Prizey Prizey

Well I'm happy to report that I think I have actually received everything I won! Shocking, I know. But I got the CD (which David has been listening to constantly - we moved the CD player into his room), the expensive shoes for this fall, the flag t-shirt - Brazil, btw - will be su re to take a pic of him in it and send to all my Brasilero friends - and my Mommy Needs Coffee shirt. And, I even got a prize I didn't know I had won, a set of two books from ChristianBook.com called Echoes From The Edge by Bryan Davis. They were autographed too. Pretty cool. You know I love me some ChriFi. Now if I could just dig up some time to read them.

Keep a look out on this blog and my Facebook page for pics of the cute kids, we had our meeting with the Our 365 lady today, and as usual they are all phenomenal. Having photogenic children is quite expensive, I must say.

Yay - I won some more!

Some of the contests I entered didn't close until recently, so I have won some more! However a sad note, the adorable little shoes I won from Happy Chickadee are too small for Rachelle. Yes, she inherited her mommy's long toes. This made me sad, as they are every bit as cute as their picture. Never fear, some lucky little girl will receive them. In fact, I think I know just the lucky little girl...

Anyway, here's the tally so far continued from the previous post.

First, unrelated to the Bloggy Giveaways but a blog contest entered previously, I won a kid's flag tee-shirt from Whimsical Walney. The giveaway was hosted by Crystal at Kid Buy Products (ha ha, get it?). I haven't received it yet, and am not sure which flag will be on it (I gave her my top 3) but hey, a little patriotism never hurt any kid, right?

Ok, related to Bloggy Giveaways, I won a couple of shirts for me! Yay for me! The first one I received today - so I know the address I'm giving out is right for sure! This one is the Millionaire Club t-shirt and an Old Navy gift card from Happy Panda. The giveaway was hosted by Pamela at the PMKU blog. While I don't think the agency will make me a million, I do hope we do really well, and yes, I do enjoy getting paid for the work I do. I'm a greedy capitalist, after all.

Second t-shirt (that I just found out about today) is super appropriate given the lack of sleep with a newborn. I won a Mommy Needs Coffee shirt from Zoey's Attic. The giveaway was hosted by Erin at Zoey's Attic. She has a load of super cute maternity/new mommy wear, so for all my preggo friends (of whom there are many) go check it out! And I just found out Erin is local to my area! That is even cooler.


Third thing I've won is for David - he's making out pretty well on this one. I won him some super cute shoes from Eleven Shoes, related to See Kai Run. This one was hosted by Jenn at One House School Room. I picked the James shoes for David for this fall; I think these are so cute and classy for little boys!

So thanks to Bloggy Giveaways for boosting my entering mojo and getting me such cool stuff!

Yay - I won some stuff!

You know how I like to win contests. And the Bloggy Giveaways have hundreds of contests to win all in a single week However I'm aware that there are sooooo many people entering that my chances are slim. This makes a win that much more fulfilling!

First, is not a win from the current Bloggy Giveaways, but from a company who I discovered at the last Bloggy Giveaway - Happy Chickadee. I subscribed to their newsletter and entered a contest listed in that. Look what cute little shoes I won for Rachelle!

Aren't they adorable!!!!

Ok, on to the actual Bloggy Giveaways. First, a disclaimer, as you remember I won several giveaways a few months ago, and most did not reach me. I don't know if people screwed up the address or what, but the fact that I got one of them but not the rest leads me to believe it was sender error. So pay attention to the zip code number order, I realize there are a lot of 3's but I know you can do it!

From Jolanthe at No Ordinary Moments I won a Bible Songs CD - appropriately about King David! I'm so excited that my David will hear all these songs with his name in them, and hopefully understand just how special he is and that God has great things for him too.



Next, I won a book from Kimberly at Mom in the City. The book is Your Pregnancy for the Father-to-Be by Glade B. Curtis, M.D., M.P.H. and Judith Schuler, M.S, the authors of the best-selling book, Your Pregnancy™ Week by Week. It's slightly ironic that Rachelle is only just now 6 weeks old, but I'm still interested to read it (and have Matt read it) and if I think it's good and informative pass it along to friends and family who are expecting - and there are many. I do think it's nice to have a pregnancy book for the daddies, since just about everything out there is all about mommy.


I also won another book from Shannon at Gabi's World - Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace. I'm really excited to read this one, because I've heard so much about Dave Ramsey, and particularly given the state of the economy it's important to make sure your finances are in order. Also, I'm just a cheap person, and want to know that I'm doing everything I can to save money and take care of my family.



For all I know there could be some more good news coming, since not all the giveaways are closed. I sure hope so! But for now, thanks to all the generous bloggers out there (and the unbiased random number pickers like random.org!) who selected me from hundreds of other blog comments. I promise to make good use of my winnings, and, when appropriate, pass them along for others to benefit from as well. Thanks again!
