Win $100 from Blogher and MasterCard MarketPlace
BlogHer invited 20 bloggers to check out the Marketplace and share their favorite deals. Check out their posts and see how you can enter for a chance to win one of 20 $100 MasterCard gift cards from BlogHer! ends 12/31
A Boy and A Girl. "I signed up for MasterCard MarketPlace a few weeks ago--it takes about twenty seconds depending on how fast you can type your name, email address, and zipcode."
No Big Dill. "If you are an orange haggler, or the type of person who goes to the grocery store not only with manufacturer coupons, but with your store coupons alphabetized, plus goes during sales and actually gets paid to buy groceries [you know who you are ;)] this is your site."
Swistle. "Overall, it looks like a good "deal center" for keeping track of all the places you like to shop and all the deals they have---and a good way to get EXTRA deals while you're at it."
Loralee's Looney Tunes. "I have fallen IN LOVE with online shopping. There is no better place PERIOD
to find the best bang for your buck. So, I was very excited when BlogHer offered me the opportunity to check out MasterCard MarketPlace."
FiddleDeeDee. "I’m more of a cyber-Monday type of gal. The thrill of the hunt for me can occur behind the comfort of my keyboard, at a reasonable hour, while wearing my bunny slippers."
Lil Bit Funky. "SO many great deals all around...on toys and housewares and clothes...I got lost in all the bargains for almost an hour. Some of the deals are so great that I am seriously tempted to keep on adding to my Christmas shopping list..."
Storing up Treasures. "It's that time of year again. The time when we are all rushing around trying to get our Christmas shopping done. I wanted to tell you about an awesome site that will make shopping easier and save you loads of money too."
Super Healthy Kids. "With so many choices for shopping online, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. However, you can get many of these great deals, without browsing the entire web."
Vanilla Joy. "I did a little better this year at doing some of my Christmas shopping throughout the year, but I still have some last minute gifts to buy. Instead of paying through the nose out of necessity, I checked out MasterCard MarketPlace where I found lots of deals in one quick place."
I am Lotus aka Sarcastic Mom. "Looking for amazing deals this holiday season that are easy to take advantage of online? Me too!"
Three Kid Circus. "I'm not always the savviest shopper, when it comes to finding great deals. I'm also easily irritated by bargain-hunting crowds and the Extreme Holiday Shopping mentality."
Suburban Turmoil. "Who doesn't love a bargain? Well, I've got a way you can get Black Friday-like deals at deep discounts. The secret is MasterCard MarketPlace, a site that will give you great discounts on some of your favorite retailers!"
Mommy Bytes. "It is a one-stop place to get up to 50% off on top brands and stores. Brands you and I trust like Barnes & Noble, Children's Place, Home Depot, Scholastic Store or even upscale stores such as Brookstone, Saks and Sephora."
BooMama. "I still very much like to get the best possible deal when I’m buying gifts. I scour the internet, look at newspaper circulars, clip store coupons – it just makes good sense to do due diligence when it comes to getting the very best price."
I am Bossy. "Here’s the deal: their website divides the world of goods into categories like Apparel, Travel, Kids & Babies – and listed in these categories are a wide range of stores which have partnered with MasterCard MarketPlace to offer unique deals to those who sign up."
Southern Hospitality. "There’s a new online shopping opportunity that I’d love to share with you."
Welcome to Quadville. "I LOVE a good deal. But, now, I love a good deal online even more! This year my husband laughed at me because, I kinda turned holiday shopping into a game! "Where can I find the best codes?" "I'm not paying full prices for THAT, I know I can find it on sale." Seriously, if online shopping were a competitive sport, I just MAY have won the gold this year."
Big Mama. "I believe I have mentioned several times that I have never been the kind of person that gets up at the crack of dawn to hit the Black Friday sales. Not that there is anything wrong with that type of person, I’m sure they are all lovely people. It’s just not for me for several reasons."
It's Almost Naptime. "I have to say, I was a little late to the shop-online party. This Christmas is the first Christmas that I have bought about 80% of the kids' Christmas gifts online. Choose. Click. Shipped straight to my DOOR. No crowds, no traffic, and it can all be done at two in the morning."
Whatever. "do you like getting a great deal? i love discounts! i light up when i see 50% off."

