Fairies

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Me, at Walmart, perusing Fairies. A phone conversation.

Me: John! I don’t know how to pick out girl presents! (Subtext: They got Cy a REALLY FUN SUPER AWESOME gift for his birthday, I want to do the same for their little girl!)

John: What are you looking at?

Me: There are tons of Fairies! The 12 inch ones, the 6.4 inch ones, the 4 inch ones, and then itty bitty ones! Which one do I pick?

John: Does one of the sizes come with an animal friend?

Me: Looking intently through the different sized fairies. YES! The smaller but not smallest ones do!

John: There ya go.

(This might be funnier if you know John.  But WOW.  He’s got skills yo.)

What a cute party! Thanks for the cake!

So Sad- A Giveaway Ends Without a Winner

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I must suck at blogging or something, because this giveaway did not get the necessary attention to warrant giving it away.  As my giveaways are 90% self-funded, I can’t give stuff away without a certain number of people tossing their name in the hat.  This makes me sad because the book ROCKS, so even if you just grab it from your local library I totally recommend you reading it!  We’ll try another giveaway soon, folks.  No worries!

Have a good weekend :)

A Giveaway- Out of LOVE for this book.

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I finally finished a book I bought awhile ago called The Blessing of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel.  I loved every sentence in the book.  I couldn’t get through 5 pages without going to get a pen so I could circle and write exclamation points in the margins.  Her child philsophy comes straight from Jewish teachings and practices, and although I’m not Jewish myself, I found myself wishing that I belonged to the culture she was describing.  She talks about real things, and her book seems to offer a way to integrate religion into real life, unapologetically, while still living in the here and now.  I can’t find words strong enough to encourage you to read it, so I’m going to give one away.

I feel like I am downright blessed to be able to stay home with my son.  However and in any case, work at home, work out of the home, stay at home, all parents are obligated to raise their children to be healthy, happy members of their community.  I felt it keenly in this book, both the duty and the “how.”

So here it is: Leave a comment on this post to enter.  If I receive 15 (yes, 15!) comments, one person will be picked at random to receive this awesome book.  (A new one, so you can make notes of your own.) I can only ship to destinations in the US, sorry!

This giveaway ends on 7/10/09 at 12pm.

Good luck!

Mouse Paint Giveaway

Monday, May 4th, 2009

mouse-paint

Summertime is soon upon us, and one of my FAVORITE things about summer as a kid were the BOOKS.  Because school was out, my mom would usually sign us up for the local library’s summer reading program which offered incentives to read books off a list and come back to the library for activity days.  I loved it, and decided to do a book giveaway this time around.  This is one that my Mom posted about on Baby Book Club. I love building my library list for Camper, so if you have any suggestions head on over there and leave your ideas.

So here are the rules:

Leave a comment on this post to enter.  Check back on May 22nd to see if you won.  That’s IT!  Oh, one more thing…I’ve decided that I need to get at least 10 entries to do the giveaway, so hopefully we get some interest in this cute little book!

(And sorry, but I can only ship to destinations in the United States.)

The Winner!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Congrats to #3, Laura who didn’t even know these existed!  I hope they help you :)  My Mom picked this time.  I asked her to pick a random number, at which time she said, “What did I win??”  I told her, “You didn’t.  Laura did.”  She said, “Well then.  Tell her ‘no problem.’”

Haha.

Sorry this was late this time guys- the whole doctor situation return of energy/freedom to go out delayed posting today.  More on THAT later.

Because All Mommies Need Sleep (And Daddies, Too.)

Newest Giveaway!  Tell me how many diaper blowouts you’ve had in the last 7 days to enter to win 36 of these little beauties:

Huggies is the only brand (that I’ve found) to offer overnight protection for smaller babies.  This means less changes just because he or she is a little wet, less leaks, and MORE SLEEP.  Anyone who gives me more sleep deserves some props.

The offer is one package, size 3.  No games, just leave your comment to enter for yourself or for someone else.  Giveaway ends April 1st, so get your comments in before midnight.

And the Winner Is…

Giveaway #3 Monkey time!

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Leave a comment about your kid’s favorite past time to enter the raffle for Bubby’s favorite traveling toy. (A new one, of course, not the one my kid has slobbered all over.)

We got this as a gift from a friend and our son can’t get enough of it.  All the different textures and patterns keep him busy during car rides and while shopping.  Plus, it’s pretty cute.

REMEMBER, leave a comment about something your baby loves to do.  If you’re pregnant, tell us about what your baby is up to this week.  If you don’t have a baby and want it as a gift, tell us about who you’d like to give it to.  Random comments will not be entered into the drawing.

(I hate to be a stickler, but hey, it’s lame-O if someone wins just because they say, “I commented.”  And we’ve all seen this happen.)

Drawing ends March 16. Good luck!
