About forwardOn
forwardOn is a cool new website that is changing the way we forward fun emails to friends and family.  Its like “YouTube” but for fun email forwards (videos, pictures, attachments, jokes). Best of all, you earn free rewards (itunes, amazon gift cards) for posting and sharing emails on forwardOn.
share
Email forwards are fun, BUT can spread accidental viruses, email scams, waste storage and clog friend’s inboxes with HUGE attachments. forwardOn automatically prevents all of the above issues by allowing users to EASILY share fun email forwards on forwardOn.com.
We know that we love getting interesting articles, pictures, and videos, but almost always do not open them because of viruses. And the few my husband has sent, I didn’t even have the right programs to watch them so I never got to know what the big deal was.

Hoover Holiday Giveaway CLOSED $399

hoover1I know, we are vaccuum extraordinaires around here! We always have the scoop on the best vaccuum on the market and this month we are working with Hoover and we are THRILLED.

I have five cats. Five cats + 1 DH + 1 child = DISASTER for your carpet. If I told you how many times I vacuum a week, you wouldn’t believe me. So for our family to have a STRONG reliable vacuum is a worthwhile investment.

Now you may be wondering why we are offering a Bagged vaccuum over a Bagless vaccum. The fact is, there are plenty of reasons why a family would prefer a bag over a bagless and in our past vaccuum giveaways, we have heard from people that want something that has a bag. And hoover was happy to oblige.

There is a lot of discussion on which type of vaccuum is better and most companies offer both now a days. The truth is, its a preference. Checking out the direct a bagless vaccuum picks up may make cleaning more intereting, but for some, supplies an endless amount of dust, dander, and pet fur that circulates in the air once the canister needs to be emptied. With a bagged vacuum, everything you pick up stays sealed-right where you want it.

And if you have ever messed with a Hepa filter on the many bagless vaccuums out there, you also know that that they can be dirty, stinky, and requiring change quite often to get their full usage out of. Many people say that keeping a regular bagged vaccuum is the actually the best way to keep your house clean, as well as dirt and dust free.

What we believe is the most important thing is having a vacuum that WORKS and works WELL. As parents, we don’t want to even imagine the things that are left in our carpet after walking over, and pets sleeping, and bugs, and hair and gosh knows what else. Then we let our infant sit, sleep, and play right on the carpet.

platinum_bagged01-preHoover has recently come out with a Platinum line of Vacuums worth their weight and we happen to have the inside scoop with their handvac, stick vac, and ultra amazing lightweight Bagged upright and portable canister vac!

Platinum Collection™ Lightweight Bagged Upright Features and Benefits:

  • * Most powerful lightweight vacuum in the marketplace removes more dirt in one pass than other uprights
  • * Lightweight design (less than 12 lbs) lets you maneuver through your home and transport the vacuum up stairs with little effort
  • * Includes direct air flow technology and Hoover’s patented WindTunnel™ technology which utilizes three suction tunnels to lift and remove even the hidden dirt (Per ASTM F608)
  • * Edge cleaning channels with bristles effectively clean the hard-to-reach areas around walls and molding
  • * HEPA bag traps 99.97% of dirt, dust and pollens (down to .3 microns) for better air quality
  • * Quick release, self-sealing HEPA bag prevents dirt puffs from escaping when changing the bag
  • * Bag check indicator tells you when to change the bag for optimum cleaning performance
  • * Illuminated in-handle controls allows you to control power on/off and switch between high and low speeds without bending
  • * Stair cleaning handle helps you easily clean stairs, eliminating the need for separate tools
  • * Extra long cord (35´ on upright) gives you the freedom to continue cleaning longer
  • * Best-in-class six-year warranty
  • * Comes with portable canister and tools
  • * Lifetime high intensity LED headlight
  • * Suggested retail price: $399.99

Platinum Collection™ Portable Canister Features and Benefitsplatinum_bagged08-pre

  • Five-foot stretch hose and telescoping wand eliminate excess stretching and bending – providing easy floor-to-ceiling cleaning comfort
  • Detachable shoulder strap helps you move the canister from room to room
  • Canister design includes on-board tools – 2-in-1 tool (dusting/furniture), crevice tool and bare floor tool to simplify transition between furniture, floors and drapes
  • Long cord (25´ on canister) gives you the freedom to keep cleaning for longer periods of time

One of the worst places in my home that often neglects getting cleaned is the stairs, so to have a vaccuum that also goes portable, is amazing. You can put on the portable canister, complete with shoulder strap, and go from room to room, cleaning your hard to reach places, curtains, behind the beds, window sills, and more! Hoover has definitely packaged this as a true Platinum deal.

