These are science fiction/fantasy novels for the teen audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's more information about this book directly from Penguin:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="bookcopy"  style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the ancient evil of the Blackbringer rises to unmake the world, only one determined faerie stands in its way. However, Magpie Windwitch, granddaughter of the West Wind, is not like other faeries. While her kind live in seclusion deep in the forests of Dreamdark, she's devoted her life to tracking down and recapturing devils escaped from their ancient bottles, just as her hero, the legendary Bellatrix, did 25,000 years ago. With her faithful gang of crows, she travels the world fighting where others would choose to flee. But when a devil escapes from a bottle sealed by the ancient Djinn King himself- the creator of the world- she may be in over her head. How can a single faerie, even with the help of her friends, hope to defeat the impenetrable darkness of the Blackbringer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;At a time when fantasy readers have an embarrassment of riches in choosing new worlds to fall in love with, this first novel by a fresh, original voice is sure to stand out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?

I was drawn to the design before I was even aware of the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Carolina Pad &lt;/span&gt;products.  Now I've been introduced to all the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Carolina Pad&lt;/span&gt; collections and I've had fun spotting them at the stores I shop at.  But Hot Chocolate is still my favorite!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span&gt;My Fave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;: My Organizational Folder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.carolinapad.com/uploads/products/HC_OrfFldr_Diag_thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 104px;" src="http://www.carolinapad.com/uploads/products/HC_OrfFldr_Diag_thumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/our-brands/studio-c/HotChocolateOrganizationalFolders.cfm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Organizational Folder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is my favorite product that I've used.  It's a durable 8-pocket notebook that has transformed my "pile 'o papers" on my desk into a beautiful Hot Chocolate Folder laying on my desk.  At first glance you think it's just a spiral-bound notebook, but open it up and you will find organizational bliss.  This is my favorite product because it's the most useful to my daily office tasks.  I placed a sticky note on each folder labeling the category.  I can easily sort the papers on my desk into 8 categories and love this pretty new organizational tool in my office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Collection with a Cause:  Kendall Kollection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.carolinapad.com/uploads/image/Kendall_collection2%281%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 518px; height: 259px;" src="http://www.carolinapad.com/uploads/image/Kendall_collection2%281%29.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jacqueline Savage McFee designed the &lt;a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/our-collections/kendall-kollection.cfm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kendall Kollection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in honor of her cousin Kendall who is fighting Leukemia.  A portion of each sale goes to support The Leukemia &amp;amp; Lymphoma Society.  I love the bright, cheerful colors in this collection, and what you can't see in the photo are sparkles that appear on products like the notebooks.

And Llama Llama’s mama makes sure he’s ready. They meet the teachers. See the other children. Look at all the books and games. But then it’s time for Mama to leave. And suddenly Llama Llama isn’t so excited anymore. Will Mama Llama come back? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Of course she will.

Sam likes Diggers, while Lulu thinks Monkeys is the best game. Sam suggests playing under the castle, but Lulu knows that the top is the most fun. They just can’t agree! And then Lulu asks, “Have you ever played Ladybug Girl?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:courier new;" &gt;As Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy, Lulu and Sam save the playground from hairy monsters and big mean robots, and have their very own parade on the bouncy dinosaurs.

