My Son LOVES Looney Tunes (Link to Giveaway)

When I think about my childhood, I remember how much my big brothers enjoyed watching Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny, RoadRunner, and especially the Tazmainian Devil--they loved them all.

I still don't get it! What is so funny about the same critters trying over and over...and over and over...to kill each other??

I do realize, however, that there are alot of Looney lovers out there, and my son is one of them! And that is why I entered the giveaway at Two Boys + One Girl = One Crazy Mom to win this:


If you have a Looney lover in your house, enter HERE by December 29.

I am also a coffee snob. I love good coffee, and good creamer (and a large dollop of whipped cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon, please).

So, I knew I had to enter when I saw that The Dirty T Shirt is giving away THIS:

A Perserve My Son CAN Eat!! (Link to Giveaway!)

A few years ago, we discovered that my son has an unusual allergy...he is allergic to something called benzoate. This is a preservative often used in dried fruits or preserved fruits--especially in jams and jellies. His allergy is not serious, thankfully, so he can have a very small amount without getting sick.

Because of my son's allergy, we have to be very careful what brand of jelly we buy. Most jellies use benzoate as a preservative, and--get this--it is not required by the FDA that it is listed as an ingredient! We have had to learn (sometimes the hard way) which brands are safe, and which are not.


Smuckers is a safe brand! Their preserves are all natural, which is healthier for all of us.

Smuckers has recently come out with some new flavors that I would LOVE to try...especially the Orchard's Finest Michigan Red Tart Cherry. Doesn't that sound wonderful??

I just entered to win an Orchard’s Finest product sampling in branded crate over at The Dirty t Shirt. I would love to have a whole sampling of jellies that are safe for my son to eat!

This giveaway ends on December 15, so hurry over HERE for your chance!

What I Really Want To Give My Husband For Christmas...

For a few months now, my kids and I have been trying to figure out ways to come up with several hundred dollars. Why? So we can buy my husband one of these:

Well, our dreams of buying one have been dashed so many times (okay, they really aren't very realistic dreams, since I am a SAHM and my kids are all too young to work, lol), but one can dream, right?

The other thing we have been trying is to WIN one. Wouldn't it be just SO amazing to win this??

Well, here's another chance! One Savvy Mom is giving away a 42" LG tv!! And I am praying that we will win it. *sigh*

For a chance to win it for yourself (or your husband!), head over HERE. Giveaway ends January 25, so if you or I win it will have to be a late Christmas present. :-)

But, hey, who's going to complain?

Happy entering!

Eraselets Review and Giveaway!! Ends Dec 7

**This is a sticky! Please scroll down for newer posts!**


I can't wait to tell you about this amazing product and company!! I was recently introduced to Eraselets...the bracelets that erase!

We all know how popular those little wristbands are...practically every organization has one. My college-age nephew wears one for Lance Armstrong, my friend and sister-in-law wear one for cancer research, and my kids wear them for fun. Until now...

Now, my kids wear them for function!


Because Eraselets are cool wristbands that erase! They really do! 

What I like about Eraselets:

**They appeal to all ages.

When my package of eraselets arrived, I was amazed at how quickly they 'disappeared'! My children (age 13, 10 and 8) all liked them. Later, when my 18-year-old niece arrived for a visit, she took the last one! I can see children of all ages liking these. They would make the perfect stocking stuffer, birthday gift for a friend, or reward for doing something good!

**They are useful!

I have inherited my Dad's "New England Practicality", so I do not like to buy a gift 'just to buy a gift'. I want a gift that is meaningful and useful...not trivial, yet not boring either! Eraselets fill those requirements by being fun but also useful. They are a hit with almost any age!

**There is a style for everyone!

My favorite style is the Scripture bands: 

 

There are two styles of Scripture bands: The Six Colors of Salvation and Scripture Pack - Sports. Each band has a different Bible verse on the back. Please note that the Scripture Packs are currently only available from Lifeway Christian Stores. (Look HERE to find a location near you.) These are not included in the giveaway.

My other favorite is the Erase World Hunger Eraselets.

100% of the net profit made off of this Eraselet goes to the Erase World Hunger Foundation. That's awesome!
BUY IT!

From now through December 2, Eraselet is having a Stocking Stuffer Sale! All packs are $1.00 off (this excludes Scripture Packs).

Click on any of the links above or go HERE to buy Eraselets! They are available individually or in packs of 6.

WIN IT!

