Change for the Better: Scott Common Sense $100 Gift Card Giveaway

[CONGRATULATIONS TAMARA (#19) PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!!!]

I had the pleasure of introducing readers to Scott Common Sense, last year; an online community where I found some really useful tips, on several homey-type issues, like, what we're dealing with at our house at the moment, from other members who are...you know...way smarter than me.

 

Like, my friend Amy Clark from MomAdvice.com is now a Scott Common Sense Community featured blogger and, well, not only is she absolutely adorable (DAMMIT!) she is very, very smart, too!

This month, Scott Common Sense Community is all about Change for the Better with tips on:

• building healthy habits
• healthy credit
• conquering holiday clutter
• 10-minute Halloween costumes

I am very proud to partner with Scott CSC in helping to promote their Change for Better campaign -- they've got a $100.00 Visa Gift Card burning a hole in their pockets and, well, I am just itching to share it with you!

Paperspring: Fresh New Personalized Photo Greeting Cards We're Just Itching to Share!

[CONGRATULATIONS - WE'RE SHARING WITH:  Xenia (comment #20) please check your email for further instructions!!!]

I love blogging family pictures (taken with my dinky little point and shoot camera, even) because, I believe that snapshots into the everyday provide a tangible perspective to our story and, one day, will help us each remember the really good times, too.

The good folks at Paperspring.com know this.  How?  Well, in a recent email, they referred to me as, "the eye of the storm in a frenetic household," and I was all like, wow, someone should put that on a t-shirt, because I've been called a lot of things, but I like their description, the best!

Paperspring has been in the printing industry for 40 years, but just launched their new website (www.paperspring.com) allowing folks to personalize photo birth announcements, birthday and shower invitations, thank you cards and more, from the comfort of home.

They had me at "frenetic household," but were kind enough to offer a complimentary opportunity to order personalized stationery, along with a promotional discount code for our readers, along with a chance to share, by having us host a giveaway, as well.

Because, we roll like that!

Kleenex Battle of the Bug Campaign - We Are in it to Our Eyeballs, People!

[THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED: CONGRATULATIONS, VICKIE COUTURIER (#79) PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!!!]

As if parents (like me) didn't have ENOUGH stuff to worry about, right?  I'm getting tons of notes home from schools -- my kids attend four different schools in the district -- about cold and flu season and it can really get downright annoying, after a while, right?

Until, there was a confirmed case of Swine Flu in one of our elementary schools (this week, in fact) and I've had a kid sick home from school, almost every day, since Memorial Day!

We are up to our eyeballs in used tissues, around here, seriously!

Keeping it light -- honestly, I'm worried enough for the both of us -- check out this funny webisode Kleenex has created in support of the Battle the Bug Campaign...wait for it...the ending is totally worth it:

Carolina Pad Giveaway: Fashionable School Supplies and Stylish Office Supplies, OH MY!

[WE HAVE A WINNER:  CONGRATULATIONS, RENEE G. 3/18 - PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS!!!]

Ever since I was little, I loved to play around my mother's desk and pretend that I was, you know, the boss of everybody.  Today, my kids are no different except they don't ever listen to me.

"This is mine, you can't have it!"

The little buggers insist on using all of my note pads and papers, leaving me nothing but lined-loose-leaf paper (not very professional, I think) and I just can't keep enough pens (or, pencils) in the house.

Recently, the good folks at Carolina Pad and Paper were very generous to send us a HUGE box filled with products from their Fashion School and Office Supply collection.

Why?

Because, they asked and I said...YAH!...quite frankly, the girls and I fought tooth and nail over all the awesome stuff inside!

My 10 year-old son, not so much.
