The 5 Minutes for Mom Ultimate Blog Party is up and running! If you are a first time visitor, welcome to MomReviews, and if you are a regular visitor, welcome to my blog party! Would you like some freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies? I made them just for you!
A little about me- I’m 41 years old, I live in Lansing, Michigan with my husband Chris and our three terrific children Ryan (11), Nathan (9), and Kaitlyn (27 months). Those are Kaitlyn’s eyes poking out of the hole cut in the entertainment center box in my blog banner 
Chris and I started dating the summer of 1985 when I was 18 and he was 17, and we have been together ever since. We got married in 1993 and now have one house, two cars, and three kids! Life is pretty darn good. I’ve been a SAHM since just before Nathan was born, and I am absolutely proud of it. I have no problem telling people that my job is to stay home and take care of the needs of my husband, children, and household. I may not be the greatest housekeeper, but I do my best
So this is a week-long party where lots of bloggers are giving away prizes. I’ve been saving up some great products just for this very giveaway. The listing at 5 Minutes for Mom just says JumpStart World 1st Grade, but I’ve added a few things. Here’s my list of giveaway prizes:
- Three copies of JumpStart World 1st Grade for the PC
- One copy of the brand new DVD “My Friends Tigger & Pooh-Friendly Tails“
- One copy of the new book “The Real Deal Guide To Pregnancy” by Erika Lenkert
- And, the BIGGEST thing I have ever given away, an InGrid Digital Home Protection Home Security Kit, complete with One Year free monitoring, with a retail value of $300 for the kit and $348 for the monitoring!!
The winner of this prize will be chosen by 5 Minutes for Mom. I apologize for the confusion!
I’m giving away these additional prizes because it’s fun to give people stuff!
Rules and instructions:
1. Because I have to ship everything except the home security system myself, this is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.
2. You must leave a comment on this post with the following information:
- Your REAL first name. If you leave a keyword or website name, your entry will be DELETED.
- WHICH PRIZE you would like to win. You can enter to win one or more- just be specific. Comments that just say “this is great” will be DELETED.
- This is not required, but it would make me happy-Don’t have a blog? Do you have a profile page on Facebook? A Flickr page? If you are anywhere online, please leave the URL. When you are entering your comment info, just put the URL for your page after your name and email address. I like knowing who is entering my giveaways, because I’m nosy like that
That’s all you need to do for ONE entry in any of the giveaways. Would you like to earn extra entries? Awesome!
For one extra entry (two entries total), do any one of the following and leave the info in your comment:
- Subscribe to this blog’s feed. Link is in the left sidebar.
- Subscribe to get my updates by email, also in the left sidebar.
- Fave this blog on Technorati, also in the left sidebar.

- No blog? No problem! Mention this giveaway in an email to THREE FRIENDS with a link to this post. Make sure to include the ending date and time.
For two extra entries (three entries total), subscribe or fave, and also do one of the following:
Now those are MY prizes, but there’s also a whole lot of other prizes being given away, and you can see a complete list here. If I’m chosen as a winner, I would love to win:
1st choice #103 Lego Pink Brick box (the boys have their own Legos, these would be for Kaitlyn and me)
2nd choice #58 the Customized 6 Week Workout offered by Go Workout Mom, or
3rd choice #100 Three books and a tote bag from Jill Norwood. More prizes will be added during the week, so I’m sure I’ll find even more that I would love to win!
If those choices are taken, I am also interested in
#76 Lily Cait $25 gift certificate
#24 Sweet n Simple Design blog design
#117 $25 Target Gift Card
#124 Rachael Ray cookbook from Kirstin at Loving Life
#114 Gift certificate to Lush from After a Cup of Coffee

valmg’s last blog post..The Ultimate Blog Party 2008
The JumpStart World 1st grade looks really awesome – if I win, that’s definitely the one I want. Great prizes!
I just wanted to say that I like the idea of real moms reviewing stuff. I’m not going to put my real first name up, though, because I don’t like to have it everywhere. Delete me if you must, but it’s a very unusual name, and when I google it, there I am, 9 out of the first 10 hits are me. I’m trying to preserve my privacy a bit better now that I have kids.
The Jump Start or the DVD would be great!!! Thanks!!!
Hi Sweetie,
Just popping in for my weekly hug!

Enjoy the rest of the party!

Jennifer H.’s last blog post..If You Pray . . .
Jennifer-My sincerest apologies, I didn’t understand how the prize giveaway works I guess
I put up the JumpStart software as a prize in the Blog Party; they will randomly draw a winner for it. I’m really sorry for the confusion.
-Elizabeth
Becky-thanks for entering the giveaway! But I made a mistake, the JumpStart PC games are part of the Blog Party prize giveaway, so 5 Minutes for Mom will be picking that winner. I’m sorry for the confusion
Jamie-thanks for entering the giveaway! I made a mistake in my post, the JumpStart PC games are part of the Blog Party giveaway, so the winners of those will be chosen by 5 Minutes for Mom.
