The Stay at Home Mother

I saw on The View the other day that Kimberly-Clark (which produces such products as Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull Ups, Depend and Kotex) is awarding 16 lucky winners to have a new space in their homes.

Between January 28 to February 15th , one person each day will be announced on The View and will win $25,000 to renovate any room in their house.

The final contestant winner will be announced on March 21st on the Room A Day Giveaway website. Contestants can enter the sweepstakes daily by going to http://www.roomadaygiveaway.com. The contest is open to only US residents - so for all my US readers...best of luck!!!

For my Canadian readers, there is a great contest underway with the National Capital Commission. You can enter to win a great trip to celebrate Canada Day in Ottawa this year. It includes round trip transportation, three night's stay at the Westin Ottawa hotel, $320 in coupons, a shopping spree valued at $250 and admission for four to a national museaum in Ottawa.

To enter the contest, visit www.canadascapital.gc.ca and click on the "Discover the Capital" tab and then the "Contest" tab on the sidebar. The deadline to enter is March 31st, 2008.

What a great holiday that would be to win for a lucky family! I've already entered...I could use one for sure!

The best part about these contests is that you can enter from the comfort of your own own home, on your computer...gone are the days of the "clipping" and mailing in an entry form, from years' past.

And speaking of needing a holiday.. this past week has been a bit of a blur. My son was sick with the flu (and now has a terrible cold) and my husband has been home sick with the flu for the past few days. So instead of two kids to look after...its been three....LOL. :) But seriously - it has made for a very long week for everyone.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that my daughter will not catch it...or me as well! Now...what are the odds of that?!
