FREE GIVEAWAY! Yes, totally, 100%, amazingly, freakin' FREE!



 I am in the Giveaway Kind of mood today.  Don't know why...don't really care.  But, I am, so lucky you!  I am going to give away some of my favorite things lately!  First of all, a thermal lunch tote from thirty-one.  (Ahem...all of these items are brand new by the way and not used...just in case you were wondering!)  Anyways, attached the the tote is a hair clip I made...but it looks super cute on the tote so if I were you, I would leave it on the tote!  Some chap stick, of course that tastes like Peeps, some new Extra Sherbet flavored gum....which I am chewing on right now...sugarfree and super yummy, 2 hand sanitizers from bath and body works...we go through one bottle in a sitting....go away yucky icky flu germs, a scentsy Watermelon Patch scent pack....YUMMY smelling and reminds me of warmer weather, and a new Fit and Active Strawberry Lemonade drink from Aldi.  Yup, Aldi.  Again...super yummy and reminds me of warmer days!  That's it....nothing too fancy....nothing to glamorous, but don't complain...it's free...if you win!

      On a quick side note.....just a question....you need to answer this as your entry to the giveaway.  If you own a home or have to shovel a sidewalk at all....what do you do?  Our brand new neighbors moved in and he made sure to only snow blow up to "his" sidewalk property line.  Not an inch further.  Do you or would you just snow blow the rest of the 15 feet or so to the next driveway?  Do you go only up to your "sidewalk" line?"  Or do you not even snow blow or shovel at all :)  I know what we would do, but I was just curious to see what other people would do.  So....to enter the giveaway for the free goodies....leave a comment on here ( which I know is difficult to do for some reason....I am working on a new blog), leave a comment on my Facebook page, or send me an email.  Even if you don't know me....and you are a secret blog follower of mine and you just don't want  me to know...I would LOVE for you to leave me a comment!  ( I know you are out there....I can see how many people read my blog...and I am sorry, I just don't have that many friends!)  If none of those options work and you know someone that knows me...they can enter for you as well.  Just have them leave a comment for you on my Facebook page or better yet, request to be my friend!


 Today I am thankful for the snow.....really I am.....I mean, really......I LOVE wet snow clothes....I LOVE getting a ton of kids ready to go out and then come back in and then go back out and then back in to use the bathroom to go back out to come back in and demand , I mean politely ask, for hot chocolate with extra marshmallows!  I LOVE having wet snow puddles all over my floor that I step on with my socks and then can't get to change them for another hour when they are just dry by then.  I LOVE having to scrape off the party bus in the freezing cold while slipping down our slanted driveway.  Yup....I sure do LOVE snow!
 Today I am thankful for Gavin's love of the IPAD.  He puked this week...and now he has a head cold.  The only thing I could bribe him with to make, I mean have, him stay inside and out of the snow was to give him my IPAD to play.  I know.....very active and healthy....but he coughs when he does any physical activities.  So, thank you Steve Jobs, for the IPAD.
 I am thankful for Lanie....who has been screaming and crying for the past half hour.....
 I am thankful for Elmo who can always seem to calm Lanie down....but just not right now.
And I am thankful for little boys who fall asleep in their carseats and can sleep through their bigger sister screaming and crying!

I am sure I could find a lot more to be thankful for....but I MUST attend to my screaming child!

If you need to email me your entry our email is: wilkefamilyemail@gmail.com or you can friend me on Facebook to get my blog updates as well...my name is Susan Axtman Wilke.....I think.....I am not sure.  I promise I am working on a new blog...that will be much easier to leave comments on....I think!  Have a great rest of the night!  I am sure as heck gonna try...screaming kids, wet snow clothes, and puddles on my floor and all!

I will post the winner on Sunday night!  Random drawing again...no favoritism....Promise!

  1. I would snowblow the extra 15 feet. By the way, I like your blog and you are funny! It would be a good show on t.v. Susan & Dan plus seven.

  2. We would definitely do the extra shoveling or snowblowing. When we lived in Chicago we always helped the neighbors because we knew that they would help us in return.

  3. Hi Super Mom! As a "single mom" half the time... I was up at 5:30 this morning so I could get our driveway and sidewalks cleared, got the kids up, fed, got myself showered and ready for work, packed the car, got everyone out the door and to school on time, and then... ahhhh - a nice quiet ride out to Fort Atkinson to work. I know I'm preaching to the choir (times 7)... just had to get that off my chest, as my husband is (no lie, I can't make this up) out in the Caribbean for work today!!!! Yeesh. To answer your question: Even in my haste, I WOULD have gladly cleared my neighbor's sidewalk this morning, had he not already done it last night. That's what good neighbors (heck, good HUMANS) do!! ESPECIALLY with a snowblower! (We finally broke down and bought one last year). In fact, I find snowblowing fun (could be the flashbacks of shoveling snow at eye-level all those years)! It's one of those OCD activities I enjoy - like mowing beautiful, straight rows in the grass. (Ha!)
    I just love reading your blogs. I feel like I can really relate to your adventures (even tho on a much smaller scale). Thanks for being such an inspiration (and the laughs)!!

  4. I don't do anything to snow. It is 65 and sunny right now. If you moved here, you wouldn't have to worry about your neighbors snow removal.
