Winners and the big 1000

It was hard to choose just one favorite item from HearthSong, wasn't it? There are just so many options for kids of all ages that would make a perfect gift. Let me tell you though, the Great Big Outdoor Playball and Electric Pump will probably always remain number one in our eyes.

Ever since inflating our GBOP, it has remained in our living room. Sure, it's a bit large and somewhat of a surprise for people when they walk into our house, but that's okay. My daughters still love climbing in and out, rolling around and just having a blast with it. I'm really looking forward to when we can bring it outside and really get it rolling!

The very lucky person who will get to surprise their kids with the coolest toy around is...


Congratulations, Merrie L! You're in for some crazy fun at your house!

Big Sister E has been wearing her Petit Couture clothing around and, even though she acts shy about it, she loves receiving compliments on it! The Karate Pants and adorable own-adorned Crew top go great together or separately and she not only looks stylish but is very comfortable. With such a great line of clothing, you almost can't go wrong.

The lucky person who will get to do some shopping at Petit Couture with a $25 gift certificate is...


Congratulations, Shelly! Have fun!

Unfortunately, the time came when we made it to the last mint in Big Sister E's 1-month supply of EvoraKids probiotic mints - it was a very sad day. Considering that she absolutely loved them, they were a great incentive to brush her teeth well and they helped keep her mouth healthy, it looks like it might be time to order more.

The lucky person who will make oral health much more fun around their house is...


Congratulations, Jennifer! I hope these help with the brushing at your house!

Have I mentioned how much I love Chic Monkey Boutique? I'm really glad that so many of you went over there to check out the amazing (and adorable) selection and had a chance to understand how many great things they have to offer! Little Sister B has definitely never had such a luxurious blanket and I can't blame her for wanting to cuddle up with it, it's just that soft.

The lucky person who will get to choose between one of these amazing Minky Baby Blankets or a $25 gift certificate to Chic Monkey Boutique is...


Congratulations, Kristy! Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who entered these great giveaways... as well as the long list of others that I have running right now! I wasn't planning on having so many going on at once, but with all of the wonderful Traveling With Children sponsors, things ended up this way. That just means more chances for winning, right?

Finally, a major milestone was passed on Thanks, Mail Carrier recently. I kept watching the number of followers climb closer and closer... and then I turned away and when I looked back 1000 had already passed by! There is no possible way for me to express my gratitude to every single one of you for coming by and supporting me in this endeavor that I call my blog.

If I could reach out and give all of you a hug right now, I would. Or, if you're not a touchy-feely person, you'd get a big high five instead. Every single one of you has collectively helped to make all of the great reviews and giveaways here possible, so you deserve a little something to celebrate this momentous occasion too, right?

Stay tuned. I'm not going to pile any more giveaways into your lap at the moment, but rest those fingers up because you're going to want to enter what's coming up around the corner...
