groove to this giveaway

Published by msanchezmasi at 1:54 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

I’ve been feeling the need to re-focus this blog back to you, mamas.  Sure, saving money is important, and can help fund time for yourself (pedicures, anyone??), not to mention keep you in house and home, but there’s more to life than clipping coupons. 

At least I hope there is.

This week, I’m giving away a $10 iTunes gift card.  Not familiar with iTunes?  It’s awesome.  You can buy songs or albums, then listen to them on your computer or load them onto your iPod.  

Here’s the deal:  you have to promise to only download music for yourself.  Nothing by the Wiggles, nothing involving the Disney Princesses.  Just music for yourself.  Promise?  Great. 

To enter, leave a comment telling me (and everyone else) what you’re going to do this week that’s just for you. My answer? Tonight is Girl’s Night Out with my mama friends, and Thursday I’m volunteering for one of the community groups I belong to. I need some adult time with my gal pals, and some time away from parenting in general, and I can’t wait.

Giveaway ends at midnight, Sunday, March 22.

    It’s my birthday on Friday - yeah. I plan on having lunch with a friend on Friday, and have pizza with a movie that evening. We’ll be going to my parents for dinner on Sunday and have my mom’s special cake for dessert.

    The weather has been so nice so tomorrow while the older two kids are at school I’m going to pack my little one in his hiking carrier and go for a nice walk to the coffee house to get some coffee and enjoy the scenery.

    At 8 months pregnant, I am putting up my swollen feet, putting on a book on tape and working on the hand quilting for a friend’s baby quilt!

  8. Whitneyon 11 Mar 2009 at 5:50 pm edit this

    I’m going to work out or maybe even take time to read my Bible. It’s amazing what little you get done with a 4 month old!

  9. Jen S.on 11 Mar 2009 at 6:03 pm edit this

    I ran to Walgreen’s last night-kid free! :) May not sound like much, but I got some great deals, and it was so nice no to hear ‘Mom, I want THIS!’

  10. jkellertnon 11 Mar 2009 at 6:06 pm edit this

    I’m going to fix a cup of herbal tea and get lost in a new book!

  11. Naomi W.on 11 Mar 2009 at 6:19 pm edit this

    I don’t have children but I’ve already taken TWO bubble baths this week for some relaxing time to myself! Love iTunes–thanks for doing this giveaway! I found you thru moneysavingmom :)

  17. Janet Carpenteron 11 Mar 2009 at 11:24 pm edit this

    I’m going to go to the movies. I love, love, love, movies and unfortunately my three year old will only sit through animated ones. So that is my fav thing to do “for myself”.

    It’ll be hard but I promise to only download music for myself!

    Thanks so much for a fantastic giveaway.

  18. Deniseon 12 Mar 2009 at 12:45 am edit this

    I am going to schedule the massage so that I can use the gift certificate I got for christmas

    I’m going to sit down in front of the TV and watch all the shows I recorded during the week

  20. Halifaxon 12 Mar 2009 at 7:40 am edit this

    I’d get some sleep - for myself of course. It sounds boring, but that’s what I need

  21. amyon 12 Mar 2009 at 8:45 am edit this

    I think I might take a bath and hope that no one is banging on the door the whole time lol. With 7 kids it is hard to find time. I could use the itunes card so maybe I could download some music to motivate me to workout.

  22. Angela Baileyon 12 Mar 2009 at 9:07 am edit this

    Just for me, I’m going to do some reading, Eclipse. Loving these books.

  23. Veronicaon 12 Mar 2009 at 9:38 am edit this

    I’m going to get out to play poker with my childhood neighborhood friends and leave the nursling home alone with daddy for the FIRST TIME since she was born 10 months ago!

  27. Jessicaon 12 Mar 2009 at 12:11 pm edit this

    I am taking off tomorrow morning AND on Saturday morning too…just to go to garage sales so I can browse & see what’s out there and have no children in tow!

  32. Dianeon 12 Mar 2009 at 9:26 pm edit this

    This weekend I am going to set aside time to finally read a book that has been sitting on my end table for about two months!

