Thanks to everyone who confessed to their snacking transgressions in last week’s Blog Blast! Not only did we get to commiserate about the inherent temptation of Pop-Tarts, but there were some pretty healthy options suggested too.
Congratulations to our lucky winners - Locking Up the Snacks! Help! at Every Mother Is a Working Mother, and Teddy Grahams Were Sent from God (is that the greatest title or what?!) at Gabby’s Gab. They’ll each receive groceries for a month (a $250 value) and free Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps and Potato Crisps!
Email us to claim your prizes, ladies!

For this coming weekend, participate in our latest Blog Blast: “Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees:”
We’ve all tried getting through a trip to the store without our kids begging us to buy them something. In an age of instant gratification where kids are surrounded by excess at every turn, it’s becoming harder to show our kids financial responsibility and the value of the good old hard earned dollar.
So we’d love to know: When did you (or when will you) teach your kids about money, and how did you (or how will you) do it?
This week, we’re working with Capital One to get the word out about managing family finances. Along with national consumer advocacy group Consumer Action, they’ve launched a new online interactive Moneywi$e eLearning tool to help families learn about money management skills, including talking to kids about money. If you haven’t yet figured out how to handle this topic with your kids, this tool is a great place to start!
Here’s how to participate:
Write a post on your blog about how and when to teach kids about money. Post anytime this weekend - Friday, September 12 to Sunday, September 14 and include links to
http://www.capitalone.com/financialeducation/cbt/launcher.htm
and http://blog.parentbloggers.com.
Make sure to send your blog post link to parentbloggers@gmail.com and we’ll round them up here on PBN - so give your post a creative title!
What can you win?
Hold onto your hats, people. We’ve got THREE iPhones* to give away at random from among all participating bloggers.**
Posts must be at least 300 words, newly written original content (no pulling from your archives), and only one post per blogger.
*Voice/data service plan NOT included.
**Canadians are eligible to post and win, but please note that Capital One and the Moneywi$e eLearning tool conform to US banking regulations and may not be applicable under Canadian law.
We’re looking forward to your posts!
