Join me for 18 days of Giveaways in July!

My first blog post was July 18, 2008. For a long time it was only open to friends & family and just this year I changed domain names & started promoting it more. But to celebrate three years of blogging, I am going to do a huge event in July—18 days of giveaways. And I’m looking for sponsors.

This is how the giveaway will work. Each sponsor donates a prize and a photo. I am requesting a $15 minimum value for the prize. I will upload the photos into an album on Facebook, and if they want to win your particular prize, they will have to like you (whatever link you send me) and leave a comment under that photo. You can donate just about anything- amazon e-codes, gift cards, etsy/craft items, you name it. All I ask is that you be specific. If your amazon code is only good for diapers, that’s fine, just let us know. Same with gift cards-if they are the gift cards that can only be used for gas, no problem, as long as we know, can publicize it accordingly so that winners aren’t disappointed.

I will be using random dot org to pick winners, and you will be given a name & contact information of your winner. It will be YOUR responsibility to send them the prize.

This is your chance to hook up with dozens of other sites or bloggers and gain followers. I will be publicizing and posting heavily. Your site will also get one plug/post of it’s own, sometime between July 1-18 with links that you can request. I will be highlighting one donor each day. I also will put your button on my site for the entire month of July!

Radio Flyer Wagon on sale

This is really cute. It’s only $59.99 on sale. Click on photo to order from Amazon. Sorry, dead deal already.

More Peebles printables + Peebles cash

Here is a link to some printable coupons for 25% off at Peebles. They also are giving $10 back for every $50 you spend. You will have to actually spend $50 to get the $10 back, it’s not pre-coupons. Still a good deal, since you can stack coupons with sales, therefore you’ll be getting more for your $50. I was just there the other day & spent over $50, wish I had waited just a few more days!

I got these sandals for my oldest son. They were on sale for $19.99 and I had a 30% off coupon. Last year with got them for my youngest son, and I was really pleased with them. They were easy to get on/off for summer months, yet gave his little foot ample support. This year we have a pair of decent hand-me-down Elmo sandals for him, but the older one now needs them.

I also found several shirts on clearance ($3!) for my older son for next fall/winter. They are one of the Peebles house brands, and solid color, waffle-weave shirts, long sleeves. Love them! They also had winter jammies on clearance for a decent price, so got some of them for older son. And, a hoodie sweatshirt, with John Deere logo and it says “Dirt Magnet” or something like that, $9 and I used my other 30% off coupon on that, as it was my second most expensive item.

Funny thing is, I actually went in because I wanted a pair of summer-type every day sneakers for myself, ended up spending $50+ on the boys.  Last year, when Peebles sent me my $10 birthday gift, I actually spent it on those sandals, for my younger son. Yep, got a $10 gift check from Peebles, go in to buy something for myself, came out with shoes for my kid. Such is life as a mom, huh?

Another wine offer + it helps charities!

I got this offer today in my Facebook feed. I had originally ignored it when I saw it in my email (sorry!). It’s spend $35, get $75 worth of credit for another wine vendor. Pfft, whatever, right?

Well, then I saw that if you use the code MOMSROCK you’ll get 20% off. Now we’re talking $28 for $75 worth of wine. Ok, go ahead, I’m listening. I checked out the website of the company offering this deal to see what varieties they have. For every bottle of wine they sell, they donate a % to earth-friendly efforts and/or to the charity of your choice. It appears that if I purchase an $18 bottle of wine, $3 goes to supporting the planet, and $1.90 goes to the charity of my choice. So for my $28, I’ll get three bottles of wine, and $9 to earth charities, and $5.70 to the charity of my choice. Not a bad deal! Check it out!

Now, I just hope that their stuff is decent, and that I didn’t just spend $28 on what will become three bottles of cooking wine.
