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.

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.

Another goodie for our readers? 10% off your orders until the end of May with coupon code ~ MAMASLIKE.

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.

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.

As a girl, I love stuff with my name on it. (Maybe it’s my ego, but I love seeing that “A” on stuff.) And as a former teacher, I love companies that make stuff with my name on it AND for teachers. What could be better? At My Little Monkey Boutique, you can put it all together for some personalized teacher goodness.

I was able to personalize my note cards down to the color of her hair, the clothes, and of course, the name. And because I’m no longer a teacher (rather, a channel to bring you, my blog friends, the best from moms), I designed the personalized stationery specially for my teacher friend as a gift. So, if you love your kiddo’s teacher (as you SHOULD, even if you don’t - make sense?), she deserves girlie stuff with her name on it.

Show of hands - who loves giveaways? (Do it - raise your hand.) My Little Monkey Boutique is giving away a set of 20 personalized teacher note cards to one of our lucky readers. Comment here to let MLMB know which design is your favorite for the teacher in your life. And if you’re a homeschool mama (or daddy), win some for yourself! You deserve it! Giveaway is open until Tues, Feb 26 at 11:59pm EST.

But aren’t you all lucky just for reading what I write? Just for that, My Little Monkey Boutique is giving our fab readers 10% off your rders until the end of May with coupon code LIKE10.

Three friends, or ThreeChickadees, came together four years ago to design fun accessories for both mamas and kiddos. What they ended up with is an adorable line of watches, belts, headbands, skirts, and key fobs for all of us. ThreeChickadees designs all of the accessories themselves created from exquisite ribbons and high-quality products.

My girls love the adorable belts they received, and they match the high quality available in those fancy expensive kiddie stores. Along with belts, ThreeChickadees offers watches with interchangeable ribbon bands to match every outfit and purse. You can even find adorable skirts just in time for summer!

For MamasLike readers, ThreeChickadees is offering FREE shipping until Feb 20th when you use coupon code ~ mamaslike ~ upon checkout.

Giveaway? ThreeChickadees is giving away the watch of your choice ($26 value) to one of our readers! Comment here letting know which watch pattern you’d like, and we’ll pick a winner on Thursday, Feb 21st. Good luck!

Contest is now CLOSED.

Congrats to Marilyn! You are the winner of the Custom 6×6 DOTTY hair bow holder from I Wanted to Wonder! Check for your email from Nancy at I Wanted to Wonder.

Doesn’t that just sound like it goes together? Valentine’s Day & Chocolate. Isn’t that why Hallmark invented Valentine’s Day? So we can eat as much chocolate as we can fit into our bellies and not feel guilty? (Am I asking too many questions?)

The chocolates that are hand-made (yes, hand-made) at Red Thread Confections, need to be your guilt-free pleasure for V-Day. I cannot express to you how GOOOOD these chocolates are to eat/enjoy/inhale. As Backpack says, “Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum! Delicioso!”

Dawn wrote her review a few weeks ago that included a free box of chocolates from Red Thread Confections. And because these chocolates are incredibly goood, they’re giving away ANOTHER medium variety box of hand-made chocolates! Since Dawn’s review, Red Thread has lowered their shipping costs. Now you have NO excuse for not buying your chocolates.

Leave a comment here telling us which chocolate you think would be your favorite, and we’ll pick a winner on Sunday, Feb 10.

If you’re like me, when you have kids, you start paying more attention to the world around us and the impact we have on others. We all want the best for our little princes & princesses, angels & hellions. As you know, the election season is upon us (BTW - if you didn’t know, turn off Dora and turn on the news every other week or so), and we all have to pay attention to what the politicians are politicking. In the end, we must make a choice and stand by that choice as to whom we want leading our country.

Emily at Emily Allyn has made her choice - to make adorable clothes for kids (sorry - couldn’t help myself from the obvious pun) that show your allegiance to your choice in politics. Go ahead - use your kids to further your cause and fetch your shoes. Emily Allyn’s designs are printed on American Apparel t-shirts which are made of soft, quality fabric constructed right here in the USofA. Even if you don’t get your wee child a political party shirt, pick another design like “little monkey,” “peanut,” or “sweet pea” to support American-made products.

Right now, Emily Allyn is offering free shipping on all orders of $20 or more (no coupon code required). Want your own “little democrat” or “little republican” shirt for your little citizen? Leave a comment here with your favorite design (no need to affiliate yourself in the comment if you don’t wanna), and we’ll chose TWO winners to receive your choice of an Emily Allyn design! Giveaway ends on Feb 11.

When I received my Wriskey™, I was incredibly impressed at its presentation just in the packaging in which it was sent to me. It embodied the website’s look to a tee: Sophisticated. Romantic. Chic.

None of these words describe me, but the Wriskey™ gives me a little sense of what it would be like to fit those descriptions.

The fun and functional Wriskey™ keys ring is available in a wide variety of fabrics from Parisian toile to funky doggie bones to fashinista stripes. Constructed from sturdy fabric and quality hardware that holds up over time, yet comfortable on your wrist, the Wriskey™ will save you from losing your keys in the bottom of your purse and a give you a way to hold your keys when you’re sans pockets.

Tara at Wriskey™ Collection is offering our readers 10% off your order with coupon code mamaslike. I know you love freebies like I love freebies, so Tara is offering not one, but TWO Wriskeys™ to two of our readers! Leave a comment on which design is your favorite (mine is the Parisian toile - From Paris with Love), and we’ll chose a winner on Sat, Feb 9th. Check out Tara’s oh-so-fancy blog, Bella Pink Cafe, after you check out her website. It’s tres chic - or something like that.
