    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #43

    My sincere apologies for the linky going up late this week. However, I do have a note. It reads:

    Kellie was unable to get her Saturday night homework done (aka the Aussie Giveaway Linkup post) because she was busy decorating the inside of the toilet bowl. Love GastroGirl’s Mum.

    To all the Digital Parents Conference divas I kissed/cuddled Friday night, I am so, so sorry.

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #42

    I hardly have time to talk about my wins this week. I’m too busy downloading apps on this:

    iPad 3

    I don’t usually “squee’’, but I’m “squeeing’’ like a pig in a pile of vegetable peel tonight. What a win – an 64 GB iPad 3 with 4G and wifi. (Bragging slightly). Except that it’s not “technically’’ a “win’’ because I had to open my own purse. But a win of sorts.

    It means I’ve decided to put myself under an immense amount of pressure and live blog from the Digital Parents Conference (#DPCON12) in Melbourne on Friday – unless something goes horribly wrong. Like, leaving the iPad sitting on the kitchen bench at home. Or forgetting to charge it.

    Which, of course, brings me to another win – a whole two days without hearing a child nag, whine or whinge. Unless when I Skype them from this:

    iPad 3

    they start whining for me to come home. Which is highly likely, since this is the first time The Bloke in The Shed will be looking after BOTH of them himself overnight. I will miss them

    until the wine sets in and the music starts during the dinner dance.

    You could win an iPad 3 too – I’m sure one will magically appear in the linky below if I wish hard enough – along with some equally fabulous products and services. Get clicking!

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #41

    Red Balloon voucher

    Well, there’s been some interesting wins this week:

    • Finally getting through to Ella that you can’t visit things that are pretend. She asked if she could visit Snow White and Cinderella. It resulted in a detailed explanation of why they’re pretend. “Tell me all the things that are real and all the things that are pretend, Mum’’. After a long sigh, I explained how she can’t visit The Faraway Tree, Play School, Robbie Rotten and more. “But we can visit Sesame Street. Can’t we? Sesame Street’s real.’’ Oh dear.
    • While the debate over whether Ella should have glasses was reignited during on Thursday (final verdict to come Monday), it also led to discovering Ella now DOES want glasses. “I’d love to have some little windows on my eyes,’’ she said. As long as she doesn’t think she has to walk around holding the two glass slides the opthamologist used to check her vision.
    • I forgot to mention that last week I won a $200 Red Balloon voucher courtesy of Mojito Mother, Nuffnang and this little linky. Now just to figure out what I’m going to spend it on.

    If that last one’s not incentive enough to start clicking on the below links, I don’t know what is. Good luck.

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #40

    Some of my wins for this week:

    • Playing “hide and seek’’ with the two princesses and having them always hide in the spot I’d just hid in. How easy is that game? Even better is when they searched under my bed and I jumped out of the wardrobe and shouted “boo’’. I had to change Holly’s nappy afterwards.
    • Tasmania being in the midst of the Devonport Food and Wine Festival, which meant The Bloke in The Shed and I experienced a five-course degustation dinner by Melbourne’s Pure South chef Dwayne Bourke – without a snotty nose or tantrum in sight. If you’re hungry, I suggest you don’t click on this link.
    • Holly finding her own solution to keeping her hands from getting cold when drinking her morning milk. The saddest part is not that I have a child using a stubby holder (now called a drink holder in our house), but that she gravitates towards the Collingwood one.

    I thought I’d give you a little insight into my week and a few of my wins:

    • The week started with The Bloke in The Shed getting “the snip’’ and ended with me getting all clucky over seeing a newborn bub yesterday. Um, too late now.
    • I performed a little magic trick on Twitter during the week, with @ThreeLil morphing into @KellieOBrienAU. I may possibly have an identity crisis before the week is out.
    • Princess Ella performed three Young Talent Time classics (complete with YTT moves) for the video camera this week. It was apparently to “put on your blog, Mum’’. My favourite is: “Ana ple-ay, oh story, and I’m hanging on a moment with you’’. Translated: “I’m on the edge of glory and I’m hanging on a moment of truth’’. Apologies to Lady Gaga when I finally upload that one during the week.

    Something I’m not sorry about is the fabulous giveaways being linked up in the Aussie Giveaway Linkup (yeah, I know, that segway was about as clever as those on Today Tonight) . Anyway, most of you know the drill by now – click the links and start entering to win some fabulous prizes.

  • WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #37: Teddy bear edition

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #37: Teddy bear edition

    In the Saturday Herald Sun’s In Black and White section yesterday, Steve Perkin had readers send in photographs of their teddy bears. Looking at the names, he was inundated with photos and stories from the blue rinse brigade – Dulcie, Irene, Barbara, Pat, Eileen…

    My favourite was from Judy:

    “I have my mother’s teddy bear, given to her when she was just three, in 1918. He is totally hairless, but otherwise intact and still very much loved. He sits next to my teddy, who must be nearly 60, on a chair in my bedroom’’.

    Wow, Judy! My teddy bear, at a mere 30-something years of age, now resides at my nan’s house, where the great grandchildren play with it. The Bloke in the Shed still has his, which Princess Ella and Li’l Holly constantly play with. It begs the question: just which will be Ella’s “teddy to keep’’:

    teddy bears

    Yep, there’s a few there to choose from. And that’s not adding Holly’s into the mix.

    I’m quite fascinated to see and hear all the stories of people’s beloved teddy bears. If you do want to share, you’re more than welcome to upload your teddy bear photo to the Three Li’l Princesses Facebook page. I’d love to see it.

    And then, of course, you’d best get clicking on this week’s giveaway links.
