Come check out my giveaway, giving three away!

http://reviewsbyangela.com/category/macaroni-grill-giveaway/#comments

We have been out of diapers for awhile now and I will tell you I love it!  I hated potty training but was able to get through it with three kids.  I will have to say Pull Ups helped me through that time a lot!  It is so nice to be able to have big boy/girl pants and work on potty training but still be okay if your out and have an accident.  You have to see this new potty dance song, it's a lot of fun. 

 In conjunction with the Potty Dance, PULL-UPS® and M80 is hosting a contest called, The Potty Training Nightmare. All you have to do is tell us a comical story (which may have happened to you, a friend, or a family member) about a time when a child’s potty training took a turn for the worse.

Post the story on your blog and let us know by commenting on their blog so they can read your story and enter you into the sweepstakes.  Here is their blog so you can enter HERE!

The grand prize is a six-month supply (6 packages) of Pull-Ups and wipes.

Good luck and we can’t wait to read your stories!

This giveaway is now Closed!

I have used Pledge since I was a little girl dusting with my mom!  It is truly the best dusting product I have ever used.  Just spray it on and wipe away and your furniture becomes dust free!  They even have different fragrants now so you can spray with a great scent that you love! 

Did you know that pledge not only helps with shining and restoring wood surfaces but it also removes 84% of allergens found in dust.  Plus, Pledge's Antidust formulas keeps surfaces less dusty, which means  you'll be able to dust less often. 

Pledge Furniture Polish conducted a national survey and learned that many Americans don't know about dust and the potential impact it has on their health.  They found most Americans only go as far as picking up clutter around the house rather then taking the extra step to dust!  Whoops, I am sure guilty with this statistic!

Many of us struggle with allergies, 90 percent of our homes maintain a household conducive to allergies due to the presence of pets and plants.  Using Pledge helps reduce the presence of allergens in the home by trapping and removing the dust mite allergens, pet dander and pollen found in household dust!

I do see that when my home is totally dusted I really do feel better.  I always thought it was just the fact I had a clean house but I really believe there is so much yuk in the dust it has a way or many ways of making you feel blah! 

Now you have a chance to win your own can of pledge.  Just leave a comment telling me how often YOU dust.  Now be honest!  I can say that I'm lucky to do it once a month, however after seeing the study from Pledge I will be doing it more often!

You must have a US address to try to win!

If you blog about the giveaway, come back and leave another comment letting me know-I will enter you twice. 

Contest ends on Friday December 19th at midnight.  I will use the random number website to pick my winner!

"This post was written for Family Review Network as part of a program by SC Johnson, who also supplied the product for review and giveaway."

Thanks to the FRN and SC Johnson for this opportunity!

Make sure you leave my an email or blog address, If not I will reject it.  I will have no way of knowing who you are!

I received two pairs of shoes from Polliwalks.  Wow!  Are these fun shoes, my daughter LOVES them.  She can't wait to go somewhere now just to wear the shoes.  These shoes are shaped like animals, she received the kitties in pink with fur.  Polliwalks really wanted to make shoes fun and comfortable for kids and they have done just that!  Each pair have pawprints on the bottom so when the kids walk in the snow or sand there will be pawprints left by your child.   These shoes are so comfortable and my daughter can totally put them on and off herself!

This is what the website says about Polliwalks

Introducing Polliwalks™, a company that is committed to
innovation, design, and FUN!
We believe that shoes shoudn't just be shoes;
they should be toys for feet!

We have created a brand that is driven by an unending desire
to design fun products from a kid's perspective. Something
that goes beyond comfort, function,quality and fit, something
that also speaks to the playful side of being a child, something
that reaches the core of a child's imagination.

Polliwalks™ shoes are available in several colorful animal styles
and all feature our patent pending Footprinter™ Bottom.  Children will step in dirt, firm sand, water or snow and leave a trail of tiny Polliwalks™ footprints wherever they go. 

Wearing Polliwalks™ shoes is like wearing little animals on your feet!  They are constant companions for all of life’s little adventures at home, school or play

For the Christmas season Dillards and Zappos.com are going to have two of the new spring syles in for the holidays.  
(the Fish Lips and Firefly) .  The fish lips change color in the sun..  And the Firefly tail lights up, these are so so cool!  My daughter received a pair of the fish lips too.  They come with a strap so you wear them with our without the strap.

We LOVE these shoes, everything about them is fun fun!  The best part is I get to give a pair in a giveaway!  This is open to US residents only.    The contest will end Monday December 8th at midnight.

All you have to do is go to the website www.polliwalks.com and tell me what pair of shoes you think are the cutest, I will tell you it will be hard, they are all adorable.  In the giveaway there are only a limited selection that they are giving away but you can't go wrong with ANY of them-after you win I will let you know your choices.

THIS IS A STICKY POST!  PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW ENTRIES!

Thanks to the Family Review Network and Purry Logic.   I was given the opportunity to review a delightful book call Purry Logic.  If you or your children love cats you will love this book.  Its wriiten by Jane Seabrook and has beautiful paintings in it of many cats. 

I personally love cats, they are truly my favorite pet and I have to say I enjoyed every page of this book celebrating them!

 With each two page spread there is a beautiful painted cat and a saying to go with it.  

 I love this one:

"Why can't you need my eternal devotion at a more convenient time"?  Now does that sound like a cat or what? 

The illustrations are beautiful, there are at least thirty eclectic cats-I'm sure you will find one in the book similar to the look of you own precious feline.  Its a great coffeetable book or bedtime story and wonderful for adults and children.  Its a very quick read.

The best part is I get to have a giveaway for one of these books.    This is open to US addresses only. So here is how to enter.

Leave a comment and tell me one thing you love about cats.  Make sure you leave me a way to contact you, entries with no blog address or email will be rejected!  I will pick using the random number generator.

Come on over at 5minutes for Mom and join all the mothers day contests, they have 6 prizes they are giving away, you don't want to miss it. 

Becoming a mom has been one of the greatest things that have happened to me and to be blessed three times with that reward is beyond anything I had ever hoped for.  Being a mom is hard hard work for sure but knowing I'm raising a future generation to love God and do HIS work on earth is so worth it.  Also the little moments they bring to my life, the I Love You's, Can I Help You, the hugs and kisses, the prayers for me and dad, the excitement of family nights and all the other fun rewarding things make life very rewarding.  I thank God for my children and that he allowed me to be a mother.

 Here is what you can win if you chekc over to Proverbs 31.

Join SchoolinRhome for a Mothers Day Giveaway, she has nice prizes!
