Quick Little Giveaways

THREE giveaways in ONE post!

Giveaway #1
Ok… I haven’t even run this by Dawn yet, but since all of you loyal readers are coming over to visit, I thought I’d put up the greatest giveaway EVER.

Becuase I Said SoI’ll donate a copy (and I’m SURE I’ll buy 10) of Dawn’s upcoming massively successful book, “Because I Said So,” to a reader.

Yup. A free copy of Dawn’s book. No, I don’t have a copy now. No, I can’t get an advanced copy. But when it comes out, I’ll send one of YOU a copy of Dawns #1 bestseller (fingers crossed). PS - You’ll receive your Note Cardsfree copy AFTER the book is released. Unless I can hack into Dawn’s computer and print it off, read it, make you a copy, then sell it on eBay.

Giveaway #2
One of our previously posted reviewed sites, Paperlicious, is offering a choice of one of their Social Stationery note card sets to a lucky reader. Comment below to let Nikki know which design is your favorite.

Zoobie PetsGiveaway #C
My fabulous website, Good for the Kids, is offering a fancy giveaway. A Zoobie Pet of YOUR choice (based on availability) - a $35 value! Comment below to let us know which Zoobie you wanna win. And here’s some awesome coupon codes: 30% off orders of $100 or more ~ usps30; 25% off orders of $65 or more ~ usps25; 20% off orders of $30 or more ~ usps20; 10% off orders up to $29 ~ usps10

Giveaway entry rules
You can enter all, one, or both giveaways in ONE (and only one) comment:
#1 - To enter to win the copy of Dawn’s book (again, not until it comes out in a few months), leave her a little “I love ya, Dawn” comment. Don’t be lazy and copy my “I love ya, Dawn” note - it took me hours to come up with that.
#2 - To enter to win the note cards, let Nikki know which design is your favorite.
#C - To enter to win the Zoobie Pet, let me know which Zoobie you want to win.

Your Name on… Wood!

EVERY kid I know loves to see anything with their name on it, especially my kids. Knowing this, I have happily reviewed personalized art by Little Painted Polkadots. Adorable is hardly the word to describe the painted plaques offered at LPP.

My girls received a whimsical penguin and a princess crown to adorn their rooms. We immediately put them up on their walls (shocker for me - I wait weeks months to put up wall art). The girls show off their art to nearly everyone who comes to visit.

LPP has so many other kid’s stuff to offer like tutus, wall letters, photo frames, and growth charts. Customization down to the animal or colors is available to all customers. Just ask!

Little Painted Polkadots is offering a 12″ x 12″ Name Art on Canvas ($25 value) for Mamas Like readers. Enter a (that means one and only one) comment here by Monday, April 21, at 11:59pm EST, letting Lisa at LPP know where you would hang your new wall art.

Just for Mamas Like readers, take 15% off your orders from Little Painted Polkadots using code ~MAMA15.

Check back at Mamas Like or on Prizey.Fetch to see if you’re the big winner!

Have a Nice Trip! See You Next Fall!

The vacation-taking season is fast approaching, if not here already. Most of us don’t use travel agents any more, but we still need help deciding what to do in a new city, or even in a place we’ve already been.

That’s where The Personal Vacation Plan can help! You’ve already planned when you’re going, where you’re staying, and how you’re getting there. PVP will help you avoid the annoying question, “What are we gonna do NOW?”

On my recent trip to New York City (see - Rockefeller Center!), my husband and I had a few things already planned that we knew we wanted to see and places we knew we wanted to eat. To help us maximize our time and our trip, I answered a few questions from The Personal Vacation Plan about our lifestyle (ie. what we like to do) and our schedule as we had it arranged already.

From there, PVP took over. We had a DETAILED - I mean really detailed - itinerary chock full places, cost, and interesting tidbits for things we didn’t even know were available for us to do.See! Vaca!

For the anal Type-A personality in all of us and without the time to plan, let The Personal Vacation Plan help you on your next vacation or trip out of town. Even if you’re just visiting family, PVP can provide options for you to have on your trip. No more sitting around playing Wii watching the grass grow waiting for somebody to make a decision. DO SOMETHING on your vacation!

Just for our Mamas Like readers, Angela at The Personal Vacation Plan is offering a free planned day with the purchase of a package. All you need to do is type “Mamas like a free day” in the box at the end of the survey that says “Is there any other information we should know about your personal preferences?” when you purchase your package.

Giveaway you say? The Personal Vacation Plan is giving away a FREE FIVE DAY VACATION PLAN to one of our readers! That’s a $220 value - our biggest giveaway yet! Just comment below on what is you dream family vacation destination. Giveaway ends Wed, April 9, 11:59pm EST. The winner will be posted on Mamas Like and on Prizey.Fetch.
