Some links I’d like to share, plus giveaway winner

Written by Elizabeth on April 7, 2008 – 10:15 am -

Good morning, MomReviews readers! I realized this morning as I was writing a post on Table for Five that I have all this stuff going on over there that I haven’t even told you about. I know that some of you read both blogs but some don’t, so before I get to the giveaway, I’d like to let you know about some important things that are going on:

  • You have until tomorrow, April 8th at 9 AM Eastern to enter the $200 American Express Gift Card giveaway I’m having! Please take a minute to visit the sponsor website http://tuitionbids.com, then go to THIS POST to leave your comment and be entered to win.
  • If you have any dollar amount to spare, I have joined bloggers Caffeinated Elf, Karen Sugarpants and MissAnnThrope in raising money to help blogger Lisa from Clusterfook. She has beaten cancer twice but now that bitch is back. Lisa would like to take her kids to DisneyWorld, and we want to help! Please visit THIS POST and look for the PayPal donation button. If you don’t have a PayPal account, you can still donate using a credit card. We want to give Lisa and her girls a wonderful Disney vacation, and every little bit helps.
  • Regular readers will know that one thing I look forward to every year is the BlogHer blogging conference, and I was saving money and donations to go, until our furnace broke and wiped out my savings account. BlogHer has announced a contest to give away a free conference pass, airfare and hotel, and I am asking for your help to win! On THIS POST, I have a link to the “Who’s your BlogHer Hero?” contest-if you think I demonstrate Passion, Innovation, and the Ability to Inspire a Community, please enter me to win. Use email address elizabeth@table4five.net, and my full name is Elizabeth Edwards. The contest is open until May 31st. Nominations are GREATLY appreciated!
  • And finally, if you or someone you know could use a baby sling, I’m giving away a Scootababy. Read all about what a Scootababy is and enter to win one before this Friday, April 11th by visiting THIS POST.

See what I mean? No wonder I titled today’s first post on Table for Five “Just Another Manic Monday”! Oh yeah, and my husband left this morning for a business trip, too. Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

Okay, now let’s get to the winner of the basket of Suave products sponsored by In the Motherhood and M80. I asked entrants to leave a comment telling me their favorite feature of the Sprint Palm Centro cell phone, and it seems that the Google Maps and the MP3 player were definitely some of the faves. I put the names into Random.org’s list randomizer, and the winner is…

Loretta from Just Not Martha! Congratulations Retta, and thanks everyone who entered. My next giveaway is a Baby Einstein DVD, plus I have reviews coming up of Kashi products, the InGrid Home Security System, and a Solar Science kit. And PLEASE, please visit those links at the top of the post. The BlogHer Hero contest is pretty much my only hope to go, and I really want to help Lisa get to Disney, too. Thanks EVERYBODY!!!!

Win a Diaper Bag Tote from Land’s End!

Written by Elizabeth on January 28, 2008 – 9:41 am -

Edited to add: This contest is closed. Congratulations to the winner of the Blue/Green bag-Christi of My Family (she has five young kids!), and the winner of the pink floral bag, Lisa of Osborn Odds-n-Ends (she has an adorable little girl!). Thank you everyone who entered, blogged, and stumbled this contest!

Edited again: Um, I forgot that I have FOUR bags, two of each color! So, congratulations to the other two winners-D from “BlakesMeme” wins a blue/green one (she’s a foster mother!) and Karen from “The S.A.L.T. Blog” (she gave birth to a girl on Tuesday, so what a great new baby gift!)

I am just crazy excited about this giveaway! You see, I have a little addiction to tote bags. As in, my husband says I have too many of them, but I don’t think needing a whole shelf in the linen closet just for my tote bags means I have too many, do you? Of course not! Some women buy shoes, I buy tote bags!

So when Land’s End contacted me-Land’s END, people-asking if I would like to give away four diaper tote bags, and of course I could have one for myself, I just about broke a nail typing back my “yes, PLEASE” reply. And then the package came and I saw what was inside and I just about passed out in my kitchen from sheer joy:

*sigh* Do you see how gorgeous these bags are? The bag on the left has the lovely floral pattern and the bag on the right is blue with little green frogs. Each bag also comes with:

# 6 mesh pockets inside to help you stay organized
# Outside pocket to keep items easily accessible
# Cushiony changing pad included
# Full-zip top for extra security
# Sturdy 100% cotton canvas withstands daily use

I am now the proud owner of one of the pink totes, and I’ve already decided that even when Kaitlyn is completely out of diapers, I’m still going to use it as a regular tote bag.

And now comes the best part-giving away the other four! Here’s what I want to do. Since I have two pink and two green, I need you to leave me a comment saying which color bag you want to win. I’ll do two separate drawings so that the winners get the color they want.

In addition to leaving me a comment, it would be great if you would stumble or digg the post too. My traffic has taken a nosedive lately, so I could use a boost up. You can use the bookmark icons which are right at the bottom of the post.

The contest ends Wednesday, February 6th and is open to U.S. residents only. I know you will love owning one of these beautiful Land’s End diaper tote bags, so good luck everybody!
