January 23rd – Weekly Roundup

Posted in Weekly Roundup | 4 comments

I LOVE entering contests all over the blogosphere so I’m super-excited about the upcoming Bloggy Giveaways Carnival! It begins this Monday, January 26 at 9am EST and they are expecting well over 1000 entries. For more information about it, click here.

Not only will I be spending a few hours visiting new blogs and trying to win a few things here or there, but I will be giving away some great stuff right HERE! In fact, the first giveaway will be my biggest to date! I’m not saying what it is just yet… you’ll have to come by on Monday morning and check it out. I can say that it’s something that I reviewed in the not-so-distant past.

If you’re in the mood for entering a giveaway (or two… or three) right now, this is for you:

• I’m giving away a custom DVD from Fodeo. You have until midnight tonight to enter! Don’t forget to enter to win a bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion and a gift certificate from Tiny Prints while you’re at it.
• Lacie at Peanut Butter and Pickle Reviews is giving away a Piggy Paint gift set. Ends tonight (1/23).
• Lee at My Sentiment ExactLee posted some must-read information about SIDS and is giving away a HALO SleepSack wearable blanket to two readers. I used these with both my girls and LOVE them. Contest ends Saturday, January 24th at midnight.
• Kailani is giving away a 15? x 15? poster print from Phokki on An Island Life. This seems like such a great way to do something extra special with your photos. Enter by midnight, Jan 24th.
• Tara, from Feels Like Home, shared an easy recipe for cheesecake truffles using Sara Lee products. She’s also giving away 5 coupons for Sara Lee sweets to one lucky reader! Contest ends January 27th.
• Heather is giving away a large Pamper Perfect Gift Basket from Bella Fratelli Gifts on her blog, A Little Bliss. You have until next Friday, January 30th, to enter.

• Get a free sample of Chocolate Turtle Chex Mix from Betty Crocker!
• Current promotion from Restaurant.com: Save 70% off $25 gift certificates. Use code SAVE and pay $3. Valid until the 26th.

I was touched by the letter that Lydia, from On the Verge, wrote to her daughters. She was inspired by the letter that President Obama wrote to his daughters (in last week’s Parade magazine). Worth reading.

One last thing – I’d like to ask my readers for a little favor. If you have a minute, could you vote for my blog for “Best Mom Blog Header“? I was nominated by my friend Tara. All you have to do is leave a comment saying that you vote for me (#17). I know my chances are slim, but the prize ($100) would be such a blessing right now!

Thanks in advance, and hope you all have a great weekend! We’re about to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. It’s the warmest day we’ve had all year!
