My quest continues..........

My goal for this year is to win big. Now, I have won big, I won the Learning Tower, along with some other amazing prizes so far. But I have a goal. One single prize eludes me. I am way to much of a tight wad to pay full price for it, even with online coupon codes. I enjoy a great bargain, and I do search out those fantastic online deals, but I am still too much of a tight wad to fork over the money.
I must win a Nintendo Wii! I want to play games and lose weight at the same time. I want to play games. I have to share my computer, you know, so I need something fun to do off the computer. The kids would love to have a Wii, and it would get them some exercise, too, without me nagging them!
Playing games together is a family past time at our house. We all enjoy it. I would even post a video of me playing the game if I won one from Ultimate Coupons.

New blog

OK, I made the move! I want to keep this blog mostly for regular posts, and for payperposts, because if I can make a little extra money doing what I love to do, well, I'm going to go for it!
So I am moving most of the contests and reviews to my new blog, The Good Stuff. There are many new blog contests posted over there today. I will do a small post here when I post over there, but I plan to post there daily most likely.
I hope you all won't get annoyed with the paid advertising posts. Sometimes they can get annoying, but I really want to make some money for Christmas.
I plan to have a few give-aways on this blog coming up soon, and I am really excited about them!
These day's everyone has a blog. You can find all different types of blogs from blogs about knitting to american soldier blogs. If you don't have a blog yet you can get more blog info online to get you started.

Whats a couple more?

Contests! Lets keep 'em coming, right? I don't intend to become a contest only blog, really. I am thinking of leaving blogger so I can have separate pages for contests and things. But I don't want to lose my links and start over, either. Maybe I could have a second blog for contests and make a big link here? What do you readers think? I still need to post some on my blog, though, for entry. Maybe I'll leave it alone.
So, here are some more, and I'll keep adding to this post today as I come across more.

Becki is giving away a 1lb bag of her special, home made Little Miracles for Diapers & Pails, which comes in 6 wonderful scents: Baby Powder, Lavender, Lavender flowers, Peppermint, Tangerine and Tea Tree. Little Miracles for Diapers and Pails is a product you can sprinkle in your diaper pail to eliminate odors, and you can use it for detergent to wash your cloth diapers.

Reversal Miracles also carries Little Miracles Bum Stick, which is a diaper cream that is safe for your cloth diapers. Since it is in a twist up stick, there is no yucky gunk on your fingers from digging in that jar or spreading the cream around.

Little Miracles Baby Massage oil comes in 2 scents and an unscented option. Little Miracles Mother's Essentials Oil comes in 4 awesome scents, just what a pregnant mommy needs to help relax!

If you would like to win a 1lb package of Little Miracles for Diapers and Pails in your choice of scent, there are a couple of things for you to do, in other words: the fine print!

1) Write a post about the contest. Link to this post on my blog and link to Reversal Miracles.

2) Come back here and leave a comment letting me know where I can find your post.

3) You must live in the US or Canada to enter this contest because of shipping costs, sorry.
