{Twizzlers} Family Road Trip Contest!

Twizzlers wants to help you have more fun on your family road trips this summer!

Are you planning a road trip this summer?

I am {hopefully!} taking my little girl on her first trip to the zoo! I haven’t decided if I want to go to Seattle, so that we can also go to the Aquarium and waterfront, of if we should travel a little farther and go to the zoo in Portland, which I hear is super amazing!

It’s not too tough to keep the baby happy on road trips… A couple linky toys hanging on the car seat, and she’s happy as long as that car keeps moving! But she is a little chunky butt, and loves her some snacks!

So, when I pack a few of the new Twizzlers goodies in our snack bag for us {I hate spending money on food while on the road, so I always back a cooler and snack bag. Saves money, and saves time!} I’ll also share just a bit with baby girl.

Watching her eat her first gummy worm was one of the funniest things we’ve ever seen, so I’m sure she’ll love to attack a yummy Twizzlers with her little gummy grin too!

Win a Trip:

Twizzlers® Candy, the perfect on-the-go treat, is helping to sweeten family travel this summer with the Twizzlers Landmark Summer™ promotion. The promotion gives consumers the chance to win a trip to a well-known United States destination plus daily, road trip-themed prizes throughout the summer. Visit www.Twizzlers.com! Daily entry runs from 5/15/11 – 9/4/11!

Memories…

Roadtips always make me remember being a kid, and traveling with my brothers to our family reunion every summer. And Twizzlers were such a favorite of ours when we were little, so it pairs perfectly with those memories! And if you want to learn more about the giveaway, fun new products, and other ideas from Twizzler, visit them at www.Twizzlers.com!!

Win a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!!

Sign up today for a chance to win a $1,000 Amazon.com Gift Card!

Amazon is one of my VERY favorite places to shop. Seriously. And this is the easiest thing to enter:

Win a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!

Just click the link, hit enter, and say Yes to subscribe to email updates on clothing sales. That’s it. Easy peasy, right?

And, if you are a big fan of Amazon too, let me share a couple of tips to save you some money.

  1. 1. Sign up for Amazon Mom. You don’t even have to BE a mom. It’s a pretty easy sign up, and then you’ll get two whole months of FREE 2 DAY shipping on all Amazon Prime purchases (which is most stuff). Also, you get discounts on diapers and wipes too. And every time you make a purchase of baby items over $25, you get an additional month of free shipping added to your account. To sign up, just go into the “Your Account” section and find “Amazon Mom”.
  2. 2. Speaking of diapers… I ONLY buy diapers through Amazon. I sign up for the “Subscribe and Save” option, which takes 15% off of the price. Then, if you’re signed up for Amazon Mom, they’ll take an EXTRA 15% off too. Plus, your shipping is free. And each diaper purchase helps you to extend your months of FREE shipping. {Plus, you can change your subscribe and save options ANY time, and not have the shipment sent if you don’t want it}
  3. 3. Another great tip is to sign up for Swag Bucks. There are a lot of different rewards you can choose from, but I think the best deal is the Amazon Gift Cards. And ALWAYS get the $5 gift cards. If you do the math, they are a much better deal than any of the higher dollar amounts. I earn enough Swag Bucks to get a $5 Amazon card about once every week or two. Then you add ’em to your Amazon account, and let them add up until you’re ready to use them. This saves me a ton of money. Sign up Click Here.

And, just for fun, here are a couple of great deals on Amazon today:

Love this book, “Peek a Who?”, perhaps partly because I have a current obsession with Owls. But this is a super cute book that our kids think is so much fun.

Another favorite at my house is this adorable giraffe soother. It plays 4 different sound settings, from a white noise to a fun jungle beat. It also has a little velcro strap that you can use to attach it to the stroller or carseat. So cute.

Our current favorite movie. Seriously, so good. The little yellow guys’ laugh is just so contagious. Even I like watching this one :)

So, get on over and enter to win the $1,000 Amazon Gift Card, and sign up for some of these other programs too, to save some extra money! Have a great Sunday… I hope you’re all getting some sunshine today!

My Birthday = Gifts for YOU!