CONTEST

Now we know that there are presents out there that you received over the holidays (or at any time in your life) that…well…..were probably not so great. An ugly swear, a gift card to the Army/Navy store…..or maybe nothing at all?

What we want to do is trade our Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright and Portable Canister worth $399 in exchange for your worst present (virtually of course).  How is that to make the season bright? Plus, starting off the new year where you can clean from top to bottom, is a wonderful way to feel fresh. Out with the old…in with the new.

1) To win, first head over to Hoover and let us know another product on their page you love. We want Hoover to know their favorite products by consumers!

2) Then, let us know the worst gift you have ever received…if it was this holiday, or a birthday 10 years ago, we want to hear the very worst gift. We encourage pictures of your worst gifts and then link back in the comments.

This can be done in the SAME comment each time, no need for separate one as this will not be a random.org contest.

We will narrow down the top 20 worst gifts on Jan 29th and put up a poll  right on momdot where our users can vote for the person that should receive the brand new vacuum.

You may enter as many times as you want, as long as you complete both steps along the way. Now is a time to celebrate all those times your mother in law bought you a thong…….and oh, yes she did one year.

ps we would completely appreciate a tweet or blog post about this contest

FLOR Giveaway: Design Freedom in the New Year $199(CLOSED)

If your anything like me, you know that decorating can take forever and often is very difficult to find patterns that really go in your home. I’m just now getting around the curtains and matching sheets and I am 30 years old. Breaking college habits are hard. Then when you have a child, it seems to take even more of a backseat.

When we discovered FLOR from our blogging friend Jaqueline, we knew it was a must have on MomDot with our readers, and a must have in our own home. What makes FLOR unique is that you don’t just buy a rug or a FLOR mat, you CREATE your carpet, customizable and limited only by your own imagination.

With the ability to buy individual tiles, you can create the exact look you want in your home. From funky and fresh, to stripes and squares, and even a way to bring your child’s room to life, the possibilities are endless with Flor.

About FLOR:

Launched in the spring of 2003 and based in Elmhurst, Illinois (just outside Chicago), FLOR is a line of design-inspired carpet squares for the home that lets you create unique area rugs, runners or wall-to-wall carpet designs quickly and easily.

The company was founded on the idea that carpet could be fun, stylish, practical and responsible. We think FLOR carpet tiles answer the call. The modular design means you can customize FLOR to fit any size space, even the most difficult layout, and take FLOR with you wherever you go. FLOR is also eco-friendly having some of the lowest Volatile Organic Compound emissions (VOCs) in the industry. Plus, FLOR comes in a wide variety of colors, patterns and textures so it gives you freedom to create exactly the right design for your room and your style.

One of Flors brand new designs, and best sellers, is the Tuxedo design. And we do love it as well!

r212000006-98380_1

But what we really, really fell in love with is their 5×7 Sea Grass rugs, available in either acorn/reed or brook/moon.

r208000012-98375_1

r208000012-98374_1

The Sea Grass Stripe Rug arranges broad bands of Velvet Twist tiles in natural, understated tones, creating a versatile accent that is clean and sophisticated. FLOR has done the work for you by providing pre-cut tiles for this design; all you have to do is assemble and enjoy. Available in three sizes and two color choices, each rug includes FLOR dots and a detailed rug map for quick and easy installation.  For a fun do-it-yourself project, download Rug Map 2 (below) and browse “Room Views” (to the left) for more ideas. Use pieces of Sea Grass Rug to create something new – cut and rearrange tiles to build this unique design, featured on The Martha Stewart Show!

In fact, if FLOR wanted to send one over to me, I would be happy to test it out! Goodness knows I have about 10 years of decorating I need to catch up with. One thing about having a house fire, is that the few things you have accumulated like that, are all gone and its the last thing you replace.

What we wanted to do is help you start your new year with the decorating bug and also show you this amazing site and how you can get your home up to speed.

