Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back

*Added in another way to receive Extra Entries! 


We temporarily interrupt your regularly scheduled M.I.T. Mondays post to announce this urgent message.

Welcome to the new Suburban Housewife-in-Training site!

This has been a few months in the making (and not just because it took me so damn long to get back to Krystyn) (as I’m sure some of you noticed when the navigation bar was added a few weeks back), and is still in works while I finalize a few things (like my Favorites and Policy) but I’m super excited about everything.

I’ve added an About Me section, what can I say, I'm the S.H.I.T.!, updated my badge, and will soon be available by subscription for your Kindle (or Kindle app on your iPad). I’m also available on Formspring if you want to ask me a question (nothing rated R please - I am a part-time Mommy blog) and I promise I’m going to start twittering again! If you want to follow me, just ask - it's only private to keep out spam.

And, most importantly, while I was busy being a bad blogger mother, I went and had my two year blogoversary...with no celebration what-so-ever. That just seems wrong. So I want you all to celebrate with me! That’s right...

it’s time for a giveaway!

Unfortunately, I don’t have any diamonds this time around (ahem, Kohl’s...if you’re listening...), but since it’s almost Christmas, I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway Secret Santa style.

Here’s how it works. You enter. You win. I go through your blog and/or ask you a ton of questions (if you don’t blog) to find out what you like and pick out a present accordingly.

So basically you’re entering a contest and have no idea what you’re winning.

Sounds like fun, right? Here’s how to enter:

In ONE comment:

1. Let me know that you are a follower (or become one).
2. Leave your e-mail address in the comment (or activate e-mail in your profile). If I can’t contact you, you can’t win.

For additional entries (please let me know what you’ve done in the SAME COMMENT above):

     3.  Tweet about this giveaway and leave the link to your tweet**.
     4.  Add my giveaway button to your blog and tell me where to find it.
     5.  Add my NEW badge to your blog (or update my old badge with my new one).
     6.  FOR 3 EXTRA ENTRIES*** write a post about this giveaway on your blog, linking back to this post through my blog title: Suburban Housewife-in-Training, and leave the link to your post in the comment (so you post first, comment/enter second). Without the proper link, you will not receive additional entries (so no just linking to the word “contest” or “giveaway”).
     7. JUST ADDED: FOR 2 EXTRA ENTRIES, become a Facebook Fan. 

**If you have a private twitter account, you MUST add me as a reader so I can view the tweet. Otherwise, you will NOT receive an additional entry. You will only receive ONE extra entry no matter how many times you tweet about the giveaway.
***You will only receive three extra entries once, no matter how many times you post about the giveaway.

Rules:
*Only open to residents of the continental U.S.A. (sorry folks – international shipping is a nightmare).
*Winners are chosen by random.org.
*Once selected, winner has 48 hours to contact me, otherwise another winner will be chosen.
*Contest ends Tuesday, December 7th at 11:59 p.m. ET. Winner will be posted the following day.
*Rules for each entry must be followed to be valid. Blog author has right to refuse any entrant or entry. Any attempt to obtain additional entries, beyond ways listed above, will cause entrant and all entries by that person to be VOID.
