Many of you that entered the giveaway for the book Momisms said you wanted to get it for some lighthearted fun! It’s true, this book is very tongue in cheek and humorous. Like you guys, I love books that poke some good-natured fun at the things we all do.

Today we choose our winner: Heather C.! Congrats to her! She said, “Hmmm, I always wondered what I meant when I say certain things. lol”

See, it’s not just the kids of the world that want this book, it’s the moms too! Now, Heather, if you see some of the things you say listed in this book, be sure to leave a comment and let us know. (wink)

Bees-Tees is giving away one cute tee on Blisstree to one lucky reader. Will it be you? For those that don’t know Bees-Tees have a cute little bumble bee on the front (middle) of the tee with a phrase like cute, happy, proud, etc.

IMG: Bees Tees

Bees-Tees are being called Character Tees because it teaches children all about character issues and it is a great way for you to communicate and talk with your child about these issues. Imagine dressing them in the morning and talking about what the shirt says. Or maybe they just think the bee is cute, either way it works because the shirts really are and they mean something at the same time. These tees will at least be a positive influence instead of all those negative ones out there.

I went back to read more about Bees-Tees and how they were created and thought ya’ll would like to read it. The mom, Melissa Patton, created two for her daughter and realized they could talk about it and this made her think about all the shirts she could create with those character statements: kind, fair, friendly, etc and how they could actually do those things.

Bonus entries: stumble this, twitter it or blog this post and leave a comment letting me know.
Deadline: July 18th, I’ll announce the winner at noon.

US Only please

Don’t we love those little phrases moms all over the world like to say? Like, “Is that what you’re going to wear?” or my favorite, “What’s going on with your hair?” I know I’m not the only one that thinks these are cute and annoying, all at the same time! (tee hee)

That’s why I know you’re going to love this giveaway. It’s a copy of Momisms: What She Says and What She Really Means. Here’s a description from Amazon:

“Is that what you’re going to wear?” Used indiscriminately for sons, daughters, and husbands, this one is a not-so-subtle attempt to make family members rethink their wardrobe choice.” Deciphering the clandestine conspiratorial language that all moms know and use to full effect, Cathy Hamilton translates more than 100 enigmatic maternal utterances to convey the difference between what Mom says and what she means.

If you’d like to win a copy of this book (which in my opinion makes a fun little gift) leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, July 7th. I’ll choose a winner at random and announce them the next day.

Before all the hoopla with Heath Ledger as the Joker in Batman, he was also an excellent actor in several earlier works, like this one: A Knight’s Tale. As if Heath were not enough to make this movie hunk-o-licious, there’s also Rufus Sewell.

A Knight’s Tale takes place in the 14th century with a “rocking new twist” (according to the DVD package!) Here is the trailer:
