Seeds for Survival (GIVEAWAY)
March 9th, 2010Have you ever wondered what you would do in time of a catastrophic emergency? How would you feed your family? Where would you get water? What if there is a food shortage?
Disasters bring these thoughts to our minds that normally stay hidden away in the recesses. And honestly, more often that not we have the mentality that it won’t happen to us so why worry about it.
Hometown Seeds has made a Survival Seed Package that is water-tight sealed and will last, as is, for 5 years or in the freezer for 10 years.

NEW Pampers Cruisers (GIVEAWAY)
March 2nd, 2010
Pampers has launched a new line of Pampers Cruisers that will hit the shelves THIS month on March 15th! The new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max are thinner and more absorbent than ever before. We have been trying out the new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max and let me tell you…they are fabulous. One of the biggest things that you will notice is just how thin they are. So thin that your little one will be able to wear a smaller size pants compared to when they are wearing one of the thick bulky diapers that we are used to seeing. BUT, that thinness does not affect the amount of liquid that these diapers will hold. They are more absorbent than traditional diapers…making leakage non-existent. The little one that we tried these out on was constantly having problems with leakage at night-time. Mornings were spent washing the bedding until we started using the Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max. Now, the bedding is dry and everyone is happy. Another thing that we have noticed is that she is walking so much better than before…because these diapers are not as thick and bulky between her legs and they are super flexible.
In other words, we LOVE the Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max and have decided that they definitely win the Gold!
Thanks to Pampers, I am hosting a giveaway where 1 lucky reader will win a Liz Lange diaper clutch AND a redeemable coupon for a free week’s supply of diapers of the all-new Cruisers with Dry Max!
To Enter: Just visit Pampers.com and leave me a comment stating what you think the best thing about the new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max is. All entries must be received by March 10th at 5 PM EST. All entries must have a valid US mailing address. Winner will be selected randomly and will have 3 days to respond to verification e-mail before another winner will be selected.

Rubbermaid To The ReScUe! (GIVEAWAY)
February 18th, 2010I desperately needed an intervention. My desk is the most horrible spot. I pile it up with every intention of going through things and doing what needs to be and life inevitably always gets in the way. So the piles continue to grow and grow and grow. Then the kids add things to my desk and the growing issue gets worse. I then become ashamed and just shove everything into a drawer to hide it from my own eyes as much as from anyone elses. I seriously need an intervention. See, I will even show you:
I think that Rubbermaid heard my cries of despair. They have developed a No Slip Interlocking Drawer Organizer and they sent ME one. Ohhh, I wonder if someone told them about me and my issues. How embarrassing would that be?
Their No Slip Interlocking Drawer Organizer is great for a kitchen drawer, office drawer, junk drawer and more, the Rubbermaid Drawer Organizers allow you to create any configuration that fits both your needs and your drawer space. The interlocking feature and the no slip feet ensure the drawer organizers stay together when you open and close your drawer. Plus the interlocking feature reduces the chance of small objects falling through cracks and becoming lost.
I LOVE these!! I only want about 100 more. I seem to be a junk drawer addict and have one in every room of my house. Ok, so maybe there are 3 in every room of my house. I never said I was perfect. I just seem to be a pack rat and like to shove everything in a drawer to hide it from visitors. I seriously can’t be the only one. PLEASE tell me I am not alone in this. If there is ANYONE out there like me..there is hope. If I can go from the above to this:
You can do it too! You can visit Rubbermaid.com where they have listed organizational tips to help us all.
And, thanks to the great folks at Rubbermaid, you can enter to win a set of the No Slip Interlocking Drawer Organizers!
To enter: Visit Rubbermaid’s Solutions and leave a comment here telling something that is going to help you to gear up and get more organized. All entries must have a US mailing address. All entries must be received by NOON EST Thursday Feb. 25th, 2010. Winners will be selected by random drawing.

Saucin’ It Up (GIVEAWAY)
February 15th, 2010When I went to Blissdom a couple of weeks ago I took 50 pounds of shredded pork BBQ with me.
NO, I wasn’t going to eat it by myself. Can’t believe ya’ll thought that! It was for the Country Party!
Anyway, Country Bobs sent all of the sauce to go on the meat. And OhMyStinkinHeck it was delicious. I may have cooked the meat, but the sauce made it! Country Bobs also sent each attendee to the party a bottle of sauce to take home and a coupon for a free bottle.
If you aren’t familiar with Country Bobs sauce, you need to get familiar. It is so good. They have BBQ sauce, an all-purpose sauce, a hot-n-spicy sauce and a seasoning rub. And their sauces are good on all types of meat. My whole family loves the sauce and since I had a few coupons left from the party, I would introduce your family to the sauce. So, I am going to have 5 winners, each will receive 2 coupons for a free bottle of sauce.
To enter, just visit Country Bobs recipe section in their site an leave me comment telling me how you would use the sauce. All entries must have a US mailing address.All entries must be received by NOON EST Thursday Feb. 25th, 2010. Winners will be selected by random drawing.
