As many of you know already, I love chocolate. However, I love chocolate even better when it is helping out a create cause. Ferrero (a chocolate company) and Share Our Strength (a hunger relief organization) have teamed together for the second year to do good. As of right now, Ferrero has donated $150,000 to Share Our Strength and that want you to help them donate more. All you need to do is go to the Share Something Sweet website and send an ecard to any of your friends and/or family. They will donate an additional $1 per e-card sent up to $10,000. Also, for every person who joing the Ferrero Facebook page, they will donate another $1 (up to $1,000).
Now, the Share Something Sweet site is actually pretty cool. They have event news, product offers, and even a chocolate quiz (which I highly recommend that you take). I found out I had a Ferrero Rocher® Chocolates Personality.
Let’s help fight childhood hunger and send a card to a loved one! I know I am.

If you need a gift for all the cat lovers in your life, Purry Logic is it! This books is all about cats. Now, I personally am not the cat lover in this house. However, I have two little ones who absolutely adore cats. Needless to say, they loved this book. The book is well illustrated with different kinds of cats on each page. Each cat is doing its own thing and has its own saying next to it like “what canary?” and “I know you are happy to see me . . . just open the can”. Even a non-cat lover enjoyed this book and laughed at a lot of the sayings. They definitely got a cat’s personality down to a tee. This works great in my house because the book is short and holds both of my kids attention.

All the moms out there can tell you what it is like to wear jewelry and have little ones who are constantly trying to chew on it or stick it in their mouths. Often times, it is more frustrating than its worth, so we don’t wear jewelry at all. I find that Will, even at 17 months, still tries to put my necklaces in his mouth. This is where Teething Bling come in for the rescue. Teething Bling was made for children to handle and chew. It is made out of the same material that teething rings are made from! It is lead free, dishwasher safe, and federally approved. You can get a key chain, a bangle, and/or a necklace (and you can buy these all separately or as a gift pack). These are all things us moms use regularly. Now, we get to be stylish using them which has to be my favorite part. There are several different colors and patterns you can choose from, so you can find something that really matches you and your personality (and your clothes too). Kids like this just as much as moms do. This is definitely a gift a new mom would enjoy for either her baby shower or a Christmas gift!

Huru Humis will be one of the big gifts that everyone is going to want for Christmas this year. They are made for children ten and up. However, my 4 year old and 1 year old love them too. Each Huru Humi has its own name and distinct personality. Their interests range from sports to journalism. We have two of them, and I swear I have teenagers living in my house now. If I don’t check, Madison has been sneaking them into her bed with her at night too.
The reason I like these is that they interact with you. You are able to ask them questions, and they actually will respond to you. The other cool thing is that if you put two Huru Humis next to one another, they start talking to one another! They will have a whole conversation with or without you. These definitely teach your kids many social skills. It shows them how to have a conversation, not to interrupt, and have differing opinions. They are fairly easy to use, so kids of all ages will be able to use them. If you quite talking to them, they even try to get your attention. Another feature that my kids love is that their hair and outfits are interchangable too.
I have already seen commercials for these on, I think, Nick Jr or one of those kid stations, so you know this is going to be big. Each Huru Humi costs $29.99 and can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Kmart and Toys R Us. However, if you do not want to wait to get one of these, I was able to get not 1, not 2, but 3 of these to giveaway to my lucky readers. Now, two will be given away randomly. The third one will be randomly given away among the people who make a Huru Humi video.
Each one of these things will give you one entry:
1. Leave a comment on this post. I want to know why you want this.
2. Twitter about this contest. Please leave me your username so I can verify.
3. Stumble this post. If you don’t know what Stumble Upon is, please read Lori’s post at Blogging Cents. She explains it extremely well.
4. Add this post to other social media sites like Digg, Kirtsy, Blogging Zoom, Reddit, Propeller, Etc.
For 5 additional entries,
1. Blog about this on your blog. Please give me the URL, so I can verify.
2. Add this to any forums you belong too. Please give me the URL, so I can verify.
3. Subscribe to this blog using either my email or RSS feed
4. Add my badge to your sidebar:

For ten more entries,
1. Make a Huru Humi Cartoon here. Publish your video and add it to your social profile and link to it in a comment.
Good luck! This contest will end Oct. 22, 2008 at 8:00 PM CST and is for both US and Canadian residents.
