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!

  1. I have FOUR boys plus a hubby...so this one caught my eye right away! My boys are 10, 7, 6 and 3. It's loud and we go through a lot of groceries. I LOVE it!!!

  2. That's a great book! I got it for my nephew last Christmas and was almost tempted to keep it and get him something else. LOL I've got 2 boys of my own. This is something I'd love to have for them.

  3. I hate to post a comment this early on! I will never win! I have 3 boys who also rule my life. I need all the help I can get!

    I never win anything.

  4. Looks like a fun book. I have three boys (ages 7, 9, 14) plus my hubby...I'm sure they would all enjoy the book. Heck, my 11 yr. old daughter would probably even read it, she's a bit of a tomboy. Thanks for offering it.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm a busy SAHM of 4 boys ages 6,5,1 and 5 months. Life is crazy around here, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the inquisitive moments and the way their brilliant little minds work. It's a joy everyday to look at life through their gorgeous little eyes.....

  6. Your boys are adorable! I have 1 boy, heading into the teenage years (and a beautiful girl too!)and am a proud Asst Scoutmaster for our Boy Scout Troop and would love to win this book for all my "boys" in the Troop! Thanks for the giveaway! Didn't know about this book and may buy it if I don't win!

  8. I have two boys that I homeschool. They always keep me on my toes and are doing stuff that sometimes makes me cringe and cry, but then I remember that "Children are a blessing"

    ReplyDelete
  9. This would be for my 3 yr old who is funny, clever and loud (not always in that order).

    ReplyDelete
  10. Alright, you know about the boys in my life. I would love this book. I have decided to home school Caedmon next year, so I think this book would be great for supplemental ideas. :)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Well, dearest, you already know that boys rule my life too!

    My husband is like "a worm in hot ashes" (to quote my mom!). Bascially, he can't sit still! He thinks we should all be constantly doing something, and maybe that little book will have some handy ideas of things to do with all of them.

    Thanks for the contest - I need to get mine posted!

  13. I have a ten year old who loves The Dangerous Book for Boys and I know he'd love this too. I love this classical type of book that encourages kids to be boys and not just hook up to a video game. Thanks for hosting!

  14. My son is such a hard worker. School doesn't come easy, but he does well, and it's because he works really hard. I'm so proud of him.

  15. My little man is 2 1/2 and already a real adventurer. He's curious and ornery, and loves to take things apart.

  19. I actually don't have any little men, just one little girl. But I am hoping that this will change in the future, so someday I may have some very special little boys to read this with. :) And in the meantime, my daughter and I can enjoy it. :) Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!

  22. Oh I would love this.. We got the dangerous book for boys and my husband loves reading it to my 4 year old, but better yet, my 4 year old is totally into it.

    We have 2 boys and no girls so we need all the boy books we can get! :-) We have a 4 year old and a 17 month old who is already giving us a run for our Sanity :-)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I would love this. I have a tiny boy that is overpowered by girls all day. I need it to help myself to teach him some boy stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Well, I have 5 boys I'd be giving the book to. Well, it'd go on the coffee table and they would all read it, except Sam, but we'd read it to him. Drew is 18, but he loves stuff like that, Devon is 15 and super daring (skateboard off the roof? Sure! Eat something off the ground? Sure!) Cody is 12, and Sam is 1. But my biggest boy is 38, and he would LOVE the book!

  25. Please enter me in your giveaway.

    My boy is my only child, a 7 year old son. He is the light of my life and I would love to share this book with him.

  29. My three year old son is the type that gets into everything. Yesterday he poured olive oil on my piano bench and last week it was vinegar into my bread machine. He needs some sort of creative outlet for his energy, but I don't know what.

    ReplyDelete
  30. My boys are so much fun. My oldest is almost 14, and turning into a responsible young man. He'd love to find some new ideas to get into trouble. My little boy is 4, and loves CARS. We have fun making car noises.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am always saying that I need to "boy up" my son a bit seeing as how he spends 99% of his time with myself and his 2 older sisters! Count me in please!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I would love to win and give it to the special man in my life my 3 year old. He loves to read with mom and we could read and talk about it together.

