One of the things I enjoy the most about blogging is all the great and wonderful people I have met! A while back I came across Mel's blog and I have been stopping by to see what has been going on in her life and watching he little guy grow up so fast. So if you are looking to make another great blogger friend then go check out her blog and while you are there you can enter another one of her great contest to help her build traffic to her blog. By doing so you will be entered for a chance to win $20.00. What do you have to lose...no you might not win the $20.00 but you will have the chance to get to know Mel a little bit better! Go for it :0)

CAN'T FORGET THE NINTENDO Wii

With Spring Break almost here I have been spending the morning packing and getting ready for a much needed week long vacation with the kids. We will be travelling to visit with family and we have lots of fun activities planned. I got a phone cal from my youngest sister last night asking me to bring our Nintendo Wii so that we can play Dance Dance Revolution. This seems to be the hit game for the kids. Oh yes and me too! I think that the Nintendo Wii is one of the best game systems available and everyone should have one to enjoy! Click Here for a Chance to Win a Nintendo® Wii™! and you to can get in on the fun. The winner will receive a Nintendo Wii console, 5 spots games (boxing, tennis, bowling, baseball and golf) Wii stand, 1 remote controller, 1 sensor bar, 1 nunchuck, 1 Wii AC adaptor and 1 Wii AV cable. Everything you will need to get started!

This Nintendo Wii bundle would make a great addition to any family with lots of fun to be had by all! I don't know what we would do without our Wii? This is something we do all the time as a family and we have spent many hours together as a family, from the oldest right down to my youngest who is 3 years old. We are looking forward to playing against someone different to make the games a little more challenging. Look out mom and dad here we come and bringing along some more fun!

***I WON MELS CONTEST...

A while back I entered a contest that Mel from Mel in a Nutshell was doing to help her build traffic to her site and I was her random winner of $50.00. I can really use the extra money especially this time of year with the added cost of Christmas shopping but it will have to go towards the shipping cost on another contest that I've won recently...yep a whopping $70 for the duty because the contest was in the US....I hope it's worth it...I will post about that contest later!

I have been really enjoying visiting Mel's blog and getting to more about her. She has a great blog, you should see it for yourself, stop by and say hello! You are sure to meet a great friend, I know I have.

Thank you so much Mel! Happy Holidays !

I have just entered a contest for a chance to win 50 bucks! :0) Who couldn't us and extra $50 especially this time of year and it's also helping someone at the same time which can be just as much rewarding in itself :0)

She is willing to give away $50 just for taking the time to visit her site and post about her blog and contest.

***MCDONALD'S MONOPOLY

How many of you play the McDonald's Monopoly game? We do but we don't go to McDonald's just to get the games pieces, that's a bonus! Do you really win prize money? I have won a large sandwich on the game stamps and free pop but that's about it. The codes on the stamps....who has time to enter them, how many codes do you think aren't used and just thrown out? I know that just recently I accidental threw out some game stamps and before I could get them out of the garbage can in the van Matt had emptied it, hope there wasn't any winners.

O.K. so to get to the real reason for this post....I have been taking some time this week to enter some game codes on the Internet (10 a day) and this morning with Blake's help we are now potential winners of $500. Now we need to call and verify some information and send them our stamp codes and answer a skill testing question. If we really did win $500, it will be very exciting. Wish us luck and I will let you know if we really did win the money. :0)
