What a faboulous day!!!

So I woke up this morning to find that I won a contest from Mashala Baby Organics !!!
This is my 2nd contest win, so I am really excited!!! :D Anywho, I won an Organic Start baby Massage Oils Set , which is going to be GREAT to use once lil Jaicyn is born :) !!!
The BEST part of my contest win, is the fact that I came up with a brilliant idea, and I acted on it!!
I thought to myself, "this would be a PERFECT giveaway, a great start to doing my own contests/giveaways!!" Now, of course I really didn't want to have to give away the set I won, so I thought I'd ask the folks at Mashala if they would kindly take a look at my Contest blog and maybe donate an extra Oils Set, or something/anything I could giveaway to a lucky someone, and they said "YES"!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
This is a HUGE thing for me as I am not the type to just ask people let alone, companies for things--in fact, I'm quite the shy person--BUT something today jsut gave me the faith and courage to just simply ASK. The worst that was going to happen was that they said "no" and I had kept telling myself that.
SOOOOOOOO this means now that I will have my very own 1st Giveaway -- Sooner than I ever imagined, AND my dream of being able to actually HAVE a contest/giveaway is starting to take flight!! :)
And these generous people are SOOOOOOOO nice that they even threw in not one, but TWO of their Infant Massage Door Pillows (one for me to keep, and one for the lucky winner!!)

I know, eh?? WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!! :D :D :D

I'll officially announce the contest/giveaway AS SOON as I get the Massage Sets!!!!! :)

Change Happens

Well instead of having my contest blogging stuff mixed with my personal stories, I decided it was best to separate the two and creat a new blog solely for contests and freebies available in Canada/for Canadians... You can find my Canadian Contest blog right here.

So now this will be a blog just for me and my stories :D

As we get older, we become wiser (well MOST of us anyways!! lol). As I get older, I realize that change is inevitable, happens whether we like it to or not, and is something you might as well get used to. I remember being a young child, and HATING anything that had to do with change... but now, I find myself usually embracing it and trying to get the best out of it.
What happened?? Well I imagine that I have finally accepted that it is what it is.

Then I look at my 6 year old son who is going through alot of changes in his life (new house, new school, new brother coming into his life) and I never see him having any problems adjusting to the changes all around him...It truly amazes me that unlike his mommy, he has no problems with change. It's definately a good thing, and I'm happy that he adjusts so well into situations.
Perfect example, he just started grade 1 at a new school where he knew nobody...my boy walked right into that school looking forward to whatever was about to come his way.. and ultimately, he succeeded with flying colours!! He came out that first day with a whole classroom of new friends and was happier than I thought he would be.

Anyways gotta finish cooking and doing some laundry!!!!

ttyl!

Time to get started!!!!

So first things first, since I last wrote, I had my 20 week ultrasound and we found out that we are having a BOY!!!! Yep, so that's 2 sons for me now, and I'm really excited!!!
Plus my lil man Nick started grade 1, and he LOVES it!!! I couldn't be happier, everything is going along great!!! :D

Now to the "business" aspect of things, I feel like such a newbie to the blogging world, but I refuse to give up!!! I know I am capable of accomplishing my dreams, and I will within time.. I hate how much time it takes to get to where I want to be, but if I keep on working at it, eventually I will see the results I'm ultimately looking for.

In my journey so far, I've discovered MANY great sites that I feel deserve recognition.
For contests, http://www.contestgirl.com is my absolute favourite!!! I visit the site everyday, and I always find good contests and giveaways to enter!!! If you haven't visited the site yet, I suggest that you do, it's great!!

I've been finding Blogs to be a great place to find giveaways from women that seem to have the same dream I do, which is to write about family you love, write reviews on products you love, and lastly, have great things to giveaway to others!!! I can't wait until one day, where I am in a position to do such, which is going to be sooner rather than later!!!! :D

While I haven't written much about anything so far, It's because I've been a busybee trying to make my blog look great!!! Adding links to all my favourite sites, and my favourite blogs...it really can be time-consuming!! lol

Anyways, soon enough I will be the ultimate blogger with a blog to be proud of one day..for now, it's me working up to it!!
