Join Gymboree and KaBOOM! in Supporting Active Play for Kids #HopNRoll

We received a gift card to shop Gymboree's Hop 'N' Roll Spring line and was provided with another gift card to give away.  All opinions expressed are solely my own.

It took awhile, but Spring has finally sprung here in New England.  The joy on our children's faces to be able to play outside in the sun without a winter coat and snow boots was priceless.  We're lucky that our townhouse community has a vast courtyard and we live within walking distance of a park.  In fact, our town has more parks than I can count on one hand.  We are truly fortunate!

Active play is important for all children.  That's why Gymboree has partnered with KaBOOM! to build places to play for 10,000 kids this year.  This non-profit organization specializes in providing opportunities and places for children to enjoy active play, especially those in poverty-stricken communities.  In addition to providing programs and activities through their Play & Music centers, Gymboree also supports this cause by doing what they do best, which is to create playground-friendly, stylish, and fun clothing for children and tweens.

In early April, Gymboree launched its Hop 'N' Roll playwear line!  This line captures the spirit of Springtime play with it's colorful, fun, and comfortable mix and match pieces for both boys and girls.  Through May 31st, Gymboree will be donating a percentage of the proceeds from in-store and online sales of this fun-loving collection.

Your children will love picking out their fave Hop 'N' Roll pieces, while supporting a worthy cause!  Ours did . . . 

Featuring the Gymboree Hop 'n' Roll Flutter Sleeve Stripe Dress and Neon Leggings, the Hello Happy Canvas Tote Bag, and the Polar Pink Pom-Pom Heart Bracelet

Our daughter is quite the girly-girl despite having two brothers.  She loves to look stylish, but will only opt for clothing and shoes that won't get in the way of her jump roping, playground fun, and keeping up with the boys in a game of tag at recess.

Featuring the Gymboree Hop 'n' Roll Intergalactic Pizza Delivery Tee, Slate Grey Pull-on Shorts, and Marled Trim Pullover (shown in bottom photo)

For our two boys, it's all about cool graphics and comfort!  Gymboree's Hop 'N' Roll collection for boys offers a variety of graphic tees and easy-to-wear pull-on shorts.

Featuring the Gymboree Hop 'n' Roll Skateboard Rhino Tee and Slate Grey Pull-on Shorts

We did choose some pieces from other Gymboree collections to complete the look for my daughter's flutter tee and skirt outfit, such as bike shorts to make the skirt more monkey bar-friendly, an adorable canvas tote bag, and some cute bracelets that matched her outfit perfectly.  That's what I love about Gymboree!  You can mix and match between collections, between seasons, and even between years!

Featuring the Gymboree Hop 'n' Roll I'm a Cool Cat Flutter Tee and Neon Painted Dot Skirt, the Everyday Favorites White Bike Shorts (hidden), the Polar Pink Pom-Pom Heart Bracelet, and the Mod About Orange Striped Bead Bracelet

Shop the Hop 'N' Roll collection from now thru May 31st, 2015 to help Gymboree and KaBOOM! raise enough money to build play spaces for 10,000 deserving children in communities across the U.S.  Which Hop 'N' Roll item is your favorite?

3G2S Turned 7! Let's Celebrate with 'Gifts That Give!' from UNICEF Market!

Thank you to UNICEF Market for providing a gift code for us to shop and for providing an additional gift code for our giveaway prize.  All opinions expressed are my own.

This March, 3G2S turned 7!  Since I am now a part time blogger and have far less time to write, I have to make each post count.  That's why this blogoversary seems like the perfect opportunity to share the new sister site to Novica.com, UNICEF Market, with 3G2S readers.

As you may have noticed over the years, I have a soft spot for triple garnet silver jewelry.  I love wearing it to represent my three January babies.  That's why I absolutely fell in love with the Garnet and Sterling Silver 'Waterfall' Necklace I found on UNICEF Market.  This necklace was handcrafted by an artisan named Carmen Granados from the Andes in Peru and displays three round garnets in a graceful, yet modern design.

