Win Number: 59

Two wins in one week, I am back on my roll people! I am also almost to win number 60. I do read Minnesota Mama's blog very frequently, she holds tons of reviews and contests on a pretty regular basis. She recently held a contest for your choice of some Sandra Magsamen items and I won! I am choosing two of these frames because they are super cute and because you can never have too many picture frames. Go check out her blog and enter some of her giveaways, like I said she is hosting tons!

Update: I received these in like three days, never got anything that fast! I love the frames but the wire that goes into the ceramic part of the frame comes right out and had to be glued.

Win Number: 57

In case you hadn't noticed macy's is having a huge campaign for the American Heart Association. The Go red campaign is all over the internet and all over all my favorite blogs. I entered each one I saw and pledged to wear red, why wouldn't you, macy's will even give you extra off your purchase just for wearing red.

The Mom Reviews hosted one of these awesome giveaways, among many others that I wish I could win, I enter all of her giveaways! I was the lucky winner of the Macy's card, $25 whole bucks to spend on whatever I want! I said I wanted new Martha Plates and that might just be what I get too!

head on over and check out The Mom Reviews, if anything there's a ton of awesome reviews and giveaway opportunities in it for you.

Update: I did receive my Gift card and I will be using it this weekend to purchase a new black shrug to war over a party dress for Saturday!

Win Number: 55

Win Number 55 comes from the Mom blog Three Different Directions. Thanks to Tammy and her blog for hosting a cool Wii game giveaway. This is the first game i have ever won, but I just got Wii this year for Christmas. I can't wait to get it and play and see if i love it as much as Tammy and her girlfriends did. Check them out of at 3DD and check out my cool new game for Wii!

Update: We got our game and it's loads of fun! Only I feel bad because the sqeeballs are cute and you have to creatively kill them, LOL.

Win Number: 53

OMG, it totally worked! I blogged about something I wanted to win, to obtain the extra entries and I totally won it. I worked so hard doing everything possible to get the biggest chance at winning and I did! I am actually really proud of myself. I know since I have won from blessing abound before that I will love my prize and get more than I expected. What a great blog to win from! We picked Diego this Jacket for next winter, I love it!

Update: We got Diego's coat, this is for next year, im happy about not having to buy one! It's awesome quality and has down so I know it's really warm.

Win Number: 52

Thanks to My Wee View for holding some great childrens gifts idea reviews over the holidays. I entered to win an Elmo kinex set and won! I love this for my son, who loves blocks but just doesn't understand them yet. He is the most into cars and trucks right now so this might peak his interest in blocks because it has wheels. I will let you know how much he loves it when it comes, I did see these in the store and they really look like a cute gift idea, maybe if its awesome we can give some away at his birthday party!

Update: I got Diego's Elmo car, I had a hard time putting it together, although it's like five pieces, lol. My mom stepped in and assembled it in like five seconds, Diego loves it of course. Kinex also sent me another huge gift set as an extra, it was for 7+ so I gave it to my neighbors five boys to build. It was a great win!

Ok... So I am starting to do this more now.

It's only because it's stuff I actually want to win, or else i wouldn't go to the trouble right? right?

Ok so hold onto your hat then, Blessings Abound is giving away a fantastic children coat of the winners choice from Rothschild. i have won from Blessing before and my prize came fast and was even bigger than i hoped for so i am all about winning from her again... Plus she is super cute, check out her ear bud review, it's adorable! So go an check it out, but don't enter too many times, because I want to win!

Update: OMG I so won!

Win Number: 51

Finally! I was beginning to think my luck had run out... So we crossed the 50 win mark as well as got our first win of December! It is a pretty great win too. Mommies with cents is a great blog, I go there pretty frequently, they have enormous amounts of coupons to offer, it's probably the best feature of the site. She does a ton of reviews too, mostly for household items. I was the winner drawn to receive the Hana professional flat iron. I have stupid curly hair that I have been trying to wear straight my whole life, so it's a win that will no doubt go to good use. I can't wait to receive it and try it out, my flat iron now is the same one I used in the early 90's, so you can only imagine how bad it preforms as well as how awesome it's florescent green and pink colors are.

Update: Got my flat iron so fast, and with tons of additional extras. I love it and it works great! I definatly recommend it and the blog I won from as well!

Win Number: 50!

Today was my 50th win! I can't believe that I have 50 wins under my belt. It's just a hobby but everytime I win something it's just so much fun! I still enjoy the reading of the reviews and learning about new products and stuff, it my relaxing thing I do.

So Without Further Ado!

