Ok, this would be my second entry, although I think this is the one I should have done first...grin. I did the other one only scant minutes ago, so I am sure you will see what I mean....

I left a nice long comment on the photo frame giveaway that I ran into, which I believe qualifies me also for an entry in this contest.

Thank you again for all of the hard work you must have to do to create such a beautiful blog. I am very new to the whole blogging thing, but am finding people to be very nice, and mostly things are easy to figure out. I have started my own modest blog, will find a direction for it to go soon.

Congratulations Franstuff!!
I will be Emailing you shortly, Please reply withing 48 hours, I really would like you to have this to wear to work!! ;)

My Very First Giveaway!

I've been trying to find the time to post this giveaway but it seems as if there aint' enough hours in a day to complete everything on my to do list. Now that my son is on Thanksgiving vacation, I can kick back on this cold Monday afternoon and post. So, I let my mom know about the giveaways and the reviewing and the moms and the dads and Twitter and the stories and all the greatness that comes in blogging. After I explained everything in detail and answered all her rhetorical questions, she gave me something that she purchased earlier this week and asked me to use this item as my very first giveaway. She's absolutely lovely.So, here we got a BRAND NEW 100% Cotton White long sleeve top W/peeking shoulders and slim ruffled hem in XL by Newport News-Women's Clothing.



(Sorry about the bad lighting and the generic pictures, I couldn't find any advertising of the top on their website anymore.) :P

The boy in the striped pajamas.

Me and my mom agreed to read the book before going to watch the movie. I finished reading the book the same day I started.( 2 weeks ago) Right after I put it down my mom picked it up and started on it, she just finished reading it today! So now that she's finally done, we have our date set to watch the movie this Thursday at 2:55pm! I'm so excited I cant wait!!



It is one of the most moving and remarkable films about childhood I’ve ever seen. The setting of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is as grim as it gets, but the perspective is a magical piece of cinema. Bruno is the eight-year-old son of a Nazi officer, and the curious eyes and ears of Mark Herman’s gripping story. When his father is promoted from a desk job in Berlin to commanding a death camp in the middle of nowhere, Bruno can’t fathom the sudden frosty tension between his parents, or why he is forbidden to visit the strange “farm” with the electric fences.

Be Apart of the Ellen Show!!

I absolutely love Ellen DeGeneres!
And I cant seem to get enough of her show. I don't watch too much TV since I'm pretty occupied throughout the day but when I do have time, I always watch the Ellen Show. Me and my Mom love her, she's hysterical and she's so funny and so alive that she makes me envy the audience because they're there and I'm not. LOL
As we all know this is the time of The Ellen DeGeneres 12 Days of Giveaways and as I watch her announce the items that her lucky audience members get to have, I cant help the fact that I tear up because I can just imagine how happy and excited they must be. So instead of feeling sorry for myself I logged on to the show's website and entered to win VIP tickets to one of Ellen's 12 Days of Giveaways show!

So, if you're a fan of Ellen like myself then go for your chance to witness those fantastic dance moves of hers! IN PERSON!! :)

Wrapping up November

So it's December, almost Christmas time, whether I want it to be or not. We officially have 23 days left until the best holiday of the year. I hate to admit the fact that I am not prepared for Christmas this year. By this time of the year I at least have an idea of what I want to buy my son and other members of my family. I have not purchased one item yet and I honestly don't know when I'm going to get around to doing so. I'm usually full of holiday spirit but this year I'm just not feeling it, it's depressing.

So on a better note. The end result of November was better than I expected, I won 4 giveaways!
I started entering giveaways the beginning of November and didn't expect to be winning anything at all but I did & I'm pretty happy about it. :)

As soon as I receive all of the products that I have won, I will post my own personal review on them and I'll also post pictures of what I won.

Thank You to the following mama blogs for making my November complete!

Katie Lyons @ The Giveaway. Winnings: Lychee Line Wristlet
Maria @ Maria's space. Winnings: $25 GC to Handbagheaven.com
Karen @ Frugal Mommy of 2 Girls. Winnings: 2 rolls of personalized wrapping paper from iwrapped.com

God Bless!
