(What?) I won!

A few weeks ago (or way more - where does the time go?) I entered a giveaway on The Homemade Baby Food Recipes Blog (an excellent resource on feeding your baby, even if you're not making all your own food, FYI).  The giveaway prize was a knee cushion from Cute and Comfy CushionKnee.  I very rarely win anything, so I did my typical enter-giveaway-then-immediately-x-out-and-never-look-back thing.  (Hmmm, maybe I DO win more often, but I don't know, since I never look back?  I mean, why do I expect that the person sending the winning gift would try to search me down? I sure wouldn't spend more than 5 minutes trying to search down a winner for one of my giveaways!  Haha this reminds me of last summer when I won my friend Callie's giveaway on her blog and had no idea because, surprise, I had never looked back to check...and viola, all of a sudden there was an exciting package on my front porch for me!  Thank you Callie for sending it my way even though I never replied to the winner post!!)

Anyways, I digress.  Back to my CushionKnee story.

So as I said, I had entered the giveaway and then x-ed out and had placed it in my not-gonna-happen brain archives.

Then, to my surprise, I got an email a few days later informing me that yes, the seemingly impossible had indeed become reality.  I was a WINNER.

Whoo hooo!

I of course excitedly provided my home address and eagerly awaited the arrival of my prize.

My package arrived at my house just a few days later, all bundled up in pretty cellophane with a bow.


And can I just say that I LOVE my new cushion?  I use it all the time.  It saves my knees while I'm bathing Krew, and also functions excellently as a butt cushion when I'm sitting on the bathroom floor, fiddling on my computer or reading while he's playing the tub.  Krew also likes to play with it occasionally when he's crawling around in the bathroom while Dave and I are getting ready.

SO, if you're looking for an original gift to get a mommy-to-be, I really love the knee cushions from http://www.cuteandcomfycushionknee.com/.  Check them out. :)

  1. How exciting! That knee cushion looks really nice!

    Ha, it made me laugh reading about my giveaway that you won! I should probably do a better job of notifying the winners. :-D

  4. I love it!! It's adorable! I'm the same way, I enter so many giveaways it's ridiculous, but I know I never win as there are thousands of people that enter...maybe I'll have to start looking back to see if I've won!!
