Now for the Winners

I was so blown away by all the wonderful responses, tweets, status updates and blog posts that I decided to add another winner. So here are the three winners of Laptime Songs for Mommies…and Daddies and Grandmas and Grandpas are JDaniel4’s Mom, My Open Roads and Kathy. Congratulations! I’ve sent you each the email with the download link.

Reduced Price for Laptime Songs

Because of the great response to the book and my desire for it to be in every home, I’ve lowered the cost of Laptime Songs for Mommies to $6. This is a great deal because it includes the music for 6 songs you can burn onto a CD or listen to in your favorite player, over 50 rhymes to sing to the songs, craft and book ideas to extend the fun into other activities with your little one and information on adapting the laptime program with your little ones from the newborn stage up through preschool age. Read more about how music can help you bond with your little one here.

If you’re interested in giving Laptime Songs for Mommies as a gift, please email me and we can arrange to either send the link for a digital download to your recipient or send a CD/CD-ROM of the songs and book via USPS.

Thank you to EVERYONE who entered the giveaway for Roger Day’s new album Why Does Gray Matter? …and other brainy songs for kids! I absolutely loved reading all the smart things you and your kids do. Seriously, wasn’t that the best bragging session ever!

The winner is Donna. Congratulations, Donna. Check your email for info from em about how to claim your prize. If I haven’t heard back from Donna by Wednesday, we’ll choose another winner.

If you’re bummed you didn’t win and would love to get an autographed copy of Why Does Gray Matter, then head over to his site where you can purchase it. If you’re in love with Amazon, like me, then you can head over there and grab Why Does Gray Matter?

Don’t forget to enter this week’s giveaway. It’s my new book. Read the post where I bare my musical soul. Then please leave me a comment. I’d so appreciate some love for my book!

Thanks to everyone who left a comment about the Treasure Basket Play eBook. I’ve had a great time reviewing this book and thinking of ways to adapt it for my girls who are growing so fast. My favorite benefit of treasure basket play is that it’s developmentally appropriate and grows with your child because there’s no “right” way for your little one to play with the treasure basket.

And now, for the winner: Jacquelyn! Congratulations, Jacquelyn. I’ve sent you an email with information on how you’ll obtain your copy of Treasure Basket Play. I’d love to hear how you and your little one enjoy it.

Merry Christmas! We’ll have a few more giveaways after Christmas. But for now, we’re on vacation and I’m going to enjoying celebrating my 5 year anniversary with my wonderful, patient husband!

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway and helped spread the word. It makes it possible for us to continue offering great products through our giveaways.

The winner of the VTech Ride and Learn Giraffe Bike is Lynn who suggested after dinner walk as a way to keep kids active. We love after dinner walks at our house, too! Lynn, I’ve sent you an email. Please respond today or another winner will be chosen and announced tomorrow!

I still have two more giveaways lined up before Christmas, so stay tuned for details on those.

Thanks to all who entered the giveaway. The winner of Bari Koral Family Rock Band’s newest album, Rock and Roll Garden, is SkylarKD! Congrats SkylarKD. I’ll be sending you an email, so please be on the lookout for it.

Bummed you didn’t win?

Me, too. I wish I had enough for everyone. But, you can pre-order the album from Amazon or on Bari Koral’s website. This would be a great addition to your collection of rock-out kids’ music!

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Thanks for all the positive feedback about Milkshake and their new CD. It was fun to see what songs you liked and then go back and listen to them again. Thanks, too, to everyone who became a fan of Milkshake on Facebook. I’m excited to announce the winner of the new Milkshake CD Great Day is Lisa.

We have loved getting to know this new CD. We hope Milkshake does a concert close to us, hint, hint! If you didn’t win, but are still interested in the CD, here are a few places where you can purchase it:

• Milkshake’s Store
• Milkshake’s Great Day on Amazon
• Milkshake’s Great Day on iTunes (will open iTunes in a new browser)

Lisa, please email me by the end of the day so we can get Great Day in the mail to you.

Thanks to everyone who entered! I had no idea my favorite part of this giveaway would be all the wonderful ideas about sparking the imagination of our little ones. Seriously great ideas! If you didn’t have a chance to read all the comments, I strongly encourage you to take the time to do it.

And the winner is…

Alicia who said, “I would love to take my kids to Discovery Gateway. I have heard a lot of wonderful things about it.

“I try to do a lot of different things with my children- go explore nature, different museums, read books on different topics that have to do with the world or people, do different crafts, etc. My son’s imagination can turn a piece of string into a fun toy. It is so fun to watch!“

Congratulations, Alicia! Please email me TODAY with your mailing address! If I don’t hear from Alicia today then a new winner will be chosen at random and announced tomorrow.

Hopefully all of you get the chance to visit the Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum. Such a fun place! In fact, we are planning on going up there Monday, June 1. If you’re interested in meeting us up there, just leave a comment so we can pick a time! I’d love to meet you and enjoy the museum together!

I have had so much fun hosting this giveaway! It was fun to read through all the comments about why you wanted new jewelry. Fortunately for me, the winner was chosen by Random.org so I didn’t have to decide between all your comments! Whew.

And the winner is ceejay! Please send me an email by midnight tonight so I can send you the gift certificate. You have until Saturday May 9th to redeem your $50 gift certificate. If I don’t hear from ceejay by the end of today, a new winner will be chosen and announced tomorrow.

Just because you didn’t get the gift certificate doesn’t mean you didn’t win! You can still print the coupon for your free pearl necklace from Goldsmith Jewelers. You need to bring it to the store to receive your pearls by Saturday May 9th. Happy Mother’s Day!
I wanted to share a few more pictures from the red carpet event at Goldsmith Jewelers. I felt like a million bucks that night. The best part of Goldsmith Co. Jewelers is they make every person who walks in their doors feel like a million bucks! Go check out the beautiful Pandora line for yourself, the amazing watches for your honey and all the rest of their sparkly collection. I’m positive you’ll find something you love!
