Contest Rules & Policies

I host giveaways and contests because I think it is fun to share new products and books with my readers and because I hope it builds reader loyalty.

Since I anticipate that giveaways will become a regular feature of Family Musings, I decided to outline a clear giveaway policy.
  1. There is no limit to the number of times you may win. I won't prevent you from winning just because you've won before.
  2. Sometimes I will use a random number generator or choose a winner and sometimes I will choose based on other criteria. I will always tell you in the contest announcement which one it will be.
  3. You do not need a blog to win, but you have to leave some way for me to contact you.
  4. Winners will be contacted via e-mail or in a comment on their blog and if they do not respond within 72 hours, the prize will go to another commenter, whom I will choose based on whichever criteria I care for a the moment.
  5. Each entry should be left as a separate comment. That means one comment for your first entry, 1 comment for your link back to my giveaway, and 1 comment letting me know if you are subscribed to my feed or e-mail.
  6. Entering my giveaway means I will have your e-mail address. I will NOT sell or giveaway this information to ANYONE. However, I may use it to contact you about future giveaways and news about Family Musings.
  7. I reserve the right to change these rules as necessary to facilitate smoother giveaways.
Thanks for reading and good luck!

If you would like me to host a giveaway for one of your products, please send an e-mail to familymusings (at) gmail (dot) com. I am particularly interested in reviewing books, products for young children, and items that make a woman's life easier, whether she is a mom or not.

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t

Note to Self

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti

Yoplait Kids

This giveaway is now closed. The winner has been contacted. My baby girl LOVES yogurt. I try to give her some every morning to go with her fruit and cheerios. I started out buying the Stonyfield Farms yogurt because I wanted to avoid a ton of extra sugar. I have been slowly trying to phase high fructose corn syrup out of our diets and would like to keep it out of Charlotte's from the very beginning. Honestly, I just bought the Stonyfield because I assumed it was the healthiest choice. However, when I was offered a chance to try Yoplait Kids yogurt for free, my frugal self just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I found out that Yoplait Kids uses no artificial sweeteners or flavors, plus it has "25% less sugar than the leading kid's yogurt." (I wasn't able to verify that statement, but it came with the marketing materials for the prize pack.) This morning, Charlotte tried the Banana Yoplait Kids yogurt and really liked it. She even let me feed her almost the ent
