Congratulations Heather R. check your email for more information!
As you all know this is National TV Turn-Off Week. Subway along with the National Institute of Health has teamed up to create P.E.P. kits (Play more, Eat right, Push away the screen). Each kit is filled with fun activities to get your kids moving.
My kids were super excited when their kit arrived today. Unfortunately our weather isn’t cooperating with fun outside play.
My kids played with a few of the toys inside for a while and then decided to brave the weather and head outside regardless of the rainy 50 degree day. (Translation: the inside play became too loud and wild so I sent them outside…)
There are so many alternatives to watching television and I have to admit I am proud of Subway for jumping on the healthy bandwagon. There is so much garbage marketed to kids these days it is refreshing to see a company do something a little different.
Since you know that I am not a TV gal, and would love to help my readers kick the television habit (well, more so for their kids) I want to send one of these P.E.P. kits to you!
The kit I am giving away includes a bug net, water balloons, sidewalk chalk, a bucket and shovel, Frisbee, bubbles, jump rope, kite, flower seeds and a $10 Subway gift card. (Just promise me you will order one of the healthy subs, okay)
To enter to win a P.E.P. kit leave a comment. For a second entry tweet about this contest and make sure you include the hashtag #screentime. Leave me a second comment letting me know you tweeted about the giveaway. I will chose a random winner Friday evening (Cora will once again dictate the ending time).
Sounds like fun! My kids (3 and 1) are getting old enough to actually play outside and not just wander around and eat stuff, so this would be great!
I’m retweeting you about the giveaway (Kristi_runwatch)
Whoo Hoo! I *heart* spring…even if it rains!

Hey! just retweeting u about the giveaway(8. Hanna)
Fun! This would be perfect for my daughter’s May birthday.
I tweeted.
What a nice giveaway! We always do order the healthier sandwiches and I even make my kids choose the baked chips.
Of course, I don’t have it in me to make my little one choose the apples over the cookie, but I’m trying!
I like eating at subway and would love to win the kit for my girls!
This is awesome! Thanks Toni!
How much fun is that! My girls would love this. We are going camping soon and this would be some fun things to do.
My kids would have so much fun with that!
This looks like a ton of fun! Please enter me in the drawing!
We hit a heat wave here in San Diego just in time for “no telly” week. The basket looks so fun. Hope we win. Thanks!!
This looks great! My boys would love it and we LOVE Subway!!
Looks like you are all having so much fun!!! What a great packages and really who doesn’t love subway?:)
Sounds like so much fun!!!

What a fantastic giveaway. The whole family would have fun with this!
We aren’t much for TV either-who has time with 3 kids? Our whole family would have a blast with this!
Great giveaway! My children would truly enjoy this!
Sounds like a lot of fun!!

What a great idea! Yay Subway!
That si so cool. I would love to win one!
Looks like fun! Anything that gets the kids moving is a great thing!!
How neat! I’ll be honest & tell you, I turned off our TV today… but it’s on right now. But it was off for several hours, which is a first for us! Maybe tomorrow I’ll leave it off even longer! ;o) Thank you for the incentive to become active!
What a fun idea!!
Wow, that kit looks like lots of fun. We took recess at lunch today and the kids went out and caught a lizard and blew some bubbles. Spring is fun!
I would love to win this kit for my 2 children! If I do not win, how can we acquire one of these? Is Subway giving them out??
Great posts today, I’m really enjoying them.
The TV is a weak point in our home, mostly in the mornings. We’re working on it. This kit definitely gives me some ideas- a trip to the dollar store may be in the works!
How much fun! I know my boys would love this!
That kit looks like a lot of fun. Making up a kit like that would make a great birthday gift.
My girls would love to use all these things! I would love to win it for them.
What a great idea!!!
This is an awesome idea!
That’s awesome!
I admire you and your lifestyle immensely; thank you for sharing it so often.
I tweeted it!
Wow! Thanks for this great giveaway!

This is so perfect for the weather now!

What a great kit–my kids would LOVE it!
Great giveaway. It would get the kids outside in the fresh air and give them some much needed exercise after the long winter.
What a great giveaway! My four kids would love this.
Looks good, I would love to win!
Terrific! Our sun is shining for a few days, but I know that the rain will drive us back inside by the end of the week. We’d love some great new distractions!
I’d love to be entered!
I retweeted about the contest!
Sounds fun!
Looks like fun! I want to play. =)
Sure, we’d love to have some fun play stuff. We’re not really TV watchers anyway, so this week won’t be that different.Thanks for the giveaway!
That is so fun that they are doing that! My kids need to be outside more!
Count me in!!!
That looks like a great kit!
My boys (ages 8,6, and 2) love to play outside! This would be such a great prize package for them!
Looks like lots of fun! Thanks.

