Blog Makeover Giveaway Going On at Etsy It Up~!

Ok I have had this same style from day one with blogging. I would really like a new look and my own button. I've tried to make it look interesting and all but there is just so much you can do with the free basic design offered by blogger. I don't like the comment section at all. I would love to have a different option for that. I also would like tabs below the header. This would come in handy for not only myself but for my followers as well. So when I received an email from Etsy It Up about a giveaway for a blog makeover I was thrilled~! Check out the review about dumplin design studio and enter the giveaway while your there. Don't wait long because this giveaway ends 3/21 just click here.

Home Construction Improvement Giveaway Is Going On Now~!

Don't miss out on the review & giveaway going on at Home Construction Improvement right now. I just read a review about a great tool that will get the job done. If you have a big paint job that needs to be done then you might want to read the review about the EZ Twist PaintStick. I have a closed in 2 1/2 story hallway and when it comes to washing or painting that hallway it's no fun~! I hate ladders and refuse to use one on a pair of stairs and that's why my hallway has not been painted in 18 years. I have a long handled sponge mop and that is how I wash the hallway walls and ceiling. I keep this long handled mop just for that job. I would like to paint the hallway and I was so excited when I saw the EZ Twist PaintStick. This is the tool I need to get the job done. Of course then I'll want to do the kitchen and the living room oh and why not just the whole house. If you want to enter to win an EZ Twist PaintStick click here to go to Home Construction Improvement.

Alice in Wonderland Prize Pack Giveaway @ Mommy Goggles

I just entered a real fun giveaway at "Mommy Goggles". She is having a giveaway for a Alice in Wonderland Prize Pack~! We have been waiting for this movie to come to our area because we are so excited to see it. We live in a very small community in the middle of no where and it takes forever for new movies to get here. We are always 3 months behind. I try not to read about any of the new releases on blogs or groups that people have seen because it ruins it for us. I end up knowing how the movie ends usually so I avoid it at all cost. However with Alice in Wonderland we all know the movie inside and out and we can't wait to see the new version with Johnny Depp and the graphics. Mommy Goggles has a trailer you can watch that shows some of the new version. It's really an interesting review not to mention while your their you can enter to win a fun filled Alice in Wonderland Prize Pack that includes one OPI Alice In Wonderland Mini Nail Lacquer Set , One Alice In Wonderland Nintendo DS™ game, One Alice In Wonderland soundtrack CD, and one mini poster from the movie. How fantastic is that~!!! If you would like to read her complete review and enter her giveaway just click HERE.

Working for the Census

I'm usually so busy reading other blogs and commenting that I don't have time to write on my own blog. I enter giveaways and blog them here to pass on the links and that's it. But now that I have a little more time I thought I'd write about this family from time to time.
My son is a Senior in High School and graduates this year. He will be going off to college next fall and he needs a job so when I read a post at work that they were recruiting so I decided to give them a call to see what it was all about. I found out you need to take a test first. If you pass the test then they will hire you and then you have to attend training. It sounded fairly simple and they sounded eager to hire. I have seen on the news a few disturbing flicks about these workers having some trouble. These were women and I decided that it's just not safe for women to go alone. We had a few that were assaulted and threatened while knocking door to door. We hear of crime every day on the news which automatically tells you there are some really bad people out there. When working for the census you have no idea who is behind that door and what kind of person you will be dealing with. I must say it is very disturbing thinking about that. With jobs so hard to find some are forced to do jobs they normally wouldn't do. The money the Census pays is real good. A lot hire than most jobs in this area so that makes it even more tempting. Many jobs here pay less than $7 to $8 bucks an hour. For teens working at McDonald's and Dunkin Donuts that is about there pay so for a teen to get a job making more than $13 an hour is real appealing. I just don't know how much I like the idea of my son working knocking door to door for the Census. I keep saying to myself that well he isn't a girl he is a boy. He will be 18 in two months you got to let him do this. He is a strong young man who body builds every day. No one will bother him. He will have his cell phone at all times etc etc. Even though I keep telling myself all this I can't seem to convince myself. Well he took the test and he passed so now if they call in 2 months he will have the job. It is so hard as a mother not to worry. We all do it but this time I just have that pit in my stomach that keeps annoying me. So this morning while having coffee with friends and family I brought up the topic. Well my father age 72 who is retired and spoils all the children rotten pipes up and says he isn't going alone I'm gonna ride with him. He said I like to ride in the country and I don't have anything better to do. Now I thought what a great idea. I will feel so much better. I know we need to let are children grow up and experience life and all but I don't feel that we should disreguard our gut feelings either.

