A Cowboy’s Wife is having a contest on her food blog! You can win a Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer and she’ll ship anywhere so everyone is eligible!

The Prize:

The winner will receive a brand new
Hamilton Beach 4.5-qt. Eclectrics Stand Mixer, Pineapple Yellow!!

About the mixer:

From Hamilton Beach’s “Eclectrics” line, this all-metal stand mixer comes with a host of accessories - a Flat Beater for cakes and cookies, a Dough Hook for bread and a Wire Whisk for whipped cream or pudding. The 4.5-qt. stainless steel bowl comes with a Pouring Shield that helps prevent splattering while in operation. The pouring shield has a built-in chute for adding ingredients. Powered by 400 watts, the stand mixer has a two-way mixing action to ensure all ingredients are incorporated into the mix. The quick-release, tilt-up head assists when removing the bowl. 9 x 14 x 14-in. When you’re ready for a kitchen re-do, don’t call in the carpenters! Instead, “counterscape” your kitchen with Hamilton Beach’s retro-designed, affordably priced electrics in happy, sun-saturated colors. Their “Eclectrics” line includes updates to those classic appliances from the 1950s. All of their “Eclectrics” are available in six colors: Apple Green, Moroccan Red, Pineapple Yellow, Intrigue Blue, Sugar White and Licorice Black.

One of my online BFF’s is hosting a giveaway at her blog for momAgenda’s desktop calendars! I don’t know about you, but I can use all the help I can get right now… Life is getting a little cah-razy. Sometimes just putting something down on paper is enough to motivate me to get things done.

If you would like to enter the giveaway, head over to Kailani’s blog An Island Life to enter. For extra entries you can subscribe to her feed or write a blog post like this one.

It’s a shiny, brand new year full of possibilities… that need organizing, so scoot and enter today!

I heard about a blog giveaway for 100 bucks a month for a year and I was so overjoyed to hear about it, it actually brought a tear to my eye! This last couple of months have been interesting since taking over the responsibilities of the finances.

Though my poor hubby is relieved to be free of the nightmare that is our check book, I am once again acutely aware of the misery that I had handed over to him over 4 years ago. It’s no secret that John and I suck at money management… it’s just that I suck a little less

Anywho, digressions aside, I’m going to do everything within my powah (said in Darth Vader-ish tones) to win this puppy. I sit here typing with crossed fingers and eyes. :B

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

One lucky blogger is about to win How to Eat like a Hot Chick, can you stand the excitement?

I know. Me too

Notice the loverly 1970’s style faux butcher block counter top. Ooooh! I just want to say bouw-chicka-bouw- bouw *enter cheesy B movie music here*

I realized that some of my favorite bloggers had entered the giveaway, and being that I am often riddled with guilt over the silliest things, I employed my 6 yr old to do the honors.

And my dirty work

And the winner of one almost brand new How to Eat like a Hot Chick book, autographed by me with one teeny tiny coffee stain is…..
Congratulations, Michelle! I’ll be sending it out ASAP!

I am giving away the copy of How to Eat like a Hot Chick I received for review (you can see my review here). If you would like to win a free copy of this book:

One entry: leave me a comment on this post with the link to your blog (please make sure your link is correct before you leave here so I can contact you!) and I will randomly draw one name.

Two entries: leave me a comment on this post and write a blog post about this drawing that contains a link back to this post. If you could, please tell me in your comment that you are also writing a blog post so I can follow you link and check it out, and to make sure you get your two entries!

The giveaway will end Friday, December 21st, midnight Central Standard Time (Iowa) . Blog posts and entries via comments must be written before this time. This giveaway is for everyone, even outside of th US.

Good Luck!

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 was very excited about the possibility of winning it, and said as much in my comments. That’s pretty much all you have to do to enter but you can earn a few more entries too. Head over to her site by clicking the link above and find out how! Good luck!

Need a new Coach purse? Click the link graphic… you know you wanna.

The rules, quoted from Melinda Zook’s site:
Here’s the deal:
1. Comment to this post giving me the nod, “Yo, M, enter me” and the link to your blog of course. You only need to enter once. For U.S and Canadian residents only.
2. Place the “Girlie Giveaway” badge below on your blog letting others know about it.
3. The contest will run from today, Saturday 12/8 through Tuesday, 12/18 to midnight.
4. All those that enter will be assigned a number in order of their comment and the lucky number will be chosen out of my son’s lucky hat. So if I get 100 entries, I guess I am folding 100 little papers!
5. The winner will be announced 12/19. Good luck!

***Sticky post/ Giveaway!***I’m sure you are seeing lots of sites and blogs across the ’sphere going pink. What’s all the fuss, you wonder? If you don’t know already, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It doesn’t matter what part of the world you are in, breast awareness is so important.

There are many sites you can check out and support, I happened to sign up for Blogger Talk and they sent me an email about Pink for October. Friday I told you about Feel Your Boobies, another site that I had found last week promoting breast awareness and self exams, AND National Feel Your Boobies Week is October 12-19. Also as you guys know I started Frisk the 15th a few months ago.

There is the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which is one of the most informative sites out there- not to mention the fact that they are the leading foundation for research, survivors and activists.

To encourage participation across the net I have decided to hold a little giveaway. Please leave your link below if you are participating in Pink for October. My birthday was on the 4th and I decided that for my birthday I would like to donate to The Komen foundation, so … the first 5 bloggers that went Pink and left their link in the linky below, were:

Mama Lee
Shelley
Susie
Slackermommy
Comedy Plus

And they are getting a set of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Exclusive Promise Rings! Thanks for participating everyone.

Even if you aren’t one of the first 5, please leave a link. I’d still love to see your blogs. So get going, and go PINK!

ALSO, I just found out about another giveaway at Slackermommy’s Pink for October post. To enter her giveaway all you have to do is to join in on the Pink for October project, then leave you your link in her Mr. Linky. The prize? A pink digital picture key chain. I want it!