Nokia E71 $500 CONTEST Dec 16th CLOSED

Preamble:

Any of you that frequent my blog, know that I entered a walmart contest. And they narrowed down the videos to 20 and then the top 10 win a huge awesome prize of free groceries for a year. I dont care much about material things, but groceries I could USE. Then the Wii thing hit and I wanted to win for YALL so I had a brilliant idea to enter for yall, but generally, I do not enter contests. I am sorry they both came at the same time cause it feels so dirty to be begging for votes all the time. I promise I wont be asking for votes with contests like this for many months. Hey, atleast I’m offering up PRIZES, right??

Well, the finalists got narrowed down and I wasn’t on it, but there was a mistake and NOW I am in the top 20!! The downside is that I lost four days of voting and somehow I have to catch up. I am commending Walmart for correcting the mistake and adding the videos that should have been there and want to publicly thank Katja for her support while they were correcting the problem. On with the contest.

CONTEST

I didn’t know what I would do with this phone, but here’s the deal. I’m willing to give it up if I win the walmart contest. I have this BRAND NEW AWESOME TOP OF THE LINE $500 dollar NOKIA E-71. It can be YOURS. Only taken out of the box for a photo. NEVER USED. Its hands down, an amazing phone. You can sell it, keep it, give it as a Christmas gift, whatever you want. It was a blog prize win for me and I cant use it (very unfortunately).I do believe its compatible with most major cell services…i have a LOCAL service that is not a national, so that is why its run on a different network. (like an unheard of cell service)

So i am going to give you a chance to win my $500 phone for a few seconds of your time.

1 entry if you vote for me. I do not know if you can vote more then once, but if you can, ill give you one entry for every vote you give me. You have to vote on the walmart page through the thumbs UP after my video is there.

1 entry for going to my actual youtube page and leave me a comment and a star rating

10 entries here if you BLOG about this and link back so others can vote

1 entry for every tweet you send out the entire contest time

1 entry for STUMBLING the post

This is how you vote. You have to go their youtube page at www.youtube.com/walmart.   They have not made it easy to get to each video and there are no permalinks I can direct you to. There is a link called NEXT VIDEO and you need to scroll through till you see HAASIEGIRL/Walmart TIp and then give me a thumbs up. There are only 20 videos, so you shouldn’t need to go far.   OR you should be able to type “haasiegirl” into the find box there and hit enter, then click on my picture and it comes right up now.

My actual video link is at Your kitchen can be a spa but you cant vote there.

The youtube contest closes on Dec 16th, so we will close this contest at that time as well.

Scribble It: Wall Art (CLOSED)

We have featured Scribble it before, during our first week open at the end of July. So we were honored when they asked to come back to run another contest here! I have bought from them a few times myself in my personal home and have just been trying to figure out what to put in my dining room.

Scribble it decorated my car in my bloggy pride. This is how we pimp our blog around town(no, the license plate is not real, I just took off our real numbers). If your interested, I got this for $12.

And, they decorated my kitchen…i also am trying to figure out a quote for my dining room.

From your bedroom to your living room, you can pick a design or they can design something that is uniquely you! No sense in having bare walls, bring some personality into your home. And we found that Scribble It Designs were very easy to put on the walls and car. Additionally, they have a blog (woo hoo, we love blogs) and they have contests all the time!

(sample from their site photo)

Here is what Scribble is offering: A $20 GC for their ESTY store, where you can pick your own decal personalized for your life-including your own colors!. Their products start as low as $1.50 and the majority are below $20, so it leaves you a TON of options for whatever room in your home you need. Think Bathroom, Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen, or even car!

To Enter: We are going to make this fun. You can enter as many times as you want. Yep, you heard that right. But to keep it fair, here are the stipulations.

Your first post MUST be you going to their ETSY store or WEBSITE and telling us..which artwork you want..where would you spend it. Would you personalize? Do you have something you like already there?

After that, you may enter as many times, in as many comments as you want, as long as they are at least one sentence long. Not one word, one sentence. You can say “My cat just took a crap” and that counts…but “cat. crap.” does not.  Each full sentence that is in a separate comment, will be allowed as long as you have completed the first. So if you want to enter 500 times..knock yourself out.

Have fun and if you are looking for Vinyl artwork for your car or home, please consider our sponsor, who has beautiful products. (that we use!)

Contest ends on Tuesday the 21st!