Emily from Joyful Abode "As you know, my husband is in the Navy and we have moved a lot. A LOT. And we’re moving again in January (not far, just to base, but still…), this move will be our 5th move in 4 years."
Rebecca from Roots & Wings "I want to discuss why I feel it is important for me to be putting my best foot forward, or in this case it is my best face forward! ;) One reason I have already mentioned and that is that I still am young. So I need to start taking care of my skin while I can still do things to keep it as healthy as I can. "
Gen from Welcome to Quadville! "Well, at least I'm not going through the change of life with my girls are going through puberty! However, I am going through a mid life crisis and decided to chop off 12 inches of my hair! Yep, for reals! Not only am I trying to heal my skin (see last 3 posts)... I'm also changing it all up. Holy hormones batman!"
Tara from Feels Like Home "I left something out of that story. See the lines across my and Joe’s foreheads? You may notice that Grace and the new baby (tiny though she is) do not have those same lines. They’re wrinkles. Grace told me so."
Morgan from The 818 "It’s surreal, isn’t it? You’re a teenager, just starting to wear makeup, and people are trying to sell you zit zapper, and then you turn around and your parents cleaning lady is convincing you to buy anti-aging cream out of a catalogue because you look “consado“."
Angie from Eclectic Recipes "In my last post for Olay, I shared with you that I have had a lifelong battle with Acne."
Jenna from Jenna's Journey "So, there are days when I really can’t do it. I just don’t have the energy with a newborn to put my full face of makeup on and do my hair. There are, however some staples that I do no matter what. I’m pretty confident that I could be on my deathbed and there would be things that I do makeup wise that just make me feel better about myself."
Lindsay from The Cottage Home "For the last 3-4 weeks, I have been focusing on spending a little more time on me. Being the mom of two little ones (16 months) and (2.5 years), staying at home and maintaining our home, running my own children’s clothing business and blogging doesn’t leave me a whole lot of time for me. But I think it’s important. Isn’t it true that when we look good, we feel good? I think so."
Janet from Slice of Pink "For three years, I lived the leisurely life of a law student. Wait, let me clarify that. The life of a law student is not exactly what you would describe as leisurely, at least in the way sunning on a beach is leisurely or drinking cocoa is a mountain cabin is leisurely."
Leah from A Girl and a Boy "When I finally came to terms with the fact that I wasn't going to get married (or at least have the wedding I'd hoped to have) before adding a baby to the mix, my make-the-best-of-it brain got right to work thinking of all the ways in which putting the baby carriage before the marriage was, like, wicked awesome and super way better, totally, for sure!"
Blogger Slynnro "While there are plenty of things I am trying to stave off about getting older, there are certain things I'm trying to embrace. I am starting to get to the stage where I find things are in fact inappropriate for me to wear (although perhaps I should stop shopping at Forever 21 and I wouldn't have this problem)."
Stephanie from Totally Together Journal "Today is the first day of Winter Break, and I'm so happy to have the kids home with me. I hate how much time they're away during a typical school day. Today we're staying in pajamas, watching a Santa Claus(e) movie marathon, and doing puzzles. It'll be lovely."
Kelly from Kelly's Korner "Pretty much everything in my body is affected when I’m pregnant. My hair gets thicker and grows so much faster. My face fills out. My feet even get bigger. And I won’t even start on the internal things like morning sickness and heartburn. ."
Megan from In This Wonderful Life "So, as I've been on this journey to adjusting to my post pregnancy skin, I've determined what's most important. Moisturizer is what my face needs."
Lisa from Milehimama "I am following the Brewer diet for this pregnancy, which means eating a ton of protein. That’s hard enough, but the vitamins and supplements are even worse. I have a history of pregnancy induced hypertension and gestational diabetes, which I’ve always been able to control through diet, exercise, and supplements."

Win $200 Visa gift card: Club Mum and BlogHer
Club Mum and BlogHer are pleased to present the Veggie Smugglers sweepstakes! We’re partnering to help moms with a problem we’re all too familiar with – getting kids to eat their veggies. But www.ClubMum.net is about more than just veggies, it’s about getting the good stuff into kids – food, community service, education… you know the drill! Check out the blogs below and enter for your chance to win 1 of 8 Visa gift cards!
