UPDATE!!
I've extended my giveaway to end on March 16th and I will draw a winner on Monday the 17th!! I know I've had a hard time making it around the bloggy world this week, so wanted to extend it slightly in case others can't make it until this weekend!!
Scroll down for door prize!!
5 Minutes for Mom is hosting the Ultimate Blog Party from March 7-14. If this is your first visit, here is a little about me.
My name is Candi and I have been married to my best friend for nearing 8 years. I actually met him online (when I was 17....so we've actually been together over 11 years), so we are proof that it really can work. We live in the D.C. metro area, after staying here when hubby got out of the Army in 2004. I am a stay at home mom to two boys. Logan is 5 now and boy does that child know how to make me laugh!! Lucas just turned two and is a complete joy!! I absolutely love my boys!!
Thanks for stopping by!! If you're lucky, my boys will entertain you while you are here!!
(I edited this to be open to all after checking shipping rates!)
Be sure to leave a comment to be entered in the door prize drawing (open to all!!). I have one of these and LOVE it!! I use the scissors a lot to cut down straws that are too long for the boys (thanks to my sister for that idea!!). This keeps them from having to tilt the cup so much to reach the straw. Anyway, I thought I'd offer one up as a door prize here!! (Just a note--I saw them for sale on Amazon with bad reviews with advice not to use them as a key chain. I don't--I just carry it in my purse and have never had any issues!)
I will leave it open for the week of the party and then choose a winner using random.org. Good luck!!
The one I have to give away is new in package and is lime!!
Be sure to check out 5 Minutes for Mom for more parties and prizes!!

2--#11

Bet those boys keep ya busy, huh?
Count me in for your giveaway, k?
That's so cute! I am constantly looking for something to snip those stray threads or pop the lid up on some container.
What a pretty party! The pictures of the kiddos in the curtains are wonderful!

Welcome to the party! I have two boys two (6 and 4) plus a 10 month old baby princess. It's certainly been fun having a girl to dress up after two boys.
Love all those hands up top! Looks like a lot of fun around here, so I look forward to getting to know you better :)
In the meantime, be sure to come by my party in southern Italy and say "ciao":

Great idea for a giveaway! I carry a pocket knife and have for several years, but it doesn't come out around my kiddo so this would be much safer I'm sure!

Hello from Alabama. My name is Mandy and I am mom to a 14 year old boy and almost 3 year old girl. Sorry, I haven't got a blog up and going yet, just lurking and seeing what it's all about. Don't like to feel as though I am spying on people though, so I pop in and let myself be seen. So HI! Nice to meet you.
Great Door prize. and the color is just in time for spring. man i have spring fever.
That's such a neat little gadget - I would love to win it! I love the star background on your blog - very cute!
Nice to meet you! Thanks for sharing your family with me. Thanks for the door prize too! I always need a set of tweezers in a change room at the mall, something about those lights make me find hairs on my face I never knew I had! So if I won this, that would be useful. lol.
I read your recipes and they sound delicious and easy! Do you always post recipes you use? (If yes, please message me and I think I'll bookmark you to snoop at your site more lol)
Thank you for writing me on my blog. Sorry your older son weaned so early. I think that would break my heart, too. I think when Anna weans completely I'll be heartbroken, too... then I'll have to have another! LOL! :D
Ugh. My youngest is started to wean too. :(
i wanna come to the party!! i Love parties.....and freebies!!! and i leaarned something new. you met online......God puts us wherever it takes to get us together, huh!!
Well, happy partying!!
Thanks for the cool party and fab giveaway!
Hello - nice to meet you! This is such a nice way to meet new friends!!! I'm glad I stopped by! I have to go check out UBP next!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love your blog header--did you do it yourself?
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm glad I got here in time to sign up for your giveaway. Lime green is the greatest. What a nifty little gadget! It's a perfect purse-sized little helper.
