It didn’t surprise me in the least to learn that the fabulous Funky Fleece company was Canadian. Nobody knows cold like us Canucks and getting cozy under some soft warm fleece is the best cure for it! And while Funky Fleece carries the best in fleece blankets, hats, mitts, ponchos and leg warmers did you know that they carry items for all seasons, even summer?
I’ll be honest, in the Mom vs the Boys family we don’t put our fleece away for the warm weather. We love to sneak into fleece pants and cuddle under blankies on cool summer nights, but I was really impressed with the fun selection of fair weather items available. Like the funky baby onesies, sunglasses and pillow case dresses. Okay, let’s pause here for a second. As a mom of three boys and not one girl, these pillowcase dresses seriously make my ovaries ache! They are so fabulously adorable that it makes me want try for that girl!!! And then I remember that my Grandma had 6 boys and I come back to my senses, but if you are lucky enough to have a pint sized princess in your house, these dresses are a must have!!!
Funky Fleece sent me a wonderful assortment of goodies to get to know them better.
An Adult Sized double sided fleece blanket– The large blanket is a really good size, measuring in at 6ftx5ft and comes with two layers of soft thick fleece for extra warmth. One side is a fun print, for us it’s brown camo (those boys again) and the other a dark brown. This was supposed to be for watching movies in the cold basement but my oldest has scooped it up and won’t let it leave his bed.
Beach Wrap with Coconut Ring– Funky Fleece Beach Wraps come in two different styles and an assortment of colours. I chose the Turquoise because it’s so bright and beachy and one of my suits has some matching colours in it. I was happy to find that the wrap is super easy to put on and fit great. I’m looking forward to wearing this at the beach this summer and if Hubster is reading, maybe he would like to wisk me away for our 10 yr anniversary this fall???
Funky Necklace– This was probably my favourite category at funky fleece. I could spend all day looking at the fun watches, bracelets and earrings. The necklace I received is a multi pink diamond shape and I was really impressed to find that the colour and design was on both sides. My necklace pendants are always getting turned around and this one looks pretty either way.

Great contest as always! Thanks!
I think it would be great for any child to experience a third world country so that they have a better understanding of how great our country is – so yes i would have loved to go to one!
Love Funky Fleece. Really like that they are a great Manitoban company. Not only great product, but socially responsible as well – gotta like it1
Yes, I’d always love to go on a youth action trip to a third world country when I was a youth. It’s a life-changing experience.
while I think it would be a great experience, I am and always have been a home body, and going on such a trip would have been too stressful for me.
I need some funky fleece to keep warm
I think I would have enjoyed that as a child. I wasn’t a kid who got homesick so it sounds like a great adventure
I was too shy of a kid to have wanted to travel away from home alone. Now I would love to do something like that!
I think that it would have been great to go to a third world country as a youth to work with people there.
Um… yes, and I did, and it was amazing.
I think I would have been too scared to be so far away from home as a high school student. I’m very impressed with those who do these trips, though.
great contest
When I was young I probably would not have wanted to go but as an adult I wish I had had the experience.
NO, I would not have wanted to go on a youth action trip to a third world country.
A couple years ago I visited the more rural parts of Mexico to help build houses for the less fortunate. It was an eye opener after living in a developed country my whole life. It was the only time I ever visited a “developing” country in my youth and I definitely wish I went on more (but couldn’t because of, ironically, financial strain).
I would have loved to go on a youth action trip to a third world country.
Great contest! Love fleece! Great Canadian Company!
Yes I would have liked to have gone. still would!
Has been a dream to go anywhere since I was about 12
Turkey!
Yes
Nope, not me. I was afraid to go camping because the facilities might be less than stellar and modern! I got more adventuresome as I aged though and could have done it in my 20s.
yes ofcourse, maybe then id be more active in my older years
I believe I would have. I was fearless and adventurous…now not so much but I think it would be a great opportunity for the right individual.
Man this looks exciting!
I would have loved too!
i would have liked to go on a youth action trip to a third world country when I was young, I also would encourage my daughters to do so if the Opportunity ever arise!
I would have loved to have had an opportunity like that.
I probably would not have liked to go when I was a youth for I was much too shy (perhaps if I was in a group of friends).
Cheers.
I would have loved to go as a child – I think that experience would be an eye opener for any child and would really help to feel grateful and appreciative of what we have.
Although I’m sure it would have been a fantastic experience there is no way I would have ever been able to go away so far from home.
I would have loved to have gone on a great youth adventure in my younger days, what a wonderful experience that would have been! {especially if one of my girlfriends went also!}
Yes I think I would have like to go.
I would not of wanted to go.. I am a mom and daddy’s girl… I WOULD NEVER OF LEFT THEM
I don’t think I would have been adventerous enough but would be a great learning experience.
I would have LOVED the opportunity to take such a trip. What a learning experience that would be.
I would have loved it.
no, I was more the stay at home type of person, reading a book, doing a science experiment
I am not sure if I would have liked it or not, but, I grew up in a third world country so I guess I kind of did.
I would have loved to go on a trip like that!
I love traveling and would have enjoyed it.

