This giveaway is now over. The winners are valancia, Sharon Seneker, and Nanette Olson. Congrats!
Can you believe that the Olympics start in less than a week??!!?? Crazy, I know. Even crazier? It’s suppose to snow here in Chicago for the next three days. By the time it’s over, we may have a foot of snow. What’s the best thing to do when you have so much snow? Snowball Fights!!
Did you know that there is an International Federation of Snowball Throwing who would love to be part of the Olympics? Until recently, me either! If you think snowball throwing should be an official sport, please sign this petition! This is something that is definitely taking off that even Coca-Cola is 100 percent behind this mission!
Ok, enough with the silliness (though do check out the petition and leave a comment if you like a good snowball fight). I’ve arrange with the IFST and Coca-Cola a pretty cool giveaway. 3 of my lucky readers will win an official IFST t-shirt and a collector’s edition bottle set from the 2008 Beijing Olympics! Here’s what you need to do:
Head over to the IFST site and tell me something you learned (there is a whole post of Q&A about the sport. For example, you can find out how to keep your hands warm).
Each of these gives you one additional entry:
1. Twitter about this contest. Please leave me your username so I can verify. Or use something like this:

I recently posted about our awesome trip to Disney On Ice. I now have another great event that we are going to and I’d love to have a local blogger (or non blogger for that matter) join us! My kids have never been to the circus, so we are so excited that we get to go this year! After seeing their reaction to Disney On Ice, I know that they are going to love it. They love animals — I’m just worried about how many souvenirs we’ll end up walking out with!
