Parent's Choice Formula Sweepstakes


This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When my boys were born, they were very tiny. Because of that, I could not breast feed them. I did use a pump for as long as I could, but it wasn't as long as I would have liked.

We then had to switch to formula. We were very lucky that my boys did not have any allergies, or problems and they could have a wide variety.

We did find that Parents Choice (sold at Walmart) tasted very good and was less expensive then the big name brands.

Until the boys were weaned, they primarily drank Parents Choice!!

Parent's Choice Premium Infant Formula features a unique blend of nutrients to support growth and development: nucleotides found naturally in breast milk; prebiotics which support the immune system; and DHA & ARA which may support brain and eye development. Premium Milk-Based Infant Formula has been formulated to meet the nutritional needs of term infants as a supplement to breast milk or when mothers do not breastfeed.
Parent's Choice - Lipids Premium Infant Formula:

  • 6 pack of infant formula (23.2-oz. each)

  • Great value of $12.88 for each

  • Specially formulated with prebiotic dietary fiber to support babies' immune system

  • Provides a well-balanced combination of protein, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, and fats

  • Includes DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and ARA (Arachidonic Acid), known as Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which may be associated with infant brain and eye development

  • Choline, a nutrient associated with long term cognitive function

  • Offers complete, balanced nutrition

  • Babies have different nutritional needs, please be sure to consult with your doctor

  • Always refer to the product packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date product information

  • Individual units available in select Wal-Mart stores

Right now Parents Choice is running a contest for a $10,000 scholarship for your child.

But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage.


Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer). Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors. John Lasseter returns to the driver’s seat to direct this follow-up to his 2006 Golden Globe®-winning “Cars.”

Beg For Mercy Book Review And ~~Giveaway~~


Megan Flynn thought she was falling in love. Cole Williams wasn't just handsome and passionate, he was one of the good guys. Or so she thought, until he arrested her brother-the only family she has left-for a murder she knows he couldn't have possibly committed. Now, with her heart broken and her brother's life hanging in the balance, Megan will risk everything to prove his innocence. Even if that means throwing herself into the path of a sadistic killer with a hauntingly familiar MO.

Seattle Detective Cole Williams had given up on making Megan see reason where her brother is concerned. But when she insinuates herself into the most shockingly brutal case Cole has ever worked, he can't stand idly by. Plunged into a secret world where the city's elite indulge their darkest desires, Cole will do whatever it takes to bring down a madman who has made Megan his most coveted prey.


At first this book made me cry. What poor Megan goes through with the loss of her brother, and then her boyfriend is horrible.

Megan is a fighter though. She wont give up on the thought that her brother is Innocent.

Megan works very hard to solve the murder that her brother is convicted of.

She also learns to deal with Cole.

Cole was Megan's boyfriend and a detective. When he becomes the arresting officer of Megan's brother, he realizes that he can no longer have a relationship with her.

Cole tries hard to get Megan out of his head, but she keeps coming back.

When new murders start taking place, and Megan becomes involved, her and Cole need to figure out their relationship again.

The ending of this book is top notch!!!

I truly enjoyed this book, and three of you will too!!

Skin MD Stop The Burn


Skin MD Natural is a breakthrough in skin care that works to prevent dry skin in two ways.

First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common skin care products.

Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture.

This can be a big benefit for those who cook, wash dishes and garden because Skin MD Natural helps skin retain its natural moisture and oils in the face of all those irritating soaps and chemicals.

Skin MD Natural has made a commitment to natural skin care by formulating products that contain more than 90% natural ingredients, are hypoallergenic, free of fragrances, parabens and colorants. All of the ingredients used in Skin MD Natural are 100% food-grade ingredients that are on the FDA's "most safe" list.

Skin MD Natural brings you eco friendly skin care products that manufactured using solar power while also being vegan and cruelty free.

The manufacturer's website www.skinmdnatural.com has hundreds of dermatologist and user reviews including many addressing severe dry skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.
