    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #99: Mother’s Day edition

    Cinderella costume

    Highlights from Mother’s Day week (I know it’s a day, but I’m making it into a week!):

    • I got caught eating Ella’s Humpty Dumpty Easter egg. Come on, I was desperate for chocolate. To avoid the tears, I promised any Mother’s Day chocolates I received she could share. The next morning, while telling her how I couldn’t wait for Sunday’s sleep in, breakfast in bed and dinner out, Ella piped up with: “And don’t forget, you’ve got to give me some of your chocolate fudge we bought you?’’ She then turned pale. “Oops, I wasn’t meant to tell you that, was I?’’. Ah, probably not!
    • And how cute is Cinderella, all dressed up and ready for the ball… or the disco, at least. Her first school disco and a handbag full of money ($5 can look like a lot when it comes in change).

    Do you already know what you’re getting for Mother’s Day? Are your kids good with keeping secrets?

    Now, onto this week’s Australian competitions and giveaways…

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #98: Giggles with Jimmy

    Jimmy Giggle 3

    Highlights from our winning week were:

    • Ella got to meet one of her favourite ABC4 Kids stars Jimmy Giggle and give him three drawings at Agfest today. Holly, on the other hand, was just disappointed Hoot wasn’t there.
    • When we got home, Ella was confused as to how Jimmy could fly back to Sydney so quickly to be on the TV. “The plane must have been fast, Mum’’.
    • The Three Li’l Princesses Facebook page has got some mums a little hot and bothered tonight, because of posting the above photo. It’s fair to say, there were some mums at Agfest today too who were far more excited about seeing Jimmy than their children were.

    Here’s some more Jimmy for you…

    Jimmy Giggle 2

    Are you – or your kids – Jimmy Giggle fans?

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #97: Living in another world

    homemade gift box

    Highlights from our winning week were:

    • While driving home in the dark after eating out last night, five-year-old Ella pipes up with: “It’s night time here, but it’s daytime over in the world Uncle Rick lives in. Isn’t it, Mum?’’ We live in Tasmania. Uncle Rick lives in Melbourne.
    • Two-year-old Holly learning to waggle her finger and, with some cheeky diva attitude, says: “uh-huh, girrrrlfrieeeeend’’. I really need to video this to show her when she’s 18.
    • Ella and I went to the trouble of making a gift box for The Bloke in The Shed today out of delightful yellow paper. Ella took ages decorating it and, once finished, hid it. She then made him find it, using the tried and tested technique of “hot’’ and “cold’’. When he finally found it, took the mounds of sticky tape off it and opened it, he was presented with a squished Anzac biscuit. You’ve got to be excited about that.

    What wins did you have this week?

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #96: I guess I’m getting old

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #96: I guess I’m getting old

    cooking scrolls

    In the past month I’ve received two invites. The first is to my 20-year reunion as a Grade 10 leaver. Eek. Has it really been that long? The second is to a 20-year reunion of editorial staff who worked at the newspaper here during the ‘90s.

    Apart from feeling INCREDIBLY old, it’s been a bit of a catalyst to look at everything I’ve achieved in the past 20 years. And I wouldn’t change one minute.

    Sometimes we’re so busy getting through to the next day, the next week or the next month, we forget to stop and reflect on what we have to show for all that.

    The highlights of the past 20 years? In the ‘90s, meeting and falling in love with a man who worked at said newspaper. Then, in the next decade, marrying him and producing two adorable girls. They’re pretty big wins for me.

    Have you been to your school reunion or even a work reunion? What was it like?

    Now, onto some other winning opportunities…

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #95: Always look on the bright side

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #95: Always look on the bright side

    Three Li'l Princesses

    It’s been one of those mixed weeks. Some highs, with just a few crappy moments thrown in. That’s life I guess. I’m learning to only focus on the good things in life and not dwell on the challenging stuff. There’s no point in putting energy into things I can’t control.

    So, talking wins only, here’s what my week in the palace was like:

    • Ella had her first school excursion, which was to a farm and then a bike track. It prompted this conversation – Ella: “Mum, do you know where meat comes from? A cow. So where does chicken come from?” Me: “Ah, a chicken.” Ella: “So is that similar to a real chicken?” Hmm, so this is the result of raising your children in the suburbs. Oh, and her highlight from the trip was her teacher being pooed on by a cow. It’s the little things.
    • A few weeks ago I was asked to do a corporate project with one of my favourite brands and I finally got to make a start this week. I cannot tell you how incredibly excited I am.
    • Without going into detail, we’ve had a few wins in the toilet training department regarding No. 2s. Mums in the depths of potty training will completely understand the significance of that one.

    What are your wins from the week?

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #94: Do you go competition crazy?

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #94: Do you go competition crazy?

    Most of you are well aware of my love for all things giveaway. This linky has become incredibly popular, mostly because you all share my enthusiasm for a good Australian competition.

    One of my greatest wins was a $2000 prepaid Visa card. Actually, correction, I won two of them. I thought all my Christmases had come at once. And, well, they sort of had.

    If I could wish for anything in a giveaway it would be these three things:

    1. An Apple package. Since buying the iPad, I’ve fallen in love with all things Apple. We now have an iPod and The Bloke in The Shed has his iPhone. But oh, to have the whole kit and caboodle.
    2. A holiday. I know – a bit predictable. Who doesn’t want to win a holiday though? Seriously.
    3. Cash, to invest in quality stocks I can watch grow for the next 30-odd years. OK, so maybe I’d probably blow it all on clothes and shoes. Who am I kidding, right?

    Funnily enough, I was approached last month about a new site that’s been launched specifically featuring Australian competitions, called Competition Crazy. To launch, they’re giving away $10,000 worth of prizes. And guess what it includes?

    Competition Crazy

    • a $3000 Apple pack including an iPod nano, an iPad, an iPhone, a Macbook Air
    • $2000 in cash
    • $5000 Gold Coast Webjet voucher.

    {Insert a high-pitched scream}

    If you’d like to enter, make sure you visit Competition Crazy*, which officially launched March 31. You can enter as many times as you like and then check out their Australian giveaways, prize draws and contests.

    For those of you who are bloggers and businesses, you can add competitions to the site. For those of you who come here to enter, every competition they offer has been carefully vetted. They even have a state of the art scoring system that helps you to find the best competitions in Australia. The system rates the giveaways based on brand, competition type, social media pickup, popularity, webpage design and ease of entry. Too clever.

    If you love giveaways, then it’s definitely worth checking out.
