Take The Stop & Shop Challenge This Summer!
Buy The National Brand and Get The Stop & Shop Brand Free
Now Through August 9th at Your Local @StopandShop. 
Stop & Shop is once again challenging customers to put their Own Brands products to the test this summer in the Buy Theirs, Get Ours Free Challenge. During the weeks of July 27 and August 3, and August 4-9th, when customers purchase selected national brand products, they will receive Stop & Shop Own Brands equivalent products for free! How awesome is that?

Our family already shops Stop & Shop, but I must admit that I do automatically grab for the national brand. This challenge has given me great insight into the Stop & Shop brand! This is a great opportunity for friends like me to check out the store brand vs. the national. By the way, my family has not complained once when offered the Stop & Shop brand!

Check out more about the brand and the sales going on right now at www.stopandshop.com. On average, customers can expect to save 10 – 35% by purchasing Stop & Shop Own Brands instead of the national brand. For customers who may want to try before they buy, all Stop & Shop stores will sample select Own Brand products in-store on the weekends.

All Stop & Shop Own Brands products are subject to a rigorous testing program, which includes customer feedback to ensure that the grocer is consistently delivering on quality and value. Based on this testing, hundreds of Own Brands products have been reformulated in the recent years to improve upon taste and quality, while still offering affordable prices. If a product doesn’t pass these testing requirements, it doesn’t go on a Stop & Shop shelf!

Walking With Dinosaurs
The Arena Spectacular
NOW at Prudential Center
Newark, NJ
From the very first time our family heard about Walking With Dinosaurs The Arena Spectacular we were
intrigued by the idea behind the show. Could it really be that good? That entertaining? YES!!!
Yes! This show is awesome, beyond awesome. From a mom’s standpoint, if you have a dinosaur fan in your house, this is definitely for you. From a former teacher’s standpoint, this show is amazing. They have managed to make it into a complete learning experience and your kids will never even know it. 
The show is narrated by a paleontologist who takes us though the complete era of dinosaurs.

I was completely floored by the amount of information presented throughout the show.
As for the fantasy of the show. Wow! You will absolutely not believe your eyes!
The dinosaurs are incredible. They walk and interact with their surroundings. The show is breathtaking for both children and adults. It’s a must do for any age. 
Who doesn’t want to be transported back to the age of dinosaurs? If Walking With Dinosaurs is coming to an arena near you, do not miss it! This is one that you do not want to let pass you by. The tickets are a little pricey but worth every single penny if you love dinosaurs.

#Giveaway ALEX Brands Has You Covered This Summer! Giveaway and Discount Code! @ALEXtoys

My Giant Busy Box
By ALEX Is A MUST!!
We Have One Just For You 
With Our Giveaway!
Summer is upon us! Actually I can hardly believe we are so far into July already. For the kids in our area school has been out for about a month. Many of the children in our town do not attend summer camps or day camps, so the parents and kids are looking for fun things to do to keep busy. My Giant Busy Box by ALEX has been a awesome addition to our summer. 
After trying to gather up my own ideas, believe me I do have a ton after being a teacher for twenty years. But, it’s always nice to have someone do the job for you. This kit from ALEX is amazing. Honestly I have never seen a kit so put together. It has everything, yes everything, you need to get the job done! This particular kit has enough supplies in it to complete sixteen different craft projects. As if having ALL of the supplies is not enough, the directions are simple! You look at the paper and follow the directions. No words! So, if you are doing this with a non-reader it’s a piece of cake. You child will feel so accomplished after each of the crafts. I absolutely LOVE this kit! 
Some of the crafts Emily has created so far are the cow and frog hand puppets. They were fun and included gluing with a glue stick, stickers and rolling the paper tongue on a pencil. When she was done, there was a puppet show! So doing the craft alone is great but getting to play with it is even more fun!
Another craft she created was the sticker pizza! It was simply a creative sticker work of art. The plain pizza came with a ton of different stickers to create your own pizza. Even though she likes her pizza plain, she topped it with olives, mushrooms, cheese, pepperoni, anchovies and more! This particular craft came with its own frame and even a place to write your name on the frame. Talk about feeling accomplished.
Some of the other activities include making molded dough animals, collage a farm and sticker art. Besides paper bag puppets there is also tissue art, animal punch outs, bright dough colors, peel and stick tissue art pictures, google eyes, pipe cleaners, crayons, glue sticks, clay dough, and more. 
What I love the most about this kit is that it makes your child feel so proud about completing the task!
They can use their artistic freedom and creativity! Bravo, ALEX! This is an amazing kit! I would recommend it to anyone with children 3+. We loved it and cannot wait to complete all sixteen activities!
