Hallmark get Carded Challenge - #giveaway

If you know me, or have read a few of my past posts...
You will know that my mom initiated the love of snail mail to me.

I remember in college, I would get mail from her at least once a week...
I was so worried that I would be that college kid that never got mail, but my mom made sure that was never the case...

Once I moved and got my own place, she kept up with that as well.
Maybe not once a week, but I did get real mail and not always bills...

I was emailed to see if I wanted to participate in the Hallmark Get Carded Challenge.
Of course, I said yes!
I love mail, so I know others do too!

The Get Carded Challenge is simple.
You mail a different card to a different person for 7 days in a row.
Pretty simple.

Of course, the first person I wanted to send a card to was my friend, Melissa.
I had been meaning to go and buy a card for her, but I admit...
Trying to go and pick the right card gets trying with Broxton...
I like to look at every single card that the store has...
What 2 year old wants to wait around for that?!

So, that being said...
I started my challenge.
My grandmothers also received cards...
I know there were times when I would go to the mailbox and get an unexpected note from them, just wanted to return the feeling!
I also sent them to several friends that I have not spoken to in a bit.
All in all, I like to hope that I put smiles on their faces...

I did hear from Melissa, what a nice surprise to her it was!

With Hallmark, they helped make Marc's deployment a bit easier for me...
I was able to send him tons of cards and not one was duplicated (that I know of!)
Hallmark has always been a name I loved and I hope you love them too!
(The Hallmark commercials always make me cry, just so you know!)
Would one of you like to take the Hallmark Get Carded Challenge?

    The card you sent is still on the ledge next to my kitchen table! Thank you! :)

    I love to send cards, too. I'd send one to my friend Meri, who--even though she lives FAR away--has walked with me through every trial of the past 30 years. (Wow, how old am I?!)

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
