Mommy Must Read Giveaway

I just met you, and, this is crazy, but here's my giveaway, so enter maybe?

I'm giving away a copy of my current favorite books by bloggers. This is the ultimate collection for moms, but I'm sure dads and kids and single people and cats would like it too. Dogs would probably think it's delicious. 

Anyway, the prize...

I Just Want to Pee Alone by Some Kick Ass Mom Bloggers including Insane in the Mom Brain (the Unicorn Whisperer), Rach Riot (Pilates Avoider), and Kelley's Break Room (Hand Boxes Extraordinaire) 

Moms Who Drink and Swear by Nicole Knepper, the Queen of Cussin

Parenting Gag Reel - Hilarious Writes and Wrongs: Take 26 (Life Well Blogged) (Volume 4) by Abbey Fatica and Monica Merrill Mylet

Clutter Diet by Lorie Marrero, professional organizer and Goodwill fashion model

Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson, blogging genius who can balance cats on her head.

and The Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer (batteries not included)

Now to point out how awesome the banana slicer is, here's a review from amazon.com...

I bought this for bananas then found lots of other ways to use this product. Works great as a Cat litter box scooper. When done just rinse it off and it's ready for slicing more bananas. I tried using it as a boomerang but no luck there , it just kept hitting the neighbors house. People have told me they used it as a self defense weapon so I bought another one and tied them together with a 12" chain and made a Legal set of nunchaku which work great for when walking late night in some bad areas. If someone approaches you and wants to take your wallet and you pull those slicer chucks out and start swinging them around , you know people will look at you with respect and then keep on walking. Well worth the price.

Other reviews have stated it saves marriages. I personally have found that it makes breastfeeding much easier.

So to enter to win these amazing books and The Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer, go to this Rafflecopter place at the bottom and start entering. There's a bunch of options. The important thing is the following...

I will be making sure you did what you say you did when it comes to facebook likes and comments; however, I can't be sure you actually flashed someone or danced nekkid in front of the mirror, so that's a total honor system. Don't get arrested or injured during the process, and I am not liable if you do, so embark on those entries with extreme caution because that's all on you. 

The Rafflecopter will be randomly picking the winner. You got 5 days to answer your email or what not or it goes somewhere else. I will announce the winner on this blog somewhere, so don't enter if you don't want your name anywhere. I think I have to provide a winner list by law to anyone who requests it making sure I'm all being legit with this, which by the way, I am. I'm too legit to quit. If you win, you do need to acknowledge you did so in writing. The Rocket non-scientists suggested that, so I am just blindly agreeing. All the terms are somewhere in the Rafflecopter. I might repeat it at the bottom. I doubt most of you would read that except for people ridin dirty. So you ridin dirtiers know, I ain't got shit to take, like the clothes off my back are from Walmart and don't match. If you are looking for an easy lawsuit, aim for people who have money because I'm a waste of time, like your mom was (ooooh, burn, wait, I just burned myself again). 

You can also share this page places so your friends can enter. I know you probably don't want the competition, but they might loan you out the book when they are done with it, AND they may enter by dancing nekkid or something, and you so totally want to read about that don't you? I would. Especially my hottie friends. 

And to Disclaim... The prizes I bought with my own money. Nothing was given away to me to do this. I had offers to receive free books for the giveaway when I approached the authors, but I already bought these by then, and I wanted to pay for it so you know I'm not giving away junk nobody else wanted. I'm not getting paid to mention these books or pimp out the wonderful geniuses behind the authors. The Bloggess also said you didn't have to like her page, but I added her anyway just because I can't deny you guys her page. 

And the prizes are as is. I bought new stuff, but if it has something wrong with it, you get it as is. If it smells funky when you get it, that's just my funk and I'm not sorry. My funk is awesome. If my kids destroy the prize before I can mail it out, you might be waiting a minute longer for it. 

And I totally reserve the right to change all the rules whenever I want for this because I'm the Queen Mad Hatter and that's what I do. I am fair though, like I'm not going to not giveaway these books because what am I going to do with two copies of them all? The banana slicer, I can make nunchucks, but I won't. I already have Chuck Norris fists.
