Great Giveaways

A friend of mine stumbled onto a great website that offers some incredible giveaways. The Dirty Shirt, "Product reviews from a mom with way too much laundry" basically explains it all. From movies (Australia) to books (Sesame Street) to even a potty training kit, this site has it all.

Since Little Man A is still in the process of potty training, I thought I would enter myself in the contest to win the Baby Signs Potty Training Program Review and Giveaway. And while I was at it, I entered a giveaway for myself: A chance to win 1 of 5 copies of Australia. Since I know hubby won't go to the theatre (is it even playing in the theatre anymore), I'd have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

Check the site out. You never know what you might win.

Christmas gift ideas

Part of Cookie magazine's Top 100 list was an idea of what to get the parent who has everything therefore their kids have everything. These books are coffee table worthy titles that kids will enjoy as well, in order of age. Check them out.

Newborn: The First Picture Book, by Edward Steichen and John Updike (Fotofolio)

Ages 1-2: The New Alphabet of Animals, by Christopher Wormell (Running Press)

Ages 2-4: I Am a Little Giraffe, by Francois Crozat (Barron's)

Ages 4-6: Martin Pebble, by Jacques Sempe (Phaidon)

Ages 4 & Up: A Balloon for a Blunderbuss, by Alastair Reid and Bob Gill (Phaidon)


All of these books can be found at Amazon.com or even half.com, but there may be limited availability.

What a great present!

Sunday, I received a great present from my aunt "Wenderina". You may have seen her blog spot, "Anxious Moments". If not, go check it out. She is one of the best writers that I know and someone who I am glad that I am related to.

Anyway, she contacted Jessica at Cuppycakes Designs and purchased a redesign for my blog! Jessica recently redesigned Crazy Man Jones blog spot as well.

And just in time for my 50th posting!

So stay tuned everyone. My 50th post will be All New and Redesigned!
