Isn’t This Precious? Published on Thursday, July 31, 2008 by

*Update*

This giveaway is now closed.  Thank you so much for stopping by and entering.  The winner is Leigh (#70).  Congratulations!

I am a nostalgic kind of gal. I keep things most people don’t. Like wedding favors, cards/letters, my son’s hospital bracelet, and my son’s first painting. Most of the things I collect aren’t trinkets but meaningful memories of important events or special moments in life. I don’t have a lot of time to spend on actually fostering a collection, but as a child I loved collecting two things: bells and anything from the Precious Moments Collection.

When MomSelect (if you haven’t heard you must check it out!) sent me some information about a new website developed in partnership with Precious Moments, called Precious Moms, I had to check it out! The website was designed to meet the needs of moms who strive to integrate spirituality into their daily lives. Precious Moms is a place where moms can find celebration tools and tips on planning their most special days including children’s birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, baby showers, and more. We just celebrated my son’s first birthday and I would have loved to have used some of the ideas from the Precious Party Package. This is where you’ll find everything you need to plan a birthday celebration including invitations and thank-you notes you can print at home, recipes and activities and a party planning checklist to keep you organized. There is a wealth of information on the site including some fabulous resources. My favorite is Mom-to-Mom where you can connect with other moms.

To celebrate the launch of Precious Moms, I have a “Birthday Wishes With Hugs And KissesPrecious Moments collectible to give to one reader.

Here is the 411:

Head over to Precious Moms and leave a two-part comment with one of the features you like about the site and which figurine you’d love to own. Comments will close on August 10, 2008 at 10 pm PST and I will announce the winner here. One comment per person, please. US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.

P.S. You may want to consider coming back VERY soon. I still have several fun giveaways lined up including some BlogHer swag. I’m hoping to post that one today if my son, who has not been feeling well, takes a good nap!

You still have an opportunity to enter to win a GameStop Gift Card, an Oh Snap T for your trendy tot, one of four boxes of Cocoa Puffs Combos, and a Schlage Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock.

    God’s Love Is My Guiding Light is my favorite Precious Moments. I must say that what I really like about the site is how clean it is….very user-friendly, super easy to navigate, and done with such nice colors.

  • by Katherine Frazier July 31, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    I liked being able to sort by occasion – my favorite figurine is Always By Your Side – Girl .

  • by Diana Dang July 31, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    I like the celebrations section because it would be very useful for moms to help organize things. There are so many beautiful figurines! I simply can’t choose! But I like A Sister is a gift one. ^^

    I like the Family Life section. It looks like there’s a lot of great articles and a few yummy sounding recipes there.

    I love Precious Moments….it’s hard to choose just one figurine I’d love to have! The “Life is Sweeter with You” figurine is really cute!

    Thanks a bunch!

    I don’t collect Precious Moments, but I wanted to stop by and say thank you for entering my giveaway. I also just have to say I’m a “collector” or “keeper,” too. I still have the pregnancy test from when I finally got pregnant almost 13 years ago. Some things are so nostalgic!

  • by acupofjoy August 1, 2008 at 4:42 am

    I’d love to win this sweet birthday figurine for my god-daughter…her birthday is in a few weeks. My favorite feature of the site is the Inspirational Messages.

    I think the site has a very nice clean look to it meaning it’s not all jumbled up with stuff everywhere. You’re able to look for what you want and go to it.

    Okay, I couldn’t choose just one so here are the ones that almost made me cry. LOL
