Think Spring Giveaway!

Tomorrow the calendar marks the first day of SPRING! I don't know about you, but I am sooooo ready for the warmer days that will bring green grass and leaves back on the trees. It's been a long cold winter!

The date will also be the start of our very first Giveaway! Ok, I know you are anxious to hear what the great giveaway will be and let me first say that I am totally thinking in practical terms! Remember, I am a mom and we have a very active household with all the sports we like to play! So, I've decided that the most useful item that all readers of this blog should have in their possession whether it is going for a hike, getting the blanket ready for a picnic feast or trying out a new set of rollerblades...everyone should have their own ....

First Aid Kit!

I keep one in my car at all times. If you have a son like mine (your own version of Curious George) well, then I think it should be in yours as well! Now that I know you can mend yourself or your loved one with a band-aid or at least fix yourself up enough to make the trip to urgent care if needed, you should be able to treat yourself to something fun!

Before you think "What? A First Aid kit?" there is also something else that goes with it....

A $25 Visa Gift Card!

Treat yourself to something nice...new gear for the bike...some new hiking socks...a good book or two, heck maybe even a new pair of shades...

Spring time is full of "new" things to explore and discover.

Now for the easy part!

To enter this giveaway, leave a comment on this blog any time between Saturday, March 20th and Saturday, March 27th  sharing: "What does spring mean to you?"

To get an extra bonus, sign up to follow Mom Got Blog! If you already do, ask a friend to follow!

Good Luck!

May the Luck of The Irish Smile Upon You

Ah, 'tis Saint Patrick's Day and everyone is a little bit Irish today, whether they are really of Irish decent or not. Rivers will turn green, clothes will have an emerald hue and most establishments will be serving up corned beef and cabbage with a nice cold pint of brew.

One legend that is tied into this holiday is that of the Four-leaf clover and the luck that bestows the individual that happens to find one. I am part Irish and I am here to say that I have never been "lucky" enough to ever, ever pluck one from the clover patch. As a kid, it never seemed to fail that the friend that was digging through the clover with me would always say "I found one! I found one!". I never win anything and this could explain why.  If I ever do find one, you can bet good green cash that I will be in front of the line to buy the next lottery ticket!

I asked the question the other day about having a giveaway on the blog and I am happy to say that the response has been great! So, I am going to go ahead and get this puppy rolling! This first giveaway will be a test to see if this is something fun and if we would like to do again.

Come back on Friday, March 19th to find out what the giveaway item will be, how to enter and how you can have your own "luck"- no Four-leaf clover required!!
