    I entered the Ben and Jerry’s contest, but the contest like best is the cornbread cookbook, but it was classified as a contest, my speed is slow, and I couldn’t find any freebies.

    Wow - they have certainly updated this, haven’t they? Oddly, it looks like the artist took his (or her) cue from that show Hey! Arnold. Remember? The football-head kid with the tiny hat? No? Just me? Oh, well. Enter me anyway, my 3 yr old would love this!

    My husband and I had five kids and decided we were done with the insanity. So he had a vasectomy. Then we decided we were crazy to be done and had it reversed. Now we have 7 kids! So our little ones are 7 years younger than the older kids. We need new games for little kids.
    Great giveaway!

    I would love this game! We currently only have candyland to play. It’s hard to find a board game that we can all play and enjoy together with the big age difference between my two kids. My daughter is 8 and my son is two.

    Hello, Here is the way I kind of try to live my life. A college baseball coach once told me, ” You win some, you lose some, but you
    have to dress for them all!” To me, there is a lot of wisdom in his statement. Please enter me in your drawing.

    I have six lovely kids, and we try to have a “competition” once a month to see who wins at various games, so we are always needing new ones around the house!!

    I also need some because I have two under the age of two, and a best friend who’s son is due in July, in a few years, they will all need games to play together!