Win Number 50 is from The Fabulous Won. I have won one of her holiday gift recommendations, lots of blogs do this, they choose lots of sponsors to be on a holiday list of items. I took home 100 custom photo prints from Less Ordinary Designs. She has a respectably giant Etsy store. I am envious of people who can really succeed on Etsy. Tons of prints to choose from and lots in the Holiday section. Jaime and I are going to choose this one and we will take some photos this weekend for it. I can not begin to tell you how happy I am to not have to print or design these this year, I havn't the time anyways. I will post the design when I get it and tell you all how it turns out once they come to me!

Update: They turned out fantastic, they are super high quality and I sent them all out this morning!!! here's a preview!

Win number: 47

Thanks to Tricia's Dish another great blog about cooking and reviews and such for hosting a slew of giveaways. One which I was very lucky to have won. I will be receiving this stunning necklace from The Pretty peacock, a wonderful and custom jewelery store. I am going to get Jaime and Diego's birth stones put inside. I love this one, it's nice to win something good for myself, it's been a while!

Thanks a million!

Update: I got my necklace yesterday, it is more than I could have hoped for, I am never taking this one off!!! it is beautiful and I love that it's personalized.

Rejected

Well, I got an email from the representative for the photo contest I entered and it would seem that I have been disqualified. Apparently I did not completely follow the rules of the contest. So despite the fact that I received all of the participant emails, was congratulated for entering and encouraged to promote my photo and even had my photo uploaded by said website personnel, I am now officially out if the running. I have to wonder if the fact that I was seriously kicking everyones butts had something to do with it, I am guessing that the other participants got jealous and made some angry emails.

Apperently I am getting a fabulous consolation prize, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't win the big prize that I was obviously shoeing in for. If it was there mistake by overlooking a broken rule this entire time, than why wouldn't they let me continue participating. I am very angry at the amount of web traffic I provided by directing my friends and family members to. How angry should I be though? I mean if I didn't follow the rules than that's one thing, but it would have been nice to have known in time to present and appropriate photo right?

SIGH...

Win Number: 43

Thanks To Emily at Giveaway Today for hosting a great give away, well... Everyday! I visit once a day, even if i am not entering contests. She is one of the few blogs where there is just a review and a giveaway and it's easy to enter, just type your name! If you want extra entries you can always do more but the first one is free. I won a $40.00 gift certificate to Taffy Tree and I can't wait to pick some stuff out. Our Uncle has Diabetis and I bet he would really appreciate some sugar free candy!

Update: This was one of the best wins ever! I got the code to get my taffy super fast, it was shipped super fast and I got SO MUCH! I am sending lots of sugar free taffy to our Uncle who has diabetes because he doesn't get sugar free treats very often like that. I also got a bunch of small bags of assorted taffy to put in stockings this year. It was a great prize.

Win Number: 42

A big thank you to Baby Loving Mama who held a great Yo Baby review and Giveaway. She has tons of great reviews and lots of giveaways too! I am going to get some cool Yo Baby stuff from stoneyfield so Diego can try it. He is finally old enough to try the Yo Baby stuff because it is 6 months and older. Thanks again to Emilie at Baby Loving Mama for the super prize!

Update: I am all out of my free yogurt coupons, Diego love it so I am going to have to keep buying them. He usually eats it for breakfast and by the way I tasted it and it tastes like ice cream, it's so yummy. The vanilla and banana flavors seem to be his favorite. the bowl will come in handy once he starts needed a snack to take with us and the bib is soft and I love it.

Win Number: 40

I finally hit win number 40! If you read enough Mom blogs and review blogs you'll win this much too I guess! One of the more review oriented blogs, it actually looks more like a great website, is My Mom's View. I have probably enter a hundred of her giveaways and I finally scored a win, yippie! It's a great one too! I won a $50 gift card to Eco Bebe Boutique and I have tons of stuff to choose from. I am deciding between the beetle baby chair, the food grinder, and some awesome stainless steel bottles, I might have to go over the gift card limit!

So if your wondering what the Canadian Moms are talking about shoot on over to My Moms View and check it out. She just did a review on "my feet Squeak" shoes and I totally all about those, so awesome!

Update: I ended up speding my gift card on the food grinder, and the stainless steel bottle. I am all about the stainless steel bottle. It has come in so handy and everyone asks me where I got it from! Diego loves water so that is his "water bottle" since the nipples that I use for his milk are to fast of a flow for water. I am super happy with everything I got and in the company!

