Winner!

So it appears that, in order to do things like publish a blog post, you need this pesky thing called an "internet connection." And also, my personal internet connection is not concerned with things like contests and deadlines and such, and instead just shuts down all willy-nilly whenever it wants.

I'm sorry. I know that you have all been on the edge of your seats. And with good reason. For the Love is probably the best prize I've ever given. For reals.

So without any further ado, the winner is..................


Beth K.!!!!! :-)

Congratulations, Beth!

BUT I don't have a way to contact you through your comment. Please email me (contact info is on the Speaking page) or send me your info through Facebook, so that I can get your book to you ASAP!

And remember, if you didn't win, you can get this fabulous book from Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, BAM!, and many, many other places. And you really, really want to.

Winner!

Thank you to everyone who entered the Lilla Rose giveaway. I don't do giveaways very often, and it was so fun to be part of this!

The winner is...

Brittney Bell!!!

Congratulations, Brittney! I have e-mailed you AND passed your information along to Jill Wright, the Lilla Rose consultant who is sponsoring this giveaway.

And if you're not Brittney, don't forget to head over to Jill's website to place your order. I know I will be! :-)

Winners!

Good morning!  Can I just say, you all amaze me!  In ONE DAY, our contest went from nine entries to THIRTY-FIVE!  Wow!  (I know there are 37 comments on that post, but 2 of them are mine, and I thought it might look a little bit hinky if I won my own contest.  And yes, I just said "hinky."  Deal with it.)

So thank you all again for your entries and your confessions.  I loved them all!  If I had to award these gift cards on the basis of the top 2 confessions, I wouldn't be able to do it.  You're all great, and many many many of those confessions sounded just a little too familiar.  ;-)

Alright, I've got quite a busy day ahead of me, and I am on my 3rd day in a row of only getting 5 hours of sleep, so I need to do this and go start caffeine loading.  So without further ado...

The winner of the $10 Starbucks gift card is... Comment #21, posted by Beth!

And the winner of the $25 Kohl's gift card is... Comment #22, posted by Jan!

Congratulations to both of you!!!  I will be contacting you this morning.  And thanks again to everyone for being part of the giveaway.

Have a great day!

Good morning, Zoo Visitors.  I hope your day is getting off to a good start.  I know it is for one of you, because I have chosen the winner of the bracelet!  Here is the comment that random.org selected...

I love the cubes beadwoven cuff. It looks like an OSU bracelet and would go perfectly with my wardrobe. I must have it!!

Congatulations, Andrea!  You have won the Honey Coils Wire Wrapped Bracelet from MonkeyBuns.

If you still feel like winning some stuff, and you want to be part of something that is very near and dear to my heart, please please please PLEASE head over to A Perfect Lily and take part in the Pure Love Giveaway.  Already the giving goals for Olga and Kareen have been reached, and Peter's total is over $10,000.  It is absolutely unbelievable.  AND even better--all three children now have families in the process of adopting them.  Can you believe it?  It honestly brings tears to my eyes.  Please, friends, please consider giving to this campaign.  If you don't feel led to be part of this giveaway, head over to Reece's Rainbow and just learn more about the children listed there and what RR does.  Pray for the kids, for the families God has intended for them, for the orphanages and institutions that currently house them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Winner & New Sponsor

Good morning!  Thank you all for your Mommy Confessions.  Some of them made me feel better, some made me nod in agreement, some made me laugh out loud!  I appreciate all of them!  :-)

My dd knows all the words to Kesha and Lady Gaga songs. She's three. But then again, I loved Madonna and I turned out ok.... :)"

So congrats, Lynn!  You will get the chance to pick one of Melissa's beautiful wipes cases!

I am also very happy to announce our next sponsor!  I was doing some digging around on Etsy, and came across a shop I just couldn't resist: RooRooNatural.  She has some great things on this site!  Check out this beautiful mobile (which she also has in purple and pink--I'm honestly thinking about getting one for Lamb's room)...

and this great necklace that your baby can play with while nursing...

...and my personal favorite, these amazing blocks...!

Yep, these are going to be making an appearance in my house in the very near future.

So I contacted Chandra, the owner of the shop, and she has graciously offered a discount of 15% to Roo's friends.  Thank you, Chandra!  Simply enter the code "zoorooroo" at checkout to get your discount.  Hurry, before I buy everything!  :-)

Mr. Fantastic and I are leaving with some friends in the morning to spend a weekend in the Windy City.  Since he considers my laptop to be my mistress (If a man has a mistress, what does a woman have?  A mister?), I'm thinking it's going to have to stay behind, which means no "Weekend Zoo."  But I have some posts in the works for next week, including another sponsor or two, as we get ready to celebrate a big day for one of my kiddos.

So have a great weekend, and don't forget to snag your discount at RooRooNatural!  See you soon!
