Lucky Charms

I must have a lucky charm in my house because I'm on a lucky streak! Sometimes I hesitate to post things on here because I don't want people to think I'm being snooty, but I'm excited for my sweet wins and I've been telling all my family so why not! Oh and it is my blog and I don't think I'm snooty.. ha ha ha! Unfortunately, I typically do not enter contests anymore, I just don't have the time with my family & review blog so I don't usually win things... But check this out --

The beginning of the month I found out that my blog readers through twitter nominated me to be one of the ten to be on the Dick's Sporting Goods Review Panel for 3 months. This was for anyone across America to enter so I was pretty excited! Not sure what all the details are yet, but I hope for it to be something amazing.

Then I got a few gift cards totaling some good $ just for posting things on my site - these opportunities aren't that often to come by. Now you know why I'm buying new "sneakers".

At church we are having the directory put together and Kurt & I won the $100 towards our photo prints so we'll be able to actually have a family one and some to give away.

My most exciting -- I posted about the big eShakti.com woman contest on my review site over a month ago. For people to enter to describe the eShakti woman in less than so many words. Everyone got a $10 gift card, which I didn't spend because I didn't want to spend more than $30. Oh well though - then I found out that I won $50 for coming up with one of the best descriptions - may not have been first, second or third but I thought that was great. I was going to buy a shirt and earrings since that's all it would cover. Well I forgot that there was a blogger contest and whoever was referred the most won a $250 gift certificate. Who won first prize.. that would be me! Boo yah! I already have my cart almost all the way full! :)

So you can see I'm just a little excited here. Not to be snooty and in your face but I'm excited for those things! Win anything lately? Thanks to some of you who referred and nominated me,
I know some of you who read this, did!

Amazing Wins!

I've been wanting to post some pictures of two things I won to share! I just haven't taken the time to take pictures, even though we've been using them like crazy!

I finally got a pouch sling from Rockin' Baby Slings and can someone please tell me why I didn't get one of these sooner? Amelia and I love it and we use it all the time. It's so easy to just slide on my hip and away we go. Not to mention I LOVE the fabric, it's reversible and it zips at the shoulder depending on what size you want it to be at. I actually won this from entering a blogging contest. Kurt took this picture of Amelia and I - don't mind my ugly hair. Bad hair day. Ugh!

This is old news because it's been like a month, but you know when you sign up for those giveaways of a car that are in the mall, or some place like that. I honestly always think nobody ever wins (no I didn't win a car).. well I just happened to be looking at car seats on line (I think) and entered the raffle at Recaro to win a toddler seat. Well I was gone and when I came home there was a message on my answering machine saying I won something. I was like "yeah right... stupid telemarketers" but since the lady actually had my mailing info I thought I better call it back. Sure enough I won a car seat for Landen. Now we have one in the truck and he uses it gets used all the time. Landen loves going places with his dad. I was supier excited!!

Our Baby Bumble

Things seem to be looking up for Amelia today. We do have to go back to the Dr. tomorrow for another blood draw and a urine test because her white count was still elevated. Hopefully the next test will be better and if things stay on the track they have been on today - we'll be as good as new soon. Thanks for every one's continued prayers.

I won this adorable Happy Green Bee petal dress from Goodies for Mom a few weeks back. It's 100% organic cotton and came with stripped tights (too warm for them right now), an adorable hat and lullaby book. The fabric is so soft and it fits Amelia well. I got the toddler small so it would fit her well into the fall. She's going for the look of a little big right now. I really like this dress and she's going to be called our little bumble when she wears it. **These pictures were taken last week - I didn't dress my sickly one up for pictures! =) **

Check out my contest on my review blog, more people that enter, better chance I'll get to do more reviews and contests in the future!

Hair Clips

Isn't my baby girl cute? Yes, I am one of those biased mothers who seriously believes I have the cutest children ever. Hey, that's how it's supposed to be!

I wanted to post this picture of Amelia wearing her new clips from Glamorous Girls Accessories, that we won last week. She was being a little stinker-poo so it was hard to get a picture of her. She's just about crawling.. today I swear she was about to take off. Anyway, Amelia still has pretty thin hair, but these work fabulous with the non-slip grip on them. Glamorous Girls Accessories offers a lot of really cute clips, for a very reasonable price. I look forward to purchasing clips from her in the future. She's great to work with and there is always new things to check out. Cute, Cute!
