Boys Rule My Life... How About You?

And the winner is: Audra Marie!
Actually, you were the second pick, but the first pick did not give me a way to contact her... lucky you! :)

Audra Marie said...

I have two sons and a hubby (and honestly, my daughters would love this, too). My sons are all boy, and they have huge hearts. They love to be needed, work hard, and give to people. They have an amazing dad, too.

I'd love to win this for them.

Thanks for the chance to win! :)



I'll email you and then you have 4 business days to contact me or I will have to choose a runner-up winner... regulations and all! :)

Thanks to everyone for playing!




With the Bloggy Giveaways underway I wanted to take Shannon's suggestion of giving away something that represents my blog. Well, that would be boys. Three little ones as a matter of fact... and then there is the big boy that I take care of, too! Whichever way you look at it, Boys Rule My Life and I'm proud of it!

I am giving away a brand spankin' new copy of The Original Boy's Handy Book written by the co-founder of the Boy Scouts of America. It contains loads of information that boys "should" know. In my opinion, some of it they shouldn't know... but I'm just the mom!

The book is divided into four sections, one for each season. Chapters include building a kite, tying knots, camping, aquariums, puppet making, homemade fishing tackle, and even a chapter on taxidermy (that's the one they don't need to know!)... just to name a few.

Here are the rules:

1. You must be a US citizen... sorry shipping rates are awful!
2. You must leave a comment on this post with some way for me to contact you if you win.
3. You do not need to have a blog to participate... I must be able to contact you though.
4. You have to work for this one a bit... in your comment, tell me about the boy(s) in your life that you'd be reading this book with or giving it to. It doesn't have to be long or involved, just something special about your little man/men. :)
5. The winner will not be chosen based on #4, but #4 must be included. (A little work never hurt!)
6. I will randomly draw for a winner on Saturday, February 2, 2008 at NOON CST.


For an obscene number of Bloggy Giveaways, head over to Rocks in My Dryer throughout the week!

I'm mom to two boys and I just love it! Boys can be sweet and cuddly or buzzing with energy.They might be making "pillows" from plastic bags and grass,cutting up cardboard boxes and making miniature houses or dancing with underwear on their heads.Days are full,but good!

I have 1 boy and 1 girl. My son is 2, while their is only 1 sister to deal with most the time he has 16 girl cousins and NOT ONE boy cousin!!! He, for a two year, does a fantastic job holding his own and making the barbies get towed by his big trucks!

My son is thirteen months, and this will give me a headstart on all the things I need to teach him as his daddy!

I have two boys so far. My older boy just turned 6 and needs more boy stuff in his life. He adores his older sister who is his primary playmate. His other playmates are her friends. He's surrounded by girls so he plays Barbie, My Little Pony, and everything else she likes. My other boy is 11 months old. He's going to grow up boy without a problem having a big brother that he already beats up on.

I'd love to give this to my nephews Cole and Caleb. Cole's the smartest and most creative 5-year-old I know. And Caleb's only a year, but I'm sure he'll be a lot like his big brother.
