Ready for Bloggy Giveaway #5? Oh sure you are, you know you are loving this week. If not, you should be with over 800 giveaways going on and over 50 alone at b5media blogs. WOW! This has been such a huge turn out.
Well, Tessy and Tab wanted to get in on this and I must say I can’t blame them. Upon looking into exactly what they wanted to offer I am really interested in the items they have. Okay, who here has children? Umm, yeah that’s what I thought. How many of those kids know what a tv is? Can they sing any theme songs? Okay, how about commericials?
Tessy and Tab are going to give one lucky winner the Tessy and Tab’s TV Turnoff Kit. What is it? Well imagine the tv not working for an entire day (or more), yes I’m sure that drives fear through some of you. But if it happened would you be prepared? With Tessy and Tab’s TV turnoff kit you would.
Consists of:
Informational pamphlet on “6-Step Plan”
activity plan (chart) which gives many ideas
4 reading books
Picture Chart for Family Discussion
family schedule (chart)
Want to win it: Leave a comment telling me what you do with your family when the television isn’t on. Don’t forget to visit Tessy and Tab and view the other products they have. I like the Super Starter Kit.Deadline: Midnight, April 26th and I”ll announce the winner on April 27th. Make sure you leave an email address for me.
I might try the bimonthly magazine!

We love to play board games!! Monopoly is a favorite with the kids and my husband and I love a good game of Scrabble!!
Thank you for this opportunity!! 
we need this
My kids play outside all the time, riding bikes, rollerskating, walking around with friends. In the house they usually play something like Barbie, Bratz, Polly pocket, dolls/house, etc.
We usually dance to whatever music is going when the TV is off. But sometimes, when it’s nice outside, we’ll go for walks. My kids aren’t old yet, so about 15 minutes outside wears them out! Thanks for the giveaway! My little girl is already addicted to TV at 2 years old and we’re trying to keep it off more so she learns there’s more to life than TV!
We like to read and play outside (if the weather permits!)
We talk.
My boys are 2 & 4 yrs old so we mostly read, play outside or play in there play room. My 4 yr old is getting pretty imaginative so we are always flying to space or fighting pirates and my 2 yr old copies everything he does! Thanks!
My kiddos love to play outside. Fortunately it’s getting warm (too warm!)
We read when the tv is not on.
Thanks so much!
I need help in this arena, for sure. The TV is the crutch that gets me through the day, and yes, quite honestly, the thought of the TV not working *does* strike fear into my heart, which also makes me feel terrible, especially since I’ve often considered going TV-free (at least during the daytime, for the kids’ sake).
One of the most reliable things we can do when the TV is off is puzzles. The kids just love a good jigsaw puzzle, and they eat up a good amount of time without requiring me to expend energy I may not have, or be creative when I just need a chance to rest.
READ!
We love playing board games! My daughter would play for hours if she could.
We have to drag my grandson kicking and screaming from the tv…..my granddaughter however takes after me and not grandpa. So with no tv my grand daughter and I bake cakes and/or cookies.

My mom got me a trunk 35 years ago, she and I saved everything while I was in school and I am always adding to it even now. My daughter likes for me to pull out something and tell the story behind it. Some items she like so much that we never get to the bottom of the trunk.
We read, do puzzles, play outside, make play-doh and play with trains/trucks/towns/legos when the tv isn’t on.