Win Number: 39

Thanks to Prissy Green because of her great review and giveaway I am getting some Amy's wraps to try! I like Amy's stuff already but I don't normally splurge on it because they are expensive. Thanks again to Prissy Green who does great reviews and stuff for healthy and green products!

Update: I got the prize pack and it included a whole bunch of cool recycled Amy's products and some great coupons for free Amy's products. I gave them to my Nanny who brings Amy's wraps everyday for lunch as a nice treat. It was a great prize!

Win Number: 35

I won Green Earths Journey's Nurture my Body Giveaway. I won some body wash for me, and some body wash for Diego! It's all herbal and natural just the way we like it! (If you read my family blog that is private you'll know soon if the herbal remedy for Diego's colic worked). So Hyla is the blog authoress and she is pretty amazing, she is a Mom of three with one on the way (I think she might be crazy). So more power to her for even being able to think about writing a blog with all those kids running around, WHEW! She does lots of giveaways and reviews and they are all earth friendly, YAY GREEN! so go and check her out, she is super nice and also look at my cool body wash from Nurture!

Update: This win came yesterday and let me tell you that it was one of the nicest things I have received thus far. It was packaged so lovingly with pretty tissues and dried flowers. It came with a note and a very nice hand written thank you. I love the washes and so does my baby, I will go to their store when I need to reorder for sure!

Win Number: 34

Diego just started to grab at stuff and feel things this week. His hands used to be tightly clasped all the time, now he fingers at everything! I have been putting toys in his hands and he even wants to grasp something while he sleeps ( I have been giving him his stuffed monkey's tail). So the fact the I won the giveaway from steals and deals is awesome, I will be the proud owner of a bunch of felt handmade food products from Paisley's playhouse! Diego will love holding these guys for sure and he can drool all over them if he wants (something else he just started to do). Thanks to Amanda at Steals and deals for the giveaway, she does a ton of them so click her on my sidebar, she does great reviews!

Update: We got the felt food and it is great! so lovely! Diego can only have the carrot and banana right now (choking hazard) but he looks so funny holding them, I love it!

Win Number: 33

Normally I don't enter to win books. I don't get a whole lot of reading in and the books never seem to interest me anyway. Wish List Worthy had a book giveaway that was too good to pass up, the "Perfect Baby Handbook". Seeing as how I just had a baby I jumped at a chance to try this book out, plus Aimee at the blog gave it a good review and made it seem funny and practical, just my style! So thanks to Aimee over at Wish List Worthy for the giveaway and the cool book, which I can't wait to receive! Check out her blog from my daily side bar or the link in this post.

Update: I got this book and I read it, I had no idea how funny it was! Seriously I am buying this book for all my friends who have babies. the illustrations are hilarious!

Win number: 32

AHA! I knew I would be back on the winning streak soon, I scored these sweet rain -X wipers and some rain-X merch from "A couch with a view" today. I hadn't read her blog until this week, but you know how I am with the Mom blogs. I can't stop reading them! So out of 201 comments I am the lucky winner (#140). My husband thinks this is an awesome win, he says he knows they are great wipers, so I can't wait to try them out on my Canyonerro, I mean Durango. Thanks to Casey for holding the great giveaway and stop on over at her couch, she does a ton of reviews and giveaways!

Update: I got these in record time! Put them on my car and they work great! they are such good wipers and I can't imagine not having them now. it also came with rain ex product and that works awesome as well!

Win Number 31

I am on Bath Body and Candle a lot, well because I love bath Body and candles so much. They do a giveaway for what seems to be everyday. They are all etsy soap, body supplies, or candle makers. I won one of the soap makers giveaways. I love handmade soap, Jaime and I are hooked after I won the last one. he has taken to the Lush soap now that we have one of those nearby. Klamath Rivers Finest is the awesome etsy store I get to pick soap from, I am going to be picking some peppermint soap and some gingerbread soap me thinks!

Update: The soap took a while to get but it came with some extras which was great of the etsy shop, and she didn't charge me shipping either! My husband said the gingerbread soap was the most awesome smelling soap ever! I loved everything she sent me, im still using the peppermint now!

Win Number 30

I finally won some cute baby shoes! There have been tons of baby shoes promotions from lots of companies on the mom blog market, and I was trying to win some especially because all the mom's give them great reviews. So thanks to Mommy Mandy I scored Diego the pictured shoes from Robeez and some great socks too! he is going to be the most stylin baby around!

Update: Baby shoes are a popular blog giveaway, I still haven't won a pair of "see kai's". I did love the robeez. He has worn all the socks already but not the shoes yet, they are leather soled and really soft though! he should start crawling in about 3 months!
