New Chick-fil-A Salad Giveaway

Update:  This giveaway is now closed.  Congratulations to Sarah, selected via Random.org and notified via email.  Thank you all for entering.

New Chick-fil-A Salad Giveaway

Have you tried the new Chick-fil-A salads yet?  I am a big Chick-fil-A fan – they have food that our whole family likes.  Everyone’s happy when we go there and no one gripes.  The kids can enjoy the playground and no one’s complaining about the free ice-dream after their kid’s meal!!

Plus you just can’t beat the service – I think both our Forsyth County Chick-fil-A locations are great.  The managers run them awesome and the employees are always so pleasant.

HOWEVER, I have never been a big fan of their salads!  The dressings weren’t that good and the salads were just boring, so I must admit I am super excited about these new menu choices!

And whether you’ve tried them yet or not, we’ve got an opportunity for you to try them for FREE!!

Giveaway – Enter for a chance to Win:

We’ll choose two lucky winners via Random.org to win a FREE coupon for one of the new Chick-fil-A Salads.  To enter, take the “are you a starter, quiz” (click red button below).  Then simply share how many points you earned in the comments below for your chance to win!

Chick-fil-A: Kid’s Meal Giveaway

Update:  This giveaway is now closed.  Congrats to Becca F.  And thanks everyone for entering!

Chick-fil-A Giveaway …

The new Chick-fil-A kid meals have been out for a little while now.  Has anyone tried the grilled nuggets?  Or maybe more importantly have your kids?  I think it’s a great option – one more nutritious choice to have!  Will I always make that choice … no, not always.  Gosh there’s just something about that fried nugget that Chick-fil-A has perfected so well it’s hard to pass up!!

But the cool thing is that with the gorgeous weather we have, it’s the perfect time & opportunity to pair up a healthier fast food kid’s meal with some good family fun!  Spring is a perfect time to promote an active lifestyle and the great outdoors is the perfect place to enjoy some family games!

Chick-fil-A wants to know what are some of your favorite – even old school games – to enjoy as a family? And as an incentive to share, I’ve got three kid’s meal certificates to give away (which if you haven’t heard yet, this is good timing because sadly, both Forsyth County locations have ended their Kid’s Eat Free Tuesday Nights).

The Giveaway:

THREE Kid’s Meal Certificates to one lucky winner!

Below, click the “Spin Button” and share with us (in the comments below) either what game your spin lands on OR simply share one of your favorite old-school games to play as a family.

Chick-fil-A Calendar Giveaway

Update:  This giveaway is now closed.  The winner, Joyce, was selected via Random.Org and notified via email.  Thank you all for entering.

Stop and Take a Few Moments …

If you’re like me, you LOVE getting the new Chick-fil-A Calendar each year!  Not only are they usually pretty nice looking and a good, quality size, but most importantly they have awesome coupons inside!  But the one thing better than buying one, is winning one!  And I’m excited to have a new 2012 Calendar to give to one of you.

The other thing I love about Chick-fil-A (besides their chicken, the wonderful milk shakes, their lemonade, and the fact that they have Dt. Dr Pepper as a drink option) is the prize in the Kid’s Meal.  My kids love the books that they usually offer – they are perfect for car entertainment.  One of my family’s recent favorites was the Veggie Tales CDs – we all loved those!  And I have a feeling my kids will really like the next thing coming out too – cow watches!

The Cow Watches are coming to Chick-fil-A Kid’s Meals! During the holidays Chick-fil-A Kid’s Meals are featuring the never before seen Cow Watches to reach families with a simple and fun message: In your busy holiday season make sure to stop and take a few moments together as a family to spend quality “time” with one another.

So, in honor of the watch & for bragging rights of winning the 2012 Calendar, let’s share in a little Holiday Fun!

To Enter:

Below, click the “right hand side of the watch” and “Take a Holiday Quiz” now.  It’s six very simple & short questions.  Then leave a comment on this post with the results of your quiz & you’ll be entered.  Update: You can just leave the answer w/ the highest percentage.  For instance, I was “friend of the frost”.  What about you?

That simple!  For fun, get your spouse or children to play too.
