Take Your Family To The Movies Free!

What was the last movie that your family went to see in theaters? For us it was Madagascar 3! The girls love to go to the theater, but with a family of 5 it is more of a special occasion than a regular way to watch a movie.
General Mills, with select Big G cereals, has a great promotion going on to make it a little easier to have a family night out! If you buy any two specially marked boxes of cereal, you can enter the codes to redeem for a free movie ticket. The free movie promotion is valid from 11/08/2012 through 12/06/2013.
Some of the participating cereals are Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahams, and Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs. I don't know about you, but my family eats a lot of cereal, so I am really liking this!!

Here is how it works ~ you buy the specially marked cereals and enter the codes on this web page and for every two codes you enter, print your Movie Cash certificate good for 1 ticket, up to $12! To find a participating theater in your area, click here.

~*~ How would you like to get a jump start on those movie tickets? General Mills and MyBlogSpark are offering a prize pack to one of you that includes 1 box of a participating cereal and 2 free movie tickets! So you will be half way to your third free movie ticket - sounds like a family night coming soon ;)

Safeway & Betty Crocker Holiday Cookies {{Review & Giveaway}}

I love to bake, especially when it is something that my girls can help with!

We have a ton of cookie cutters and have wanted to be able to use them. Unfortunately, I have not had much success with sugar cookie recipes.

I was sent a holiday cookie exchange package from My Blog Spark which included Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix, a set of Glad deep dish containers, and a $25 Safeway gift card. I was pretty excited to try the sugar cookie mix! After some discussion, my daughters decided that we should make thumbprint cookies with the mix -- the recipe/directions are on the package.

It was so easy and so much fun. This was definitely something that we could all do together (myself, a 4 year old and a 2 year old) each step of the way. The cookies turned out great and it was so simple!
I haven't used a mix in a long time to make cookies, but using the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix eliminated all of the measuring and a lot of the mess that comes with baking without taking the fun away. Now that we have made the thumbprint cookies, and had a good time (and built up a little trust with Betty Crocker mixes, lol) we will be going back to Safeway with our gift card to purchase another pack and try our luck with the cookie cutters!! The gladware is perfect for storing the cookies, as it holds a lot and is air tight.

Everything that you need to have a fun baking day can be found at Safeway!! And My Blog Spark, Betty Crocker, Gladware, and Safeway have graciously offered to give one lucky reader the same package that I received!!

This giveaway will close on Jan 28, 2011 - just in time for some Valentine's Day baking! Open to legal residents of the USA who are 18+ years old!
