Prize(s)- 2011 Nissan Quest; also giving away a 4 day trip for four to Los Angeles, CA

End Date - March 31, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Not only is the car family friendly, but the trip is too! Still haven't ever been to CA or won a trip there, so this would be nice. Plus they are building a 'Cars' world there, so 2 year old would be in spoiled boy heaven.

P.S. - You will need to be a member of Disney/Go, but its free and worth it for their sweeps.

Nothing pisses me off more than when Blogger decides for some reason to change a post that was 'scheduled' to 'draft' and not post it.... really?! So, sorry there was no post for most of the day - it should have posted.

Mandatory Sports Post

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Golf.com Seattle Trip

Prize(s)- 3 day trip for 2 to Seattle, Washington and some rounds of golf

End Date - March 27, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per household

Simone's Thoughts - I feel like I haven't posted any 'manly' sweeps in a while, so here's one for the fellows. My husband was actually looking at a golf catalog we got in the mail today (no doubt from some random golf sweep he entered) and had some choice sailor style words re the price they wanted for their clubs. My 2 year old told daddy he had $500 though when he asked - so freakin cute.

Soccer Mom

Prize(s)- 2011 Nissan Quest SL; also giving away a 4 day trip for 4 to Los Angeles, CA

End Date - March 31, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - I never said I wouldn't be a minivan mom, so I don't feel guilty lusting after them. We only have one kid, so really its not a necessity by any means. It also isn't my 67 GTO by any means either. That being said, this might be one that I would keep instead of selling.

FYI - You have to be a member of Disney/Go network to enter - its free to join.

End Date - February 28, 2011

Entry Frequency -1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - I spent 6 hours in the ER tonight to find out I don't have a blood clot - yay - but I really wish I could get that time back. A nice trip to a beach right now would definitely make things right.

Choose it and use it

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Oprah Trip Sweep

Prize(s)- 3 day trip for two to any Marriott Hotel in the continental U.S, rental car, computers

End Date - March 15, 2011

Entry Frequency - 1x per email

Simone's Thoughts - Trips are a dime a dozen, but ones where you get to pick where you go aren't quite so frequent. If this was for 3 it would be perfect (for us), but this will do.

Can you tell I'm sick

End Date - March 9, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Sorry guys still doped up on forever antibiotics and spaced on posting. Thought I had. In any case, I'm pretty sure most of us could us a new range.

Cash is alway a win

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Philips Cash Sweep

Prize(s)- $2500

End Date -February 15, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per household

Simone's Thoughts - $2500 may not be enough to pay the monthly rent on our governor's home, but its a lot of money to us commoners. Definitely worth entering for - that's for sure.

Pretty Things

Sweepstakes Title/Link - ESPN Radio Ring Sweep

Prize(s)- Diamond Ring; also a $500 JCPenny's GC

End Date - February 14, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per household

Simone's Thoughts - Can't help but enter for pretty things. Don't really care much for Hallmark holidays, but if it gets me a diamond ring, I'll play along. You do have to be a member to enter this, but free and worth it.

Trips I can no longer enter

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Travelpro Europe Sweep

Prize(s)- 12 night trip for 2 the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and France

End Date - March 31, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per email

Simone's Thoughts - My freedom to enter for trips all willy nilly ended the second I realized I was pregnant almost 3 years ago. Now I have to think, is this place really safe enough for a child, can we afford the extra airfare if its only a trip for 2, do we have the time to go...etc, etc. This would have been a trip that I would have jumped on back in the PM (pre-Maxwell) age, but alas no longer. You though, you should enter for sure - its a great one.

2.04.2011

Its been too darn cold

Sweepstakes Title/Link -Febreze Trip Sweep

Prize(s)- 7 day trip for 2 to your pick of Maui, Bangkok, Auckland, or Rio, & $5,000; also a first prize of a 7 day trip for 2 to Auckland, New Zealand & $3,000

End Date - May 2, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I once did one of those 'where should you live' surveys and the top result for me was Honolulu. Unfortunately, I just can't imagine it costing that much money to fly and visit our families. Doesn't mean I can't dream of visiting though, especially as cold as its been this past week.

PS - Sorry this didn't post till now, hit the sack early last night and spaced.

Sea Trap

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Pepsi Sea World Trip

Prize(s)- 3 day trip for 2 to your choice of San Diego, CA, San Antonio, TX, or Orlando, FL (8 total trips given away)

End Date - February 20, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per household

Simone's Thoughts - Can't say that Sea World San Antonio is really that interesting, but I've never been to the San Diego one, so maybe that will be better. Honestly, Sea World visits tend to just make me sad for the animals. A trip to CA would be nice though.

2.01.2011

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Frontgate Cruise Sweep

Prize(s)- 10-day cruise for two

End Date - March 15, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
