That's right, we are having our first ever Nothing But An Apron giveaway this month, in honor of Mother's Day! Because no one knows cooking and cleaning better than Mom, and Mom also knows better than anyone the need for a super-easy way to spend the morning relaxing as a family, and she also definitely knows when it's time for a nice hot relaxing bath.
So Lizzie and I are giving up the goods. She is donating a lovely gift basket of her handmade, all-natural bath bombs, body butters, and other luciousness; I am donating three flavors of my all-natural, organic, gluten-free pancake/waffle mix, and I'll even throw in the real maple syrup to boot. Believe me, you want in on this draw!
To enter, leave a comment on this post. Each comment will get you one entry in our draw, to be done on Mother's Day by Random.org. But you get DOUBLE points - two points per comment - when you tell us something you learned from a mom. Doesn't have to be your mom, just somebody's mom, and it doesn't necessarily have to be housekeeping-related.
Share this around, encourage your friends to enter (maybe they'll share the goodies with you if they win!), and spread the word! And good luck!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great giveaway, but I'm not sure that you want to have your readers submit endless comments simply to increase their chances of winning. I think that you'll get a lot of superfluous comments. You could get a lot of comments from one single person who really wants to win!
Most giveaways allow you to comment once for one entry. Sometimes there are other ways to get bonus entries, but usually the number of entries per person is limited to some amount.
That's what I'd do if I were you (restrict the # of entries per person). Just a suggestion ... and thanks for the giveaway!
great giveaway, please count me in.
ReplyDeleteI learnt so much from my mum, most of all I learnt compassion and nurturing and I think that makes me the mum I am today.
my mum always told me
ReplyDelete"if in doubt..........don't"
it has helped me MANY times!
I learned that only you and your hard work can get you anywhere.

One of the best things my mom ever told me is that nobody can make you feel bad about yourself without your consent! It's a great piece of advice to take to heart.

ReplyDeleteMy mother taught me that when I wanted to get lint off my clothes to put them in the freezer first and then use a razor. Works like a charm! She's very practical, my mother.
My mom taught me that the only way to make my dreams reality is to make them so.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway...WANT!!!!
ReplyDeletewoohoooo I hope I win!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom taught me so many things, its hard to narrow it down. But the most important thing she taught me was to try and be humble even in the most dire situations, because everything will work itself out eventually.
The most important thing I learned from my mom was to be myself--however crazy as that may be.
ReplyDeleteSomething I learned from my mother-in-law is to always find something to enjoy in what you're doing. Appreciate the good things in life and be positive.

My grandma taught me that being smart is better than being beautiful (though if you can do both, then go for it)!
