Dagoba Chocolate!!!

Okay, so I though maybe I should lay off the blogging about contests - then - I came across a giveaway for Dagoba Organic Chocolate! Yes, you read that right - YUMMY! Not only are they a responsible company, but they sell chocolate - yummy, organic chocolate! Does it get any better than this? No, I didn't think so. LOL. So, the giveaway is here: Sage and Savvy, and if you want to check out Dagoba Chocolate go here.

Bazil Essentials

Bwahahahaha - getting tired of the contests yet? No! Fabulous - read on family and friends. I am THRILLED to have found this company. They are an eco-friendly company whose products are cruelty free and 100% vegan. I can't wait to try some of their stuff. It will have to wait for regular, gainful employment, but I do have faith that will happen soon, and pssst dear husband - I have a birthday in May! Check them out here: Bazil Essentials. If after looking at their stuff, if you are drooling - as I am, go to Rundpinne's giveaway and enter! Lots of luck.

Another cool giveaway - Twisted Silver

So, being sick with the flu sucks, but you can find positives everywhere, right? Because I am home sick with the flu, I also get to spend the day cuddled in bed with my two little munchkins (one who is also sick - the other who will probably get sick because he won't stay out of my face! LOL.), and while they watch Blue's Clues, I get to surf the web. I'm having fun finding all these cool contests, and I'm not one to keep a good deal to myself, so I'm sharing it with you all!

Rundpinne blog is having a giveaway from a very cool store called Twisted Silver. They have cool, funky jewelry. Check out their celebrities page, and you will see their jewelry on one of my fave celebrities - Finola Hughes! If you like their jewelry, then go to Rundpinne and enter her blog giveaway for one of their bracelets! Good luck - let me know if you win!

Remember to be thankful

Sometimes it's good to step back and remember everything you're thankful for!

1) I'm thankful that I have five (one is still thankfully gestating) beautiful, healthy children. They may drive me insane sometimes, but they also fill me with love, joy, and gratitude. It's pretty amazing to have not one but FIVE people in your life that you love so deeply and passionately that you would lay down your life in a heartbeat for them.

2) I'm thankful that I am married to an amazing man who loves me back! There are so many people that I know who have gone through devastatingly painful divorces, and my heart breaks for them. It also makes me all the more grateful for what I do have. It's an awesome feeling to be married to your best friend.

3) I'm thankful that I have such a great relationship with my parents. I talk to people all the time who distance themselves from their parents as much as they can and gripe every time they have to spend time with them. I would love to live closer to my parents, so I could see them all the time. I'm grateful for the times I do get to see them and for free in-service mobile minutes!

4) I'm thankful that this crap I have appears to just be the flu. It will eventually go away, and I'll be able to breathe again. Too many people deal with health problems every day. I can handle the flu.

5) I'm thankful for good friends who I can gripe to and turn to, and who hopefully feel like they can do the same with me.

6) I'm thankful that we live in an area of the country that is not as hard hit economically as other places. I'm hopeful that it will mean jobs are easier to find.

7) I'm thankful that we've found two fabulous schools for our children. Growing up is hard sometimes and having a good school with caring teachers is one way that it can be easier.

There's so much more that I am thankful for, but I'm getting pretty sleepy, so I am going to TRY and sleep again!

Scrabble



Even in the middle of uncertainty and chaos - you've got to stop and have a little fun! Tonight I played a fun game of Scrabble with my daughters.

Bally's Total Fitness is horrible

I would like to tell the world (or the twenty people who occasionally come here) that Bally's Total Fitness is a horrid company, and please, please, please go ANYWHERE but there. I'm really regretting ever going back to them. That's all I'm going to say at the moment, because my mommy told me I have a potty mouth!!! Trust me, that potty mouth is about to make another appearance...
