CLOSED Giveaway: A Father’s Day Giveaway: TruGreen

June 7, 2011 By mandi 27 Comments

It’s that time of year.  The one where Dad tries his best to have the greenest yard on the street!  It’s the fight for bragging rights!

But the truth is, after an incredibly hot summer in 2010, followed by the ice and snow storms we received this past winter, many are probably noticing that our lawns and plants have not recovered from the extremes & harsh weather.  And unfortunately, many of our lawns and plants will have the side effects of a weakened state such as dead leaves & branches or high chances of weeds like bluegrass.

Fortunately, there’s good news.  TruGreen, the nation’s largest professional lawn care service, provides the tools and services to bring your yard back to the green it should be. Services include:

  • Healthy Lawn Analysis
  • Weed Control
  • Fertilization
  • Aeration & Seeding
  • Targeted Insect Control
  • pH & Soil Quality Checks
  • Disease Control
  • And even Organic Solutions

And there’s always a few things you can do on your own.  TruGreen offers these tips to prepare your yard for the summer:

  1. Clear dead leaves & debris to give room for new growth.
  2. Prune dead branches from trees & shrubs.
  3. Apply mulch around plants to help hold in moisture and prevent weeds in landscape beds.
  4. To ensure healthy turf, be sure to mow your lawn at the correct height & always use a sharp blade to prevent tearing of the leaf blades.
  5. Use fertilizer to encourage lawn, tree, and shrub growth after a challenging winter.
  6. Water your lawn one to two inches a week and be careful not to over water, which can lead to disease activity.  Make sure to follow water restrictions.

But, what’s better than doing all the work yourself?  And what’s better than paying for it?  WINNING Something Of Course!!

TruGreen is currently hosting a national sweepstakes with several awesome prizes.

But your chances for winner are probably better right here!!

A Wendy’s Giveaway that’s #BerryTasty

May 31, 2011 By mandi 40 Comments

Update:  This giveaway is now closed. The winner, Joyce, was selected via Random.Org and has been notified via email.

If you’re like me, it’s safe to say that you’re officially out of your normal routine.  Typically with the last day of school and the first day of summer our routines tend to start falling off.  One of those routines for our family is our six o’clock dinner.  I’m usually pretty strict during school because it makes things run smoother, but these days we could very easily still be at the pool at six o’clock or in the middle of a road trip!   Which, if I haven’t planned well, might also mean a few more trips through a fast food drive thru than normal.

The kids of course don’t mind another cheeseburger but my hips certainly do!  Thankfully, this past weekend I found a little secret weapon!  Bloggers throughout the country and several here in Atlanta were asked to try Wendy’s new Berry Almond Chicken Salad.  This salad has summer written all over it!  So I ate mine poolside with the family.

Wendy's Berry Almond Chicken Salad

I will definitely order it again!  This picture does not do the fruit justice, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fruit came on the salad.  It had fresh blueberries and strawberries, along with chicken and sliced almonds.  It even had Asiago cheese sliced all over it!  The lettuce was actually green – not just the usual fast food ice berg … but real green romaine!!  And the dressing was delicious! It comes in either a half or full portion size which is perfect if you want to pair it with something else or enjoy it by itself.

Want to give one a try?  You’ll have to hurry!  It’s only around for a limited time, so give it a try & enjoy it this summer while you can!

Want to give it a try for free?

We’ve got a $25 Wendy’s Gift Card to give away.  Perfect for trying the new Berry Almond Chicken Salad.  Or if you want to be real nice (and frugal), you could hold on to it as a Father’s Day Gift!

To Enter:

  • Leave a comment by filling in the blank – “To me, Summer means ________”.

Disclosure:  Thanks to Wendy’s and The Motherhood for this opportunity!  I was compensated for my time and was given a $25 Wendy’s gift card to sample the Berry Almond Chicken Salad.  Thanks to Wendy’s for also providing the giveaway prize! As always, my opinions cannot be bought … I really DID like this salad!!!