To make UNICEF Market jewelry even more special, each piece comes in a drawstring jewelry pouch and is accompanied by an artisan storycard, which allowed me to learn a little bit about the woman in Peru who created my necklace.  Every UNICEF Market purchase is packed with a postcard with a handwritten thank you.  In addition to all these special touches, you can feel good about giving artisan-made gifts because, not only are you supporting the artisan, but you are also helping UNICEF save and protect children in impoverished areas around the world.  Each product page gives you an example of how your purchase could benefit children.  For example, the purchase of this necklace may have provided 18 doses of measles vaccine to vulnerable children.

I have to admit, I love giving 'gifts that give' as much as I love receiving them.  While shopping for myself on UNICEF Market, I began looking for Mother's Day gift ideas for my mother, grandmother, and sister.  On the top of my list so far are the beautiful scarves and shawls, plus some of the ornate hand carved jewelry boxes.

Thinking of shopping UNICEF Market for your next gift purchase?  Each gift purchase comes with a free greeting card containing your gift message plus there is the option to upgrade to Premium Gift Boxes for jewelry purchases.  For each item, you can click on "Delivery Estimate" to find the cost of shipping (which is surprisingly affordable) and the approximate number of business days it will take the item to travel from its point of origin to your front door.

Hand Out Smiles This Halloween, While Supporting the Dave Thomas Foundation For Adoption #Frosty4Adoption

About three months ago, we met an amazing little boy.  We had the pleasure of meeting this boy because he was to become our new nephew and a new cousin to our children.  You see, my sister and brother-in-law are currently in the process of adopting.  It is a long and difficult process, but I know they feel it is worth it.  This little boy has already stolen their hearts.  Thinking about what this little boy has been through over the past year or so is quite saddening.  However, thinking about how he is so close to not only having a home with loving parents, but also aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and great-grandparents who all love him too, is extremely heartwarming.

Did you know that there are more than 100,000 children in foster care awaiting adoption? I find that statistic to be astounding and can't help but think about how many children will never be placed in loving homes.  This is why it's so important to support foster care adoption and why Wendy's makes it easy for you to take action. All you have to do is Purchase a Wendy’s® Halloween Coupon Book for $1 at participating Wendy’s restuarants!

The next time you stop into Wendy's or go through their drive-thru, perhaps to try one of their new Pulled Pork Sandwiches, remember to pick up one (or more) Halloween coupon books.  They're only $1 each and contain 10 coupons for a free Jr. Frosty™. Ninety cents of every $1 Halloween Coupon Book sold between September 13 – October 31, 2014 will benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®.

Do you love gifts that give like I do? Last year, one of our children's teachers gave each of her students a  Jr. Frosty™ Halloween coupon for Halloween.  They'd be perfect to hand out to trick-or-treaters in place of or tied to a lollipop or other type of candy.  You could even buy one coupon book for each stocking you have to stuff this Holiday.  If you like any of these ideas or have some ideas of your own, don't wait to pick up your coupon books.  They're only available until the end of October, but can be redeemed from November 1st, 2014 through February 1st, 2015.  Thanks to Wendy’s® consumers and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®, 4,000+ children have found adoptive families.  Let's all do our part in helping to make that number grow!

Visit your local Wendy’s® to purchase a Jr. Frosty™ Halloween Coupon Book* for $1, which benefits the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®! 

*Coupon book may contain coupons for 5 or 10 free Jr. Frosty™ treats. Prices and participation may vary. Ninety cents to every $1 coupon booklet sold between 9/15/14 and 10/31/14 will benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. Coupons valid from 11/1/14 through 2/1/15. ©2014 Oldemark LLC

Share a Photo of Something Good for Charity to Support Proper Eye Care for Children! (#EyeSawGood #MC)

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Alcon. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. All opinions expressed are my own.

I got my first pair of glasses when I was 9 years old and my husband got his when he was 6.  Now two of our three children wear glasses at the ages of 6 and 9.  We are lucky that our children's school administers eye exams because, unless a child is squinting often during class, any vision problems can easily be overlooked.  Our 6 year old son already struggles with learning, so it was imperative that we not add unclear vision to his list of obstacles.  I know first hand how costly it is to buy glasses for children, especially when you need to keep one pair at home and one pair at school.  I shudder to think how many families are unable to provide proper eye care for their children even after a vision problem has been identified.

Through Alcon's #EyeSawGood campaign, you can help to raise up to $50,000 to go towards providing eye exams and glasses to children of families in need across the United States.  All you need to do is share a photo of something you deem as good on Twitter using the hashtag #EyeSawGood to prompt a $1 donation from Alcon to this worthy cause.

