Pocorn and a movie… FOR A YEAR!

Oh yeah, you heard me right! Elizabeth at Table For Five was offered an opportunity to host a giveaway on her blog… A years supply of Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Popcorn and a years subscription for Netflix!

Recently we had to cut back a little and unfortunately Netflix was the first thing to go, so when I saw Elizabeth’s blog post I immediately began to drool over the prospect. ;) My daughters are voracious popcorn eaters so I know they would be just as excited as I am.

Elizabeth only has a few guidelines, so it’s as simple as writing a blog post just like this before January 5th, AND she changed the rules a little so that you can enter each of your blogs if you have more than one.

What are you waiting for? Hurry on over and write that post :D

Christmas Pooh!

No, I’m not talking about Mr. Hanky people ;)

Elizabeth over at MomReviews is having a give away for My Friends Tigger & Pooh - Super Sleuth Christmas Movie.

I won!


I have been wanting to get my girls this DVD since they already have all of the other Barbie movies… but since I entered a blog contest at Pajama Mommy Community to win it, I thought I would hold off on buying it until I found out if I won or not. Yehooo… I think I am on a streak :D I better play the lottery!

Thanks very much PMC!

Weeehooo!

I won, I won !*does the ridiculous shake-the-booty while churning- the -butter dance*
My quest for an iPod finally paid off, due to the regularly irregular pimpage of the ASP homestead. Mr. Fabulous had a contest going a while ago for an Ipod Shuffle, an *cough* iPod accessory *cough*, or a Barnes and Nobel gift certificate. In return, all he wanted was a little pimping, link love and possibly a vote.

Why pimp myself? My daughter wants a MP3 player but I refuse to buy her one. Everyone has their price as they say and evidently mine is anything with an “i” in front of it. ;) Seriously though Anna has been wanting a MP3 player, and though I hate to sully an iPod with only Disney tween music (Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, High School Musical 1 &2, Aly and AJ…), a mommy’s gotta do what a mommy’s gotta do.

This solves our MP3 player dilemma because we don’t want to necessarily buy her something that costs 79$, but on the other hand you get what you pay for right? I have seen quite a few cheaper brands in the 30$ range, but most of them get bad reviews. The other thing is that we ave to consider how much to pay vs how responsible an almost 7 yr old can be.

My only hope is that the truly fab Mr. Fabulous doesn’t change his mind about giving me my prize once he reads this.eek Thanks again Mr. Fabulous! To see the video drawing of my name- from a Blues Brothers hat and an afro wig- you can see it here.*Caution : NSFW or little ears*

Dude, where’s my Nano?

Jason over at Success For Your Blog is having a a contest to give away an iPod Nano. When I found his page I was interested right away, his latest article is titled Make over $20,000 a month on your blog, how could I not be interested? After reading only a few minutes I knew that his blog could be a wealth of knowledge on how to run a successful blog and tips on making money.

I didn’t start this blog to make money, I really enjoy writing about the daily doses of daughter drama… but it doesn’t hurt to make a buck or two in the process. I’m sure I’ll be able to find something to perk up the old blog. ;)

One of the requirements of the contest is to share some blog pimpage and a little linky love, so I think I will link to 2 really nice and COOL people I have just met in the blogosphere.

I realllly want this iPod Nano, so I’ve got fingers, toes and eyes crossed… wish me luck!

Once you have written your post, just make a comment here with the url and *poof* you are entered.

How would you like to win $50 to spend in a vintage children’s store? Kailani of An Island Life is holding a giveaway to Warm Biscuit Bedding Company. Stop by before September 28th for all the details.

I personally loved the little purses and bags that they make since I have been making little purses the last couple of months that I am going to try to sell at craft fairs this holiday season. The designs at the Warm Biscuit Bedding Company are adorable, and you can have them personalized too.
