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.

I’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 free 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.

Giveaway #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.

Comments will close Monday, May 5th (Cinco de Mayo!) at 11:59pm EST. Winners will be notified via email, here on the blog, and on Prizey.Winners.

Celebrate your Mother’s Day this year with your daughter in mind. Mother/Daughter gifts and clothing are the featured products at Nikki Knits. You can find matching skirts, dresses and shirts in all styles to match your daughter subtly or exactly at Nikki Knits.

One of the best ideas I’ve found for Nikki Knits matching clothing is a set of PJs for Mother’s Day morning! How cute would your breakfast-in-bed pictures be with you and your daughter in matching PJs?

Think Know you’re the queen? Give yourself your own Crown Jewels t-shirt for Mother’s Day! Just for fun, get your daughter her own princess crown shirt.

Nikki Knits is giving one of our readers a whopping $50 gift certificate just for commenting below and letting owner, Rachel, know what style matching PJ outfit you’d love to have. Enter your comment by Wednesday, April 30th, at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be notified via email, here on Mamas Like, and on Prizey.Winners.

Congratulations to the winner of “Your Name on… Wood” review of Little Painted Polkadots, Terra H “I’d hang the wall art in my son’s room.” Please check your email for your giveaway information.

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.

Congratulations to Mamas Like newest winner of the My Personal Vacation Plan 5-day vacation plan!

Brooke | Our dream vacation? Some kind of an urban city we’ve never been to as a family with lots of great sites to see - architecture, art, and great restaurants. Maybe Chicago?

Please check your email with winning details.

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.

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.

Congratulations to Mamas Like’s latest winner of the $50 gift certificate giveaway from Fun and Sassy Designs from the Write Right review.

#53 Kristi Said: “I would get the personalized note cards for my son who is just starting to write. It would be a good motivator to keep him writing on his own.”

Congratulations Kristi! Check your email for details on your big win!

I know it’s bad grammar, but it sounded good for this title of this review for Fun and Sassy Designs. With the stationery and announcements found at FSD, you will be writing right. Or correctly. (Forgive me, I was a teacher in a former life.)

I’m a softy for cute stationery, so being introduced to this site is just fun at my fingertips. As you know, I’m not a classy lady, but with the notes, cards, and announcements on Jen’s site, I can act like one. Just look at that card <—–. You just know the person who sent that is classy even if she is wearing her best sweats and banana hair clip like me while addressing the envelopes.

Throwing a bridal or baby shower, BBQ, or fiesta and inviting me in the near future? Checkout the ginormous selection of chic invitations at Fun and Sassy Designs like the snazzy one here —–>. I just wish I’d known all about this stationery when I had my girls so I could tell my shower-throwers to get on the ball and send out the cute invites from FSD!

I’ll be using the coupon code offered to Mamas Like readers for 10% off on my order for SOMEbody’s baby shower in the next 4-5 months. Enter code ~ mamas10 ~ at Fun and Sassy Designs for 10% off your order.

Want a spare $50 to spend at FSD? Enter a (that means one and only one) comment here by Friday, March 28th, at 11:59pm EST, letting Jen know for what purpose you’d use your $50 gift card.

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