Skype is a full-service communications company that offers free and paid services.  I am hosting a giveaway for three of my lucky readers to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;win a Skype Pack (over $100 value)&lt;/span&gt; which includes a headset and SkypeOut credit for calling landlines and cell phones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Skype is FREE, Get Started Now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/skypetoskypecall/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Skype-to-Skype calls are free. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; When you make a call from your Skype account to another Skype account, that call is free!  I'm impressed with how easy Skype is to set-up, they really put a lot of thought into their user interface and it's easy for anyone to use.  It's really quite simple to get started, so I wrote out these steps to help you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Equipment Needed:&lt;/span&gt; You need to have either a headset or microphone for your computer so that you can hear someone talking and be heard yourself!  You don't have to have a camera, but if you do this allows you to use the free video calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Download Skype&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; software for free&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Start talking! &lt;/span&gt; You need to know someone's Skype ID in order to call them, but you can do a search for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Skype Offers Affordable Paid Services&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are not limited to the free Skype-to-Skype services, because &lt;a href="http://www.skype.com/prices/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Skype offers affordable paid services too&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  There are plans that offer "pay as you go" or monthly subscriptions.  So you can pick what you need to make and receive all of your phonecalls.   If you have any questions about the free vs. paid services please read "&lt;a href="http://www.skype.com/prices/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What's Free and What's Costs a Little&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Skype Connects My Family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started using Skype after my friend gave me a webcamera for Christmas.  Now we can keep in touch with my children's grandparents that we only see a few times a year.  My kids love the interaction they get with the full-screen video and even like to tickle the screen.  It's so fun for us (and for our family) to stay connected this way!  And our calls to each other are free because we are both using Skype.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Skype For My Business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My blog is my business and it has grown so much!  I planned on setting-up a business phone number and voicemail, but hadn't made any steps in executing that plan.  Skype is now my business solution for my communication needs after trying out their &lt;a href="http://skype.com/allfeatures/subscriptions/uscanadaworld/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Skype Unlimited World Subscription&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  I've got my voicemail set-up and will be purchasing an online number that anyone can call from any phone.  Skype will help me stay in-touch with my readers and advertisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The email addresses that I collect for this giveaway will only be used for the purpose of contacting the winner, and will never be given to anyone.

Of course I'm happy to let Frigidaire replace it for me in exchange for blogging about my own experience as a "Frigidaire Test Drive Mom".  Of course I have my readers to thank for making this opportunity happen by making my blog a success.  And I also need to thank &lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.momcentral.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mom Central&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for connecting me with Frigidaire.  They've been connecting me with great products to review and giveaway since the very beginning of my blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always my goal here is to help you, so I'm not just going to be relaying information about Frigidaire's new line of appliances.  I'm also going to be sharing with you how you can win Frigidaire appliances and I'm cooking up some of my own giveaways for you as part of my Frigidaire product review.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.frigidaire.com/Files/Images/Promos/MeTime_chip_top_090506.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 98px;" src="http://www.frigidaire.com/Files/Images/Promos/MeTime_chip_top_090506.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The New Frigidair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;e Appliance Collection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frigidaire.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Frigidaire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; just announced a new collection of more than 250 kitchen and laundry appliances designed to save you time.  The goal is that these appliances will help give Moms more free time by working smarter.  How can they work smarter?  By offering new features such as a six-minute preheat time on their ovens, a dishwashing cycle that cleans in half the time, a dryer that lets you dry the entire family's clothes at one time, and even washing/drying cycles that are synched to take the same amount of time.  These sound like features that every mom could use - I know I could!  I'm always looking for ways to get the same job done in less time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mymotherload.net/assets/common/img/bgHomePrizesNew.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 141px;" src="http://www.mymotherload.net/assets/common/img/bgHomePrizesNew.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Can You Win Frigidaire Appliances?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell Frigidaire what are the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; five things&lt;/span&gt; you would do with an extra hour each day for your chance to &lt;a href="http://www.mymotherload.net/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;win an entire suite of new Frigidaire appliances&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Three of my lucky readers will &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;win a &lt;span&gt;"What's for Dinner?" gift basket &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(pictured above)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in this giveaway.  Each gift basket contains a metal colander, serving spoon, cheese grater, and Romano's Macaroni Grill Creamy Basil, plus coupons to try the other varieties too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.myblogspark.com/s/1399/images/mg_cb.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 206px;" src="http://www.myblogspark.com/s/1399/images/mg_cb.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My family's favorite &lt;a href="http://www.restaurantfavoritesathome.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Romano's Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is the Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken &amp;amp; Pasta.  It is definitely not something I could whip-up myself from scratch in under 20 minutes.  And let me tell you, with two impatient toddlers ready to eat dinner NOW, every minute I save in prep-time counts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will admit that I was skeptical at first that this would taste like a "boxed meal" but it does not!  The premium ingredients are packaged in a way so that it's similar to you creating it yourself - just with the seasoning and sauces already prepped for you.  They even offer great chef's tips plus ideas for other ingredients to add-in to really customize your dinner to suit your family's tastes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are four Restaurant Favorites varieties and each includes the pasta, sauce, and seasonings - you just add the chicken, butter or olive oil, and milk (for some varieties).  It's easy, and it's also affordable with this &lt;a href="http://www.restaurantfavoritesathome.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;$1 coupon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (don't forget to print it twice).  Use your coupons when this product is on-sale for a better deal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The email addresses that I collect for this giveaway will only be used for the purpose of contacting the winner, and will never be given to anyone. This giveaway will &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;close Tuesday, May 12 at midnight (CST)&lt;/span&gt;. I'll announce the first name of the winner in a new post the next day and contact the winner by email. I will draw the name of the winner by using the random number generator at &lt;a href="http://random.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Random.org&lt;/a&gt; from the eligible entries received. If a winner does not contact me within 48 hours by email, I will draw a new winner. This giveaway is only open to residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older.

