Go Ahead...Play with Your Food

As you all know, I enter a lot of giveaways and as it goes - "Many will enter, few will win...". Well, luck has been on my side as I won my daughter a Melissa & Doug Wooden Fruit Cutting Set from Gifted Imaginations through Savvy Sassy Moms (two GREAT sites!!!). Find them on Twitter here: @GiftedImagStore and @savvysassymoms - be sure to check them out as they run some really fabulous giveaways and have some really great content.

It all happened shortly after I joined Twitter which wasn't too long ago *blush* (hey I still haven't joined FB...yet...there's only so many hours in a day to get everything done). Anyway, I digress. So, I joined Twitter and entered a giveaway by tweeting their contest info...a few days later, I see my name pop up after the @ sign that I've won - to DM them my mailing address. WHAT?!? Is this some joke? No. It's real. After jumping up and down wildly, I finally figured out what I was supposed to do, send her my mailing address and a few days later, this wonderful toy arrived at our house to an ecstatic three year old.

Seriously, this toy is such a great teaching tool and the pieces are attached together with Velcro, so when you cut it, it crunches and sounds like you're cutting a piece of fruit. Very.cool.

Thank you Gifted Imaginations and Savvy Sassy Moms - you made our...day/week/month!!! Now, if I can only get some of that luck spread to finding a job for the hubs or for me...
