This giveaway is over! Winner announced this weekend!

Oh yes, my friends. This one is the grand finale and I can say from personal experience, as I’m staring at my sick little baby in his crib through my video monitor, that it’s also an awesome one.

We’ve been using the Philips Avent Digital Video Monitor since Eli was about 2 months old. This was not our first video monitor, it was our second. This one performs so much better than the first that it’s actually amazing that the other one costs almost the same as this Avent monitor.

I don’t even know where to begin when describing this product especially since right now I’d love to be in bed and I’m getting sick but oh, I must get this giveaway up because I love that one of you lucky people is going to get one of these for free.

So, let’s see…

The monitor is completely quiet unless it senses noise or movement. On the parental control, you can actually press a button for music to begin playing in the baby’s room. I actually love doing this because I see Eli look at the monitor like “WTF, camera?!”  The picture is really clear and the camera itself moves around like crazy making it easy to get the shot you need. The ball magnetizes to the base, making it completely flexible.

Listen…IT’S AWESOME.

Oh and my friends at Philips AVENT just launched a new Growing Bump Facebook Application.  The Growing Bump is a digital photo slideshow that lets you document your growing bump week-by-week.  You can check out a sample by clicking here. It’s pretty cool.

This is a $220 value and one of you lucky kids is going to win it!

You know what I love? Camera strap covers. I do. I love that you can take them off and wash them. I love that when you’re with your friends and you all bring your DSLRs that this is a great way to identify your camera.

And I really love cute things.

Like these camera strap covers:

and I get to give one away today! That’s right, one lucky winner will be able to choose a camera strap from this adorable shop. If I won, I would choose this one:

but I can’t win so I think I’ll just order it, like soon because I suddenly feel like I can’t live without it.

But you can win! And how does one enter to win?

1. Head on over to this really fun shop and come back tell me which strap you would choose if you won! But don’t worry, if you win and you realize you want a different camera strap cover, that’s okay, you can choose whichever one you want. But for now, just pick one. FOR FUN! (for me)

2. Do not say “PICK ME” because it makes me slap my forehead out of pure frustration and then my kids will think I’ve done it out of frustration with them but it’s not and then I’ll have to explain to them what a BLOG is.

3. Tweet, Facebook or blog about this giveaway and leave each individual link in the comments. Four ways to win!

Two years ago, Lands’ End sent winter coats for Anna, Noah and I. They are the most comfortable and warm coats ever. Of course, my coat has held up really well because I stay far, far away from snow and well, honestly, driving with a coat on is not fun for me, so I usually just wear a sweater and freeze to death.

{I hate winter.}

BUT, when I do put my coat on, I can honestly say that it’s comfortable and warm and I really love it.

And the kids’ coats? They lasted two whole long, agonizing, freezing winters. And they’re kids who actually play in snow and mud and stuff.

I’m impressed.

So, when Lands’ End asked me if we’d like to try their new line of coats, I remembered that my kids have grown a A LOT since 2009, I agreed.

Anna picked the pink one and Noah picked the green one.

They are really “fancy” coats. There’s even something that wraps comfortably around their thumb that prevents the sleeves from moving up. (which is really important when playing in the stupid snow.)

They love their coats and I SWEAR to you, so do I.

And guess whaaaaat? I get to giveaway a coat to one of my lucky readers!

One lucky reader will receive either the Boy’s Expedition Parka, the 3-in-1 Squall Parka, or for Girl’s the Girl’s Expedition or the Squall Parka. ($99.50 value)

How does one enter to win?

1.  Just leave a comment telling me what you like about winter.  (and do not say “nothing, think positive!)

2.  Do not say “PICK ME” because it makes me jab Sharpies repeatedly into my eyes.

3.  Tweet, Facebook or blog about this giveaway and leave each individual link in the comments.  Four ways to win!
