Lucky!

I enter a lot of contests. It's a hobby - a fun one. We don't have a lot of spare cash (I know, welcome to the club, right?) so I really enjoy thinking and dreaming about the prizes and how they will make my life easier or nicer, or how I can share them with others. Most of the time I don't win - and that's okay, I get a lot of joy from the fantasizing, and learn about a lot of products that I may not otherwise have come across. I even have ended up purchasing some products based on learning about them through giveaways and sponsored reviews.

I've been really lucky lately and I wanted to share some of my recent wins as a thank you to all the giveaway hosts and sponsors, and as inspiration for anyone who is out there entering contests and thinking they will never win! Here are some of my recent wins:

Baby stuff:

• A CozyCare Mat from Shannon Blogs Here and Spa Time Baby
• A CozyCare Cape (how cool! I will get the matching cape!) from Parents Gear and Spa Time Baby
• a DaBib from A Psych Mommy and DaBib! I chose the yellow DaHugs :)
• a Pint full of PJ's from MomDot Reviews and The Corner Stork! I chose Lime. These are super cute!
  

Me stuff:

• $500 in clothing from Icebreaker... yes, $500 and I had so much fun shopping! They have been an absolute pleasure to deal with!
• a Lucky Star Tall Pleated Tote from Parent Reviewers and Loyal Army
• a book from Yummy Mummy
• some lovely fabrics from Mango Sunrise and Lovely Little Handmades
• an Otter Bottle from Optimistic Beauty
• a coupon for one of the new designer Clorox canisters from Momma in Flip Flops2

The only thing I have received so far is the Clorox coupon (thank you Momma in Flip Flops2! That was super fast!) - because ALL of these things I have won since February 27th. Unreal! I am looking forward to getting some awesome mail soon!
Edit to add: I also have received the CozyCare Mat! It's amazing, great quality! Thank you Shannon and Spa Time Baby!

So if you have been entering contests and thinking you will never win... well, just keep at it. Everyone has a chance and hopefully some of my luck will rub off on you!