  33. Jeannieon 13 Mar 2009 at 7:53 am edit this

    I’m meeting a friend I haven’t seen in ages for coffee and then going to the gym. I’m actually more excited about the gym than the coffee! I can’t wait to be able to exercise as long as I want without anyone whining that they are bored, hungry or tired.
    Great giveaway, btw. I’m addicted to my ipod and itunes. Thanks!

  34. hofkenon 13 Mar 2009 at 2:30 pm edit this

    This is my birthday weekend - the big 5 oh!! I’m going to the big city - Phoenix - plan to see Watchmen in IMAX, lunch at El Torito and shopping at the Scottsdale Fashion Mall. Can’t wait. A day all-about-me!

  35. Julion 13 Mar 2009 at 10:53 pm edit this

    This week I will go to the gym at least three times and buy myself a goodie at bath and body works. (God Bless Spring Break!)

  36. Tamara B.on 15 Mar 2009 at 11:17 am edit this

    Believe it or not I am childless today. Both of my tweens are spending the night at their friends birthday parties. I haven’t had a break like this ever so I am enjoying the peace and quiet without having to listen to the bickering.

    I spent the whole weekend at a Women of Faith conference with my Mom. It was great, very uplifting, and the best part is I had all day Friday and Saturday away from everything!
    Thanks for a great giveaway!

    I’m a grandma to two little ones and of all the things I have been in my life, this title and resposibility has been, by far, the greatest of all my rewards! My grandchildren live close by and I get to see them often (which I dearly love!) My husband gave me an IPOD the other day as a gift for being a “great grandma” (as he calls me!). Being new to an IPOD and Itunes - I’m learning a great deal. This would be a great giveaway for me!….thanks!

  39. Ruth Annon 15 Mar 2009 at 8:51 pm edit this

    Just for me? That’s easy. Sunday afternoon nap time! Woo-hoo!

  40. Holly G.on 15 Mar 2009 at 11:55 pm edit this

    I am going out of town for the weekend to see a concert with my girlfriends from college.

  41. Stephanie Bruceon 16 Mar 2009 at 4:48 am edit this

    I would love to win thanks so much! I am on vacation this week. I don’t have to work (which is usually in a factory pushing around heavy metal steels filled with chocolate). I will be watching our two boys as it is spring break. The one thing I do for me is play on the computer. I love doing sweepstakes. always fun to win

  42. April P.on 16 Mar 2009 at 10:53 am edit this

    I received an IPOD for xmas and only have 4 songs on it - this giveaway would be wonderful to receive. I’m going to go shopping and update my wardrobe, maybe even treat myself to a meal I don’t have to cook ;)

  43. Sarahon 16 Mar 2009 at 12:55 pm edit this

    This week I am going to take a bath.. not a 2 second shower. Candles, bubbles, the whole deal.

    Thanks!

    I’m actually lucky because this weekend my kids are going to stay with their aunt and uncle :) So I’ll have plenty of time for myself. My husband is a drummer in a local band so I’ll go along and dance the night away with my friends. Thanks for the giveaway!!!

  47. Graceon 18 Mar 2009 at 9:31 am edit this

    Great giveaway! I’m going to the acupuncturist for a Spring tune-up so I’ll be ready to garden when the weather cooperates. Let’s hear it for sunbreaks!

  48. Haydenon 18 Mar 2009 at 11:04 am edit this

    i am going to lock myself in my craft room while dad and lad hang out. My hubby will put my son to bed and i may not come out of my room until midnight. I would sure love to have some itunes to jam to while i play!

  49. Danielle E.on 18 Mar 2009 at 11:15 am edit this

    The weather is supposed to be great this weekend. I plan on taking the dog and going for a really nice walk.

  50. Lori A.on 18 Mar 2009 at 11:57 am edit this

    Oh, you’re tough!! LOL With 3 kids (5, 11, 14) it’s hard to do anything without at least one of them. I only have the 14 year old at home with me right now so maybe I’ll go snuggle in bed and start reading a book I’ve been wanting to get to!

    Well, I have a 4 month old so there isn’t a lot of ‘me’ time except when I go to the gym to workout so that is what I’m doing for myself (several times) this week lol.