Not true!  &lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/mothers-day-gift.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Photofiddle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; enables you to create your own artwork from your photos.  There are endless possibilities, but you can &lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/index.php?act=ondes"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;get a feel for the different art styles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. All of my readers can benefit from using this &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/mothers-day-gift.html" target="_blank"&gt;coupon code mom15&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to "commission" their first work of art at &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Photofiddle&lt;/span&gt;.  And one of my lucky readers will &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;win a $50 gift certificate&lt;/span&gt; to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Photofiddle&lt;/span&gt; in this giveaway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pskVz_lpJ8w/Sf7KMwvzIFI/AAAAAAAACsw/8xnPfQ9zay0/s1600-h/IMG_5818.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pskVz_lpJ8w/Sf7KMwvzIFI/AAAAAAAACsw/8xnPfQ9zay0/s200/IMG_5818.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331921329445871698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is the photo I had turned into art - a great photo, but    &lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/mothers-day-gift.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Photofiddle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; turned it into something really special.  It was so easy to turn my son's photo into a piece of art that I'm already planning my next photo to transform.  Don't be overwhelmed by &lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/index.php?act=gallery" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/mothers-day-gift.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;all the different styles available because when you submit your photo their design department will help you and show you different options.  You just browse and pick the art you want, because they do all the work for you.  I fell in love with the "Deep Sponge Paint" style for my son's photo because I thought it featured his face the best.  My art was printed on &lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/php/showProduct.php?id=2" target="_blank"&gt;canvas stretched on a wooden frame&lt;/a&gt; and it's ready to hang in his room.  It was shipped to me snugly packaged in a a box and even came with cotton gloves so that I can handle it without letting the oils from my hands damage it.  The detail in the artwork is amazing and the colors are vivid.  This does not look like something that was printed from my photo (you see no white spaces in the texture of the canvas).  This looks like a work of art!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photofiddle.com/pic/galleryLogo.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 167px;" src="http://photofiddle.com/pic/galleryLogo.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I recommend that you &lt;a href="http://photofiddle.com/index.php?act=reg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sign-up for a free account at Photofiddle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; because they do a monthly gift certificate drawing.  They also promise to only send you a maximum of two promotional emails each month and will keep your email address confidential.  This would be an easy way to keep them in-mind when you are ready to create your own artwork.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?

I'll be giving away an advanced reader copy of this book to&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; three&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; of my lucky readers&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main character of this book is actually blogging over at &lt;a href="http://www.pleasantsquirrel.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Pleasantsquirrel Post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; where you are sure to enjoy a laugh or two.  Here's more information about this book directly from Penguin:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;First things first, Patricia von Pleasantsquirrel is not a squirrel. She’s a girl—a princess, in fact, only she hasn’t found her princessdom. But that’s about to change. Inspired by a book she reads, Patricia sets off for a place where she can stay up till midnight, eat cake before dinner, and have not just a dog but a great white stallion. She finds it. And a whole lot more than she bargained for. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;James Proimos pays cheeky homage to a classic picture book favorite in this disarming, laugh-out-loud funny tale of a prideful little girl, her royal goldfish, her airplane, and her cadre of hippos. Two levels of comedy and plenty of visual gags make this a great read for kids and parents alike. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Author of the Johnny Mutton series, James Proimos has also written screenplays for Nickelodeon and created several TV shows. In addition to their striking resemblance, James and Patricia von Pleasantsquirrel share a fondness for chocolate cake before dinner and staying up until midnight. James would like you to know that his favorite pants are shorts. His favorite animals are all of them. And his favorite book is the one you’re reading about right now. These days, he and his wife split their time between Los Angeles and their farm in Maryland, where there are no purple hippos (read the book!) but quite a number of horses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:courier new;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?