Campus Quilt Giveaway @Lipstick to Crayons

My son is graduating this year and I would love to have a quilt made out of his favorite cloths from the hat he came home in from the hospital to the jersey he wore this year in football. I showed him a shirt that he had made when he was in preschool and a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon came across his face and he said "Mom you saved that?" I said "Of course I did" I just know he would treasure a quilt made by Campus Quilt out of his old clothes. The best part is you can win a quilt from Campus Quilt because Lipstick to Crayons is having a review and giveaway for one. If you have an idea of a quilt you would like made Campus Quilt can do it. They even had one on their site made out of ties. For ideas you can check out Campus Quilt site and click on their tab Pictures & ideas.

A Very Special Heart Giveaway @The Dirty Shirt

Slanket Giveaway @ A Mom's Balancing Act

I'm always cold due to an illness called Rheumatoid Arthritis. I can not regulate body temperature. The Slanket would be wonderful to wear in these frigid cold winters here in Maine. I also would love to have it while attending those cold fall football games. They also have a Siamese Slanket so you can cuddle with your significant other~! How cool is that. They have several colors to choose from and even a few patterns. My son thought the "Walk the Slank " was way cool and he wants that one. They even have a Slanket size for children. You can outfit the whole family with their very own Slanket. I just read a great review at A Mom's Balancing Act and the best part is you can enter to win one. Just click here.

Two Of A Kind Working On A Full House is having a Kolcraft Jeep Giveaway~!

Two Of A Kind Working On A Full House is having another raving review and giveaway. This time it is for a Kolcraft Jeep Trek Easy Travel Playard. This is a wonderful Travel Playard. It has lots of storage and the Playard folds up to a compact size and has a cover for easy travel. The Jeep Playard is meant for children who are less than 35 inches tall and weigh less than 30 pounds. Having a premature baby at 6mo and weighing only a pound at birth I'm sure he will be able to use this for many months to come. He is still in the hospital for now and gaining every week. He will be traveling to and from Nana's a lot and this would come in so handy. Read the complete review and if you would like to enter the giveaway click here.

Win A Magic Bullet @ Leslie Loves Veggies

I just came from Leslie Loves Veggies where she just wrote a fantastic review and is having a giveaway for the Magic Bullet To Go. This is sooooooo awesome because you can take it anywhere because it runs by batteries no cords or electricity needed. My son plays football and I would love to have one to take with us to the game to make smoothies and more~!
We also do a lot of camping and the Magic Bullet To Go would come in so handy. One of our favorite spots has no hook ups but it's worth it because we set our camper right at the foot of the falls and not only is it beautiful but we get to fall asleep with the sound of the falls. We leave our old 1969 camper there all summer and spend lots of weekends there but with no electricity a blender or processor is out of the question so this would be perfect. Not only do you need no electricity but it is small and takes no space which is a big plus because our camper is just a tiny tagalong. Check out Leslie Loves Veggies review and enter to win one while your there just click here.

