Giveaways

Raising and nurturing children can be very rewarding, but it’s also exhausting. If you’re a mom who is feeling in need of encouragement, I wanted to invite you to join me on March 23-25, 2012 at the MomLife Bootcamp in Tyler, Texas.

Held at Pinecove Christian Camp, this weekend will be a time of refreshment, fun, laughter, and fellowship. I’m getting so excited and (a little impatient!) for March to come since the schedule of events looks so fabulous!

You will learn much, be loved lots, and have some serious fun alongside other moms of all ages! Come alone and God will provide you with just the right roommates. Or make plans to attend with a group and you can bunk together in the same room, or the same cabin – slumber party style!

Think summer camp, with the addition of wisdom and an entire weekend designed to help you connect with God more deeply and other moms more fully. You will also get to join in on some silly crazy fun and remember the girl you once were – or laugh at those moms who are doing just that!

I’ll be speaking on Saturday morning giving practical encouragement on ways that we, as women, can keep ourselves filled up and refreshed so that we have energy, joy, and strength to be conduits of Christ’s love to all God has called us to minister to. These are lessons I’ve been learning in my own life in dealing with postpartum depression and burnout and I’m looking forward to sharing what God has been teaching these last two years.

FamilyLife and MomLife are committed to making this weekend as affordable as possible, so they offering the entire weekend–including all meals and snacks, activities, sessions, and lodging for an all-inclusive price of $120. To register, just call 877-4PINECOVE.

If you’re planning to attend, be sure to let me know as I would love to get the opportunity to meet you and spend some time chatting with you!

Want to win a free ticket (includes all meals and snacks, activities, sessions, and lodging)? Just click on the graphic below and type in your name and address. One winners will be chosen and posted on Monday. This giveaway ends Friday, February 10, at 11:59 pm, CST.

If you love to eat out, but are finding that it’s putting a huge strain on your budget, Melissa Batai has recently released an ebook packed with creative ways to save while dining out.

The Mom’s Dining Out Deals ebook is 48 pages long and includes over 70 ways to save while dining out. Now since I’m not a fan of credit cards, I personally wouldn’t recommend her suggestions in chapter two, but I thought the rest of the book had great ideas–especially for those of you who are new to finding ways to get great deals at restaurants.

If you’re interested in ordering a copy, you can type coupon code MSM50 in the discount box when you checkout to get 50% off–making it just $2.50 for the ebook. This code is valid through February 12, 2012.

Melissa is giving away 10 free copies of Mom’s Dining Out Deals this weekend. Just click on the graphic below to enter to win. 10 winners will be chosen and post on Monday.

Reader, Dawn, at Barnes & Noble with my book yesterday

Thank you for all your amazing support of my book yesterday. I was just a wee bit excited (okay, more like crazily ecstatic!) to see it make it to #15 on the Amazon Bestseller’s list. That’s thanks to God’s blessing and your kindness to pre-order and pass the word along.

I promised you some fun freebies and giveaways this week, so here’s one for today:

1. Go to a local bookstore and get a copy of The Money Saving Mom®’s Budget.

2. Take a picture of you (or someone else) buying it at the register.

3. Email your picture to moneysavingmom@gmail.com and I’ll send you this Money Education Bundle from Dave Ramsey.

This offer is only good today, January 11, 2012. Your picture must be of you (or someone else) buying The Money Saving Mom®’s Budget at the register.

All Barnes & Noble stores and Books-A-Million stores nationwide should have the book in stock. However, I’d recommend calling ahead to verify before making a special trip to the store.

More giveaways and special offers to come!

Jenuinely Pure offers natural & safe products you can confidently use knowing that everything they make is with 100% natural and organic ingredients.

They sent me the Basic Skincare Set to try. I was a little apprehensive as I have very sensitive skin and the one time I tried an all-natural skincare product, it was quite disastrous. I was really happy that these did not break my skin out and did not have any adverse effects.

I especially liked the moisturizing serum. After using it on my face in the evening, I woke up feeling like my skin was much more radiant and refreshed in the morning.

Jenuinely Pure offers bar soap, soap nuts (a natural laundry detergent), all purpose cleaner, body wash, lip balm, and more! All of their products are completely pure and natural–and safe for your skin and your home.

If you have friends who like all natural products, you might consider purchasing some of the Jenuinely Pure products as Christmas presents. You can get 15% off any order using coupon code MSM15 through December 23, 2011.

Would you like to win a $50 store credit to Jenuinely Pure? Click on the graphic below and type in your name and email address. Three winners will be chosen and posted on Monday. This giveaway ends Sunday, December 18, at 11:59 pm, CST.

Rebecca from Better Life Bags has put together a downloadable Pregnancy Prayer Pack for you to use to pray for through your pregnancy or your friend’s pregnancy. Each week, the prayer cards highlight a different developing part.

For example, the week the heart starts to beat, you’ll pray that the little one’s heart will come to know and love Jesus above all else. And the week the tongue starts to develop? The prayers focus on praying for pure speech and encouraging words to flow through the tongue as the baby grows into an adult.

The downloadable Pregnancy Prayer Pack includes 38 cards in 12 designs for $8. All verses are NIV. Once purchased, you can print as many copies as you’d like to use for yourself or to give as gifts to pregnant friends. (You can’t share the download link, but Rebecca has graciously said you can print and gift as many copies you’d like.)

To see how Rebecca prints and compiles these prayer cards into a Flip Book, check out her post here.

Free 31 Days of Prayer for Your Husband Download


Rebecca is also offering her 31 Days of Prayer for Your Husband Prayer Card downloads for free. These would make great gifts to give to your friends. It would also be a wonderful gift to give to your husband — to make one for yourself and then let him know that your Christmas gift to him this year is that you are going to be fervently praying for him each day.

The 31 Days of Prayer for Your Husband Cards download is free of charge to anyone who follows her blog or click “Like” on her Facebook Page. Just email her at betterlifebags @ gmail.com after you’ve done so (with your email address) and she’ll send it to you.

Rebecca plans to be coming out with more prayer card sets in 2012. Sign up here to be notified when she has new prayer card designs available.

To enter to win a free Pregnancy Prayer Pack, just click on the link below and type in your name and email address. 10 winners will be chosen and posted on Monday. This giveaway ends Friday, December 16, at 11:59 pm, CST.
