Do you like to get a great deal on something? Save money on restaurants, travel, spas – that sort of thing? I certainly do! And my friends over at RedFlagDeals.com want to help you do the same!

RedFlagDeals.com was started 8 years ago to create a community that helps to identify the best deals available to Canadians. If you haven’t checked them out, you really should! Especially Scarlett Lounge, which offers up deals and brings together everything women love about shopping! And now RedFlagDeals.com is offering up a new service, called Deal of the Day!

And better yet, they’re giving me a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com to give to one lucky reader who signs up!

The Deal of the Day is a group buying site that offers a heavily discounted deal each day (up to 95% off) on local restaurants, spas, events, and attractions. But, for the deal to be activated there must be a certain number of people who buy it. So the more people you share these deals with, the more likely you’ll be able to take advantage of these incredible offers!

The Deal of the Day is launching soon, starting in select cities in the early Fall (just in time for Christmas shopping!) and all you have to do for your chance to win a $100 Amazon.com gift card is sign up! Then leave me a comment telling me what type of group buy you’ve recently bought or that you’re looking for! You can also follow RedFlagDeals.com on twitter to be kept up to date on the awesome deals they have to offer!

*Must be a Canadian Citizen to win. Contest closes August 8th, 2010

Currently, my 2 ½ year old has a slight obsession with Dora as evidenced by my current pvr schedule.

Dora has been a staple in my house for over seven years now. The show, as well as its main character, has been a favourite of my daughter and all of my sons - so much so that we actually refer to it as ‘The Dora Phase’, which I admit is one of my most favourite of all developmental phases.

I enjoy watching Dora but even more, I enjoy my children watching Dora because they are actively engaged throughout the show. They laugh, they interact and most importantly, they learn! Check out this clip of my 2 ½ year old, Joey, counting along with Dora in Spanish.

My kids love all the characters and look forward to spotting each of them in any given episode. They listen to Map tell them where they need to go, and love to help Dora get there safely each and every time. They are always on the lookout for Swiper and ready with a “Swiper no swiping” chant should he show up. I love this, because if they have to be watching TV, I want them watching something that is not only fun and engaging but educational too.

And lucky for Joey, Dora has a new DVD coming out August 3rd – Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure. In the final episode of the Magic Storybook trilogy, Dora and Boots need to get home from Wizzle World! We get to join Dora and Boots on an epic quest to get past a mean witch and find the Wishing Wizzle so they can wish themselves back home in time for Dora’s big birthday party! Which is perfect timing in this house as Joey will celebrate his birthday shortly after this new movie release! So what are you waiting for? Help me wish Dora Feliz Cumpleaños!

And lucky for you, Joey wants to share his Dora love with you!

I'm giving away copies of Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure to five lucky Yummy Mummy Club members! To enter the giveaway just leave a comment below answering the question, "Which character in Dora is your child most like – and why?"

The "Dora's Big Birthday Adventure" contest is open to Canadian residents until August 29, 2010. Winning entries will be contacted via the email address they have provided. Be creative and have fun!

And my answer is... my Joey is most like Boots – because he is always happy, helpful and a bit of a monkey
