AT&T’s Season of Gifting Sweepstakes

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

With the holidays right around the corner, I am excited to announce AT&T’s Season of Gifting Sweepstakes! From December 1st through December 20th, AT&T will be featuring a deal of the day every day. For those that enter they will get the chance to win smartphones, tablets and more! Now who can’t use any of that stuff? I personally would love to win a tablet. I would have bought myself one this year, but Bill had to replace the tires on his car. You can also ‘nominate a friend’ and share your nomination to have others vote on your story, explaining why you think your friend should win. There will be two lucky winners each day!

As an AT&T customer myself, I am super excited and will be entering every day. How about you?

State Farm Giveaway!

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

This giveaway is now over. The winners are Heather H., shawn, and clarissa. Congrats!

What does your garage look like? Mine is so cluttered that I am way to embarrassed to even take a picture to show you! Yes, it’s that bad. We park the van in one half and the other, well, it looks like a tornado may have hit it. We have stacks upon stacks of miscellaneous stuff. I even think we have a mattress out there! If you are in Chicago (like I am), make sure you check out the Chicago Auto Show from February 11 – February 20, 2011, and explore the State Farm Garage! This will inspire car owners everywhere to transform their ordinary, cluttered garage into something that represents who they are and can call their own. At the State Farm Garage, you will also have the opportunity to enter the Garage Makeover Sweepstakes for a chance to win a brand new garage valued at $35,000. (Anybody not need that? Anyone?) The garage will have fun activities for parents and kids – can you say games and prizes?

Since I don’t have $35,000 to give away to my readers, I’ve arranged the next best thing:

· (1) $200 gas card

· (1) $300 Lowe’s gift card

· (1) Eco Car Care Kit (valued at $49.99)

Since I like to spread the wealth around, I will pick 3 winners. (Each winner will win one of these items: for example, one winner gets the Lowe’s card; another winner the gas card; and so on and so forth.). Here’s what you need to do:

My Ultimate Family Vacation

Sponsored By

Cheerios® is giving you the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your ultimate family vacation. As part of a paid promotion for their “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, Cheerios® is sponsoring my post today about what my ultimate family vacation would be. Read mine, Enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to actually win your own fantasy family trip or one of a bunch of other great prizes.

Our vacation to Disney a couple of years ago sucked. (If you have been reading this blog for a couple years, you’ll know what happened. For those who haven’t, I’ll recap what happened. Madison got sick while we were there, and we spent the majority of our 7 day trip in downtown Orlando with her at the Children’s Hospital. With some help from Disney’s PR people, we were able to make what we had left special, but it wasn’t the vacation I envisioned). I would absolutely love a redo on this trip. There is no way we’ll be able to afford another trip there for a very long time, and I would love my daughter to have happy memories of Disney World instead of the memory of sitting in the hospital. The other thing is that Will is older know and I think would enjoy it more now too. And well, we missed out on seeing a ton of stuff. That trip was Bill’s first trip to Disney World. We even stayed on site, so we wouldn’t miss the magic. However, the hospital didn’t have the same magic.

If we are going to make it the ultimate though, I’d love to say in the resort hotels on site (we stayed in a moderate hotel on site. It was nice, but no where near what those really nice ones are). I’d have the dining plan again, because it was nice not having to worry about the cost of everything. I’d like to have character dinners whenever possible (something else we missed out a lot on). I’d also love for Madison to get done up at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I think she would soooo get a kick out of that. The other ultimate part — I’d love to invite my parents and sister (and her family) and my inlaws (mother, father, brother, and sister in laws and their families).

How awesome would a trip to Disney World with everybody be? Very awesome and my ultimate family vacation.

Don’t forget to enter the “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, for a chance to win your own ultimate family vacation. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.
