This giveaway is now over. The winner is Rosanne Morrison. Congrats!

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, The Help is a provocative and inspiring look at what happens when a southern town’s unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship. Here’s a little preview:

I know that I think the movie looks great. The Help will be opening nationwide August 10th. Since this looks like such a great movie, I have arranged for one of my lucky readers to get The Help Prize Pack. In it, you will find:

- THE HELP t-shirt in adult female sizes of S, M, L, XL
- THE HELP pocket jotter & pen
- THE HELP fan

This giveaway is now over. The winner is abitnerdy. Congrats!

I rarely get heartburn myself — only when pregnant or if I eat cocktail sauce. However, ever since Bill had food poisoning, he gets it quite often. If you can believe it, he even gets heartburn from water (I still can’t figure that one out). One of the ways his doctors have controlled it is Prilosec.

Since this is product known and trusted in our home, I wanted to pass along a great deal and a great giveaway to you all!

For the great deal: Buy two 42-count Prilosec OTC products in a single transaction and get a $25 gift card!

And now for my great giveaway! I’ve arranged for one of my lucky readers to get a special Prilosec OTC gift pack with a $100 AMEX giftcard! Here’s what you need to do:

Leave a comment and tell me your favorite guilty-pleasure food! (mine’s shrimp with cocktail sauce!)

What would you do with a million dollars?

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

This giveaway is now over. The winner is Brandy Byrne. Congrats!

What would you do with a million dollars? That is an interesting question, isn’t it? It’s a lot of money, but it’s not. Would you be greedy? Would you donate it? Discover had a great contest that asked this very question, and the winner gets $1,000,000.

After going through over 300 entries, four short-films have made it to the final round of the Discover Card Film Challenge. The films range from funny, to inspirational to dramatic, and most importantly, they’re all original and entertaining. For me, this is my favorite:

Unfortunately, I don’t have a million dollars to give away to a lucky reader of mine. Instead, I do have a 4 pack of tickets to any Six Flags theme park in the United States! (They are good through 1/5/11 and have NO blackout dates). Here’s what you need to do:

Head over to the Discover site and tell me which video is your favorite!

Each of these gives you one additional entry:

1. Twitter about this contest. I’ve made it super easy by adding a tweet button up by the title of this post! You can do this daily — just leave me a comment letting me know.

2. Stumble this post and add this post to other social media sites like Digg, Kirtsy, Blogging Zoom, Reddit, Propeller, Etc. (1 entry for each social network).
