and the winner is...

I was going to announce the winner of the Target Card giveaway, along with cheesy photos of my old-school (folded up pieces of paper in a bowl) way of choosing a winner, BUT...

My computer seems to be toast. I have gotten both the black and blue screens of death. I may be out of commission for a while.

In the meantime, as boring as this is to JUST say...

The winner of the gift card is Pamela at trooppetrie. Congrats! Email me so I know where to send it.

Thanks to those of you who donated, even if you didn't leave a comment about it (very sneaky). You're the best!

That would be Amanda Sikes!

Please email me and let me know your address and those gift certificates will be on their way.

Yay! Hooray! Fun giveaway!

Thanks everyone. My first giveaway I deem a success. And you didn't leave me hangin', I don't feel like a loser, and all is right with the world.

Well, not really, but you get the idea. (Jonah is eating a little better today. I'll post an update later today hopefully.)

cloth diaper giveaway... for real this time

So this, my friends, is the GIVEAWAY.

My friend, Jen, is a working mom who has recently started her own cloth diapering business, SerwaChic. She worked and worked, toiled and slaved to come up with the perfect diaper for Jonah. After a couple attempts and some EB friendly suggestions from me, she did it! And here is his brand new stash (7 mediums, 10 larges with a few more on the way) of All In One diapers.


If you don't know much about cloth diapering, an All In One is just that. Everything you need in one diaper. It has a water proof material on the outside and an absorbent, soft material on the inside. And I love them. And they actually absorb, unlike our FuzziBunz that I ruined with Aquaphor. I'm using liners and Northern Essence diaper salve in his new ones, trying to keep them in good (absorbent) shape.

I probably love Jen's fitted diapers the most, but unfortunately, Jonah can't wear those because he can't handle the elastic of a diaper cover that you have to use with them.

But aren't they so adorable? (And really affordable to boot!)

So back to the giveaway.

This giveaway is good for four gift certificates.

There is one for a custom Fitted Diaper (a $9.00 value):

(She makes the waterproof covers to go with them too, although you would have to purchase one of those.)

One for a custom Two Size Snap All In One (size medium or large, an $18.75 value):


One for a custom All In One diaper (a $17.50 value):

And one for a custom Nursing Cover (a $19.50 value):

So leave a comment here (only one comment per person please), and I'll use the Random Picker Thingy to select a winner.

Jen does have some diapers and nursing covers in stock, but custom means you are welcome to look at all the materials she has available and choose your own. And if you EB peeps out there need some EB Friendly cloth diapers (or you've ruined the ones you have with Aquaphor like I did), Jen is IN THE KNOW. I'm loving mine. (Her website is serwachic.com)

And just to be in compliance with all I'm supposed to be in compliance with: I purchased Jonah's diapers from Jen, but these gift certificates I did not purchase. She is giving those away. And she didn't ask me to review her diapers, but they're great, and I wanted to share. So there you go. And something about Void Where Prohibited, FBI Warning, Copyright Reserved, No Purchase Necessary and so on and so forth.

So leave a comment. On this post. THIS is the giveaway. For real this time.

Let the games begin!

coming soon...

Hey everybody,

Well, I really want to give back to you guys for being such loyal and wonderful friends AND I want to give my good friend, JEN, some exposure for her new cloth diaper business, SerwaChic, so...

LOOK FOR A CLOTH DIAPER GIVEAWAY COMING SOON TO A BLOG NEAR YOU (ahem, this one.)

In the next couple days (or by next week at the latest... don't you love how ambiguous I am), I'll be giving away (or really Jen will... I'm not doing anything but posting about it) these four gift certificates to a lucky reader. I'll post some pictures of her great diapers and nursing covers and also let you guys see the GREAT custom cloth diapers she made for Jonah. And all you'll have to do on THAT post is comment for a chance to win.

These certificates are good for: one nursing cover, one fitted diaper, one All In One diaper, and one Two Size Snap Diaper.

And hey, even if you don't have kids or are out of the diapering stage, THESE would make a rockin' gift. Seriously, I would totally be jealous.

Okay, so be on the lookout for the giveaway. And you better participate, because it's my very first one, and I'll feel like a total loser if you guys leave me hangin'. But no pressure or anything.

So comment, comment, comment. (But not on this post. This is NOT the giveaway. I mean, feel free to leave comments here, but they will not get you any cool presents. Your comments here will just make me smile. They WILL make me feel all gushy inside reminding me of how much I love you. They WILL NOT qualify you for free stuff. Okay, just wanted to clear that up. I'm going to stop typing now. Can you tell Jonah's taking a nap and I finally have some free time? Ok, really, I'm stopping now.)

Man, I'm no good at this stuff. This has got to be THE most confusing giveaway known to man. Except that THIS isn't the giveaway. You know what I'm sayin'? Oh, you don't?

Me neither.
