Monday Moments!

Remember my 1st Monday Moments post from last week? Since then I received my Vanilla Light Frappuccinos to try out plus a $10 Starbucks gift card! Check it out!

I liked the new flavor! It's very light and refreshing although not a very strong coffee taste, which I was missing a little. I love that they are only 100 calories for the whole bottle so it makes a great afternoon pick-me-up!

Monday Moments


This week's "Monday Moment" is all about family fun time! One of my favorite things to do on the weekends with my family (when it isn't raining here in Seattle!) is go to the local dog park! Everyone, especially our dog Max, always has fun and we usually go out for lunch after. Max gets to run, play with pals, chase a ball and go swimming while the 3 of us get in a little exercise too!

**Giveaway**



As you know from last week, one lucky Fabule$$ly Frugal Mom reader will win a set of four Vanilla Light Frappuccinos and a $10 Starbucks gift card as well!


You can earn 1 entry per week and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment on each Monday Moments post with your answer to my question that week! One winner will be chosen at random on Friday, April 16th. The winner will be notified by email and announced here on 4/19. I am hoping that the winner will email me their Monday Moment photo to feature on Monday, April 19th for the final installment!



For this week's entry leave a comment with your answer to the following: What is your favorite way to relax during "Family Time"? This can be you and your kids, you and your spouse, or even extended family as well!



Disclosure - Starbucks is sponsoring this giveaway for one of my readers and also sent me the same items to review and use. No compensation other than the $10 gift card will be received and all opinions and "Monday Moment's" are 100% my own.

  15. I find reading the bible relaxing but mostly just cuddling up together to watch a movie, it's like a super mini vacation where we can stop thinking about ourselves and be enthralled into the movie (and sometimes the movie gets ya thinking about others, like The Blind Side). ldbush@aol.com

  28. I absolutely love watching Marc and Jordan wrestling in the living room while I am making lunch. My favorite sights, sounds and smells all wrapped into one!
    But to fully enjoy and relax we like to go away for the weekend. No phones, no computer, no one else but the three of us. It helps us bond as a family after a stressful week!