Susie J. "Help! We need moms with advice to share on picky eaters! With four boys in the house, there’s always one who is going through a picky eater phase."
What's for Lunch at our House. "I often get comments on this blog regarding F&B and the choices they make regarding food. Thankfully, it’s usually good ones, either complimenting them when they are making the choices or asking how exactly we got them to that point."
Meanest Momma. "So… while I am far from perfect — especially in the realm of eating healthy – here are a few of my tips for getting kids to eat healthier"
Owlhaven. "As a kid I remember feeling disdainful of the kids whose mothers cut the crusts off their sandwiches. My mom would never let me waste 20% of my bread, and I didn’t really understand what was so bad about a bread crust anyway."
Boomama. "Once our little guy started eating table foods, one of the things that concerned me the most was whether or not he was going to be a picky eater. Since I was raised in a you-eat-what-you’re-served household, I was bound and determined to do the same."
Joy Unexpected. "Getting kids to do things that are good for them always seem to be a struggle-- brushing their teeth, going to be at a decent time, doing their homework, eating their vegetables."
Big Mama. "One of the things I’ve discovered as a mom is that we all worry about what our kids eat. We all want them to be healthy and strong and to love their veggies, but that isn’t always a real world scenario."
The Simmons Family. "My kids love food! Kamryn has always been a picky eater and if allowed, would live on chips and refried beans. When she was a toddler, she only ate beans, peanut butter and chicken nuggets. "
This sweepstakes runs from December 10, 2010 to December 23, 2010

Win $100 from Total Effects and Blogher
Every week, the bloggers below will be sharing how they deal with their life's stresses and their beauty routine secrets. They'll also be trying out the new Olay Total Effects Cooling Hydration. Learn their beauty secrets and enter to win $100 from each blogger every week! Ends 12/20
Emily from Joyful Abode "Now that I’m a mother, my life is very different. And I love it. Here are just a few things that are different and wonderful."
Rebecca from Roots & Wings "I feel as though my life has run away, with me barely holding on to it! I moved into my new home last year, I am in my last year of getting my degree to be a teacher, and the years seem to just be going by faster and faster."
Gen from Welcome to Quadville! Battling a lifetime in the sun, I like Olay because it gives me a second chance. I feel like I'm doing my skin a favor. I'm also making smarter choices in my life. I eat well, drink TONS of water, and exercise daily. I take care of my skin and my children's skin (head to toe)."
Tara from Feels Like Home "I want to set a better example for my girls. I don’t want them to learn that mothers always come last. I want them to learn that mothers have needs, too, and that taking care of yourself is as important as taking care of others."
Morgan from The 818 "I mean, after marriage and babies, botox is totally the next thing we have to look forward to as a sign that we’re entering a new dimension of life, right? But is botox really something people my age are doing already?"
Angie from Eclectic Recipes "Since my birthday, those fine lines around my eyes seem to be more visible. That eye cream that I first started buying when I was 20, and have been using sporadically ever since, needs to become a daily routine now."
Jenna from Jenna's Journey "I had my bag packed and everything ready to go, and if you couldn’t guess I am indeed one of those girls who takes makeup to the hospital. And a hair dryer. And my curling iron. Oh, and hairspray."
Lindsay from The Cottage Home "For the last three years, since I have been either pregnant or nursing, I feel like my wardrobe has been all over the place. I’ve got maternity clothes, just had a baby post-pregnancy clothes, sort of just had a baby post pregnancy clothes, and my “I still feel like I need to lose 5-10lbs after having a baby” clothes (which is where I currently stand)."
Janet from Slice of Pink "The simplicity is helping. My morning routine is faster, more streamlined. I don't have to dig through a drawer of old makeup to find an eyeliner. I also notice my skin looks better--I'm using a limited number of products and have plenty of time for the basics, including moisturizing my face every morning."
Leah from A Girl and a Boy "We worry about the effect environmental factors have on our skin--UV rays, dry air, pollution--but we don't always think about the ways in which our lifestyles are also impacting how we look. What part of your lifestyle has the biggest influence on your skin?"
