Tide Stain Release Challenge – 100,000 Free Samples and Prizes

March 27, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

One of America’s favorite brands (Tide) is having a huge challenge for everyone in America with their Tide Stain Release product. I was able to actually put the Tide Stain Release to test on our recent trip to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Since it was a 10 hour road trip, I knew we would have some kind of spill. Sure enough, M dropped her hot chocolate all over her the very first thing when we got on the road. Never fear as we brought out the tide stain release as soon as we made it to Florida and had her shirt back to awesome condition before any huge tears broke out.

It is your turn to put it to the test.

Starting tonight at 9pm ET March 28, 2011, visit the Tide Stain Release Challenge tab on Tide’s Facebook page and click the “Take the Challenge” button. The first 100,000 registered participants will get a free sample for themselves, as well as three extras to share with Facebook friends, so they too can take the Challenge. Any registrants thereafter will receive a coupon for Tide Stain Release.

There are more prizes involved as well. ALL participants are automatically entered to win:

* One of the weekly giveaways of a year’s supply of Tide Stain Release and Tide detergent

AND

* A Grand Prize of a washer and dryer set awarded at the end of the contest (total of 10 Grand Prizes available!)

Increase your odds of winning by sharing feedback (good or bad) about Tide Stain Release on the Challenge page, once you have tried it. Also you can increase your chances of winning even more by taking a poll about Tide Stain Release on the Challenge page.

Let the fun begin. Go take the challenge. I cannot wait to here how you put the Tide Stain Release to the test!

Grand Floridian Outdoor Fun

March 25, 2011 by Jennifer 6 Comments

Here is the first of many posts over the next week to share highlights from our fun at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. It indeed was that, a fun celebration. We were so honored to have a room on the water at the Grand Floridian.

Grand Floridian Disney Resort — Grand Floridian Waterfront Room View

The first day was just full of awesomeness that started out with some splishing and splashing in the uber cool beach pool.

Grand Floridian Pool — Open Your Eyes Mom

The pool starts off on one side like an ocean. Then proceeds to get deeper the farther you go in. This allowed kids of all ages (including moms and dads) to have fun in the water. No tears were ever shed that the pool water was too deep. Now, to add to the already cool pool was a fun waterfall slide. M was really enjoying the slide over and over and did I mention over?

After playing so long in the water that our skin was so wrinkled it was time to go have fun on the Grand Floridian lawn and sandy beach.

The night was filled with great food, great music and the biggest surprise of the night Mickey and Minnie Mouse!

Since our room was right on the water at the Grand Floridian, we had the most perfect view for the nightly electrical water parade and the fireworks over Magic Kingdom castle. Here is a short video recap of the fun we had in the great outdoors of Grand Floridian.
