    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.

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #93: A win in disguise

    Holly

    This week I was hit with a head cold. I even lost my voice (interestingly, the family were excited about that and well and truly used it to their advantage. Especially Miss Holly above!). It’s been frustrating, because it’s put me behind with my ever growing “to do” list. However, if I’m honest with myself, it’s been good for me too.

    It’s allowed me to stop and just breathe. I even paused long enough to watch Hop the movie with Ella tonight. I think it was the universe’s way of telling me to slow down. If only it didn’t come in the form of a miserable cold. I’m calling it a “win in disguise”.

    How do you know when it’s time to slow down?

    I’m sure there’ll be some nicer looking wins in this week’s linky. So get clicking!

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #92: Easter is…

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #92: Easter is…

    For some reason it’s only just hit me this week that Easter is but two weeks ago. We’re not even organised. Not that the girls get an awful lot at Easter.

    But tell me: How did that happen? The last thing I remember was people grumbling about supermarkets stocking Hot Cross Buns two days after Christmas. And now it’s here.

    I do love Easter though. Thinking about it always prompts me to think of this moment (below) – and then I smile. I’m not sure how long we’ll be able to get away this one for.

    Are you organised for Easter yet?

    I’m sure there’ll be quite a few Easter giveaways in the linky today. Get clicking!

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #91: A little overexcited

    Ella

    Sharing some highlights from our week again (because we know every Saturday night you’re dying to know, right!):

    • I got all excited about the sticker club chain letter, went out with Ella and bought the stickers for the No. 2 on the list (a little boy) and came home this afternoon to discover we’re meant to buy for No. 1 on the list (a little girl). I’m sure she wouldn’t be too thrilled with Cars stickers. Tomorrow I start again!
    • According to those of you who follow the Three Li’l Facebook page, it’s been confirmed that spaghetti bolognese is ALWAYS better the next night. I knew I wasn’t alone.
    • When Holly (2) was playing “shops’’ at child care this week, the other kids were ordering grocery items, like tomatoes, carrots, potatoes and cheese. Holly went up to the counter and ordered “a babyccino, please’’. Oh dear. I must admit, at home she often asks if I’d like a babyccino, comes back with a tiny tea party cup and then  says “$20 please”. A rip off, I tell you.

    Do your kids have a babyccino obsession? Or just mine?

    Ben Milbourne Charlotte Best

    We’ve had a few highlights this week:

    • As you know, Holly (2) is potty training. When we picked Ella up from school today. Holly piped up within ear shot of everyone: “Ella, I did a poo today. It was THIS big’’ (cups her tiny hands as if she’s holding a football). Thank goodness Ella’s in Prep and not Grade 6.
    • We had a tough afternoon at Ghost Rock Vineyard at Shearwater in Tasmania. We listened to music by Ross Wilson, while sitting in the VIP area and eating food cooked by Ben Milbourne and Andy Allen from MasterChef. Oh, and Andy’s girlfriend, Home and Away and Puberty Blues star Charlotte Best. From the photo above, it looks like Charlotte was chief berry washer!
    • I wrote a piece earlier this week about the whole Sydney shopping centre banning screaming children. Promptly followed by having to follow my own advice the next day when Holly threw a terrible twos tantie in the school car park. I must have jinxed myself.
    • Ella lost her first tooth. Oh, the excitement. You would have thought she’d won the lottery. I guess, $2 is like $2 million to a five year old.

    OK, your turn. What have been the highlights of your week?