Great prize package. The kids can go outside & play and I can go to Subway and eat!
This kit looks like a lot of fun.
my girls would LOVE this. I hadn’t even heard about it. We don’t spend too much time watching tv during the school week, but some weekends we just veg. Thanks sound like a lot of fun!
Count me in, I’d love to win this!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
my children would love to win this! thanks for the chance!
I love your blog. My kids love little toys like this
I’m a fairly new reader on your blog and am enjoying it (also hanging on the edge of my seat for the next part of your “story”) =) And I love this give-away!
Ooo – we have four kids right now (my one and my three nieces I have temporary custody of) and we turned off the TV today. Well – kinda. We turned on the Kidzrock “station” for music for a dance contest.
We would LOVE to have this package! I wish I would’ve heard about it and ordered one in advance for us! And yes – we’re dealing with the rain today too – it even hailed!
We just canceled Directv today! I am so excited to not have the TV to get sucked into, thanks for the inspiration!
Sounds fun! It rained for our first day of no TV week. Two of my kiddos eventually went outside long enough to get REALLY muddy
I would love to win this. My 2 yr old loves to be outside.
I would love to win! This kit might motivate us to get outside more this summer. Thanks!
Ooh, that looks like a really fun kit! I’m loving all these contests I can enter on blogs. So fun.
I don’t watch a ton of TV, can take it or leave it, except for Lost. Love that show. But, I love watching movies. And I think I would have some serious withdrawals if I had to give up my computer. I did actually try to be on it less today, but didn’t make much headway. Going to keep working on that one though!
thanks!
We are doing the no TV week around here too although we don’t watch much but I have relied on it too much for cooking dinner lately.
We are TV-free during the week, but let the kids watch on the weekends. I’d love to take the next step and get rid of it for good.
WOW this is such a great givaway love it hope to win
looks like a fun packet!
Julie
Thank you so much for tuning me into this, im trying really hard to keep the tv off in general but this was a great incentive to get motovated. Day one and we acomplished so much.
Sounds like fun!
I love subway and what a great idea to get all of us moving more and not on the tv couch!
What a great giveaway! I know my kids would love this!
That kit looks neat! I was just telling my Mama the other day I would like a frisbee. My whole family would have heaps of fun with this kit!
YES!!! We would love a kit!! I am trying to wean us off TV… there are usually DAYS that go by where the kids don’t watch ANY… we still have the old rabbit ears antenna and I am actually looking forward to the big switch over… since our “converter box” doesn’t seem to get any digital channels anyway!! I am sooo appalled at what kids are exposed to through TV, as well as all the desensitizing that it does to our culture. Love the kit!!
I tweeted this giveaway! http://twitter.com/Missy_Lou/status/1571571578 I’m Missy_Lou.
I would love to win one. Thank you!
I am loving the warmer weather so we can all go outside and get some fresh air! Thanks for the giveaway.
Cool giveaway! Thanks!
Spring has sprung! Hope I’m lucky today!
we’re having great spring weather here and my 7 kids play outside everyday! we would love to win this
I tweeted about it too! @NancysBlessings
This looks like a lot of fun! My children (8, 5, 4, 2 & 4mths) would love to win! ~ Well, the 4 mth old probably doesn’t care, but the others will.
Thank you for the chance!
Side Note ~ I am new to your blog and have really been blessed and encouraged. We too feel the same way about the TV. We have one but it’s only use is for family videos. I loved your last post on multitasking. I am excited to try your approach in the AM. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom as God teaches you new things.
Blessings,
Jennie
What a great giveaway! Perfect time of year, we are outside more and more each day.
Cheers, Kiy
Looks like fun!
This is an awesome kit!
This is a great idea. I have heard about turn off your tv week for the past couple weeks and forgot! guess i will have to start anew tommorrow!
I really need ideas to keep my boys busy in the summer and turn off the tv.
How fun! We need to get outside more. No tv, but waaaaay too much computer time!
What a great idea!! We are a no TV family and loving it too!
I would LOVE one of these kits…the kids would go nuts over it all while I eat my {healthy} sandwich
and if I happen to not win, can you request for one of these kits through Subway still?
I have four children, ages:8,6,5,2 who would love more activities to do outside. I am having a hard time breaking the tv habit. The kit looks great. Thanks for all the good information.
my girls would have so much fun with this prize!!
i would love to have this for my neice! she would have so much fun. thanks!
This is great! My dc would love this!
Nicole
My preteens would love this!
This would be great for all my kiddos! They have been asking for some of these items! I’ll hold out to see if we win first
Kerri
That kit looks like fun!
We love being outside. Even when it rains. And Subway is our preferred quick stop with their tasty healthy choices. Thanks for such an inspiring post.
I have been enjoying your website. It is so uplifting and encouraging. Thank you
We are an outside family until the heat hits then it’s in the house for us unless we are lounging in the pool. Thank God for swimming pools!!
Yeah for Subway.
Wow the P.E.P Kit looks really cool. I can already picture all the fun my three kids and I would have playing with it!
How fun! We all need ideas of what to do at those times when you just can’t think of anything so you feel like you need to reach for the remote!
What a great idea. We have buckets of fun stuff in our garage. It is always a good idea to have things ready.
What a great idea! My kids are always looking for more fun things to do outside. I have caught them sitting in the yard playing Nintendo DS a couple of times. Defeats the purpose of outside play, no?
Sounds like fun! Thanks for the chance.
Sounds fab! I’m really trying this week to back away from the tv/internet when I get home from work. So far so good!
It sounds fantastic, the kids would love it.
What great timing! My girls pediatrician was just fussing at me for letting them watch so much tv!. I would love to win this package. Thanks for offering it.
Wow this sounds great!
This is totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Ha! This is us everyday! Esp now its above freezing here. But even over the winter, sled riding and snow fort building kept us away from the t.v. But a subway card and the bucket would come in handy for “resupply”.
We 2 kids whose summer vacation is fast approaching … I sure would like to win this.
what a wonderful giveaway to keep my kids busy!!
oooohhh, ooohhh, pick me pick me!! this is right up my alley….hubby and i were just saying we need to watch less TV!!! thanks for a chance to win a cool kit to start off with!!
yay! what fun! it is a new challenge for me to turn off the tv but i am up for it!!
tweeted!! thanks again!!
Sounds awesome!
Looks like fun! Sign me up.
The toys look great! My husband would probably get the Subway card for his lunches.
Thanks for the chance!
Cindy
this would be awesome!
My kids would be THRILLED by this. And even Subway would be an outdoor activity – there’s one about 3-4 blocks from our house, so we could all walk there! Thanks for running this giveaway! =)
Thanks for the great giveaway! We love Subway!!
I just tweeted about the giveaway as well (I’m gen_here)
Sounds great! Thanks for the offer!