Happy Birthday to ME, Happy Birthday to Me….

This is a really terrible quality picture of my birthday cake last year. But I love it. This was a great cake. It came with plastic flower rings. How can a cake get better than that, right? And they spelled my name right. That’s always a bonus.

Anyway, in celebration of my birthday, which is coming up next weekend, May 22nd, I’m doing a few giveaways that will all end the 21st, so that I can announce winners and give away “birthday presents” to you guys on my birthday! Man, I rock, right?

So, make sure to get entered!! I don’t want you to miss out on the fun.

The BIG giveaway is this one…

The Spring Flowers Beauty Bag Giveaway {$80 Value!} Notice how the pink flowers match the pink flower rings from my birthday cake? Nice. Enter here: Win Me!!.

Next I have a fun giveaway to welcome you to my favorite product testing company, BzzAgent:

This is my most recent campaign for the new Tresemme color care line. I’m just getting ready to dye my hair again, and am excited to see if this helps keep it fresh. If you’d like to get boxes of free product like this, join me as a BzzAgent, and then sign up for MyPoints, which is how they reward your activity. Then just leave a comment right here and I’ll send the first 10 people one of the fun coupons I got in this BzzKit as a little welcome gift!

And another little giveaway…

EBATES

Check out my post here: Ebates Giveaways!, and learn how you can win some pretty darn amazing prizes right now from Ebates, why it’s so awesome, and enter to win a $5 Amazon Gift Card from me, just for answering a quick question! Easy peasy, right?

I’ll make up a few more little giveaways next week too, just to add a little more fun!

And if you want to get ME a birthday present, I’d LOVE any of these gifts:

  • Leave some comment love on my posts!! I end many of my posts with a question asking for your opinions, but it seems like everyone is being shy :) Leave me some comments, share your experiences, add some new tips. I love conversation!
  • Suggest my blog, twitter, or facebook to any of your friends who would appreciate it! I love sharing fun new stuff, so of course the more people I get to share it all with, the more fun it is! And, the bigger Sunshine and Sippy Cups grows, the more cool stuff I’ll get to offer to you guys!!
  • Leave me a Happy Birthday message on my page on May 22nd!! I get to be a bit of an attention diva when my birthday rolls around… I’ll admit, in my early 20’s, I celebrated my birthday WEEK each year, and planned parties and events each day. What can I say? I love an excuse for a party!

So, get your name in the drawings, and look forward to a few more freebies and giveaways next week!! Have a great weekend :)

{Win!!} Super Duper Giveaways List!

I love giveaways, contests, and sweepstakes.

At the end of my pregnancy, I was having a lot of complications. I had not one hernia, but two. One on each side. My doctor told me that this was very uncommon. Well, of course. I’m weird. Uncommon is how I roll.

So, I was in a bit of pain. {and by a bit, I mean the opposite of a bit. Like, a ton maybe.} The doctor couldnt do any surgery to fix it, because baby girl was sort of in the way. Their solution? “Stay off of your feet.” Problem was, I worked as a manager in retail. And that sort of involves standing. And running. And ladders.

I couldn’t afford to leave work early, so I was on my feet all day. ALL. DAY. Oh boy. So when I got home I didn’t even want to stand up for anything at all. Nada. And I’m not much of a TV watcher. So I started getting online a lot. A. LOT.

That’s how I stared with giveaways. I entered a few, and won. So I entered more, and won even MORE often. Then I got hooked! Over the holidays, when there were a ton of giveaways going on, I seriously won at least something almost every single day for months. Amazing.

I’ve backed off a little, since I’m so busy with the new baby, watching the nephews, finishing up school, housework, the new blog, etc. But I’m starting to get back into it again. And I’m starting to win again.

Yep. Momma needs a hotline.

But hey, it’s not like I’m gambling. It’s harmless, even if it is a bit of an addiction, right?

So, after this looooong story, here is a list of super duper giveaways for YOU to enter. Yep, this freebie junkie wants to get you hooked too :)

Here ya go:

I hope you find some good ones, and I’d LOVE to hear if you win :) Have a great night guys!!
