Heather says:

Thanks to everyone who entered last week’s giveaway. The winner, by random number generation is:

Congratulations Stacy. The e-mail demanding kindly asking for your shipping address is from me, not some crazy stalker. Well, as long as it starts with Heather.

Review and Giveaway: Swingset Mamas

Heather says:
Hey there, Home Eccers! Sometimes those of us with young children have days where we need 45 minutes to cook, to clean, or simply to hide in the bathroom to avoid pulling our own hair out by the handful.

Lizzie Swan of the award winning group Swingset Mamas was kind enough to send two copies of their DVD Swing, Dance and Sing, one to review and one for us to giveaway.

The songs are cute with an educational bent and I enjoy that they are sung by talented adults. There are people who enjoy hearing other people’s kids sing, I unfortunately am not among them. The songs are catchy with engaging rhythms and wordplay. If you enjoy Laurie Berkner, you’ll enjoy Swingset Mamas.

My children, aged 5, 3, and 1, all gave the DVD their version of a thumbs up. The 1yo danced to nearly all the songs, the 3yo whined when I turned off the TV, and the 5yo when pressed for an opinion pronounced it, “Good.”

You have up to three ways to enter our giveaway of the Swing, Dance, and Sing DVD. Simply comment for one entry. If you use Twitter, Tweet about our giveaway and leave the url of your tweet in a separate comment. If you are a blogger, you can post about this giveaway and leave another comment with the url of your post. The contest closes Sunday evening at 8pm EST and the winner will be selected by random number generator and announced Monday afternoon.

This contest is limited to US and Canadian residents.

Good luck!

Awesome New Giveaway: $100 Diaper Cake Giveaway!

Ivy says:

The non-parents in the crowd are probably wondering what in the world a diaper cake is. I know the first time I heard the term, I was mighty perplexed. A diaper cake is an awesome baby shower gift made from (usually) disposable diapers and made to look like a cake. Still wondering what it might look like? Check it out:

Absolutely adorable, am I right?

That picture is a diaper cake by the amazing Diaper Cakes By Becca, the sponsor of this fabulous giveaway. And fabulous it is- the winner of this giveaway gets a gift certificate worth $100 that can be used for any pre-made or custom design. Also, if you live in the lower 48 states, UPS ground shipping is included!

Here are a couple of other examples of diaper cakes that would be in the $100 range (the one already pictured is also in the same price range):

What Diaper Cakes By Becca says about these cakes:

Update On Build A Bear Giveaway

Ivy says:

Whoo, the gas shortage in Nashville has apparently shorted my brain out. That’s all I can figure, because I totally forgot to tell you guys when the Build A Bear giveaway ends. Oy. It’ll end at midnight on Thursday, September 25th. I updated the post to reflect that, and also I added a picture of my daughter with the Hannah Montana Build A Bear!

As usual, I will be choosing the winner via the Randomizer. If you haven’t already gotten your comment, blog entry, or tweet entry in, don’t forget to do so on the original post! Also, keep in mind that you get one entry with a comment and another with a blog post or tweet about it, but you need to leave the link to the blog post or tweet- we don’t have auto linking.

There’s been a great response so far, keep it coming!
