Over the last few weeks I have received some fun packages in the mail. NHL always gets so excited to see what I have received. No matter what it is he is always happy to help me open up and see what is inside.

All of the following were items that I won in giveaways on blogs.

• Thank you to  5 Minutes for Mom for the fun Alvin and the Chipmunks package. I won their giveaway for the CD and DVD from the newly released movie. JL and I laughed when we heard the Chipmunks singing Bad Day. Thanks to the great weather NHL has not had a moment to sit and watch the movie, but we will on the next rainy family fun day.

• A package with a Baggu arrived courtesy of Cool Mom Picks. I absolutely LOVE this bag. The neat little sack that it comes in is wonderful. I keep it in my purse and have already used it for my bargain shopping at CVS several times. Several people have asked what it was since they were shocked such a large bag came out of the little sack in my purse. Thank you again Cool Mom Picks and Baggu!

• As many of you know I love the band Barenaked Ladies (BNL). Not too long ago I found out that they actually made a CD for children. It is amazing and I was lucky enough to win a copy of it, along with the book from The ‘lil mommy that could. NHL was fascinated with the illustrations in the book and he an JSL both loved dancing to the music. This will quickly become a family favorite – way to go BNL for a family friendly CD! A special thank you to Lil Mommy for the fun giveaway.

• Just yesterday a sweet little package arrived in the mail from CanCan of My Greening: Going Green. I love to knit, but I am forever afraid to branch out into more challenging items. CanCan was giving away a knitted gnome from Green Mountain Wee Woolies. When I went to their Etsy shop I was floored with the gorgeous creations. Now I know I should just keep knitting what I do and let the pros do these items. Thank you so much for the adorable gnome and surprise baby in the sling!

Here is a photo of three of the items mentioned above. Thank you again to all of the people involved in these – my family and I thank you and love everything! 

Hmmm. . . wheels turning about a giveaway of my own coming soon!
