TV Boyfriends

Hello, Are You Ready?  Move that B…no wait, just double check your links and entries, this could get gritty!

I am in the process of kicking off a “12 Days of Christmas” Give-away(s) on three of my blogs.  They are Mom~E~Centric, Education Uncensored and Mom is Teaching.

You can find full posts with vendors names on each site.  I am writing to ask you to help promote the give-a-way in one way or another, simply word of mouth, the internet, our great social forums like TwitterMoms and Blogher or your own blog or website/network.

The rules and terms and conditions will all go up in a post tomorrow but for you here, so you have a heads up, here’s how the contest will work.

The one rule that stands out in my mind is to let you know that the contest will run from midnight Dec 1st until midnight Dec. 12th.  Each entry must be time stamped between the hours of 12 AM and 11:50 PM of that same day in order to be counted.  I will be doing the necessary behind the scenes paperwork and try to get winners information to the sponsors so they can hopefully make the mailing time frame.  Other than that…

1.  The contestant must put up a blog post (or other website entry) including at least one button and including both the link to my post where the give away is taking place as well as the company who is sponsoring the give away.  The contestant must come back to the blog and link to the post where this post is hosted.

2.  The contestant can gain a second entry into the contest by twittering both my link and the sponsor’s link.  The entrants will need to leave me their Twitter Name (as if I don’t know it already, I want to get to know you and follow your through twitter).

3.  The last way to get an entry in the contestant is by subscribing to my RSS Feed.

If you could promote this Give-a-way, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Here are a few of the buttons which will lead you to the original posts that I am just getting out now.  Tomorrow rules and regulations for everyone and then Sunday, buttons for everyone.  But, here’s a few for you to try on for size.

So, I give you the button and the code…

Ok, so here’s the deal, if a company were to offer me something…I don’t know what yet, just something…and I was to give it away here on the blog…..what kind of contest would you participate in and what (within reason) would you like to see as the prize being given away??????

I know that I have changed the blog format some and as of late I’ve spent a lot of time raging about my own’s public school experience.  But, I am trying to get back to the basics here which is “educating our children by whatever means necessary”.

I want the blog to reflect all degree’s of teachers as well as learners.  So, with that, go vote for

Best Education Blog.

CONTEST:  Take the following five questions to your blog (if you don’t have one, simply answer in my comments section) and post the questions and answers by Friday night, September 26th at midnight.  Then, send me the link to your post showing me your questions and answers.

WINNER:   Everyone who participates, either on their blog (as long as you send me the link) or in the comments will be entered into Random.Org after Midnight on September 26th.

PRIZE:  The winner will choose from one of the following:

1.  a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate

OR

2.  a copy of The Case Against Homework by Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish

OR

3.  a copy of The White Trash Mom’s Handbook by Michelle Lamar and Molly Wendland.

Here are the following questions, remember that Survivor kicks off its 17th season tomorrow night with a 2 hour premier.  So, here goes…