I don’t think I would have had the nerve to take s trip like that when I was young.
I think I would have loved it!!
I really like the watch. It’s such a neat, unique piece. 🙂
I sure would have wanted to go on a youth action trip to a third world country but the opportunity never came.
I would have loved to go to another country. It would have been an amazing eperience. Although I would have enjoyed it more now as an adult. I would appreciate it more.
As a child I was lucky enough to attend a christian camp that sent teens away overseas to do missionary work. I was too young to go 🙁 but always wished that I could have gone. I think it wwould have been a wonderful learning experience and an amazing way to help my fellow human beings.
Most definitely!
YES, I would have wanted to go on a youth action trip to a third world country and i think all young people should do it to be more conscious of what they have and how lucky there are!
Think it would have been an eye opener and yes I would have liked it

Yes, I would have liked to go on a youth action trip to a third world country when I was a youth. It would have been a great experience to see a new place and people and help out. You would appreciate what you have more too.
Yes, I would have liked to go to Haiti on a youth action trip. Always loved the culture..especially Haitian painters and writers.
That would be 50 years ago or so and I would have loved to do it.
Thanks for the contest.
What a fabulous opportunity that would have been. I would have loved to go.
I sure would have liked to go on a youth action trip to a third world country when I was young. I bet I would be too scared.
Would have liked to but wouldn’t have wanted to go byself, would have only gone with a bunch of friends.
Not sure i would have enjoyed a youth action trip. I did have european trips when i was young to enlarge my horizons though.
Oh canada
I would have gone in a heart beat….. as I would go now if my health was up to it. How could I not want to help.
I would have loved it!
I would loved to have gone. It has always been a dream of mine to travel.
i wish i could have gone! ive always wanted to!
I would loved to have gone on a youth action trip when I was younger. My youth group went to Guatemala when I was a young teen, but my parents thought i was too young!
i wouldve liked to as a kid. i still havnt as an adult and want to, i may wait until my kids are old enough so we can experience it together.
If this was available to me when I was younger, I would have liked to go on a youth action trip to a third world country because it would have been a great learning experience and opportunity to meet new people.
Absolutely YES, it would have been a fabulous learning experience. And experience a lifestyle so foreign to us and to realize how lucky we are. A great chance to realize how others suffer and how important it is for everyone to do their part. I so wish the oppurtunity had been available to me.
Yes, I would have really enjoyed that.
I need some funky fleece to keep warm
Helping out others, especially in other countries not to wealthy was a huge part of growing up as a child. I never got to go anywhere, but over the years I’ve participated in sending boxes and boxes of different items. Everything from toys, clothes, shoes, school supplies to hygiene products.
I would love to have gone on a youth action trip when I was younger. It would have given me so many more outlooks on the different lifestyles around the world and how each and everyone has to adapt to different situation. Would definitely have been a life changing experience
Okay, I’m totally not eligible but I just had to say oh my gosh, your little boy is a total DOLL wrapped up in that blanket! If that was one of my boys I would just want to hug him and hug him because he looks so cuddly! Fleece is the best!
I wish i could have traveled to Haiti. They are in such need or basic life essentials.
I would have loved to! I would love for my kids to be able to go so they could see how some others are forced to live and realize what we all take for granted such as clean water, soap, food and electric.
I would have loved something like that when I was young. What an adventure!
As a youth, I would have loved to have the opportunity join this organization.
Yes, i think I have liked that
I don’t think I would of respected it as mmuch if I went back then. I would respect it much more after having children, being in a committed relationship, and having to work for what i hhvae.
I would have
I would have loved to do a trip like this. It just wasn’t part of our realm when I was a kid.
A trip like that would be amazing! I think it’s important for our youth to learn about worldwide situations and appreciate just how much they really have.
I wouldn’t have been interested in going.
I would have love to have taken this trip when I was a kid
You had a wonderful opportunity! Lucky you. I was never that adventurous.
I would have LOVED that opportunity!
I would LOVE it that is such an awesome experience.
i think it would have been good for me. it would have opened up my eyes
I’m not sure. I was pretty timid back then
It sounds like that would have been a great experience.
absolutely!!