I'll be giving this book to&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; of my lucky readers&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's more information about this book directly from Penguin:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:courier new;" &gt;Has there ever been a more curious child than Lorenzo? Even as a baby, he asks big questions. Why does his rattle fall down rather than up? Where do the stars go in the morning?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:courier new;" &gt;But his performing family, The Fabulous Fortunatos, are more interested in juggling, singing and telling jokes. With his tipsy tightrope walking and his clumsy juggling, Lorenzo doesn't fit in. Sometimes he even feels that he's been born into the wrong family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:courier new;" &gt;Then one day, Albert Einstein attends the show and recognizes the scribbles on Lorenzo's hand for what they are: /genius/. Soon, the two blast off on a zany space adventure, and before it's over Lorenzo will learn that it takes more than one type of talent to make the Fortunatos fabulous.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:courier new;" &gt;This endearing and silly story celebrates the power of individuality, the importance of big imagination, and the ways we all fit in… even when we least expect it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?

But wait, there's more!  Since I've got tons of readers that don't live in Houston, I decided to contribute something to this giveaway myself.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Four of my readers will win $25 Disney.com e-gift cards&lt;/span&gt;.  So there will be five winners in this giveaway!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that all of my readers who live near a city that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://disney.go.com/disneyonice/" target="_blank"&gt;Disney on Ice&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is coming to can save money if they buy tickets using this coupon code:  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MOM&lt;/span&gt;.  You'll get&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 4 tickets for $44&lt;/span&gt; by using this code when you purchase tickets through Ticketmaster.   Just enter the code &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MOM&lt;/span&gt; in the MC Promotion Box.  Please &lt;a href="http://www.momcentral.com/blogs/feld-special-offer.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;visit Mom Central for more details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on the discounted tickets offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?

Nutritionally superior and just plain good-for-you - &lt;a href="http://www.8thcontinent.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8th Continent Soymilk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; used to be a special treat for me but I'm considering adding it as a regular daily beverage to my diet.  I just tried the new 8th Continent Complete and I love it!  8th Continent provided me with coupons to purchase two half-gallons for free, and they are offering to give away &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;coupons for two half-gallons to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ten of my lucky readers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;  Now a few of my readers can try it for free too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried the &lt;a href="http://www.8thcontinent.com/products/8th-continent-complete-soymilk" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8th Continent Complete&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in Vanilla and when I compared the nutrition label to the 2% cows milk in my fridge I was really impressed.  About half the fat of the 2% milk - and absolutely no saturated fat.  Please check the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.8thcontinent.com/product-locator"&gt;8th Continent Product Locator&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to find what store near you carries this product.  I purchased my 8th Continent Complete at Walmart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information about 8th Continent Soymilk Complete:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* A nearly perfect food, 8th Continent has created &lt;i&gt;Complete&lt;/i&gt; by taking all of the benefits of soymilk and paring them with three great benefits (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;calcium, fiber and omega-3 DHA&lt;/span&gt;) to create one delicious product for the entire family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It is the only soymilk that is approved by the American Heart Association by containing ingredients that help &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke&lt;/span&gt; and its unique to the category because it will be the only soymilk in the category that offers all three nutritional benefits in one product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* 8th Continent &lt;i&gt;Complete&lt;/i&gt; was also the recipient of the 2008 “&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;#1 Tasting Soymilk in America&lt;/span&gt;,” bestowed by the prestigious &lt;i&gt;American Masters of Taste&lt;/i&gt; National Panel of Executive Chefs.&lt;i&gt;  &lt;/i&gt;Note: American Masters of Taste evaluates thousands of food products annually and selects only one winner per category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to enter this giveaway for a chance to win?&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The email addresses that I collect for this giveaway will only be used for the purpose of contacting the winners, and will never be given to anyone.
