Boogie Boards giveaway! NICU project

12/18/2016

0 Comments

 
Boogie Board was so generous to send us a bunch of Boogie Board Jot 8.5's to give away to our members and we thought that the perfect way to give them away would be to give them to those who help us collect items for our Christmas service project for our local NICU. For the past 2 years we have donated bags filled with items for the mothers and babies at the University of Iowa NICU in hopes of brightening their Christmas as they stay in the hospital with their sweet babies. Thank you to all who have helped us in collecting items for our bags!

So what is  Boogie board any way? Well, a Boogie Board is an ewriter that allows you to write notes, drawings or lists over and over again without the need for paper or pens! Just write, erase, and write again! We have the older style of Boogie Boards and we have loved them! My kids love taking them on long car or airplane rides, to church, or just to doodle on at any time! I also love to write my grocery list on mine! Some even come with magnets that you can put on the backs of them so you can put them on your fridge. They are super light ( MUCH lighter than an iPad) and are so easy just to throw in a purse or diaper bag.

​So would you like one right in time to put under your Christmas tree? Then grab something to donate to our NICU project before this Wednesday the 21st and you will be enterted to win one! Even if you only donate 1 bottle of nail polish, you are entered! :)  I will draw the winners on Wednesday night so we coordinate a pickup or drop off of your prize.

​Thank you so much to Boogie Board for donating these Boogie Boards to our members! We appreciate it!

After an unusually warm fall, we’ve been reintroduced to winter. Winter brings with it holiday cheer, beautiful snowfalls and warm treats. However, it is also easy to catch the winter blues with colder weather and darker days. When you catch yourself pining for spring consider some of these ideas to still get out of the house this winter.
1.       Visit the Amana Colonies – This town is enchanting especially at Christmas time. Make sure to check out the General Store, which has a Room devoted to Christmas year-round. Also, don’t miss family style brunch at the Ronneburg. Come hungry and stay awhile so you can handle multiple rounds of pancakes.
2.       Try out a new winter activity – My favorite is cross-country skiing. You can rent skis from Fin and Feather and head out to the trails all over town. Believe it or not, there’s even some downhill skiing close by. Sundown Mountain is in Dubuque and Chestnut Mountain is in Galena, IL.
3.       Go to indoor sporting events – We all know about the Hawkeys, but don’t forget the RoughRiders (Cedar Rapids’ USHL hockey team) play all winter long. Cedar Rapids even has an indoor soccer league, the Rampage.
4.       Go ice skating – If you don’t have your own skates, rent them at Coral Ridge Mall or at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.
5.       Explore County or State Parks – Pile the layers on and get outside to see our County Parks in a whole new way. Most of the parks still offer events for kids and adults during the winter to help distract you from the cold.
What are your favorite winter activities in Iowa? Share your wonderful ideas in the comments below!