Blogger Slynnro "As I've discussed here before, I'm in something of a transitional phase in a variety of ways during my life. I've turned 30, I've recently moved in what I consider to me my first real grown up place, some big decisions about where I'm going with my career and personal life will have to be made in the next few years."
Stephanie from Totally Together Journal "This is the third week that I’ve been using the Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Anti Aging Moisturizer. I feel pretty good! I’m happy with the way my skin looks and my friend Georgia, NO LIE, said I looked really healthy yesterday."
Kelly from Kelly's Korner "I’ve never had great skin. In college I went through a horrible time period where I had continuous, awful breakouts. I think it was a combination of stress, hormones, and unhealthy eating. Ever since that time, I’ve been very self conscious of how my skin looks and very aware of good skin on other people. It’s something that I notice right off about a person and probably the thing I’m most likely to envy."
Megan from In This Wonderful Life "Evidently, you are never too young to get wrinkles. I think the ones around the eyes are the ones that really do a number on you. Well, at least me. I don't use waterproof mascara or eyeliner, but yet I always have a hard time getting my eye makeup off!"
Lisa from Milehimama "Stress that isn’t being kind to my throat (The yelling! The growling!) or my skin(hello, pregnancy “glow”. Just like when I was 13. Great.)"
Emily from Joyful Abode "Now that I’m a mother, my life is very different. And I love it. Here are just a few things that are different and wonderful."

"When my husband and I got married, I was the queen of stressing out over Christmas parties. Our first Christmas together I decided that I was going to throw a party for his co-workers, and I promise you that I cooked for about six days." BooMama.
"This is an annual event that marks the official start of the Christmas season in our neighborhood. Mr. Chris is well known for his extravagant Christmas decorations. Our quiet little street becomes a major thorough-fare during the holidays, as people from far and wide come to see his house. And we have front row seats every year." FiddleDeeDee.
"My daughter was born premature on December 29, 1998. She weighed just 2.5 pounds and because she was so fragile, I wasn't able to hold her in my arms until she was off her respirator two days later. It was New Year's Eve. When I held her that afternoon, I knew the holiday would forever be linked with an amazing memory of cradling my baby for the first time." Momo's Fali.
"While having breakfast this past Sunday, I quickly realized how soon Thanksgiving is coming. Why would I think of Thanksgiving over breakfast you ask? Instead of Thanksgiving dinner, I host Thanksgiving breakfast/brunch at my house! And just putting together a breakfast to feed the seven people in my home right now is no small task." Three Duncan Boys.
"We don’t get to have a big Hanukkah shindig every year because we are an interfaith Jewish family surrounded by agnostics and Christians who tend to be all about Christmas. This is understandable. If you haven’t grown up with a Hanukkah tradition (or, like me, had a smallish Hanukkah tradition) it’s easy to shuttle that holiday aside." This Woman's Work.
"This time of the year is my most favorite time of the year. The season of Thanksgiving that runs into Christmas and the New Year fills me joy and deep sense of need to pass on traditions to my children." Home Grown.
"The holidays are upon us. If you're like me, that means your mind is flooded with memories of past Christmases. Something about Christmas brings out the nostalgia in me." Six in the City.
"Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have come to appreciate the timing of American Thanksgiving. Landing mere weeks before Christmas, Thanksgiving is the window into the joy, chaos and merriment of the holiday season. With a full day of cooking and eating and three days of quiet family time, Thanksgiving has become one of my favorite holidays." Cookin' Canuck.
"Ten years ago Teacher and I inadvertently started a family tradition – on New Year’s Eve we invited my parents over for pizza and cards. The next year we invited Uncle Jon, Uncle Mike, Aunt Lainie, and their boys for pizza and wings." My Happy Crazy Life.
"Although we never stay up till midnight on New Years Eve, our family parties are the best! Lucky for us we are in Mountain Standard Time, so we can watch the ball drop at 10pm and pretend it’s midnight." Super Healthy Kids.
"Is your family big on holiday traditions? Mine is. And I am fond of many of them, really. Especially the ones we have on Thanksgiving. Christmas Eve is my number ONE favorite night of the year, but Thanksgiving is a close second. It has everything, really...family, fun, tradition and pumpkin pie." Loralee's Looney Tunes.