    ReplyDelete
  33. One son plus a husband. I also have 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Boys everywhere! Would love the book. Amandashort at comcast dot net

    ReplyDelete
  34. I have one son so far--he's 19 months old and an absolute doll. I'm sure he'll love it in a few years (and hopefully they'll be some brothers for him to share it with by that point!).

    ReplyDelete
  35. Seriously, what is not to love about little boys? I could eat my little guy up. :)
    He'd love the taxidermy part, he would love to go hunting and is screaming for joy when we see a dead deer on the roof rack of a car.

    Okay, something interesting about him...when he grows up he wants to be a hockey player and a bull rider.

  42. This would be great for my 3 and 1 year olds. I've always been pretty much a girly girl. These 2 little boys are trying to change that. I need all the help I can get to keep up with them and their dad!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I actually have 2 girls, but I think those things you talked about are just as important for girls to know as well! My hubby and I find it very important that our girls be well-rounded and not stuck in the girl/boy stereotypes that our society casts upon them.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I actually have all girls--but I really like books like this to show them they can do that stuff, too!

    ReplyDelete
  45. That would be perfect for my very boyish boy.

    ReplyDelete
  46. This book would be perfect for my 8year old son. I grew up with sisters so having ideas of fun things to do with my son would be "handy".

    ReplyDelete
  47. As a mother of boys, I would LOVE this book. I may have to get it even if I don't win. Great give-away.

  58. I have one little boy - he'll be two on Sunday (where did the time go?) and has just started getting rambunctious and boyish and toddler-crazy. I have a feeling he'll love this book in a few years!

  59. My boy is only six months old but I figure that gives me plenty of time to learn boy stuff. He's the happiest mama's boy around but I need some back-up so he doesn't get festooned in princess gear and forcefed Barbie videos by his big sis!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I would love to win this for my son. The poor guy is surrounded by 5 sisters. LOL :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Boys...hmmm...I've got them coming at me from every direction in my house! I'm a mom to four boys, ages 5 and under...with baby #5 on the way...we don't know what it is yet. You know what I say? um, boy, lol. Not to mention when we have my 3 older stepsons in the house...that makes for lots of testosterone and a lonely mommy, lol.

    Looks like a great book! I'm sure it would get lots of use!

So, we are doing the best we can to raise our son as a single child. We homeschool because of my husbands health issues, and belong to a great church. We want our son to continue to be all boy and go out with his dad and do boy things. This would be a great book for us to teach him these things. Well, I didn't see me writing about this today. Anyway, count me in please! Thanks!

  73. I have two sons. The oldest is smart and funny and sometimes when I call him "son" he calls me "daughter". He's only four. My younger son is funny and sweet and great and has spina bifida.

  92. I almost ordered this for a Christmas present. I thought it would be great for my 8 year old son. He loves hands on stuff & daddy has been working a lot & having a few health issues. Sometimes it's hard for a mom to teach a boy man things. I think this book will make someone very happy. Thanks for the contest.

    I have 2 boys so far, ages 2 1/2 and 6 mos. I wouldn't be surprised if I have all boys someday- I just have a feeling...
    My 2 year old (as you know) recently fractured his elbow... so having somewhere to direct his energy (advice that this book would give) would be helpful!

  100. I could brag on my little man all day (my big man too!). The best part about him is that he gets the toilet paper holder out of the bathroom and uses it as a microphone while he plays his guitar. He is not even two yet. It is the most precious thing!! (You can see a picture of it on my site www.sew56.wordpress.com from an entry a few days ago!).

  112. My 5 1/2 year old son is a thinker. He is thoughtful and pensive about every decision. My 2 1/2 year old is a dare devil. He climbes on everything and will call my name to let me see how big he is. When the two are together, they come up with some fantastic plans together. Tonight, they build a ladder and slide out of the snow instead of a snowman. They are amazing, and I cherish these days. When I'm not saying "get off your brother!!"