Eraselet has generously offered two retail packs of the winner's choice to one winner! Thank You! Use the rafflecopter below to enter.

Actually, YOU can try to win it, too! The giveaway ends December 11 at 10 pm. Go HERE to enter!

Christmas Cards...It's That Time of Year Again!

Every year I think, "Next year I will get my Christmas Cards done sooner!" Only, every year I seem to be getting later and later...or end up not sending them at all *gasp*.

Well, enough is enough! This year, I am going to get my cards ordered...and sent out ON TIME!

This morning, I took the time to pick out my cards from Tiny Prints. I chose this one:

(front)

(inside)
I love this card! I love that I can add the gorgeous family pics that we had taken this year (finally!). 
I love that I can personalize it (that saves a ton of time!), and I love that I can order matching return address labels if I want:


I am not the best at keeping in touch with family, and so I am determined to keep the Christmas Card tradition alive in my house. Family and friends are so important, and Christmas is the perfect time to remind them of how much we love and miss them (we live far away from our family and many of our friends).

What about you? Are you sending out Christmas cards this year? If you are, you really should check out the gorgeous cards available from Tiny Prints. There are 469 styles to choose from (and that is just their holiday cards...they offer a bunch of other cards also!).  But, hurry! Tiny Prints is having a special sale through tomorrow (Nov 29)!

3 days of cyber savings! 15% off $75+ or 20% off $149+ and free shipping! code: cyber20 | ends 11/29

I am so excited with the card I found, and I can't wait to send them to my friends and family!
Disclosure: In exchange for writing this post, I will receive 50 cards from Tiny Prints. All opinions are my own and are 100% truthful.

Howard Leight SYNC Earmuffs Review

Recently, I won a pair of Howard Leight SYNC Earmuffs from Sharon at Real Life Deals. (Yippee!)

Just a note: I won these on November 12th and they arrived yesterday!! How's that for quick service!


While I had never heard of the Howard Leight brand, I was interesting in the feature of noise-blocking that the earmuffs boast. Since I homeschool my children and part of their work is done on the computer, I am constantly hearing complaints (like "I can't concentrate!", "He's/she's being too loud!", and "Can you please be a little quieter?") while one child was on the computer and the other two were working with me. I love the thought of earmuffs that actually block background noise. (Anything to eliminate distractions while we're doing school is a good thing!)


So, when the earmuffs arrived yesterday, I was anxious to try them out. And I am far from disappointed!!
They are amazing! Now one child can work on the computer while the other two interact, read aloud, or even practice piano without being a distraction! WOW.

LOVE!

As a mom, the thing I absolutely LOVE about these is that (now that my children are old enough that I don't need to supervise them every moment) I can wear these earmuffs and have the sense of being 'away from it all'. I love that I can block out unnecessary noise while I  listen to books on CD or my IPod, or listen to my music. That is SO nice!

I really love these earmuffs, and I would love the opportunity to try some of Howard Leight's other products. I am definitely pleased with the quality and lightening-fast service that I have received so far.

Notice: I was not asked to do this review. The only product I received was the set of earmuffs that I won in this giveaway. All opinions are my own and were given because I am truly impressed with the quality of this product and the speed of the delivery!

Styling Iron Giveaway!

This summer my oldest daughter became more interested in how her hair looks, and suddenly I was having to share my hair straightener. I am all for sharing, mind you, but it does make it kind of tricky when we are both getting ready at the same time...

 Now, my middle daughter is using my straightener, too. I think it might be time to invest in another one! But they are expensive, and with Christmas coming...

Fortunately for me, Hope's Cafe is giving away an HSG Infrashine MST Styling Iron HERE. I hope I win! :-)


Giveaway ends Nov 9, so hurry on over!

The BEST Husband Gift!

I found the BEST gift for my husband today!! I am so excited!

Men are so hard to buy for, and my husband is the worst. He never needs or wants anything, no matter how many times I ask him. He does love sports, though, and he also does all of the grilling at our house (mainly because I nearly burned down our house the first/only time I tried...long story).

So, I about jumped off the couch today when I saw this:

It is a Penn State grilling "sportula", available from Sportula.com. How awesome is that??!

Right now, Contest Corner is giving away one Sportula of choice to two lucky winners! But hurry, because the giveaway ends tonight! Enter the giveaway HERE.

Yay! I hope I win!!

Create Hope Designs and a Giveaway!

Today I found a wonderful blog and giveaway.
