Dora DVD Giveaway!!

Okay, so Tammi over at My Organized Chaos is having a giveaway - and while I sometimes enter giveaways, and I sometimes don't - based on my level of interest, this one I'm DEFINITELY entering!! Tammi is giving away (to two lucky readers!) a Dora the Explorer: It's Haircut Day DVD!! and in case anyone doesn't already know - Goose is a HUGE Dora fan... I mean HUGE!! When she wakes up in the morning (especially on weekends!) she said "I watch Doha Momma?" and when we get home from work/daycare she says "I watch Doha Momma!" and if I haven't caved already and turned it on while making dinner, when she gets in her booster seat she asks "I watch Doha Momma?" and if I still haven't caved - before bed she asks again "I watch Doha Momma?" Seriously. My kid LOVES Dora.

Actually, Dora is currently one of only TWO characters we've bought any "character items" of at our house... She has a few Dora DVD's (Christmas, birthday, just because & Easter presents) she has Dora books (for those same events) she has a Dora toothbrush, a Dora sippy cup, and a few hand-me-down/second-hand-shop/Mom2MomSale purchased Dora shirts/jammies... she loves Dora. (The other character, if you're wondering - is Tinkerbell. She has light-up Tink shoes, and a Tink card table & chairs - which is actually still in the box in the garage, as we bought it as a Christmas or birthday gift - and she STILL has enough other stuff and little room that it just hasn't been opened yet - she doesn't even know she has it! Of course, she IS only two...)

ANYWAY - if you have little ones that love Dora and you want a chance to win a Dora DVD (it has 4 episodes including Boots' first haircut, the Super Babies' 1st birthday, and two others... I don't remember what they were though - go check the giveaway to find out!) If you don't win - you can purchase it on Amazon for a discounted price :)

what are you waiting for?? GO ENTER!!

Hot Mama Handbags Giveaway!!

so I've been looking for a new purse for a while now... my current purse is just too tiny (and jam-packed full of course!) and other purses I have hanging around (read: stuffed in the bottom of my closet) aren't going to cut the mustard either... what I've been looking for is something cute, not excessively huge, but large enough to fit a small container of wipes, a diaper or two, and if I could fit a sippy cup, a paci, as well as my miscellaneous crap (i.e. wallet, change, chapstick, mascara, etc.) that would be like... oh... just magical. my current diaper bag is fantastic - but its a back-pack style diaper bag, I'm looking for a purse that could hold a few extras, not a new diaper bag :) ENTER Hot Mama Handbags!! I just found this giveaway sponsored by Newly Wed Newly Bred - and I'm spreading the news :) these handbags look awesome, they're chic, stylish, and best of all - customizable!! saweet!! I'm soooo hoping to win one of these - but in the event that I don't... I just might have to ask for one for my birthday ;)

Boba Carrier Contest

I've been considering for a while now the need (or lack of) for a new carrier for Goose... when she was younger I used the Infantino Front-to-Back carrier, and really liked it a lot.. But when my niece Cupcake was born 7 months after Goose, I traded carriers with my sister, who had received the Infantino Side Rider as a shower gift. The Side Rider has a higher weight requirement, so I let her borrow the Front-to-Back and started using the Side Rider... but there was one slight problem with this arrangement... the fact that I hate the Side Rider. It's not comfortable for me, I can't get it tight enough to fit well and stay where it's supposed to, and it's kinda difficult to get Goose in & out of. Luckily we don't go very many places where I need a carrier anymore, but every now & again I think "man, I wish I had a carrier!" - in fact we do have an event in a couple of weeks that we're going to and it looks like I'm going to have to buckle down and get a new carrier, or use the umbrella stroller... of which I also don't love. Apparently I'm all over the place with my registry successes - some items I love, some I don't. I'm getting so off-topic though. Typical. Anyway.

Mrs. G.I. Joe over at ACU's, Stiletto Shoes & Pretty Pink Tutu's is hosting an awesome giveaway for Boba Baby Carriers... I checked out their site, and it looks very similar to my Front-To-Back carrier, but even more simple & functional - and also - lots prettier!! So, I wanted to share the info and the opportunity to win this contest by directing y'all over to Mrs. G.I. Joe's blog (by clicking the link... ya know, the bold purple link above... no, not that one... yeah, that one!) and good luck to us all!
