I realized the other day that I have won some great things through blogging giveaways in the past several months, and I haven’t been very good about acknowledging them or thanking anyone. There are a lot of awesome giveaways out there – and most of them are very easy to find and enter. Two great sites where you can find lists of current giveaways going on are PRIZEY and Prizeatron, and there are several blogs that do daily or weekly contest listing as well – An Island Review, and Laura Williams’ Musings are a couple of them, and of course, here at Mom of 3 Girls.

Yes, you can win if you enter! You don’t win all of them – I enter a lot and still go weeks or months without winning. But I have won some really wonderful things and here are a sample of them:

1. From Jean at Working Momma 247 I won a box of Spa Sensials moisturizing gloves and booties. Thanks, Jean!

2. From the 5 Minutes for Mom Ultimate Blog Party, I won a $25 gift certificate to Fun On The Ark and was able to get Abby and Hannah each a great stuffed animal.

3. From Weary Parent I won a Zoobie Pet – such a cute, soft koala. This is one prize that I’m keeping for myself – the girls would just fight over it anyway. Yeah, that’s it.

4. From Amanda I won a Diaper Bag Wrangler – and haven’t carried a large diaper bag since. It’s so handy now that Becca’s older and all I really need to have on hand are a couple of diapers, wipes and a bib.

5. From Boston Mamas I won a copy of JumpStart FIRST GRADE, which we gave to Abby for her birthday last week. It’s perfect for her.

6. From Mama Loves Giveaways I won a $50 gift certificates to Hanes! And I was able to buy a dozen t-shirts for the girls to wear this summer. They’re really cute ones too, with sparkly designs on the fronts – like the one that Abby’s modeling here:

7. From Musings of a Housewife I won a pink Lands End diaper bag – it’s awesome for carrying extra clothes for the girls when we go away for the day, and I used it as an overnight bag for Becca’s stuff when we went to Mary’s in March.

8. I won a $30 Amazon gift card from the December Group Writing Project at MamaBlogga. I was able to buy the girls each a new Leapster game since they only each had one that they’d gotten for Christmas.

9. From The Moms Blogs I won a cozy set of Snowflake Flannel Pajamas from Pajamagram.com.

10-12. I won the first day of the Working Moms Against Guilt No-Guilt Holiday Giveaway back in December, which included a bunch of awesome prizes like a Muffle (cute, cozy pouch that’s currently housing my iPod), a Karen Neuburger “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” pajama gift set and an apron and toddler tote from One Little Monkey.

13. I won a set of 3 ImagiPLAY puzzles from Mamanista. We gave one of them to Becca for her birthday and the other two will go to Abby and Hannah.

Thank you to all of the blogs and the companies for such great giveaways! So now go check out the contest sites and enter some – you never know when you’ll win…
