5 Minutes for Mom’s Christmas Giveaways

Thoughtfully penned on November 8th, 2007 and generally concerning Blogging News, Christmas Time, Contests, Fall Festivities, Sidetrack'd

The lovely Susan and Janice at 5 Minutes for Mom are hosting an amazing Christmas Giveaway. Over the next two weeks they will be posting a series of contests to win some great prizes – just in time for Christmas giving (or just to keep for yourself). If you are interested in playing along, click the “Christmas Giveaways” button in my right sidebar or click here.

A ring sling giveaway

Thoughtfully penned on September 7th, 2007 and generally concerning Contests, Summer Fun

Sorry for two giveaway posts in a row, but really, that’s all I’ve got right now. :-)

Steph is giving away a gorgeous Strawberry Fields Forever sling from Rockin’ Baby. Winning this sling would be a wonderful start to my collection of babywearing accessories for Little #2 that will be gracing our household in a few months. Rockin’ Baby has some really fantastic fabric combinations on their pouches and slings; better start saving my dollars in the event I don’t win.

Hop over to Adventures in Babywearing for more info on the contest and to see the pretty prize.

Vincent shoes giveaway

Thoughtfully penned on September 6th, 2007 and generally concerning Contests, Shoes anyone?, Summer Fun

Okay, I’m sad to admit that Little is in pretty desperate need of new shoes (seeing how her only pair is too small). So, when Steph posted a giveaway for Vincent Shoes (adorable shoes, btw) I knew I had to sign up. Now I’ve finally gotten around to it.

If you’re interested, the contest ends tonight, so hurry over to Adventures in Babywearing and sign up!

A little of this, a little of that

First, a little of this…

Lauren is so kind; she named me a “Thoughful Blogger”. This was designed to recognize “those who answer blog comments, emails and make their visitors feel at home on their blog; for the people who take others people’s feelings into consideration before speaking out, and who are kind and courteous. This award is for those generous bloggers who think of others.”

I am honored that Lauren thinks of me in this way. Thank you!

And now, a little of that…

I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday!

I’m so excited; yesterday I was able to get a Monk & Neagle CD via BooMama’s great CD Extravaganza! It should arrive in 10 days or so, and I’m sure I’ll have more to say about it after I’ve listened once or thirty times.

Click on the button above or the one in the sidebar to hear some of their music.

Giveaway mania and a contest, too

Thoughtfully penned on July 18th, 2007 and generally concerning Blogging News, Contests, Sidetrack'd, Summer Fun

Man, there are a lot of giveaways and contests going on out in blog-land right now! Here are just a few I thought I would direct you toward:

First, 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a giveaway for $300 worth of gift certificates to purchase Horizon Organic dairy products. That is a lot of milk (and cheese, and yogurt, and…well, you get the idea)!

Next up is a CD Giveaway Extravaganza Gala Spectacular hosted by BooMama. 100 bloggers will get Monk & Neagle’s new CD for FREE! She has been raving about these guys for weeks, and I’ve really enjoyed the clips I’ve heard of their music. The link will be posted at BooMama’s site tomorrow (July 19th) at noon central time.

Then, I would like to direct your attention to the lovely little dog button in the right sidebar. Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer will be hosting the “Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway” carnival beginning Monday, July 23rd. Lots of bloggers will be linking up to give away lots of good prizes. Definitely check this one out! (guidelines are here)

And finally (for now) click on the other button in the right sidebar – the one that says “Summer Cupcake Caper” – to check out GiBee’s fun cupcake baking contest. I’m getting my entry ready (more on that in another post); submissions are due July 25th.

That covers us for now. Hopefully I will win something in one of these!

A Kangaroodle giveaway

Thoughtfully penned on July 16th, 2007 and generally concerning Contests, Sidetrack'd

Steph at Adventures in Babywearing has another great giveaway going on right now. This time the lucky winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Kangaroodle!

Kangaroodle’s online store is filled with cute clothes and great products for the kiddos and moms, too. Take, for example, this dress that would be just too adorable adorning Little’s body.

For anyone out there (ahem, grandmothers, ahem) who are still looking for a great gift for Little’s upcoming birthday, you should check out the good stuff at Kangaroodle.

Oh, I hope I win! :-)

There is also a great new review site up and running called Mama Speaks. It hosts product reviews done by mamas for mamas, and they are always holding giveaways as well. Check it out sometime.

A few giveaways

Thoughtfully penned on July 6th, 2007 and generally concerning Contests, Sidetrack'd, Summer Fun

Just a quick word on a few giveaways out in blog-land:

First, Steph at Adventures in Babywearing continues her summer of awesome giveaways! This time she’s giving away a Podonbutai designed by Jenn at All Natural Mommies. The Podonbutai is an ingenius babywearing device that can be used as a podeagi, an onbuhimo, or a mei tai (the carrier, not the cocktail) depending on your mood, preference, and how you tie the straps. I think Little would be just adorable riding in it!

Then, the ladies at Pinks & Blues blog are giving away a cute Vera Bradley bag and a tub of coconut butter from Sheena’s The Body Shop site.

And last, but not least, Susan and Janice at 5 Minutes for Mom are giving 10 lucky winners The Neat Receipts Scanalizer portable scanner and software. This looks like such a neat product for scanning receipts, recipes, or magazine articles I would like to save for later.

If you would like to join in the fun, click any of the links above to visit the contests.

Yes, I did walk this morning; thanks for asking!
