DigitalRoom.com Cards Giveaway!


Once upon a time, there was a place called DigitalRoom.com. DigitalRoom.com offered some really great things, like greeting card printing, and even custom greeting card printing. One day, DigitalRoom.com teamed up with Kendahl (you know, Stepmom Extraordinaire?) and offered an amazing prize! They offered 50 free CUSTOM thank you cards, along with 4 blank Baronial envelopes, to one of the super fantastic readers of this blog.

You heard (read?) me right, 50 free cards! [7"x5", folded to 3.5"x5", full color outside and blank inside, printed on 14 pt. cardstock with a gloss coating] You could use these cards for anything, really, but I would suggest some thank you cards with a black and white damask background and turquoise script reading 'thank you'. Just a suggestion, that's all. Here's how to enter:

Please tell me what you plan to do with the cards. I seriously want to know!

Not Just Broken, But SHATTERED...

My heart, that is. I am HEAD. OVER. HEELS. for this. I dream about it at night. I long for it. What is it, you ask? It's this.



This red, lovely, beautiful, soft, amazing, perfect camera bag from epiphanie bags. I am not sure I can live without it! But, they are out of stock until June. JUNE, people! That's practically a lifetime from now! ... I tend to exagerrate a little when I'm excited, okay?

The biggest problem with this? I need a camera bag, like, right now. But not just any camera bag, a camera bag that also has room for my everyday needs - so it needs to be a purse AND a camera bag, because I don't want to have to carry two bags and I have this urgent need to carry my camera with me everywhere. (Is that normal?) And I need it to be cute.

I am heartbroken over the epiphanie bag but I can't wait until June. I'm kind of an impulse shopper - I need it NOW. Or even yesterday. So, any ideas? Anyone out there know of any fantastic camera bag company that sells camera bags that also are purses that also are cute and stylish, and are available right now? I'm not asking all that much, am I? ;)

I know someone out there has to have the bag of my dreams, just waiting for me to come in and take it off their hands.

Anyone?

...anyone?

Crest Pro-Health Giveaway!

By a show of hands, how many of you out there brush your teeth?

Alright, and how many of you have sensitive teeth? Not quite as many, but I know it's a big deal for a lot of people! I, thankfully, do not have sensitive teeth. But, I found out about this really great product for sensitive teeth and I wanted to share it with you all, just in case you do or live with someone that does... Cool? I'm just trying to be a good blog friend, that's all. :)

Have you heard of Crest Pro-Health? If you haven't, all you need to know is that they offer some great options in the teeth category. In fact, they have a whole line of things dedicated to making your teeth be the best teeth they can be! They are aimed towards sensitive teeth, but they also have ingredients to clean and freshen, so no more using two toothpastes! Sounds good to me.

I would like one of you to be able to try this stuff, and then let me know how great it is (I'm already pretty sure it's great, because it's Crest)! Show them what they can win, Bob...



In case you can't tell, that's Crest Pro-Health Sensitive Shield Paste (smoother than the original Pro-Health paste, Sensitive Shield contains stannous fluoride to protect teeth from sensitivity and to care for your healthy teeth and gums), Crest Glide Pro-Health Floss for Sensitive Gums (the softest Crest Glide floss is 2x softer vs. Glide Original and is designed to make flossing more comfortable for even the most sensitive gums), and an Oral-B CrossAction® Gentle Clean Brush (combines extra soft CrissCross® and Power Tip® bristles to remove up to 90% of plaque while still being gentle on gums). Great prize, right? (Cool little dentist mirror thingy and tray not included, sorry)

To win, I just need you to do the following:

Tell me who you would like to win this for.

I'm So Excited!

And I just can't hide it!

Okay, enough already. Anyway, you wanna know what I'm excited about? One of my very bestest best friends and her hubby have decided to take the plunge and try to have a baby. Woohoo! This is a big deal for me because as much as I don't really think I ever want to have any babies of my own, I really love other peoples' babies and especially when they promise I can babysit all the time (as long as the little tyke isn't crying, of course). They are really hoping for a boy, which makes me even more excited because boys are SO FLIPPING FUN! And since I am so excited, I've been looking at baby stuff. For them, of course. Ya know, because I'm a good friend! And I've found all sorts of fabulous things, from cribs, to bedding, to nursery sets...

Dear friend and her husband are really big fans of pirates and because I'm totally enthralled with baby bedding, I took the liberty of finding them a pirate nursery set. Wanna see it?



It's so DARLING! I am definitely in love with this set. I found it online at BabyCribsPlus.com. They have a ton of other really cute baby stuff, too. If I ever decide to have a screamy smelly thing, I will definitely go there first to find everything I need! Especially if I need a pirate crib set. Seriously, that set is freaking cute.

BabyCribsPlus.com is a part of 200+ CSN stores online. I will be doing a review from CSN soon, so watch for it!

SkinMD Discount Code!

If you haven't tried SkinMD yet, you're missing out. They have some really great lotions that are amazing for your skin, and really actually block the sun out (seriously, read about my NASCAR adventure here).

Now is the time to go get some and try it, because I have a fantastic discount code for you! Just enter 'STEPMOM' at checkout, and you'll get 20% OFF your entire purchase! How much more could it rock? Not much, really.

Head on over to SkinMD right now to get some, and you can thank me for it later. Oh, and make sure you do it before April 13th because the code expires then. Mmmkay?

Woot Woot!

See this bad mamma-jamma?



She's gonna be MINE in just a few hours! And I can't freaking wait. I would like to officially announce my entrance into the DLSR world. WOOHOO!!

You're jealous, aren't you? Unless of course you have one, and then probably not. And, if you already have one, could you pass some tips onto this beginner? :) Thanks.