Pass Along an Allstate Foundation #PurplePurse to Raise Awareness & Funds to Fight Against Domestic Violence

This post has been written as part of a sponsored campaign for MomSelct.  All opinions expressed are my own.

The statistic that 1 in 4 women are affected by domestic violence in their lifetime is both astonishing and horrifying.  That is why I love that the Allstate Foundation's Purple Purse initiative has made it so easy for people like you and me to make a difference.

How does it work?  All you need to do is register your Purple Purse code on www.PurplePurse.com along with your zip code (no personal information required) and Allstate donates $5 to the YMCA to assist victims of domestic violence.  I received a Purple Purse, which contained a purse code and information cards about how to recognize and talk about domestic violence, to pass along in my community.  After I registered the purse code, I passed it along to another parent at the taekwondo studio where my children study.  Then she in turn passed it along to someone else after she registered the code.  Each time the purse code is registered by someone else, another $5 donation is made, which can add up very quickly.

What if you don't have a Purple Purse?  You can visit PurplePurse.com to grab a virtual purse code to pass along.  All you need to do is take the initiative to do it and pass it along to someone else.  You would be surprised how willing people will be to participate because Allstate makes it so easy to do so.

After you've registered your purse code and passed it on, you can track your Purple Purse (real or virtual) right on the Purple Purse website by typing in the purse code.  It's very interesting to see where your purse has traveled, especially a virtual one.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so be sure to grab a virtual Purple Purse code and pass it on before the end of the month.  To learn more about this Allstate Foundation Project, visit www.PurplePurse.com (www.bolsomorado.com in Spanish) or Purple Purse on Facebook.

For the 13th Year, the Office Depot Foundation National Backpack Program Equips Children in Need for Back-to-School

Thank you to the Office Depot Foundation for providing sample products for us to donate to our elementary school community.  All opinions expressed are my own.

I've share about the Office Depot Foundation National Backpack Program during previous years and am happy to report that 300,000 backpacks will be provided to children in need for this back-to-school season.  I am always happy to support a retailer who gives back to the community, especially when it is in support of education because every child deserves an equal chance at succeeding in school.

To tell you the truth, when I think about charitable programs that support education, I always think they are doing good somewhere.  I don't associate such programs with my own community because our school is not a high-poverty school.  After a brief conversation with our school principal, however, I learned that there are many families in our school who cannot afford to buy basic school supplies for their children.  How can a child succeed in school without writing utensils, notebooks, and something with which to carry their books back and forth?  My family is quite far from being wealthy, so I am very conscious of how much it costs to equip 3 children with everything they need to start off a new school year.  I am very thankful to be able to donate 3 sackpacks complete with filled pencil cases, provided by the Office Depot Foundation, to our school.  Hopefully they will make going to school a little bit easier for 3 children this fall.

4 Tips for Getting Ready for Back-to-School On a Budget & How to Help Others Get Ready Too!

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Last year, was the first year I had children in 3 different classrooms because our twins were in the same classroom during preschool.  I have to say that I was a little bit flustered because I had a different list of school supplies and wishlist items from each class.  I could not believe how much I spent after all was said and done.  This year, I feel like an old pro compared to last year.  I had everything done for back-to-school 3 weeks early and now I can enjoy the last few weeks of summer vacation with my children.

If you are a little stressed out about the amount of items on your child's back-to-school list or about the total cost of those items, here are few tips on how to cut down on spending . . .

1.  Shop for clothing, outerwear, and shoes in advance.  Since I shop for children's clothes in the next size up during end-of-the-season sales, I usually have a good supply of fall clothes for each of my 3 children.  Then I just need to take advantage of the back-to-school sales to fill in the holes in each child's wardrobe.  If you are buying boots in advance, then I would buy 2 sizes up so that they will last from fall through the end of the winter.

2.  Reuse last year's school supplies.  Even though it seems nice to have everything brand new for the start of the school year, there is no reason why your child cannot use last year's backpack, lunch box, pencil box, pencils, pens, highlighters, crayons, markers, poly folders, etc . . . again if they are still in good condition.  On the same note, a younger sibling can use an older sibling's previous backpack or lunch box that may be too childish looking now that he or she is older.  The cost of school supplies can really add up, especially when you have more than one child.

