Broadway Tickets Giveaway! (and extra savings)

September 16, 2009 By 60 Comments

There has always been something about the Theater that makes my heart beat a little faster.  It could be the songs.  It could be the dancing.  It could be that I am in awe because I can’t do either.

Basic CMYKEvery time I go, I can’t get the music out of my head.  I’ve been lucky enough to see some of the very best:  Cats (four times – once ‘in the round’ in London), Les Mis, Phantom, MammaMia, Wicked – but there is only ONE that I have ever seen on Broadway in New York City: Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Aspects of Love. 

There is something about seeing a show on Broadway that turns the experience into something magical.

*sigh*

If only I lived in the City.

mammamiaBut for those of you who do: (even if you are within driving distance), there is a divine way to save on the tickets, the parking, and even hotels and other NYC attractions.

It is called Season of Savings, a twice yearly special edition Playbill. You could save up to 55% on select Broadway and Off Broadway Shows between now and December 20th.

The savings are available for 17 different shows:

And even better….I have THREE pairs of tickets to give away.

**You do have to live in or around New York City to qualify – or least be able to get to the city on your own as transportation will not be provided**

Pair 1; Shrek The Musical on OCTOBER 22ND

Baby Signs Giveaway + $50 GC to Babies R Us!

July 12, 2009 By 158 Comments

I spent the first month’s of both Delaney’s and Cooper’s lives mentally begging them to communicate with me.  Until they could talk – it felt like a guessing game – or some terrible joke the universe was playing with me: “Are you hungry?  Hot?  Cold?  Tired?  Just crabby?”

I know MANY moms who have used Baby Sign Language as a way to begin the mommy-baby communication process BEFORE words come in to play.

To celebrate that Mommy-Baby Bond:

babiesrus1A Fantastic Giveaway! 

We are giving away the pop-up book, Baby Signs AND a $50 Gift Certificate to Babies R Us.

babysignssmall1BABY SIGNS is based on American Sign Language and will help encourage the use of non-verbal gestures to communicate. Research has proven that babies who are taught to use signs to express their basic ideas before they can say words are happier because they can communicate with others.

There will be FIVE winners.

One (1) Grand Prize winner:

  • Copy of Baby Signs Pop-Up Book
  • $50 Babies ‘R Us Gift Card

 

Four (4) First Prize winners

  • Copy of Baby Signs Pop-Up Book

To enter, leave a comment here – telling me the ONE thing you wish your child could say to you from the very beginning.  Do you want to know when they are hungry?  When they miss you?  What makes them happiest?

For extra entries:

* Tweet this contest
* Subscribe to this blog (top right)
* Sign up for our newsletter

Contest will run until July 30th.

Good luck!!

Giveaway! ~Welcome Little One~

April 1, 2009 By 122 Comments

I think you know, I truly believe reading with your children is one of the greatest gifts you can give. 

As my daughter has grown from an infant, to a toddler, to a little girl – her interest in books has increased.  And I know that is, in part, due to the time we spent reading together.

welcomelittleone_interior3You know how the littlest ones LOVE the touchy-feely, interactive books??  Do you have a little one?  Or know someone who soon will?? 

I have the best gift for you!! Just wait until you see this giveaway prize package!! it is perfect for Welcoming the Little One to our world~

 Four (4) runner-up winners receive a copy of the new book

  • Welcome, Little One

welcomelittleone_interior2We own Welcome, Little One.  Both of my children think it is fascinating – even though they are clearly past the infant stage.  It is a wonderful, interactive book that celebrates that magic and joy that arrive when the new baby does.

Beloved author and artist Sandra Magsamen uses soothing, lulling text and a wide variety of novelty elements, including touch-and-feels, pull-tabs, lift-the-flaps, a musical sound chip, pop-ups and more to celebrate baby’s arrival.  You will clearly remember all of the special moments you experienced when baby arrived.

Contest runs from April 1st through April 27th.  To enter, please post a comment here and tell us your favorite children’s book – infant through toddlers and teens.

Bloggy Giveaway Time

April 22, 2008 By 303 Comments

 Sorry…this giveaway is closed now!  Thanks for playing!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

OK…here is what you need to know… (much of which will likely not be a surprise!)

I am fairly new to blogging. (I know, I know, my blog could use a little work!)

I love to write and am having a blast!

This is my first time joining the bloggy giveaway and I’m excited.

I was racking my brain….trying to come up with the perfect giveaway.  I was scouring other sites to see what was out there.  I discovered my creativity might be suspect.  I don’t make much (except dinner, and, clearly, babies) So…no jewelry, purses or bows from me.  I figure I will offer something I would love to win.  Something that would make my life a little easier.  Something I need.  Hmmmm.  How about giftcards to the places I like to shop?

So….here it is:

$15 to Target, $15 to Old Navy and $15 to the Children’s Place.  (Something for your home, something for you and something for the kids)

Here is what I would like from you:

1) Comment on this post

2) Tell me something you like or something I could improve upon with my blog (I know the background is white….I haven’t figured out how to change it yet!) or

3) Head to my real labor of love….my website www.ExtraordinaryMommy.com and hit me with some feedback.

I started both at the same time….and while I’m really enjoying blogging, ExtrarordinaryMommy has become a passion for me. 

I’ll keep the contest open until 12:00am on Saturday, April 26th.  Winner will be chosen at random!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Danielle

PS….I am taking your many comments to heart…I’ve even figured out how to really add pictures to my posts! Thank you very much!