the weather is BEAUTIFUL here! T.V–what T.V. Let’s go to the park!
I recently found your blog and you are such an inspiration.
My four kiddos would LOVE it if I won this for them. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Put my name in the hat!!!
I think this would be great my little guys are 2 & 1 and already it seems like we are battling the tv. My fault I know, but we moved to Oregon and it rains all the time and I am not an outdoorsy in the rain gal so it has been tough to make these adjustments. Thanks for the boost!
I’d love some help in weaning my kids (4 and 2)from the screen — now that it’s spring, they’re rediscovering the outdoors, but they still love their Caillou a little too much for my taste!
My kids would LOVE this kit!
My grandson is 4 and spends way too much time with the TV and not outside. I would love to win this for him!
You have a crazy amount of readers chicky, but I’ll take my chances. I especially like the highlight of the noisy boy activity and the quiet girl activity–lol. Praying for you and your fam as you adjust! Warmly, Elizabeth
Oh! I’d love to win.
We love playing outside in the beautiful spring weather!! thanks!
We love to play outside and new toys never hurt the enthusiasm!!
This lloks like so much fun for my boys. Hope I win!
This looks like so much fun! My girls would love it! No problem on the TV thing-we don’t even have TV-Crazy I know!
No kids myself- but I do teach 40 preschoolers. I’m in!
Fun giveaway! What a great opportunity to see what possibilites open up when we turn off the tube!
That would definitely keep my boys outside and away from the tv.
This is a great idea!! With the obesity rate on the rise children need to get back to playing outside like we did.
Thank you
What a terrific idea!!
i hope i win! i love your blog. keep up the good work.
We would have a lot of fun with that!
Thanks for the offer! Looks like a lot of fun for the summer!
I’ve been busy lately and have missed a lot of updates from my blogs. Thanks for this giveaway. With my third boy it seems he watches more television, movies than the other two ever did. Maybe it’s a good thing I haven’t been checking my blogs?
Thanks.
we love to be outside – bubbles and scooters are our favorites rt now!!
So much cool, fun stuff. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I don’t think that I have already entered. Maybe these goodies will encourage some more neighborhood kids out to join us.
Amanda from Homefront Mom
This looks like so much fun, what a great idea! We are cutting back TV here lots, and most days don’t turn it on at all. Although I do confess that I have been known to use it for the older one while I put the younger one down for a nap some days.
My little ones would love this!
Wow! This is very generous. Thanks for the opportunity!

So now I don’t feel so bad that I let the kids play baseball inside! Thanks for the chance!

So fun! My daughter loves being outside!