3.  Buy school supplies in bulk or multi-packs.  You can buy school supplies at office supply stores or at warehouse stores in large quantities and then split them up between your children.  Purchasing this way is usually a better value.  You can also do the same thing for classroom donations.  If you only have one child, you can put the excess supplies away for next year.  Examples of things you can buy in bulk are yellow pencils, ballpoint pens, glue sticks, 2-pocket portfolios, safety scissors, disinfecting wipes, paper towels, boxed facial tissue, and hand sanitizer.

4.  Invest in reusable bottles and food containers.  You probably already know that the cost of bottled water, aluminum foil, and sandwich bags can add up quickly.  Buying reusable water bottles, snack containers, and sandwich or lunch containers will help to save money in the long run (and it's better for the environment).  If you are good about washing these items daily, then you will only need two sets . . . one to use and one as a spare in case your child forgets their lunch box at school.  Just be sure to label all your child's bottles and food containers so that they do not accidentally go missing.

Unfortunately for some families, doing the above does not make getting ready for back-to-school affordable enough.  I know such families exist in my children's grade school community and they likely do in yours as well.  That is why I love the idea of an online school supply drive!

Once again this year, the Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) has teamed up with Disney to run an online supply drive.  To participate, it costs you nothing but your time.  All you need to do is play the Supply Drive Game, a multiple choice trivia type game.  For every 5 questions you answer correctly, a school supply kit will be donated to a child in need who is a member of the BGCA.  It literally took me less than 2 minutes to answer 5 questions correctly, so if you devote 20 minutes of your time to playing this game, 10 club kids could each receive a school supply kit because you cared.

Since the age of 10, Lulu Cerone has been a mentor to young children after having raised over $4,000 for the earthquake victims in Haiti.  She did this by organizing a full-scale school-wide fundraiser, while being inspired and encouraged by her mother, Lisa Cerone, the entire way.  That's how the LemonAID Warriors and philanthro-parties were born.

Fast-forward 4 years, the now 14 year old Lulu has joined forces with the ever-popular Mattel brand Monster High to inspire tweens to participate in the Ghouls Helping Ghouls initiative and to enter to win a $1,000 Skullership for their favorite charity by throwing a philanthro-party!  Lulu even allowed herself to be transformed into the Monster High character Boo-Lu Cerone.  Watch the video below to learn more about Lulu, Ghouls Helping Ghouls, philanthro-parties, and the Ghouls Helping Ghouls Skullership . . .

CampusBookRentals Supports Operation Smile With Their "Making A Difference Program"

Earlier this year, I shared about an Operation Smile Facebook campaign led by SwimWays.  Well, you should know that there are many retailers who support Operation Smile.  Operation Smile is an international medical charity that performs reconstructive surgery on children with congenital facial deformities, most commonly children born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate.  By donating a portion of the precedes from their sales, retailers (and their customers) are able to support this worthy cause.  CampusBookRentals, an online textbook rental program, is one such retailer.

For the second year in a row, CampusBookRentals had chosen Operation Smile to benefit from their Making a Difference Program.  If you know someone who is enrolled in college or is taking college courses, make sure to tell them about CampusBookRentals.  Not only does this retailer rent nearly every text book available with free shipping both ways, they also offer referral bonuses to students and a Textbook Scholarship Program.  You can learn more about all these programs by visiting CampusBookRentals.com.

Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA), Disney, and JCPenney Team Up for a Better Back-to-School for Our Children

Last night I was able to go out and buy the last of the items on my children's school supplies lists given to us by their soon-to-be teachers.  If you can believe it, I had 5 lists between our 3 children.  Some of the things on the lists were just common sense items, like a backpack for instance.  Other things were very specific, like liquid hand soap in a pump and large glue sticks.  It always amazes me how one class' list can differ so much from another's.  Still, I don't mind picking up these things throughout the summer, if it means that the teachers will need to spend less of their own money to have the basics for their classrooms.

As I was packing the school supplies up into separate bags for each classroom, I started to think about how some families cannot even afford to buy their children backpacks or lunchboxes, never mind all these other supplies in front of me, like antibacterial wipes and gallon-size food storage bags, none of which are inexpensive.  That is why I think the combined effort between Boys and Girls Club of America, Disney, and JCPenney to make going back-to-school a better experience for less fortunate children is such an admirable one.  How can you help?  Here are two easy ways . . .

