For the Nerd in You All!

I'm super excited about this giveaway!  Nerdy Shirts will be giving out a free tee to one lucky Pickle-Hating reader.  (You don't actually have to hate pickles. And you don't actually have to be a nerd to like these shirts.)  They have fabulous (and nerdy) shirts related to video game heroes, Star Trek (and Wars), and all things geekery.  I love this shirt, reminding me of blowing into Nintendo games--those were the days!

Caring Bridge Winner

And the winner of the Caring Bridge giveaway is Gigi the Hop!  Thank you, random.org for picking my winner. :)  I will be emailing you to get your address.  Congrats!

Belevation Giveaway!

Belevation has generously offered one of their Support Bands for a giveaway!

I totally wish I'd had one of these when I was pregnant with the boys.  I think they would have helped for sure with some of the pain I had as I got bigger (and bigger and BIGGER).  Here's a little blurb about how they are designed:

Belevation maternity garments are designed with a symmetrical, highly engineered support panel extending through the lumbar region and under the belly. The breathable four-way stretch fabric used throughout provides a gentle lift and smoothing control. More than just another bellyband holding up pre-pregnancy jeans, Belevation was designed as an under-layer, imparting the ultimate in comfort and support where it is needed most.  Richly embellished with a jacquard design on the breathable tummy pouch, and an embroidered logo, Belevation garments are outstanding due to their state-of-the-art features. It is these carefully crafted details that set Belevation apart from other similar products made overseas with lightweight fabrics that offer little real support.

Sounds great, right??  They also have yoga pants and boy shorts, which you can check out on their site.  There are two ways to enter to win your own Support Band:

1. Leave a comment here.
2. "Like" the Belevation Facebook page (HERE).  Once you do, leave another comment here to let me know.

The giveaway will end on Monday, June 20th at 11:59pm.  Good luck!

Caring Bridge Giveaway!

If you've been reading my normal blog, you have seen the links to Lynn's Caring Bridge page.  Caring Bridge provides a way for families to communicate their needs, progress, and updates online for free as they deal with any serious health event.  It's been great to have while Lynn goes through treatment so multiple people can read about how she's doing.  (She is doing well, for the record!)

Caring Bridge has donated a Comfort Kit you can see HERE for a giveaway!  Included are things like sunscreen and lip balm.  This would be a great pampering or travel kit..  To enter, please leave a comment below!  The winner will be selected by random.org and I will close the giveaway on Saturday, June 18 at 11:59am.