Oh, I would have LOVED to do so!
I would have LOVED to now in my life if I were a youth. Sadly when I was a youth I wasn’t really that great. I was into a lot of trouble. I know now my daughter would LOVE something like this. 🙂
I think I would have wanted to go.
I would have loved to. What a great adventure.
This would have been great and I would definitely have gone.
For sure!
I’m not sure if I could have handled such a trip when I was younger
Yes! I didn’t have the chance.nI hope to bring my kids on volunteer trips when they are older
No, but I did get to go on a helping mission to Poland with my church youth group
probably not. i’m not into adventure
Yes
i would of loved to do something extraordinary like that! I never had the chance or money to do something like that, I hope my children do, and I hope I can join with them.
I would have loved to do that, heck I would still love to do that!
no because i was an imature person but now that would be awsom
I would have loved it, my parents probably not so much
I would have loved to have an experience like this when I was younger, guess it wasn’t as common then as it is now.
rafflecopter name is Julie G.
I would have loved the experience when i was young but not sure if I was mature enough I think I would enjoy it more now taking my own children …
I did want to do something like that – in fact, I still do!
Would have loved to have been able to do this as a child. but it is never to late.
I would have cherished the opportunity to serve.
yes i would have
yes – sounds really interesting! A great opportunity.
Would be a wonderful experience for the abled body person which i am not. But the items are beautiful.
yes, i thought it would be a great experience cause that’s what my parents did
I would probably have wanted to go to a third world country as a youth, but I would have liked to have gone with my adult perspectives and knowledge.
maybe as a kid I would have; but I was pretty shy which may have deterred that
ya i would have innonce and naiveness is wht i miss most about being young nonone would think of hurting me now its scary
I didn’t have the opportunity to travel when I was a kid, so I would have loved to go and experience different cultures.
oh definitely – it sounds eye-opening and I would have loved it
yeah i would have wanted too
Yes I would have wanted too
Yes I most definitely would have liked to!

I would have loved to go on a youth action trip when I was younger. What a great experience
Honestly, probably not. I was never good with heat.
As a young person I would not have enjoyed that. To this day I don’t enjoy traveling and would have been too scared to be so far from home.
I would have loved to do something like that as a youth… as a mother, I sure wouldn’t want my kids to go though.
when i was younger i wasn’t prepared to visit such a place.
Any travel is such a wonderful experience for young people and the opportunity to help in a third world country would have been most welcome in my youth.
I was not very adventurous as a child so that trip would not have been appealing. But now, as an adult, I would LOVE to go!
I’d have loved to go to a third-world country as a teen. I think it gives a great perspective on our own society and “problems”, especially as teens tend often to be a bit dramatic. 🙂
I think I would have enjoyed that when I was young, absolutely. Now that I’m “older”, I have too many responsibilities & deadlines – Oh, to be young again! 😉
Um no, not really.
I would have love to go when I was younger!
Yes, I would have enjoyed a service trip like that! My daughter had the opportunity to go to Mongolia this summer but wasn’t able because of conflicts. She was nervous about going though.
Yes, I would have.
Admitedly, I would not have wanted to go on such a trip when I was younger. I was a total punk – seriously, shaved head, pink hair, piercings – the works. I was an ARtist and only did things that reflected that.
I would have LOVED this opportunity! It would help a youth grow so much in so many ways! 🙂
I have heard so many wonderful things about these youth trips. It would have been a great opportunity
I would have loved to do that! I actually tried to go to Kenya to volunteer there for a year, but my parents thought it would have been too much for me, as conditions in the place I was supposed to visit were bad =(
I would of loved the chance to travel and maybe even make a small difference wherever I went
I would have loved to! What an amazing experience for a youth, thanks for this giveaway!

While they sound like fun for most kids. I would not have wanted to go to a 3rd world country on a youth action trip while I was young. Not because I do not think they are a very good Idea but I was extremely shy. My mom had to send my sister with me just to get me to go with my church to youth camp that lasted 1 week. I was just very scared of people back then. I still am shy but I at least can functions some what in the world today.
I would have loved it, and I still would! However, I went on mission trips in our own country almost every summer!
I have never been but would have loved the chance.
I was registered to go on one when I was 16 but had an anxiety attack at the airport… Good time to find out you have an awful fear of flying.
Oh yes! I would have loved it! I wonder if it would have changed my view on the world and life at a younger age as well, for the better….
No I do not think I would have liked too when I was a kid.