1.  Visit bgca.org and play the Tools For Back to School "Supply Drive Game" sponsored by Disney.  All you need to do is answer 5 trivia questions correctly about BGCA and school supplies will be donated to a child member of the club.  The questions are multiple choice and, if you get one wrong, it let's you try that question again.  This costs you nothing, but 2 or 3 minutes of your time.

(Click any image to enlarge)

2.  When you shop at your local JCPenney during the month of August, support JCP Cares in benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of America by rounding up your purchase.  What does that mean?  All you need to do is round up your purchase total to the nearest dollar and the difference will be donated to BGCA.  For example, if your purchase total comes to $39.50, when you opt to round up, your new total will be $40.00 and $.50 will be donated towards this worthy cause.  You may think a little change does not sound like much, but when it is combined with a little change from thousands of shoppers, it can add up to quite a lot.

You can learn more about both these initiatives by visiting bcga.org.  While you're there, remember to checkout the useful back-to-school tips for parents and students, such as these tips about how to make homework time a more organized, positive, stress-free experience for both you and your child . . .

Back-to-School: Office Depot Will Donate 400,000 Sackpacks to Students in 2012

Every child needs a school bag to carry their books home from school, right?  Well, you may be surprised to learn that there are children in the U.S. who carry their lunches and books to school in plastic grocery bags because their families just cannot afford to or have simply neglected to buy backpacks for them.  In fact, there are enough children in this situation for the Office Depot Foundation to donate approximately 400,000 brand new sackpacks towards this cause in 2012 alone and an astounding 2.5 million backpacks over the first 11 years of their National Backpack Program.

The backpack program is only one of several socially responsible philanthropic programs organized or supported by the Office Depot Foundation, including efforts towards disaster relief and recovery.  You can learn about these efforts, how to get involved by volunteering, and how to make a charitable donation by visiting www.OfficeDepotFoundation.org and Office Depot Foundation on Facebook.

As always, I am proud to be a customer of a retailer that makes such a huge effort to give back and whose efforts benefit children.  Office Depot will definitely be one of my stops for back-to-school shopping this year.

Stylish Cupcake Tutu Tank by Tutu Pour Mon Deux

Our daughter first experienced Tutu Pour Mon Deux when she was 3 years old.  She was so sad when she outgrew her Boston Red Sox tutu tank.  Needless to say, she was thrilled to have a chance to wear another tutu tank by the same Massachusetts-based family owned company.  She was even more excited when she found out that she could design the tutu tank herself.

In addition to offering an adorable product and being based in my home state, I love supporting Tutu Pour Mon Deux because this company donates 1/3 (that's HUGE) of its proceeds to Children's Hospital Boston.  Visit TutuPourMonDeux.com to read about how the wonderful doctors at Children's Hospital saved one of the precious members of their family.  How could I not admire a company who gives back in such a generous way?

(Click any photo to enlarge)

If you know a little girl who enjoys fashion design or likes to spend time on FashionPlaytes.com, then she will love creating a tutu shirt or a tutu tank online.  The one our 5 year old daughter ended up with looks nothing like the one she started with.  She thoroughly enjoyed the design process, especially since the design page is so user-friendly for someone who cannot quite read yet.

As you can see in the photos, these shirts are created by hand, with iron on appliques and sewn on organza tutus with a ribbon trim.  Our daughter currently takes a size 5/6.  The Size 7 tutu tank is slightly large on her, but that works out great.  I am hoping this shirt will fit her for two whole years just like the last one.  These tanks are machine washable in cold water (turned inside-out) and do not shrink if they are laid flat to dry.

Too bad our daughter's birthday has already passed because this cupcake tutu tank would be perfect for a birthday girl to wear.  She did wear this shirt to school to show it off and received one compliment after another from her girlfriends, teachers, and the other parents.

To see all the fun choices for designing your own tutu shirt or tank, visit www.tutupourmondeux.com.  Personally, I love the monkey and the black cat applique.  For a limited time, you can receive Free Shipping when you checkout using Code: HEART.  If you do end up shopping, I would love to know what you chose for your tutu shirt.


Thank you to Tutu Pour Mon Deux for providing a complimentary product sample for us to base this review upon.
