Win a Necklace and More! 1K Giveaway: Day 3

This giveaway is now closed!  Congratulations to Amy and Christy, our winners! 

Today’s giveaway items have been causing a little bit of a buzz over at my Facebook page because of their awesomeness.

First, one reader will win the fabulous Getting It Together e-book by Kayse Pratt.

Meet Kayse

Meet Kayse

Kayse is the mom of a little pig-tailed princess and the wife of a conductor–as in music, not trains.  She is funny and honest, two traits I love to see in fellow bloggers.  When I read what she writes, I feel like she’s right there with me, not preaching, but encouraging.

Kayse is about to release her fist book because she is awesome and I’m not at all jealous (ahem), yet somehow, in the middle of all the writing and rewriting, she found time to give us this tremendous resource: Getting It Together: Your Guide to Setting Up a Home Organization System That Works.

Getting it Together

What I love about this system is that it is simple.  It’s user friendly.  And because it is, I don’t procrastinate doing it.  That means it works!  Even for a completely disorganized person like myself, I feel so much better just getting this printed off and getting started.  Having important information organized frees my brain to think about and do other things.

Like coffee.

And writing.

Maybe that’s how Kayse got her book deal!  Hmmm.

One more thing: Kayse’s book is super affordable, especially if you purchase it today or tomorrow because it’s on sale for 30% off!   Just enter code JANSPECIAL30 to get Getting It Together only $2.79.  That’s cheaper than a latte.

Mighty River
Our second prize today comes from The Mighty River Project.  This ministry seeks to change the problem of poverty in Uganda by training and employing mothers so they can care for their own children.  It is a mighty work!  But I love the fact that Erin and and Scott Littleton are willing to take the first steps toward big change.  You can help them by following their ministry on Facebook.  Also, consider purchasing items from their store the next time you need a gift!
“Like a river changes the landscape around it drop by drop,
inch by inch, little by little,
The Mighty River Project seeks to shape its community with small,
sustainable changes that will impact generations.”
Poke around their store and you will find beautiful handmade baskets and jewelry made by the artisans in their program.  The baskets are amazing and very reasonably priced, especially if you consider how much impact the purchase of one basket can make.

But let’s not forget about the necklaces! 
Bead necklace
The necklaces are all so pretty, it’s going to be hard for one reader to choose which one she wants for a prize!  The Mighty River Project has graciously donated a necklace choice to our random winner.  Which is your favorite?

1K Giveaway: Day 2

This giveaway is now closed!  Congratulations to Jen and G, the winners! 

It’s day two of our week-long giveaway, and I am proud to be offering two very special prizes.

First, I am pleased to introduce you to my bloggy friend Emily Cook.

Em and kids

Emily is the big kid in the middle

Emily is a mother of six who has captured my heart by her honesty, her real but messy love for Jesus, and her aptitude for finding beauty in heartache.  Her story has not been picture-perfect because it is not fiction.  It is truth.

One of Emily’s children has struggled with epilepsy.  She wrote about it in her book Weak and Loved: A Mother-Daughter Love Story.  I know some of you were able to get that as a free download when I shared the offer with you.  I know this because I have heard from you about that book.  I have heard how it moved you, how it touched you, and how thankful you were to get to know Emily.

“It is not the quantity of children,

but it is the blessed weight of any number of children,

that makes us what we are: mothers.”

–Emily Cook

When Emily asked if she could donate her book Tend to  Me: Devotions for Mothers I was honored and grateful.  To be able to give one of you rest and hope and truth, well, that is the kind of thing I love to do.  Her words are beautiful, encouraging, and true.  You will be blessed by Emily as I have been.

Our second prize today comes from a company I adore.  I have written about Hazelaid before, and I’m afraid I used such glowing terms that some readers thought I was making a profit.

