I Love My Readers!!

Dear Reader,

Okay! So I decided to make things a little more exciting going into the holidays. My traffic has been up quite a bit and I really want to encourage that and keep my faithful followers… well… uh… faithful. So I decided ‘tis the season of giving! And what better way to let you guys know how much I love you being around than a give-a-way.

The winners will be announced every Wednesday, as well as the prize for the next weeks give-a-way. Each contest ends at midnight on Tuesday. Here are the following contests:

Just Follow Me! Starting tomorrow and going until December 10th, each person that signs up to follow me will be added into a drawing. Everyone that signs up (or has already signed up) before midnight tonight will be get 3 entries. The person who is picked will win their choice of a $10 gift certificate to Ellwood Thompson or Penzeys Spices. (Please note: if you elect to follow me, but not be public, you will have to leave a comment and let me know and let me know how to reach you in case you win.)

I Am Needy! The next contest will be from December 11th until 17th. I want to see how many people you can refer to Mommy Gourmet! You will get entered to win a prize (to be announced December 10th) for each person who comes to Mommy Gourmet and posts a comment saying you referred them. Be sure to follow up on the 17th as I will post the winner and you will need to let me know how to get your prize to you.

Possibly A Bit Codependent! The next contest will be from December 18th until December 24th. I want to see you on Twitter. I have added a link to my Twitter page to the left. Come join me, but you have to leave a comment! I will announce the winner of the final contest on Christmas Eve.


Finally I have been playing with Mommy Gourmet’s look and layout a bit. I have streamlined some things and added others. I really want your feedback. Tell me if you like it. Tell me what you would change. There is something special in it if you do (shhh! I am not telling!) Only honest feedback though, if you like something tell me why, if you hate it (I can take it, I swear) tell me!

Thanks for making the 9 months so much fun. I really do love you guys!!

Cool! Looks great. I like that bookmark thing. I almost used that last night... maybe now I will.

Hi Vanessa,
I just wanted to thank you for your offering your readers E.T. gift cards. You have a wonderful blog, I got hungry even after eating a huge lunch while reading it. I especially like your meals under $10 ideas for your other blog as well. We did a sampling event in the store last saturday of meals for four under $6 my favorite was creamy butternut squash soup and fresh baked french bread. I look forward to reading more of your ideas and seeing you in the store.
