Yippee – another contest. This site has been too serious and way too lacking in schwag lately. Don’t you think?

Check out this great new bracelet I picked out this weekend.

I LOVE it!

Which is why I have negotiated one of my favorite contest/giveaways to date. Win up to $100 in jewelry!

It’s easy … follow the instructions below:

1. Go over to GWT and check out all the great Jewelry—pick out your favorite piece UNDER $100.

2. Then come back and leave a link to the particular piece here in the comments (or the current posts comments) and you’ll be entered to win.

Example:

I love the this ring: http://www.globalwealthtrade.com/products/displayItem.php?category=5&item=2688

I told you it was easy—> that actually is my favorite ring … I love it!

Contest ends: May 14th, 2008 @ 11:59 pm.

Here’s the new contest I promised earlier this week.

I am giving away a Gift Set from the Rocky Mountain Soap Company. I LOVE this stuff! (psst … this is not a paid giveaway – Mr. MK chose and paid for this set yesterday (because I asked hime to), while he was parenting and I was skiing).

He did a great job! He picked out “Time to Linger – Alpine Air” – You’ll receive:

1 Bar of Face/Body Soap
1 Body Butter
1 Package of Bath Salt Sore Muscle Therapy

Value: $22+

All the products are handmade in Canmore, Alberta (where we ‘live’ while skiing) and 100% Natural. I think you’ll love them.

www.thebabymarketplace.com along with mommyknows is giving away TWO Ugly Fish Organics Strum Something T-shirts!

Each Ugly Fish Organics Strum Something Tee is comfortable, durable and constructed from eco-friendly materials in the USA. The resulting product is a fusion of function and form that lives up to the needs of our children and their active lifestyle, our planet and the future.

The theme of the Spring / Summer 2008 collection is music, and the hangtags this season reflect both that and Ugly Fish Organic’s quest to teach children to care for and love the planet. Each hangtag is a music note shape crafted out of seeds and recycled paper. When the music notes are soaked in water and planted in a spring garden, they give bloom to beautiful flowers and the recycled paper pulp composts into the earth.

The back of the T says, “Strum Something”. Extremely cute!

T shirts are made of 100% Organic cotton (available in yellow and green in sizes 2T, 3T and 4T).

***
There will be TWO winners – each winner will receive a Ugly Fish Organics Strum Something Tee.
The 1st Winner will be chosen randomly from all new comments posted on all posts March 24th, 2008 and March 30th, 2008 (@ 9:59 pm MT).

This is just a the tip of the iceberg where laundry is concerned. I don’t have the guts to show you the actual laundry room (this is just the pile at the end of the hallway). You’d certainly pity me if you saw the laundry room and probably think less of me too! Sigh I am considering taking it all to the local laudromat where they’ll wash and fold it all for a hefty price. It’s probably worth it!

Here is the Challenge:

What does your laundry room look like? If you show me yours, I might just show you mine. Blog about it, or send me a photo by email (kim @ mommyknows dot com), or even better sign up for with flickr (it’s easy) and upload your photo there, then come back and leave the link in the comments below.

My favorite photo will win a $15 Starbucks gift card.

The ‘Great Laundry Challenge’ ends Saturday @ 9 p.m. mountain time.

Email me please Cindi with your name and address and I will get your bag in the mail.

You could WIN this great Bumkins Grande Diaper Bag from www.thebabymarketplace.com and Bumkins.

These light yet sturdy bags feature a water resistant fabric, durably constructed with light padding and a reinforced bottom. Change the look of the bag completely when you flip it inside-out to show the solid brown. The Grande has eight convenient pockets inside and out, and comes with a change pad. Sized at 15”W x 12”H x 6”D.

The bag I am giving away is the pink version (NOT blue), the good news is: it’s reversible:

You can flip it to brown if you have a boy. I really don’t get it though, the new trendy diaper bags are for you mom, you should pick a bag that you like, not one that suits the gender of your baby. Just my 2 cents.

If you’d like to try and win this Pink Grande Diaper Bag, just leave a comment on any post between now and February 20th @ 9:59 pm (mountain time), one winner will be randomly drawn from all the entries.

I am so excited about THIS contest. Sleep Huggers® are one of my absolutely favorite products, and one that we can’t live without. Every where Georgia goes … her Sleep Huggers® follows.

This was Georgia at 7:30 this morning wearing her Sleep Huggers®.

I love my job (well kind of), but I REALLY love it when free samples arrive at the door! You can just image my delight when the Shooties Popsicle Panache arrived!

I considered doing a give-away, it was momentary lapse! What person in her right mind would give this up? NOT I —no, no, no … we’re keeping this one!

We’re so thrilled with this great gift, that I wanted to tell you all about them:

Shootsie Children’s Blankets are the ultimate accessory for the special little person in your life. These extraordinary blankets are meticulously hand-sewn in Canada using the finest satin and non-allergy fillers. Shootsies are intended as a life long keepsake. They’re 36”x36” of pure delight.

There are tons of great colors to choose from: LOOK HERE!

Soon to be available @ www.thebabymarketplace.com—until then you can order them directly from Shootsie!

Shootsie is offering a 35% OFF Promo to mommyknows.com readers only. Use coupon code: MommyKnows—offer ends Feb 10, 2008.
