January 31, 2013 Mom Time

Crazy Day, ThinkThin Giveaway!

Put up with me. ThinkThin Giveaway details come after my short-ish tirade:

Today was one of those days.  Here’s how it went down.  I overslept.  Woke up to Will pulling on my hair.  Thought to self, “I wonder if Jon remembered to change the baby’s diaper.”  Went down to feel Will’s bum for diaper “fullness” to find NO DIAPER.  I immediately haul butt out of bed to figure out the situation.  The situation was a completely nasty diaper that had somehow gotten off of Will’s bum and down around his foot inside of the footie pajama’s.  Nice.  ‘Cause I planned on giving him a bath first thing.

So, everyone got a bath (may as well do two kids if I’m drawing the water for one), then breakfast.  We pulled into the pre-school parking lot ten minutes after pre-school started.  I drop off Graham and bring Will back to the house to drop him off with our nanny, then scramble to pick up Jon from the light rail station so we can go to our Financial Planner.  We need to get advise on what to do with all of that money we don’t have!  By the way, college is expensive!!!

After dropping Jon back off at the light rail station, I head over to my next appointment with a social media client.  This is when I realize between the meeting, picking Graham up from preschool, then my run, if I don’t eat lunch now, it’s not going to be until 2:30.  So, I popped into the market to pick up something to nosh on.

I found an apple, a bottle of water then hit up the energy bar aisle.  Here’s where things turn ironic.  ThinkThin just sent me four BIG boxes of protein bars that I love.  Three of them are left and sitting proudly in my pantry.  But, you know what I purchased?  A ThinkThin bar.  Out of all of the options available, I picked what I could  have gotten for free at home.  That’s how you know it’s good, and in my opinion, the only testimony you need!

Three of the four boxes you see were in my pantry at time of ThinkThin purchase today!

The rest of my day hasn’t gotten any easier, but I’ll stop with my story there, as I’ve got something to give away and I’m sure your busy day was just as insane as mine….

One lucky Mom Favorites reader will win a ThinkThin prize package valued at $76, which includes 10 Creamy Peanut Butter Bars, 10 Crunch Mixed Nut Bars, 3 Boxes of Brownie Bites and a water bottle.  I think you’ll love these guys as much as I do.   On a mostly-vegetarian diet, I dig that the Creamy Peanut Butter bars pack an awesome 20 grams of protein.  And when I need a chocolate fix around 9pm, I don’t feel guilty grabbing a Brownie Bite!

Enter to win below and best of luck!

    My nutritionist recommended the ThinkThin bars to me several months ago; and now, I am never without them: my purse, several places in the car, pantry! Everywhere… they are really good.

    I’d eat ThinkThin as a late afternoon snack between lunch and after-work yoga.