  120. Oh my, even if I don't win, just seeing your header was worth all of today.

    I have taken many photos just like that. I just love my childrens feet. It may be corney, but they grow so fast and seeing them just wiggling their "piggies" makes me smile.

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  123. My 5 yo son would love to leaf through this book with me - or even better, as bonding time with his dad! Thanks for the contest.

  124. I have a 14 month old and a hubby who is a little boy at heart. He would love to share this book with our son.

  125. I've got 2 boys who would LOVE This - they need to develop more skills to avoid boredom and those idle hands!

  126. Here's a quote from a blog entry from last week to give you an idea of my boys: "You know this really does remind me of when Tyler had his leg cast this summer (full leg) and he got stuck in our chain link fence, upside down, stuck by his cast. Nothing slows my children down."

    They are good, well behaved, and cute, but man they have energy to spare. So we'd love the book.

    ReplyDelete
  127. This book looks fabulous! I have 2boys who are curious and question everything... I will be sad when the day comes that they don't believe that my husband and I know all the answers. :( We'll need all the reference books we can get our hands on!

  128. I have an almost one year old little dude, and two older girls... The poor guy needs all the help he can get!

  131. I've only got one little man, but he has 2 sisters so I want to be sure that he isn't overrun by girls and still gets to have as many 'boy' experiences as possible.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I have 2 boys with baby number 3 on the way. I would love to have this book for my boys, as I'm a slightly outnumbered MOM! Love my boys!

    I have 4 boys of my own...11, 9, 6, and 4. I have a baby girl, and it is my pet peeve when people say, 'oh you finally had your daughter, now you must be done" Well, we would have been just as happy with another boy! I think boys are sooo much fun. Thank goodness God gave me a bundle of them!

    ReplyDelete
  139. I have boy/girl twins and will be sharing things with them that are gendered and not. I hope to show them that they can do whatever they want even if it doesn't fall into society's perception of gender appropriate.

  140. I'm a SAHM to 2 little boys (ages 2 and 1/2 and 8 months). There's definitely never a dull moment having them around! This book is such a great idea for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  141. My "little man" is only four months old at the moment, but the fact that this book is co-written by the founder of the Boy Scouts means that it's going to wind up on our book shelf even if we don't win! My husband is an Eagle Scout and very proud of that fact. He can't wait until our little one gets big enough so that he can join Scouts, too.

    ReplyDelete
  142. I would be reading this book with my 5 year old son. He is a wonderful, loving, and vibrant little boy who brings joy to our hearts and our home. It would be great to be able to share this book with my son.

  171. I have 6 year old and 2 year olds boys who rule part of my life(I also have 2 girls). It seems this would be great for a homeschooler!

  172. I have a 18 month old boy and hopefully more on the way, along with my two girls, he could use this later. My brothers had a older copy of this when we were growing up.

  177. I have one son, and one husband, who both love to do "GUY" things, like hunting, fishing, playing basketball, etc.. Hubby got son "The Dangerous Book for Boys" last summer, and winning this book would be a great surprise for both of them.

    I was a single mom for 10 years, so I praise God for a wonderful husband who is a real man, and is teaching our son to be a real man.

  183. This would be great for my nephew. He can learn mechanical and farm stuff from his daddy and grandpas but the boy scouty stuff is not so much what they do. And since both sets of grandparents are out in the country, he'll have the room to do all this stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I coulda' sworn I entered this one, but evidently not...my little man is stuck in the middle of two sisters and in a house full of women. Sometimes he says he has to go see his grandpa for some "guy time".

  186. I would read this book with my 8 and 9 year old sons. Both are complete opposites of each other, but great in his own way. The 9 year old is somewhat nerdy, wears glasses, thinks girls have cooties, loves to watch TV and play with webkinz, and has the biggest heart of any child I've seen.
    The 8 year old is more independent, thinks girls are cute, and likes to play rough.
