I just love Summer road trips with the family!  After being cooped up all winter long with almost 24 hours of darkness, getting out in the sunshine is just what our family needs and what better way to enjoy the sun, fresh air, and Alaska’s beauty than going on a scenic road trip?  My favorite road trip of all time was when my dad and mom took our family and relocated to Alaska from Texas when I was twelve years old.  I had never been on such a long journey in my life, but I was able to see so many sights along the way and experience how different parts of the country are unique and the different cultures that shaped each city and state that we drove through.  I’d love to go across country again, this time with my husband and children, and see the countryside together!

Summer is just around the corner which means time to round up the kids and head out on a family vacation road trip!  Whether going across country to a national park or just taking the kids up to the grandparent’s house, half the fun is getting there. And it doesn’t matter where you’re headed; you’re going to want to be comfortable along the way. With 12v power outlets, JoyBox™ Entertainment system, UConnect® Bluetooth® system, roof rack and more, the Volkswagen Routan provides comfort and fun for the family.

To celebrate Volkswagen’s Routan making vacation easier, they are offering my readers a VW Routan Summer Road Trip survival pack!

Giveaway Time (required entry): A lucky Blessings Abound Mommy will win a VW Routan Summer Road Trip Survival Pack that includes 2 No-spill cups for babies/toddlers, Travel editions of board games (Travel Candyland® game and Travel Guess Who® game), Coloring book w/ color-changeable markers, 1 VW Electric Guitar (not pictured), 2 DVDs of the latest family movies (to be selected by Sponsor) to play in the Routan minivan’s JoyBox™ Entertainment System, 1 Bluetooth headset to use with the Routan minivan’s UConnect® Bluetooth® system, 1 Battery Jumper, 1 Fix-A-Flat Tire inflator, 1 AAA® Emergency Preparedness Kit, and 1 neck pillow (not pictured).  All you have to do in order to be qualified for a chance to win is to leave a comment with your favorite road trip memory!

With five young children, laundry is a daily demanding task that I have to battle with every day. From pre-treating to soaking, it’s easy for laundry to take a good portion of my day and the process seems never ending! Then there are days when I have to run errands where I am not able to do laundry for the day and those stains get dried and caked on. Those are some of the toughest stains to get out once they’ve penetrated the fabric and dried. That’s why I’m so thankful that Tide with Acti-Lift is made with Acti-Lift technology to grab those stains out of dried, soiled clothing!
Tide’s Acti-Lift technology is made with three components: cleaning enzyme, cleaning polymer, and whiteness booster. The cleaning enzyme helps provide deep cleaning of fibers so stains lift off with ease and the cleaning polymer is designed to boost Tide’s already great cleaning surfactant to help break-up dry stains and lift them from fabrics. The whiteness booster helps to give a great whiteness result – even in just one wash!
I’ve been using Tide with Acti-Lift for a month now and it’s amazing to see the difference it’s made in washing my laundry. It did an excellent job of removing both fresh and old stains from our family clothes. There was a piece of clothing or two where the stains were still apparent after 1 wash, but it was barely visible. I simply took a little of the detergent and applied it directly onto the stain and let it penetrate for ten minutes and put it back in the wash. They came out looking as good as new!
What really left an impression was when I washed a dress that had been stained with spaghetti sauce and previously washed with a different detergent. The other detergent never got out those bright orange stains and I was just about ready to give up on ever being able to get rid of those stains, but Tide with Acti-Lift got rid of all traces of the tomato based stains!
Deal Alert: You can get $1 off any one bottle of Tide detergent at the P&G eStore.

Giveaway Time (required entry): A lucky Blessings Abound Mommy reader will win a six month supply of Tide with Acti-Lift Laundry Detergent (4 bottles)!  All you have to do in order to be qualified for a chance to win is to leave a comment on what stains are the most difficult for you to get rid of!

Meet the Company:

One day a guy was watching his beautiful wife tend to his precious children and the phrase came to him… The Bomb Mom. For awhile he wasn’t sure what to do with it but eventually he realized it was a clothing line… a series of statement tees for all the beautiful (inside out) women who give their lives to mothering. The bomb moms.

He contacted some friends he knew in the business and asked their advise and landed on a previous colleague who had done shirts for him in the past. Elizabeth Jackson.

Elizabeth immediately caught the vision for the line as she was now mothering three children of her own. A perfect match was made to get this line out there and on the bodies of all the bomb mommies.

The line is expected to launch Spring 09 out of Franklin, TN. Will you join a movement of mommies that consider themselves The Bomb Mom?

Through the Mom Trials:  Recently, I was asked to review a hip and ultra cool line of shirts that lets everyone know Moms are the bomb!  How awesome is that?  With all the daily things we do for our families that usually gets taken for granted, what a refreshing way get the recognition we deserve for the self-sacrifice and dedication, not to mention rewarding job we do every day for our loved ones.  Moms truly have it going on and what better way to show the world by wearing a The Bomb Mom shirt!

I received the Vintage Striped Bomb Mom shirt that has black and grey stripes with the bomb mom in black lettering and a clear rhinestone bomb on it.  I don’t know which I should gush about more:  the hot style of this shirt or the ultra comfortable feel that makes it my favorite shirt to wear!  The rhinestone adorned shirt is sure to be trend setting and whenever I wear it into town, I definitely watch people do a double take to read what is stated on the shirt and it’s a proud moment that I can revel in as nothing means more to me than being a mother!

The shirt is made out of 75% cotton and 25% polyester so it remains soft and retains it shape wash after wash.  Even after several washes, there is no pilling or fading and the rhinestones are all accounted for.  I chose a size small and the fit is right on and flattering and I like that it has a bit of extra length.  They also provide toddler shirts and baby shirts that states my mom’s the bomb!  How cute is that?!  I love the fun you could have in matching shirts!

Mom Suggestions:  I’d love for them to include a maternity line so us pregnant mothers have a shirt that shouts out we’re the bomb too!

Giveaway Time:  A lucky Blessings Abound reader will win a The Bomb Mom shirt of their own to fully express how you got it going on!  All you have to do in order to be qualified to win is to visit The Bomb Mom and leave a comment with which style of shirt you’d like to win!

Have you been paying attention to the Sam’s Club Special Buy of the Day that I posted about a little while back?  If you haven’t had a chance to read that post yet, the Special Buy of the Day is a featured product released every day offered at rock bottom prices in limited quantities only.  That means you’ll have to act fast in order to score on these money saving deals!  You can either visit the Sam’s Club website every day to see what new deal is offered or you can stop by my blog and check out the cool widget on my sidebar that also lets you see what special Sam’s Club has released that day!  Pretty neat, huh?!

I’m so glad I could share today’s Special Buy of the Day with you today and I’m thrilled to announce that it is the Flip MinoHD™ Camcorder in Black and that this beauty is going for only $159.84!!!  This offer is available online only and at these marked down savings, this hot video camcorder will be going quick.  I own a couple Flip camcorders myself and I just love the convenience of toting around these mini camcorders so I can be sure that I won’t miss any important moments in my family’s lives.  They’re small enough to stick in any purse or diaper bag to keep handy at all times and provides great footage of whatever I’m in the mood for shooting at the time.  Trust me, someone is going to love this for Christmas and $159.84 is such an affordable price for this feature loaded, HD quality mini video camcorder!
