Help Save the Polar Bears with Coca-Cola! Review and giveaway

I love Polar Bears! They're so big and fluffy, they really look like gentle giants swimming around in the ocean. But sadly the polar bears need our help protecting their homes in the Arctic.

Since polar bears have been part of Coca-Cola tradition since 1922, they are taking action and partnering with World Wildlife Fund for a campaign called “Arctic Home.” Together Coca-Cola and WWF will raise awareness and funds to help create a safe haven for the polar bear.

Coca-Cola has made a commitment to helping the WWF and polar bear habitat preservation by donating an initial $2 million and matching donations through March—up to $1 million. To have Coca-Cola match your donation, simply text the code on specially-marked Arctic Home packages to 357357. You can also make donations online at ArcticHome.com. Each donation accompanied by a code from specially-marked packages will not only be matched, but a designated parcel of the virtual Arctic Home refuge will be donated in your name on the site.

As part of the Arctic Home Campaign, Coca-Cola is offering one of my lovely readers a Polar Pack. We were recently sent one and we love it. Including a super fuzzy blanket, two adorable stuffed polar bears, a cute polar beat hat with attached mittens, 3-D puzzle, ice cube tray, and even a cookie cutter, this Polar Pack has been a hit with my boys. They love sleeping with their new polar bears and I especially love the super soft, fuzzy blanket!

DIY Shape Sorting Game for toddlers/preschoolers


One of my (many) New Year's Resolutions is to make Life With Two Boys a little more fun and exciting... So along with my regular product reviews and giveaways I'm going to be sneaking in the occasional recipes, arts & crafts, family fun, educational, etc.. posts as well!

To start off this new adventure I wanted to post this super easy DIY toddler/preschooler sorting game. I found these little foam shapes in the dollar bins at Target a few months ago and thought they were perfect for helping Trevor with his shapes and colors, and I was right! Since he is doing so well with them I wanted to branch out and make something a little more challenging for him.

So what did I come up with? A shape sorting game using the $1 foam blocks (I bought 2 sets) and paper plates. I took a couple paper plates and traced each shape onto 1 of the plates... For some reason these sets only come with 4 shapes (circle, square, heart, and star) so we ended up with 4 paper plates in all. Then I lay the plates out with all the shapes in a pile so Trevor can sort them putting the stars onto the star plate, etc... He thought this was the best game ever!

Not only are these little shapes perfect for sorting, but they're also great for making patterns, stacking, and just about anything else you can think of!

Mr. Chewy Website Review


Having two kids it's so much easier to do most of my shopping online. Whether it's new clothes, toys for the boys birthdays, jewelry for myself, or even household products, if it's available online most likely that's where I'm buying it. These days we usually only go to the store for groceries or pet supplies.

Well when I was contacted by Mr. Chewy about doing a website review I was super excited. I never really thought about buying our pet supplies online but it certainly makes sense. No more lugging 30 lb. bags of dog food or 20 lbs. of cat litter to the car. Thanks to Mr. Chewy you can have those ridiculously heavy things shipped right to your door.

Not familiar with Mr. Chewy? They're basically your one stop shop for all your pet supply needs! Carrying everything from dog and cat food, cat litter, treats, puppy house training pads, and even flea & tick medicine, Mr. chewy has everything you need for your pets. And with over 70+ brands, they're (almost) sure to have the brands you use in your house! I say almost because I was a little disappointed that they don't carry our brand of cat food (Purina Cat Chow).
