Believe and Win $25!
This giveaway is now over. The winner is Jessica! Congrats!
This holiday season, Macy’s BELIEVE campaign builds on the great success of last year’s holiday effort to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Due to my cousin having taken part in the Make-A-Wish Foundation (she had a wish granted), I personally am a huge supporter of it. This year, Macy’s is adding to the spirit of “Believe” with a national Santa Tour, an honorary National Believe Day, a “Yes, Virginia” animated special, and a new TV commercial featuring Queen Latifah. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the commercial:
On Friday, December 11th, Macy’s will celebrate the first National Believe Day to recognize and reward acts of kindness and generosity from coast to coast. Also that day, CBS will premiere a new original animated special called, “Yes, Virginia.” at 8 p.m. ET.
How can you win a $25 gift card? I want to know what acts of kindness you are participating in this holiday season. Let me know if it’s something you are doing now or something you plan on doing (like serving Christmas dinner for homeless).

Ringling Brothers Circus Giveaway!
This giveaway is now over. Dawn is the winner. Congrats!
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! 
Now, I have 4 tickets for one family to attend the Ringling Brothers Circus here in Chicago. The winner will have the option of choosing to attend one of the following opening-night shows:
November 5th @ 7pm in Rosement at the All-State Arena
November 18th @ 7pm in Chicago at the United Center
Exciting, right? Here’s what you need to do:
Leave a comment on this post. I’d want to know which show you want to attend and why.

Who’s going to Izeafest??? YOU!!!!
This contest is now over. The winners are Anne and Rob! Congrats and I’ll be contacting them shortly!
As many of you know, I have gone to several conferences over the years (and you’ve all seen the pictures). Now, this will be my third year going to Izeafest, and I want to see you there! Yes, you! If you don’t come, you’ll be missing:
- Speakers like Ted Murphy, Aaron Brazell, Arleen Anderson, Brett Bumeter, Brian Clark, Chris Brogan, Chris Heuer, David Binkowski, George Smith, Joseph Jaffe, Julia Roy, Lucretia Pruitt, Michael Gray, Rae Hoffman, Sarah Austin, Sarah Evans, Warren Whitlock, Wendy Piersall, and Zena Weist.
- Learning how to blog better at the sessions that are offered like developing your brand and traffic strategies.
- Awesome parties and food. (now this shouldn’t be the only reason you go to a conference, but it sure is a good one!)
- Swag (need I say more?)
- A free ticket to Howl O Scream at Busch Gardens for Thursday night
- A free ticket to SeaWorld on Sunday
According to what I’ve been told, you need to pack flip-flops, sunscreen, a laptop, and…oh yeah…your fanciest coconut top. Now, I’ve managed without the coconut top, so you may survive without it. That being said, do you want to go to this conference?
If so, it takes place on October 1 – 4, and I can help you get there! I am giving away 2 tickets (each ticket valued at $229) to the Izeafest conference. You will need to get your own hotel and airfare (I highly recommend Southwest and special rates are being given at Renaissance Hotel.) but I can hook you up to get in.
Here’s what you need to do:
Leave a comment on this post. Look over my blog tell me something you learned like my kids ages for example. Also, I want to know why you want to win one of these tickets! You must do both for your entry to be valid.
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:
