Getting ready to adjust our clocks this Saturday night for the Sunday morning time change, we are also scheduling a visit to a participating Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Understanding the tiredness of losing an hour of sleep, participating Krispy Kreme Doughnuts stores will spike sugar levels by granting each guest a FREE original glazed doughnut on Sunday, March 9, 2014.

With no purchase necessary or coupon required, you and your family can yawn over a sweet treat together.

This offer is valid all day long at participating locations in honor of Daylight Savings Time.

If you still have Valentine’s Day coupons to redeem, then note that those coupons expire on Saturday, March 15. Those coupons are good for a FREE doughnut of your choice.

Set those clocks forward, lose your hour of sleep, and gain a FREE original glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme Doughnuts this Sunday, March 9, 2014. Yum!

Enjoying National Pancake Day

March 5, 2014 by Tracy

My youngest was cracking me up this morning. As we were out grocery shopping, she is quoting the Hump Day Geiko Advertisement.

I’m finding this funny because it is not yet Wednesday, so when she asks, “What day is it?” I’m answering, “National Pancake Day.”

This evening, my children and I met up with Paul at our local IHOP for some FREE pancakes. Our waitress was really nice as she kept checking on us and bringing us butter. She also liked our little system as we piled the pancakes in one big stack and ate them one at a time.

You see, IHOP has four different syrup flavors: blueberry, butter pecan, old fashioned maple, and strawberry. Not wanting to mix the different flavors, we only kept one pancake on our plate at a time.

This way, we could each cut up our pancake, pour on the syrup, eat it, and then have a clean plate for the next pancake and a different flavor.

This system also prevented us from wasting food. Our youngest daughter only ate one pancake while my son and older daughter ate two pancakes with one to spare.

By the end of the meal, we had 3 pancakes remaining or one short stack. We packaged them up and brought them home.

Hanging out at our local IHOP, we met two beauty pageant contestants. One of the “princesses” (as my daughters call them) gave each of my girls her autographed picture.

These princesses were visiting each table explaining IHOP’s affiliation with the Children’s Miracle Network and asking for patrons to make donations as they exited the restaurant.

Our family enjoyed celebrating National Pancake Day at IHOP. The pancakes were delicious, and money was raised for a charitable organization. What a great ending to a Tuesday as we enjoyed National Pancake Day!

Question: Did you venture out to your local IHOP for FREE pancakes?

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: Good Grade Rewards

February 27, 2014 by Tracy

Though we are well into the third quarter of the school year, we finally stopped by our Krispy Kreme Doughnuts location for Mr. 8 and Miss 6 to get their good grade rewards from second quarter.

Each quarter, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will rewards students for each “A,” “B,” “E,” or “S” earned on their report card with a FREE original glazed doughnut up to a limit of 6 doughnuts per child.

As my children have more than 6 subjects, they each receive a half a dozen doughnuts.

Usually our Krispy Kreme Doughnuts gives each child his own box. But today, the employee chose one large box with a dozen original glazed doughnuts for both of them to share.

If you have a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts location near you and your child has earned an “A,” “B,” “E,” or “S,” then take the report card to redeem his good grades for up to 6 original glazed doughnuts. Happy earning!

Question: What additional good grade rewards are available to your children?

This weekend we are in for a treat. Participating Bruster’s are appreciating customers with a PJ Day on Saturday, March 1, 2014.

Dress or stay in your pajamas and visit a participating Bruster’s location for a FREE small waffle cone.

Similar to the IHOP short stack pancakes, this small waffle cone is big. If I remember correctly, Paul and Mr. 8 were the only two in our family to finish their waffle cones last year.

Seeing this event via an e-mail in the morning, I waited until bedtime to share the good news with our family.

Oh, the giggles and excitement has started as they remember last year’s event where they chose their flavor and ate the delicious ice cream.

PJ Day runs all day on Saturday, March 1, 2014. Our local Bruster’s is open from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., but in using time wisely, check your local store for participation and times before making a special trip.

Feeling appreciated, our family is ready for PJ Day at Bruster’s. If you attend, then enjoy your sweet treat!

Question: Will you dress in your PJ’s for FREE ice cream?