So before I begin talking about them, let me be completely honest: I am not an affiliate for Hazelaid nor have I ever been!  I do not profit in any way from any sales made through my links.  None!  In fact, I began using their products long before I started my blog and actually purchased my first giveaway prize myself because I love their products so much.  This time around, Hazelaid graciously donated this prize but I have chosen not to become an affiliate because I feel it’s a conflict of interest in this case.

That being said, Hazelaid products have changed my life, pure and simple.  They are donating a $25 gift certificate so one of you can shop around and try their products for yourself!

Honey Amber

My family has been particularly impacted by the Baltic amber necklaces.  You can read my original testimonial here. I still remain almost completely pain-free after suffering years and years of joint pain and mysterious aching in my body.  I am still free from taking over-the-counter medications in order to deal with this pain.  Coming from a girl who used to pop Advil four at a time, this is remarkable.

This natural pain relief makes amber perfect for teething babies, elderly patients and everyone in between.  It becomes more and more effective with time, I have noticed, to the point that I do not have to wear my necklace every day.  I kept it on 24/7 for a few months because I was afraid to take it off!  I didn’t want the “magic” to end!  Now, I wear it at night or whenever I think about it and have continued to enjoy the benefits of the amber even though it’s not in contact with my skin all the time.

But amber is not all Hazelaid has to offer.  Their hazelwood jewelry is remarkable as well.

In fact, one of my first purchases from Hazelaid was a hazelwood bracelet.  I have eczema that flairs up on my hands in the winter.  I wore the bracelet on my left wrist, and within one day, the bumps on my left hand were about 50% better than the bumps on my right.  Within a few days, they were gone completely.  I have not found any lotions or treatments for his eczema that work so well–and it’s completely natural!  No steroids, no artificial ingredients, just wood.

One reader will win the $25 gift certificate and earn the burden of trying to decide which product to choose!  Good luck with that!  As a bonus, Hazelaid is offering a 10% off code to all Five in Tow readers.  Simply enter fiveintow10 at checkout.  This code NEVER expires, so hang on to it for future orders!

1K Giveaway: Day 1

This giveaway is now closed!  Thanks for participating.

 

As promised, today begins our week-long celebration here at Five in Tow.  We recently reached over 1,000 Facebook fans and I thought we’d celebrate your loyal readership by giving you lots of great stuff!   You can read the full schedule here.

Today’s giveaway prizes were donated by two of my blogging buddies from my West Coast Christian Bloggers group.  These gals are the best!

First up, enter to win this fun and fabulous e-kit from Jason and Jami Balmet! 

E-kit

Jason and Jami minister over at A Biblical Marriage.  They are a young married couple and recent parents of baby boy twins, Micah and Malachi.  You know I have a soft spot for little boy twins named Micah (okay, so Malachi is pretty cute too).  Somehow, after giving birth to these sweet boys, Jami managed to finish this e-kit, which is amazing because after my twins were born, I sometimes managed to get dressed.  Sometimes.

Jami has a heart for glorifying God in marriage and home.  It comes through in everything she writes at A Biblical Marriage and at her second blog, Young Wife’s Guide to Gospel-Centered Homemaking.

Jami-Leigh3

Meet Jami

Jason and Jami have done a great job creating clever printables for 7 romantic encounters with your spouse.  This kit is perfect for married couples of any age.  It would also make a great bridal shower or Valentine’s Day gift!  Treat yourself, and your marriage, to something better than the standard flowers and chocolates.  Treat your marriage to lasting love!

Next up…

Emily Gardner

Meet Emily

Speaking of newlyweds, our second prize comes from Emily Gardner of the blog Primitive Roads.  Emily is a California native who recently transplanted to Idaho.  Her blog is full of grace, practical (and yummy!) ideas for making a home special, and more wisdom than she should be allowed to have in her young married life.  Currently, Emily is participating in a series entitled, How to Maintain a High-Maintenance Marriage.  Wow.  She also writes over at Kindred Grace.

Emily has donated two Rachel Ray cookbooks (probably because she knows that one way to maintain a high-maintenance marriage is to cook yummy food).  This set includes Just in Time! and Express Lane Meals.
