I like to write and review for Props & Pans. This week they are giving away 2 100.00 visa gift cards to commenters. That’s right, all you have to do is go to their site and read their posts this week. Tell them what you would like to give, or what reviews you like that are posted. It’s like a read and write. Pretty easy if you ask me. Of course, you get an extra entry for blogging about this giveaway. What would you do with 100.00 dollars for Christmas? Don’t tell me, go tell Props & Pans.

Last contest for a little bit.

We’re sick again in my house so I haven’t had time to post anything. It started with my husband even though I think my daughter and I were the ones that picked up the germs. My son got sick after my husband. I was up all night one night with him, then the next night my daughter and my son were up. So that was two nights with limited sleep then yes, I got sick and boy am I sick.
I have it the worst out of all of us. Woes of a mommy.
Anyways for the giveaway.
I have been reading a lot of blogs and I’m on a lot of frugal lists. My heart breaks for all of the families out there that are barely getting by. I also feel so much for those of you that are having a hard time with Christmas.
I have coupons to give, I know I have been giving a ton of coupons away lately, but one person will get my stuffed envelope of coupons.
I have been going through all of them. I have a couple for pantyhose, and some for board games.
I just have tons to give away. You have one week to enter. The contest ends on November 14th. The envelope is already full it’s just waiting for a winner.
So leave a comment with your e-mail address. If there is no e-mail address I won’t be able to contact you.

I have to answer the question, “Why do I deserve to win?”
INTRO
What makes me special, what makes me stand out from other mom bloggers. I have two children, no; I think there are moms out there that have many more children than just two. We need this, well, no, do I want to win yes.
I asked my husband to answer this question and he flat out said, we don’t deserve to win. Well I suppose that is true, but I am going to tell you my story anyways.
STORY
My daughter was born Jan 1 2007. My stepmom came up a few days after she was born and helped out for a few days. Then my mom came after a few more days and hung out with us. I wanted my dad to meet my daughter so I took her down to see him. I got pregnant (didn’t expect it to happen so fast). We went to visit my family. Oh yeah, my dad and stepmom live in Texas, I live in WA. My mom and stepdad live in Florida. I MISS MY FAMILY!
I told my dad and stepmom I was pregnant and we had some laughs and it was back to WA. I had my son in March of this year and I didn’t have any help. My husband couldn’t even take off of work at the time. He was leading a project. So I was so ALONE with two kids I mean two babies. I got depressed and couldn’t breastfeed and I got more depressed. Well, my mom and grandmother came up to visit, so I put my depression aside and spent a few days with them.
Well, I’m not depressed anymore. I found a MOMS Club in my area and made some really great friends. I have found the blogging community and I stay really busy and active now. My only problem is and this is why I want to win. My dad still hasn’t seen his grandson. I would give anything for him to meet his grandson for Christmas. I can’t fit it into the budget to buy all of us tickets, that and the idea of traveling by myself during the holidays with two kids, two car seats and a bunch of grumpy passengers is not something high on my list. I would love to fly them up here.
My husband and I made a budget last month. We are not going to be putting anything extra on the credit cards this year. We had no idea how hard it was to stay on a budget. Nor did we have any idea how expensive kids are. We aren’t in an economic crunch like a lot of families are but we do see how important it is to stretch the value of a dollar.
CONCLUSION
When you add up the mom things I do: play dates, fundraising, blogging, reviewing; I feel like the average underachieving mom. Boy, moms sure are hard on themselves. J I’m nothing special, just a mom, a wife, and a daughter who would like her father to meet his grandson. That would be my Christmas dream.
Thanks for having this contest. If I win or not it was GREAT to get this out off of my chest.

See Kia Run – review, contest link, and Donation
September 25, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Aren’t these cute. These were donated to my MOMS club for our gift basket raffle. I wonder how many tickets I can buy myself. I love them so much so I don’t want to give them to the club. I want to keep them.
See Kia Run. When I worked at Kids Club I got to order shoes. I loved ordering shoes and this brand was our best seller by far. It was a good price point compared to the other shoes we sold. I love them. The facts :
Why See Kai Run?
Healthy Fit
- Very flexible soles are healthy for developing feet.
- Wide opening and toe box accommodate even the chubbiest little feet.
- Velcro closure allows for adjustable fit and easy on and off.
- Leather lining is breathable and durable.
- Padded collar adds comfort and helps our shoes stay on little feet.
Quality Construction
- Leather used for our footwear meets the most stringent available U.S. and international guidelines.
- Sheepskin leather uppers are butter-soft and more durable by weight than cow leather used by many other brands.
- Durable construction and rubber sole stand up to heavy play indoors and out.
Urban Style
- Hip, urban styles in modern color palettes.
- Bold designs and detailing.
- Modern takes on classic styles.
I took this information from their site. To me, they are flexible hard sole shoes that are perfect for first time walkers. Zoe’s first pair of shoes were the April . They were perfect for her. They bend completely in half and they were easy for her to take off if her feet were hot in the car. The shoes above are the Levi . They are both on clearance and you can order them directly from their website. I’m such a huge fan and I had no idea you can order them from their site. You have to look at the site. http://www.seekairun.com. The shoe line is named after the owners first son Kai. I met Kai the first time I bought shoes for Kids Club.
Oh and I bet you are wondering, she said something about contest. Yes I did. At some other websites you can find a contest and enter to win a pair.

There are probably more out there but this is all I could find for now. I’ve been trying to win myself a pair. Visit See Kai Run.
