Mom Caboodle

A week and a half ago, my husband and I were in Key West on a long overdue Honeymoon (After fourteen years of marriage). We have been on many vacations just not any that are kid free. We had an amazing time in Key West but the main highlight of the trip was our trip 70 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico to the Dry Tortugas National Park!  It was so beautiful and the snorkeling was awesome! Sorry about so many photos this Wordless Wednesday….I just had to share!

Being a mother of several boys, one thing I have learned is they all want to be some sort of Super Hero! Most of them want to wear a cape  and mask and have things shoot from their fingertips. Believe me,  I have made many capes out of towels over the years!!

Secretly, I don’t think they ever outgrow it! My oldest son who is 28 years old still has Batman pajama pants!

This is a recent picture of my little super hero, Suplex Man!

This year, Matchbox turns 60!  To celebrate its 60 year anniversary, Matchbox is having a Matchbox Heroes Wanted Sweepstakes to honor heroes-in-training – the children who play with, and inspire, Matchbox. One lucky Super Hero will win a $60,000 college scholarship!! Plus, Matchbox is giving away 60 prizes every week!

“Since its launch, Matchbox has enabled kids to live out their own adventures with inspiration from the many community heroes they see and interact with every day,” said Matt Petersen, vice president of North America boys marketing, Mattel. “Sixty years later, Matchbox continues to fuel the imagination of kids around the world through heroic vehicle play.”

Entering is easy! Just take a picture of your little super hero and submit it with a caption explaining why they are a true Matchbox® hero. Be sure to get your entry submitted into the sweepstakes before May 13th, 2013.

The Matchbox® Heroes Wanted™ Sweepstakes calls on parents to celebrate the heroic attributes of their children by submitting a picture and caption of their hero-in-training dressed as their favorite real-life icon.
