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.

YEAH!

One of the ‘moms’ that makes www.thebabymarketplace.com ‘work’ and Lizzy working on the truck. I forgot to take pictures until we we’re 80% unpacked.

My hero, Mr. MK. I couldn’t have done this without him. I worked ALL day today, but he has been working nights and ALL day yesterday getting the new space ready. They don’t come any better.

Starting to look pretty good. The new warehouse has two floors. I am hoping that I loose a few pounds running up and down the stairs!

Tomorrow, we’re off for a family holiday … SKIING … yes, again! We like it, alot! I just have about 6 more loads of laundry to get done so I can pack for the trip. ARGGG!

This time we’re taking the nanny and some friends. Should be loads of fun. X’ing my fingers for LOTS of snow and mild temps.

www.thebabymarketplace.com is closed … well sort of … I’ve left the website running and I will be checking a few basic functions each evening, but we are not packing / shipping all week. I have given ALL my employees the week off. To make it up to our customers we are giving 15% off the entire product line. Coupon code is: IamPatient—if you are interested go on over and have a look.

There is a great contest starting later this week. It’s for one of my favorite ‘Rocky Mountain’ products, check back again.

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).

Until recently Sam just couldn’t get it together. Seriously, he couldn’t get anything together … not getting dressed, not brushing his hair and teeth, not eating his breakfast, and he was DEFINITELY unable to come up with his toque and mitts. Many days I’d find him curled up near the bathroom register staying warm (weird but true … and yes, we do heat the house) rather than getting ready. AHHHHH!

However, since we purchased the PS3 he’s is a different wee man. Just check this out:

Not only does he know where his toque and mitts are … he has them ON! Priceless!

He was so excited the first night we had it. Turning it off and going to bed was extremely painful. When he asked me if he could play before school (we don’t allow tv or computer before school), I felt sorry for him and knowing that he’s never been ready and organized for school in his short little life, I said, “sure, BUT only if you are ready”.

He has been ready every morning since. I am sure there is literature out there that says “gaming” before school isn’t good for you. It can’t be any worse than your mother screaming like a BANSHEE and threatening to ring your neck, right?

Oh, the peace! Screw the literature.

Do you do anything you sort of ‘know’ you you shouldn’t just to keep the peace?

I am having another contest! For another pair of Bical Grippers. A bit boring, but I am LAZY (been that way for quite some time … a whole life time in fact). I will draw the winner on Friday, March 21st, 2008 (@ some time). All commenters from now until draw time will be entered to win.

Would you tell a friend? Please? See that little facebook thingy just below this post? That’s a great way to tell your friends!

She just loves these schleich animals, which is good because I heart them too! Now I have someone to buy them for!

Hmmm … maybe I should stock them in the store?

What is your child’s favorite toy?

This Bamboo clothing from Petit Lem is so soft. I wish you could reach out and touch it, because if you could … you’d have to buy it! That my friends would be nice.