"Once upon a time, a family that was made up of Jews, Christians, Atheists and Agnostics created a new holiday of sorts and named it Chrismukah. And I can assure you, the Mintz/Martell/Boye/Resudek family was celebrating it far before Seth Cohen made the holiday a household name on The O.C." Cheaper than Therapy.

One of these bloggers said she likes funny so I wrote her a limerick:

Read about their mouth watering stuffing recipes for a chance to win one of five $500 Visa gift cards!
Melanie from Big Mama is a firm believer in cornbread dressing. Her favorite dressing recipe in the world came from her mother-in-law. "It’s part of the reason I married P since I was worried that I may never get the recipe!" Luckily, Melanie's sharing it with you...read on to find out the secret ingredients.
Tara from Feels Like Home is a little confused with the differences between stuffing and dressing. "We make something that we call stuffing, but we cook it in a baking dish in the oven. No turkey involved." Are you in the same gravy boat?
Deborah from Taste and Tell doesn't know what she'll contribute to the Thanksgiving feast this year. Her biggest delemma each holiday is creating something tried and true or something new? See how her two different dressing recipes favor out when put to the family taste test.
Angie from Eclectic Recipes grew up seeing the Great Stuffing Debate play out each year between her mother and father. "My Dad preferred the bird was stuffed because he said that was the more traditional thing to do. He was a strong believer in following traditions." Find out if Angie chose to keep stuffing according to father's family tradition or if she follows her mother's recipe for dressing.
Amanda from I Am Mommy deems herself "one lazy and un-organized cook," which is why she loves the basic dressing recipe she's serving this holiday. Amanda's also sharing her secret go-to gravy recipe and it's "infused with the most succulent yet subtle bacon flavor!"

Win $100 Visa from Ragu and Blogher
Check out the ten posts below to see what bloggers and their families think when they compare the old Ragú® to the new for ten chances to win a $100 Visa gift card!
320 Sycamore. "This recipe is what we would call a six-er. Meaning, 6 out of the 7 of us love it. Anything above a fiver in this family is a major victory for me."
Pink Vanilla Cupcakes. "If you are like me (and I suspect you are!) you try hard to make sure your children are eating enough fruits and vegetables in their diet. I struggle with eating enough nutritious foods in my own diet and trying to make sure my girls eat fruits and vegetables is a top priority."
Taste like Crazy. "People have suggested I “sneak” veggies into sauces and substitute vegetables for meat but my kids are a suspicious bunch and they can smell a stealthy vegetable a mile away."
Buns in my Oven. "I won’t lie, I rarely cook a dinner that takes more than an hour or so of hands on time. My favorite meals are quick, healthy, and simple. I spend most of my time in the kitchen baking, so when it’s time for dinner I’d rather just get something yummy on the table and call it a day."
Swistle. "Which makes it pretty much the easiest recipe ever if you don't include ordering pizza"
Cookin' Canuck. "Over the years, I have come up with a few tricks to help us avoid the fast food trap. It is our hope that, through healthy food and plenty of family time, we can raise confident, healthy, and happy children."
Bentolunch-What's for Lunch at our House. "We actually are pretty much exclusive users of the Ragu Traditional Pasta sauce. I don't make my own sauce, that's much more work than I like to do in the kitchen and we've always loved the flavor."
Picky Palate. "The dinner was a huge success and it literally took minutes to prepare. I love pulling out quick and simple recipes during the busy school week and that is exactly what Ragu helps us with."
BooMama. "After I became a mama, however, I started looking for shortcuts in the kitchen. Making my own spaghetti sauce wasn’t really high on the list anymore, and I’ll never forget the first time I made a spinach and spaghetti casserole with the sauce from a jar. IT WAS A REVELATION. It was simple and delicious and fast, and if you’ve ever tried to cook a meal while keeping one eye on a toddler, you know that fast cooking can be your friend. I was hooked."
Owlhaven. "I’m always jealous of the thick rich consistency of store bought sauce. I’d have to cook my sauce down for hours—or add a fair bit of tomato paste– to get it that thick."

Win $100 - Week 6
Join our BlogHer moms as they share their favorite meals in a bowl! Check out their posts to join the conversation and enter for your chance to win a $100 Visa gift card. Remember to check back every week for new topics and another chance to win!
