Pear Up & Support Children's Sports



**Disclosure: This is a compensated post in connection with Global Influence.

My favorite thing to do in my spare time, is to sit at the park and watch my kids play sports.  My youngest son has played baseball for over five years now and I love it!  There's nothing better than sitting on the sideline watching them give it their all and seeing their self confidence just bloom! As much as we are always on our social media networks - did you now know that your social networking can help raise money for your child's sports team? It can definitely be expensive playing sports, there's no doubt about that! Now there is Pear, a social engagement platform that helps groups earn sponsorships from brands - for free! Pear matches up sponsors with groups and organizations within the community.  Their mission is to makie sponsorship simple and easy for both parties.  Safeskin Youth Sports Wraps is sponsoring to youth sports teams across the country by providing funds toward the purchase of team apparel.

Sponsors have money to donate, but they don't always know how or where to donate it.  So you're probably asking how you can create your own Pear, right?!
  • Pear works as the middleman to help connect sponsors & groups in need
  • Pear helps to create the Pear & the group leader invites others to join
  • A dedicated community manager at Pear will help groups get the most money from their Pear.
  • The Pear is shared with others who complete digital incentives to earn more money
  • Each group can earn up to $1,000. within a 10-day time frame.
  • That $1,000 can be used towards team apparel
  • Each team member completes digital steps on behalf of Safeskin to earn dollars
  • For every step team members complete, they'll get dollars towards their goal
  • The more tasks you complete, the more $$ you earn for your sponsorship
  •  At the end of the 10-day period, group leaders claim an online certificate for the amount earned redeemable at any Pear printer
  • You get to keep whatever amount you earn
  • It's completely free to participate
  • So far there are more than 1,400 participants and 100 Pears

    The fine print - Group award valid at any participating Pear printer partner.  Requires application of 3"x4" Proudly sponsored by + brand logo on apparel alongside your custom design.  Limit one sponsorship/award per group; no cash value.  Adult sports teams are subject to cancellation. 

    If you are like me and always need to see something in action to understand it - here is a great video to help with just that!

    Complete with Pepcid



    Disclaimer: I have received information, product, and materials from McNeil Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co., the makers of PEPCID. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post for Mom It Forward.

    I am a huge fan of pizza!  There's nothing better than a good pizza with a ton of cheese and some crispy pepperoni!  But, along with most good food, there comes a price and with pizza, it just happens to be heartburn.  Usually it won't hit me until sometime in the middle of the night, then I'll have to get up to take something for it so I can go back to sleep.  These past few weeks for some reason I have been really craving pizza! So I indulged a couple times and bought pizza for the family.  Depending on where I get my pizza from, certain places seem to give me more heartburn than others.  So....I decided to put Pepcid to the test and get my favorite pizza, which happens to be the one that gives me the most heartburn too.  Now since Pepcid works right at the onset of heartburn, I thought I would give it a try once, before I consumed the pizza and the next time I had pizza I waited until the onset.  Both times, it worked like a charm! The second time when I waited until the onset, I took Pepcid Chewables right away and within ten minutes my heartburn was gone. 

    Now, I'm really not a fan a taking medication on a daily basis to prevent something, I would rather just take it when needed.  That's what I love about Dual Action Pepcid Complete!  It's in my hands when I want to take it.  I can take it right on the onset of heartburn! Pepcid Complete works on acid indigestion not simply indigestion.  Pepcid products start working fast and offer uncompromising relief that last all day. This is now my go to medicine. With a range of products, Pepcid works by reducing the stomach acid that causes heartburn. 

    Two things I love about Pepcid -
    1. It really lasts all day or night! No need to keep taking it every couple hours.  
    2. The taste!  It's an easy to chew tablet that tastes like berry & really tasty!
    Connect with Pepcid here and join in the conversation with not only the brand, but others that suffer from heartburn as well. 

    Camping with Pillsbury’s



    Our family loves to camp! Even if it's too hot to camp, we enjoy just taking day trips to the lake or take a drive up into the mountains.  I hope you’ve been able to take advantage of these beautiful summer afternoons and nights with family and friends as well! If you’re looking to get out of the house and into the heat, Pillsbury is here to share some creative, easy (and yummy) ideas to entertain the little ones for hours.  Living on the West Coast, we have an advantage of grilling just about year round - it's my favorite way to cook!  Just grab a tent, make a fire and dish up some of these camp-inspired ideas for a night of magical family moments under the stars.
     
    1.       Have a kid-friendly backyard “drive-in” movie night with a large bed sheet and projector.
    2.       Food on a stick is fun with Pillsbury’s Crescent Dog on a Stick – no cleanup required!
    3.       Use glow necklaces and glow bracelets for a few rounds of nighttime ring toss.
    4.       Pillsbury’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are easy to make ahead and will be the star of  any summer potluck.
    5.       Tie vases to your fence or deck and fill with plants or flowers to spruce up the party.
    6.       What’s an outdoor summer night without s’mores? Pillsbury’s Grilled Chocolate Chip S'more Cookie Pizza is a fun twist on the classic treat but when the bugs start buzzing too loudly, try this melt-y dessert that can be enjoyed inside - S'mores Pizza Roll Up.
    7.       String paper lanterns in low hanging branches to light up the night.  
    8.       Making Pillsbury’s Grilled Half and Half Pizza is easy to do when following along with this how-to video.
    9.       No pool? Stay cool by frolicking through sprinklers on a hot afternoon.  
    10.   Grilled Biscuit Cheeseburgers are quick and easy summer meals.
     
    The recipes above are simple enough for kids to help mom prepare in the kitchen and quickly transport to the backyard for fun and entertainment. For more gooey snacks that all ages will enjoy, check out our 10 s'mores recipes to make before summer ends!

    With summer finally here you’re probably packing your bags to hit the beach, the road or just your back yard. There's nothing like burnt & chapped lips!  Now you can ensure your pucker is always on point this summer with these pocket-sized travel essentials from Carmex and tips from Shannon Tor, Director of Research & Development for Carma Laboratories, the company that makes Carmex lip balms!

    • Soaring temps can leave your lips dehydrated because “your lips don't have any oil-producing or sebaceous glands so the only moisture they get is from saliva,” explains Shannon Tor. Saliva in turn “evaporates quickly and enzymes in which dissolve oils, which can actually lead to dry, chapped lips.” Be sure to pack Carmex Lip Balm ($1.59) in a tube to keep them hydrated!  
    • Hotter weather can leave your makeup melting so this summer go lipstick-free and instead sport well moisturized and protected lips with the Carmex Protecting Lip Balm Sticks ($1.59). Plus, Shannon Tor explains that your natural lips are designed to be flaunted “since your lips have fewer layers of skin than the rest of your body, underlying blood vessels, blood-filled capillaries, are close to the surface, giving your lips a reddish or pink tint.”
    With summer often comes summer romance so before you pucker up, turn to the Carmex Lip Balm ($1.59) that has been around for 77 years to make your pucker memorable! Shannon Tor explains that “a lip balm is only as effective as the ingredients in the formula” and that the time-tested formula of the Carmex Lip Balm “contains camphor and menthol to soothe severely dry lips and petrolatum to create a long-lasting protective barrier.” 

     Carmex Lip Balm is available at retailers nationwide. For more information, please visit www.mycarmex.com
