Calorie-free Cupcakes for a Cause

I have a confession to make–I’m a Facebook Flair sender. It’s true. Those little virtual buttons make me smile, and I like to send them to my friends. And the virtual gifts like candy, cocktails, garden plants and sea creatures?? I send those too. Electrolux has taken this virtual gift concept to a whole new level….VIRTUAL CUPCAKES!!

For every cupcake that you create between now and February 24, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. How sweet is that?? As a bonus, when you log on to send cupcakes, you also get entered to win a fabulous “Red Hot Red” washer/dryer set. Create cupcakes at http://www.electroluxappliances.com/ and while you are there, check out the darling “wear your heart on your sleeve” tshirt designed by Kelly Ripa. Adorable, and all proceeds benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

I don’t know about you, but after this weekend of Valentine candy, candy and more candy, virtual sweets are about all I can handle!

This post is part of a Mom Central blog tour.

Stolen Moments…

Lately I feel like anything that isn’t directly related to the day-to-day operations of my family or my job is sort of a guilty pleasure. Included in this, in case you haven’t noticed, is blogging. By the time I sit down at night, any and all witty posts I’ve composed in my head are gone.

Anyway, blogging still has it’s perks, some of which I can pass on to you. Today is a prime example….awhile back I got a preview of Yanni’s new project, Yanni Voices. Yanni? You ask. Yes, Yanni. These days I’m finding Yanni most relaxing, and most adult. That’s the best way to explain it.

Yanni Voices is a new endeavor, putting lyrics and voices to music. I couldn’t really imagine it, but I have to say, it’s really good. Check out the sound here: Yanni Voices. There are no nursery rhymes, no songs about dinosaurs, no hand clapping–enjoy!

A Valentine’s Day Giveaway

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

**UPDATED**

This Giveaway is now closed…thanks for playing and stay tuned for a winner!

In celebration of my first real Snow Day (almost 10 inches! woot!), and just in time for Valentine’s day, I have a giveaway!!!

Hallmark has some all new recordable cards just in time for Valentine’s Day and guess what? I get to give a couple away!! These cards are so much fun–you have 10 seconds to record your own message, and then music plays.

I will send a couple of these cards your way, along with a book of stamps.

So how do you get your hands on these little numbers?? Just leave me a comment telling me…do you prefer flowers, chocolate or love notes for Valentine’s Day?? Come on, you can tell me! Also, please make sure you leave me a way to get in touch with you! (I will ship to US and Canada)