Jovan Satisfaction for Men & Women Giveaway @ Eighty MPH Mom

I'm the type of person that if I like a product I usually stick to that product. My perfume choice was no different. I have always worn Jovan Musk. I started wearing their product since I was in high school and I enjoy the fragrance so much I have worn it ever since. Jovan has a new line called Jovan satisfaction for Men and Women and I would like to try their new product, not only for me but for my fiance. I have never bothered to try another brand of perfume because I like what I like but because this is from a company I already am currently using I thought it might be nice to check out another one of their fragrances. Because they have this for both Men & Women I thought it would be nice for us to see how the fragrances blend together. I was so excited when I saw that Eighty MPH Mom was having a giveaway for a product line from a company I currently use.

It has so many positions and the hood is large enough to come all the way down to keep the sun out of their eyes too. I was really impressed with this stroller. At Two of A Kind Working On A Full House you can see all the positions and features this stroller has to offer. She has posted lots of pictures too.

Portable Playsafe Playard Giveaway @ Two Of A Kind Working On A Full House

I just read about the SecureSurround Portable Playsafe Playard from over at
Two Of A Kind Working On A Full House. One lucky person is going to win one and it is wonderful.I just love that this is portable. When closed, the inside measures at 18 ½ square feet and stands 27 inches tall. There are 6 32" panels that make it easier to fold and store. There is a convenient walk through door that swings both ways. It is lightweight and weather resistant.
When we go to games or family and friends this would come in so handy. But I also like that with this Playsafe Playard the 3 dogs won't be able to lick the baby steady. If you want to learn more and enter to win one click here.

Want to win an Oreck Halo? Check out The-Not-So Blog Experimental Mommy

I was so thrilled to see that Experimental Mommy at The Not-So-Blog was having a review and giveaway for the Oreck Halo Germ Killing Vacuum because I suffer from Asthma and vacuuming just irritates it and I often have attacks. I've been wanting one of these for a while now. I have been using an Antique Vacuum that my mother handed down to me 25+ years ago and it has no type of filter system at all and the dust it throws up is awful not to mention it doesn't clean my rugs very well at all. I can't get over that it even kills germs. The UV-C light chamber kills many of the germs, bacteria, dust-mites and flea eggs that plague or carpets in a quick, chemical-free fashion. How amazing is that~!!!! If you would like to learn more about the Oreck Halo Germ Killing Vacuum then read her complete review and enter for yourself here.

Musicolor Giveaway @ Product Reviews by The Experimental Mommy

I just read a review about a product called Musicolor. I had never heard of this before. This is a wonderful toy that joins coloring with music. You color these disc (it reminds me of the old record players) then the Musicolor will play notes to the color. It's kind of hard to explain but Experimental Mommy did a great job with this review and if you want to know more just read her complete review but while your there you can also enter to win one. Most children love to color and love music so to combine the two was a brilliant idea. I can't believe no one thought of it before me. (wish I had lol ) If you would like to learn more about the Musicolor and enter to win one just click here.

Uprinting Postcard Giveaway~!

CONTEST GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED

Postcards aren’t just the best bout for your business. These handy products can be customized and used as personal postcards for your baby shower announcement, invitations, note cards, thank you cards and a lot more! I'll be using Uprinting to customize postcards for my son's 2010 Graduation announcements. Graduation announcements through the school were very expensive so I decided to wait and find a better deal and I did through Uprinting. Not only would it be cheaper buying the postcards for my announcements but it would also save on shipping because I'm not using envelopes. We all know how much postage has increased and because I can send each postcard invitation for .28 cents compared to an envelope for .44 cents that's another big savings too. Some of you may enter sweepstakes that request a postcard entry and know that they are around .45 cents each or more. Why not customize your own postcards for fun giveaways and order in bulk from Uprinting. You will save tons by doing this.This is a postcard I created. I wanted a bold colorful postcard so it would stick out. I thought this would work.

You get the picture right. If you would like to check out the Uprinting Postcard Design Template page or to their home page just click on any Uprinting in this post. Now for the giveaway. I know your all excited so these are the details.
