Giveaway-GoodNites Special Bedtime Moments Contest #3

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Betty from Grandma’s Goodies!

I can’t believe it’s August already! It’s time to choose the second winner of the GoodNites Special Bedtime Moments Kit, and start the third giveaway!

There were 158 entries in the last giveaway, including bonus entries. Thanks so much everybody! I used random.org to choose a winner, and as promised, I skipped anyone who obviously did not follow the main rule for entry-going to the GoodNites site and entering the Special Bedtime Moments contest. So the chances were even better for those of you who DID follow the rules :) The winner is:

Shel from Auntie Thesis, who told a great story about helping her daughter pick three stuffed animals to “guard” her while she slept, and about a special rhyming song they made up for bedtime. Enjoy your wonderful prize!

*****************************************************

For those of you wondering if you can enter this giveaway even though you entered a previous one, the answer is YES!  You can enter the GoodNites Special Bedtime Moments Contest once per day per email address, so you can enter as many times as you have email addresses!

If you haven’t already entered one of my previous two giveaways for GoodNites, I’ll explain what I’m doing.  I was chosen by GoodNites to join a small group of bloggers helping drive traffic to a very special contest.  GoodNites is dedicated to helping kids feel more confident at bedtime by taking away the worry about nighttime wetting accidents.  GoodNites Sleep Pants come in underwear and boxer short styles, so they look natural under pajamas and feel comfortable all night.  With less worry about accidents, kids and parents can settle down for a good night’s sleep.

THE CONTEST:

If you have a special bedtime routine, story, moment and/or tip, we want to hear from you. Your entry could be selected and featured as a weekly “Bedtime Moment of the Week,” and you will be entered for a chance to win a Grand Prize bedroom makeover for your child, an inviting space to share more lasting memories together.

GoodNites “Special Bedtime Moments” Contest and Giveaway 2, Electric Boogaloo

bedtime moments contest

My first giveaway to promote the GoodNites “Special Bedtime Moments” Contest has ended, and congratulations goes to Teresa from the blog Tiaras & Tantrums, who entered the contest and giveaway with a cute story about trying to get herself, her husband, and their kids all settled down to sleep when they are all trying to claim a spot for themselves in the same big bed!

Since the GoodNites Special Bedtime Moments Contest is going until August 14th, and since they offered me three prize packs, I decided to split my giveaway up into three parts to keep it fresh in everyone’s mind. Okay, mostly so I didn’t just post it once and totally forget about it, okay? I ADMIT IT.

So that means I’m having another giveaway of a totally awesome totebag full of great stuff!  If you entered the other giveaway, you CAN enter this one. And,you can enter both the GoodNites contest AND this contest once per day per email address, so the more you share, the more chances you’ll have to win a Grand Prize bedroom makeover for your child as well as a special bedtime totebag from me!

And for those of you reading this who didn’t enter last month’s giveaway and are going “huh? what the heck is she babbling about? Maybe I’ll just go read Twitter or something”, WAIT! It will all make sense in a minute, I swear.

So here’s the deal. Here on Table for Five, I am giving away a prize pack from GoodNites, the fine folks who make nighttime Underpants, Sleep Pants, and Sleep Boxers designed to take the pressure off of kids who have bedwetting issues, so that they can get a good night’s sleep. We went through it with my oldest son and trust me, when you find something that works, that first night that everyone sleeps all night, it is your best night of sleep EVER.

GoodNites wants to know what you do with your child(ren) to make bedtime special. Do you read, sing, tell stories, say prayers? Does your child need a certain blanket, pillow, stuffed animal? What about a bedtime snack? Two winning entries will be chosen to win Grand Prize Bedroom Makeovers worth $2500.00 !

The first step in this giveaway is for you to go to the GoodNites website and click where it says “Special Bedtime Moments Contest ENTER NOW”.  Complete the steps to enter the contest.  Step 3 is where you write a short (200 words max.) entry about a special bedtime moment, routine, or tip for parents. After you write your entry, before you click “Continue”, copy your entry! Then, come here and paste it into a comment. That’s your main entry in this giveaway.

o $100 gift certificate to PajamaGram.com

o Bedtime journal for recording special bedtime moments

***EDITED TO ADD: I am getting a lot of comments that just say “thanks” or “I’d love to win”.  I cannot accept entries that do not have the text of the Special Bedtime Moments Contest Entry pasted in. You just have to come up with a few sentences about your bedtime routine with your kids.  Don’t have kids of your own? What was your bedtime routine like when you were a kid? You have to work a little to be entered to win this one! Otherwise I will have to delete your comment.*****