Big Mama. "I believe there are few things more revolutionary than an entire meal that can be served in a bowl. Especially when it is something the entire family enjoys."
BooMama. "Now this may sound strange, but most of my favorite foods involve a bowl."
FiddleDeeDee. "As you might imagine, my mind immediately envisioned a large bowl of ice cream. But that really isn’t a meal. At least in most circles. I will admit though, that once upon a time I mixed up a batch of chocolate cake batter, and called it dinner."
A Familiar Path. "Food in a bowl makes me think of comfort. It brings to mind meals like soup, chicken and dumplings, chili, stew and macaroni and cheese. Simple, good and nourishing, but not necessarily easy. And I like easy."
Joyful Chaos. "Our more common ones include homemade chili, taco soup, white chili, cereal, salsa (it SO counts as a meal), and the kids’ favorite is chicken and rice. Super simple, warm, filling, and my kids ask for seconds. You do know what a big deal that is, right?"
Shell in your Pocket. "Great things can come in small packages! A few that come to mind are diamond earrings...oops...we are talking breakfast!"
SusieJ. "While cereal with milk is the perfect, ready-in-seconds go-to breakfast, this meal sometimes makes it rounds again as an after-school snack."
Swistle. "My favorite meal in a bowl is chicken-rice-egg-corn. It sounds icky and it looks icky, but it is SUPREME DELICIOUSNESS."
Stop, Drop and Blog. "All this talk about breakfast and cereal has made me think about the meals I love that come in a bowl."
Cookin' Canuck. "When the snow starts to fall, I yearn to fold myself into a blanket and wrap my hands around a hot bowl of soup."
My Beautiful Day. "Can I confess something to you? Maybe it’s a little quirky, and maybe it makes me just a little bit odd, but I just love almost any food that I can eat in a bowl! "
Mannland 5. "A meal in a bowl..does it get any better?"
The Frugal Girl. "These bowls are used for cereal on a very regular basis, but that’s not all we use them for. Soup, green salad, fruit salad, pasta salad, oatmeal, ice cream, and many other foods often fill our bowls."
The Burgh Baby. "Shhh. . . don't tell, but I'm totally a dork and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to have cereal for dinner."
Welcome to Quadville! "Many fun meals can be served up in a bowl. Anything from yogurt, cottage cheese and cereal, to home made mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, rice and veggies, etc. The yummy list goes on and on."
Secret Agent Josephine. "Oh bowly-bowl how I love thee. I like everything in a bowl! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert…it’s all good."
Deb, Mom of 3 Girls. "When it comes to filling up our dishwasher with dishes and silverware, I’ve noticed a strong trend in our family – namely that we go through a lot of bowls and spoons."
Suburban Turmoil. "Luckily for Kellogg's, I have to admit that my favorite meal in a bowl is...CEREAL!"
C. Beth Blog. "Has fall come to your area yet? It's starting to arrive here, with somemornings and evenings feeling positively chilly. And on a cold night, Ilove to sit down with a steaming bowl of soup, chock-full of veggies and meat and broth and pure yumminess. It warms me to the core!"
Busy Mom. "It seems like all I do at home is wash bowls. We have a large set of plain, glass bowls, and it's not unusual for every one of them to be in the dishwasher at any given time."
Everyday I Write the Book. "My favorite one-bowl meal is called orange chili chicken. I love it. It is so good. But it takes a really long time to make. My favorite simpleone-bowl meal is cereal. And that is what we are talking about today."
Cheaper than Therapy. "My tried and true favorite…cereal. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There really is never an inappropriate time for a bowl of delicious cerealy goodness."
Finding Bonggamom. "Snacks aside, we eat quite a few meals from bowls. How else can you have cereal and milk for breakfast? Or oatmeal? Or yogurt?"
Jenny on the Spot. "I took a poll and asked my kids and hubby what their favorite meal in a bowl is. Just as I expected, not one of them had the same answer. Welcome to my life."
Because I Said So. "I would say cookies, but I guess cookies aren't typically served in a bowl, huh?"
Big Mama. "I believe there are few things more revolutionary than an entire meal that can be served in a bowl. Especially when it is something the entire family enjoys."
