it's been great! The more I researched and the more I found stuff out the better it got! We were over nighted two boxes of goodies! One for me to keep and review and one for a lucky winner. That's right someone is going to win this Awesome prize!

In our box we found:
A Chunky folder- with tons of information
The Mentor Leader- hardcover book by Tony Dungy
Beef & Dumplings with Hearty Vegetables
Hearty Tomato Soup with Pasta
Italian Style Wedding

At first I was utterly confused as to it all. But our information booklet explained it all! In 1997 with the help of Tony Dungy, then the head coach of the 2006 Super Bowl Champions the Indianapolis Colts. All Pro Dad gives men the resources they need including the encouragement to help them become better fathers. All Pro Dad was built on a football theme that features over 50 NFL players, coaches, and alumni who speak out the importance of being a good father.

The All Prod Dad model is a simple one to follow: It asks men to give ONE minute a day, ONE hour a month, and ONE day a year to become a better father.
  • One Minute a day is to read your Play of the Day email ~It is recieved by more then 47,000 subscribers daily, it has now become the most widely read fatherhood email in the world. Men can sign up to this free daily email at AllProDad.com
  • One Hour a month is to start or attend an All Pro Dad's Day Breakfast... WITH their children! ~There are currently 931 All Pro Dad's Day Chapters at publics schools in 48 states. It is in nine different countries were more than 40,000 fathers and their kids gather on a regular basis to discuss topics together. Like peer pressure, goal setting, and caring the less fortunate. They are held in partnership with the National PTA, They also give you everything needed to start or run a chapter at AllProDad.com
  • One Day a year to take part in the All Pro Dad Father & Kids Experience ~ Held at NFL Venues nationwide, the Father & Kids Experience is an event filled with bonding, football and tons of fun! The All Pro Dad Father & Kids Experience has hosted more than 50,000 fathers and kids in over 50 of these unique events since 2002 in 20 different NFL sites. This event provides a fun and unique experience while passing along practical fatherhood advice at these sold out events. The Father & Kids Experience also made its debut in college football in 2009, with events that were hosted by the University of Georgia's Mark Richt, and Florida State University's Bobby Bowden.
AllProDad.com is a great website featuring a online blog from Tony Dungy called Dungy's Diary. You can also find link's to follow Dungy on Facebook and Twitter. They have All Pro Dad Team Roasters featuring members such as active NFL players, coaches, and retired NFL standouts. They have team members bios and tons of information useful to even mothers!

As of today we have only sampled two of the three soups we were sent. Today the kids and I shared The Hearty Tomato with Pasta. It was delicious! A little bit thicker tomato soup with some very yummy pasta and tomato chunks in it. The kids ate 90% of it alone! The other day my husband had the Beef & Dumplings with Hearty Vegetables. I was only allowed one bite... He loved it. I wish I could explain more but it was very good! And the smell it put off was amazing. :)

Simply Made Review and Giveaway CLOSED


WINNER:
Anonymous said... 7
my fav is te red white and black bow..i commented heather wilbanks lhsguarddiva@yahoo.com



I recently won  a little set of clippees from Simply Made. She let me choose from ones she had done or would custom make me a set. I picked a set already made because I fell in love with them. They are adorable! Here is what we chose.
These actually stayed on the side of my daughters head for well over 2 hours that is until she decided that her babydoll should wear them. We have a hard time keeping things to stay in her hair because it's so fine still. They are adorable and very well made. Sometimes when buy bows you can see glue marks and I inspected these and not one! 

While going through the Simply Made fanpage I found some adorable items. Here are three of my favorites!

Bowtique Mama Review and Giveaway CLOSED

Winner!

Anonymous said... 25
I'm a fan of OCDCL. bjgdtg2003@yahoo.com



Last week I won a beautiful custom bow from Bowtique Mama. I was thrilled that she gave me the go ahead to do the review and giveaway! Even with Thanksgiving being last week I received my bow EXTREMELY fast. She was amazing to work with and it's beautiful! I got to pick out the colors and told her be creative. This bow is perfect for us!
 When I won I was allowed to pick the style and colors. I wanted to be surprised on the style but did ask to please do baby blue and brown. She delivered! This bow is so adorable!
Bowtique Mama makes all sorts of adorable bows! Here are a few pictures of more work of hers.
A little bit of info from Bowtique Mama:
My name is Crystal. I started making bows in 2006 when my first daughter was born, but was not doing it steadily until after the birth of my second daughter. After her birth, I made bows for a few months, then decided I wanted to try an sell them, so I started up Bowtique Mama in October of 2009. I love creating new bows and find that each creation gets better than the last. I pride myself on attention to detail and ensure long lasting quality with each bow. Thank you for taking the time to cruise my site and let me know if you have any bow needs! I also make flip flops and a few items for boys as well! :)
Sincerely,
Crystal
