Rubbermaid Storage Containers

2011-09-19T10:13:00.002-06:00

Family dinners are really important to me, so I make dinner almost every night and sit my family down at the table to eat together. All that cooking makes for lots of leftovers - which means lots of searching for the right containers and the lids to fit them. This giveaway has the perfect product to solve that problem! Dishes nice enough to serve dinner, and then you just put the lid on and put it right into the fridge. No searching, no extra dirty dishes... perfect!

If you want to enter, you need to HURRY over to In the Know Mom and enter to win an 8-piece Rubbermaid Glass Storage Container set of your very own. The giveaway ends today, so don't wait!

I really love Glee. I laugh out loud at every episode, and the music is so fun! My husband even gave me a Glee Karaoke game for Mother's Day. Now I just need to get my voice back so we can play it!

I'm pretty sure my husband wants a regular toaster, too, but since I'm the one who lives in the kitchen, I choose the appliances. This way we both get what we want! If you need a new toaster, too, go here to enter at Dear Crissy.

Does hard butter drive you crazy when it breaks your bread apart and doesn't spread? It's not worth using anything less than real butter, but it's still annoying. So check this out: Butter Bell. Love it? Me too! Hurry and enter the giveaway before it's too late!

Back to Sweeping: Take 2

2010-05-25T15:48:00.005-06:00

Did I say I was back to sweeping? I've taken a HUGE break from it, but I've really been missing it lately. So with all my free time.... um, okay, when I'm avoiding things I'm supposed to be doing, I'm going to start sweeping again! Today I'm entering some fun blog giveaways and here's a little peak.

The first one is for a Nintendo DS lite and a game my girls would love. You can find the same contest here. Good luck if you decide to enter!!

Next, you can win a DS Bakugan Battle Trainer game (my girls would love that one, too) here.

You can win a flip video camera just for telling your story of a time when you wished you had one here.

Back to Sweeping

2009-02-20T13:30:00.003-07:00

I took a break from sweeping for awhile, but lately I've been getting into it again. Today I was saying goodbye to my husband when he went back to work after lunch. When we opened the door, we both wondered why a FedEx truck was pulled up in front of our house. Hooray for me, it was a win! - a $25 NCAA gift card to use at an online sports shop. Nothing huge, but still a good way to start sweeping again. Here's hoping for a great year of sweeping in 2009!

Play. Sleep. Love.

Crabmommy

2008-05-10T05:54:00.003-06:00

I love Crabmommy's blog. It cracks me up because I adore my kids but I don't always adore motherhood. Right now my newborn is giving my gurgly smiles at 6:00 a.m. - love the gurgly smiles, not too crazy about the schedule. Right now Crabmommy is offering a cute baby-themed giveaway, and I'd love to win some adorable hedgehog stuff for my little gurgly-smiling tot. Enter here if you want a chance at the hedgehog cuteness, too.

Art Time

2008-05-07T20:20:00.002-06:00

Remember those scented markers when we were kids? I was so in love with those things. Well, I found another product I absoultely love. Smencils!!! They're scented colored pencils.

They're sold by a company called Stubby Pencil Studio who makes eco-friendly art supplies and cute gift cards and other fun stuff for kids. I'm not exactly a kid, but I definitely need to get myself some of these. Apparently their soy crayons are even better than regular wax crayons. I want them! You can enter to win a set here. Good luck to us!

Twisted Silver

2008-05-06T16:13:00.003-06:00

Sometimes when you're entering contests, you find really cute stuff you want to buy if you don't win -- or even if you do... This is one of those for me. Check out the really great jewelry at Twisted Silver and see if you can choose just one favorite. I couldn't choose just one favorite piece, but here's my favorite belt.

You can enter a contest to win a cute bracelet on An Island Life. Good luck!

Closet Sweeper

2008-05-06T15:04:00.000-06:00

Whenever I'm asked about my hobbies, there's one I always fail to mention. It's about time I admit it, so here goes. I am a sweeper. I love to enter sweepstakes and contests and thrill at the thought of even the slightest chance of a win. I have a sister who is also a sweeper, but she is much more open about it than I am. She has even taught workshops for other aspiring sweepers. Maybe the difference is that she has all kinds of wins to prove how not ridiculous her hobby is and how much time she isn't wasting. Me? My wins are limited to a few movie theater and restaraunt gift certificates, a music download (yep, just one), and the occasional "thanks for playing" packet of gum or other such valuable prize. Oh, I did win a pretty nice bike once, but that wasn't online so I never really count that. Silly, huh. I attribute my lack of winning to the minimal amount of time I really put into this closet hobby of mine. I have 5 young children to raise and can't do it sitting at a computer all day. But now I spend hours every day sitting while I nurse my newborn (8 weeks old and such a cutie) and can easily devote that time to my desire for wins. So I updated my OLS premium membership and started entering sweeps like crazy. I'm starting with short entry periods and instant wins, so we'll see how that goes. Anyone out there sharing my love of sweeping and feel the silly need to keep it in the closet? Here's your chance to come out.
