I have won several contests lately.  I mentioned one earlier today and now I’m going to tell you about another one.  Plus I actually have a couple of other ones to tell you about too.  If you are not entering giveaways I don’t understand why not.  It takes a few minutes to enter several each day.  And I’ve been doing that and winning quite a few as well.

So, this is another prize I won from 5 Minutes for Mom.  They were giving away a booked called Henry and the Hidden Veggie Garden by Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Gurney Williams III.  It’s basically a story about a boy who doesn’t want to eat his veggies.  And since I have a girl who doesn’t like to eat her veggies I wanted to win this book.  Now the story is actually a little old for Hailey.  But in a couple of years she is going to love it.  For now she is enjoying looking at the pictures with me while I make an age appropriate story for her.  

Thanks for another great giveaway 5 Minutes for Mom!

I won another giveaway… actually several more. But, today I just want to tell you about the giveaway I won over at 5 Minutes for Mom.  I won this fabulous FURminator for Dottie.  This is so different than any other brush I have ever used on Dottie.  This tool really gets the fur off- you wouldn’t believe the piles of fun that this little FURminator has removed.  Dottie’s coat looks so much shinier and I’m sure she is much more comfortable now that she has all of that fur off of her.  Anyhoo, I can’t say enough about how fabulous this FURminator is.  Thanks for another great giveaway 5 Minutes for Mom!

And in case you read my post yesterday- On the Verge of Insanity, I just figured I’d let you know that today is going much better.  So I’m a little bit further away from insanity than I have been for the last few days.  Although it won’t take much to push me right back to the edge.

One of the biggest fears that parents have is losing their child. Just the thought of Hailey wandering away from me and getting lost makes my stomach turn, my heart start to race and my palms get sweaty. Especially at Hailey’s age of 21 months. If she wandered away from me she wouldn’t be able to tell an adult her name (well, she would but they probably wouldn’t know what she was saying) and as far as she knows- my name is “Mommy.” That is why I think this Velcro ID Bracelet is something that no child should be without. Even if your child is older- if he or she is scared it might be hard to remember all of the information he or she would need to give in the case of getting lost.

On the outside of the bracelet is says “ID Inside.”It is pretty easy to see how it works- you simply velcro it on to your child’s wrist.  Then on the inside is a hidden pocket with a disposable ID card.  It comes with three of these waterproof disposable ID cards where you can write the important information about your child using a permanent marker.

A couple of other important things to note:

• It’s a comfy bracelet- the velcro is not scratchy.
• The bracelet is latex free.
• This is the best choice for children who have sensory sensitivities.
• It’s made in the USA.

So, how would you like to win either the Velcro ID Bracelet or the Child Medical ID Bracelet (this would be a good choice if your child has any medical conditions)?  Here’s what you need to do if you want to win:

• Head on over to My Precious Kid and have a look around.  There are many fabulous items that you will want to consider purchasing for your childs safety.  And everything is so reasonably priced.
• Pick out an item you would like to have and then come back here and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite item is.
• Also let me know what color bracelet you would want if you win- blue or purple.  (The Velcro ID Bracelet only comes in blue.)

Want an extra entry?

• Blog about this giveaway linking to this post and to My Precious Kid and then come back and leave me a SECOND comment with the URL to your post.

If you’re a regular reader of my blog then you know that I have started hosting weekly giveaways.  Each week a new giveaway goes up on Saturday.  I didn’t do one this week because I was on vacation but I have been doing this for a couple of months now and it’s a lot of fun.  I get a lot of extra traffic because of the giveaways I have been doing.  One of the places that most of my traffic comes from is Prizey.  There are a few different ways Prizey works.  You can either just submit your contest (for free) and about half of the time your contest will be listed.  Or you can pay $3 to be guaranteed a spot.  Or you can do what I do- earn points and then use those points to list your giveaways.  If you are looking to increase your traffic this is a great way to do it.  Or- maybe you don’t want to host a giveaway but you’d love to win one (who wouldn’t?)- you can check out all of the listings on Prizey for that too.  I have won several giveaways recently thanks to Prizey.

If you do sign up at Prizey to list your giveaways- please use me as your referral so that I can get some more points to list my giveaways.  You’ll get points to letting them know who referred you too, so it’s a win-win situation.

I have been busy enjoying my vacation visiting with my family, so I haven’t been blogging this week.  I have a few minutes today while Hailey is napping to do a quick post, so I wanted to post the winner of my latest giveaway.  Random Number Generator picked commenter #94 to win a personalized shirt from Sweet Memories and More.  Commenter #94 was Lisa W and after looking around at Sweet Memories and More she said, “I like the personalized plates (The frog is adorable!).”

So, Lisa W, be on the lookout for an email from me so I can get your information.
