Sweeps4Bloggers Bathrobe & Gain Laundry Giveaway ((ENDED))

*THIS CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED*

Valerie from Sweeps4Bloggers is giving away an awesome, helpful prize. A wonderful looking bathrobe and some awesome smelling gain laundry products!

I think my husband is a bigger fan of bathrobes than I am. I only wear mine in the winter, when I'm absolutely freezing and want to be snuggled up. My husband wears his all year long. He loves fluffy robes! He will probably enjoy the robe more than I would.

As for the laundry products, I am the one who does all the laundry and while I try to go cheap, I also try and get what smells good. Gain is definitely a product that smells so good! Laundry is a chore I have every week. With just the two of us, I can usually do about 2-3 loads a week, and that's all that I need to do. Laundry detergent and fabric softener is not always cheap, so winning some and getting some free, would definitely help financially and help our clothes to smell amazing!

Sweeps4Bloggers Monopoly Disney Pixar Cars 2 Edition Giveaway ((ENDED))

*THIS CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED*

My husband and I are big Disney Pixar fans. While my favorite so far is Up, my husband's favorite of all time, is Cars. He is SO excited for Cars 2 to come out. While we probably won't see it on opening night, or even opening week, we definitely plan to see it in theaters at some point.

I've always been a big Monopoly fan. It's a long game, but when you have the time to sit down and play it, it's loads of fun. My husband is not as big of a fan of monopoly, but he plays it with me every now and then.

Valerie from Sweeps4Bloggers is giving away a Cars 2 Edition of Monopoly! Big win win for hubby and I! Plus our siblings, our nephew, and our future children will also enjoy this game if we would win it!

There will be only one winner of this giveaway, so while I want to tell you to stay away and don't enter so that I have more chance of winning, I can't do that to Valerie. So please visit the link below and follow the rules to enter this contest. This giveaway ends 6/25.

Father's Day 2011

Father's Day is a difficult day for me some years. My dad was missing from my life from about age 9 until age 18. During that time we didn't talk a whole ton, and we didn't have much of a close relationship. During the past 4 years or so that my dad has been back in my life, I have still had trouble building up a relationship. Things are awkward and distant still. Along with that, his health has slowly gotten worse and worse. He is not quite 50 yet and I worry how long he will still be around.

Most conversations and visits with my dad are quiet, and very awkward. When I called my dad to wish him happy father's day yesterday, I didn't expect much difference. While things were awkward at first, I just kinda quit thinking about it and tried to talk about just whatever I could think of. It ended up being about an hour long phone call. It was still kinda of quiet, with awkward silent pauses here and there, but it seemed to be an improvement from past conversations.

We just mainly talked about what's going on in each other's lives over the past month or two since we have last talked. With him, there's never really anything new. With me, I just told him what I've been up to recently, between attending and planning birthday parties, babysitting, cleaning house, and so on.

On a better note, we had James' parents and siblings over for dinner for father's day. James made some delicious barbeque chicken on the grill and I made perogies and green beans to go along with it. The meal was a good success. Everyone found it very delicious, and sometimes his family seems hard to please, so I was glad to see that they all enjoyed it. We got to enjoy time on the back porch in the decent weather, and we played xbox kinect games for a while too. So yesterday wasn't too terribly bad.

Sweeps4Bloggers ScareMeNot Plush Toy Giveaway! ((ENDED))

*THIS CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED*

Little children are usually scared of monsters under their bed or in their closet at some point in their young life. I know my sister in law (who is only 6), came home from school saying the kids all told her that there is such thing as monsters. So my mother in law talked her into saying she has a monster under her bed, which is her cat. Her cat likes to hide under her bed and jump out at peoples feet! So now she tells everyone at school that she has a monster under her bed, but that she's not scared of this monster. So being afraid of something, is all part of childhood and growing up.

Valerie from Sweeps4Bloggers is giving away a cute stuffed monster toy, that is supposed to help children not be afraid of monsters. These toys show monsters in a new light. They look cute and adorable and cuddly. Not scary. This way they have their own cute monsters and hopefully will help them not be afraid of any supposed monsters under their bed or in their closets or whatnot. Also, these cute little monster toys have adorable names like Protector Patty!

There will be one winner of this contest, and it ends on 6/18. To enter, please visit the link, and as always, follow the rules.
