First, Lu (@masmom) and I (@thepsychobabble) want to thank everyone who participated in Blogher@home this year. You guys are the ones who really bring the oomph to the party! We had a great time chatting, tweeting, blog hopping, and getting to know so many awesome new people. Remember: What happens in BHAH chats, stays in BHAH chats. SNORT.

Secondly, we would like to thank our sponsors this year, for the awesome prizes.

Without these wonderful people, we wouldn’t have had anything to give away!

We would also like to thank Kim (@beautifulwreck2) for being a major contributor this year to the site as well as the chats. THANKS KIM!

Winners of the many giveaways, Lu and I will be working over the next couple of days to get your information, and make sure that your prizes are sent out!

ShaunaGlenn Doesn’t Harm Vaginas

ThePsychobabble — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:10:21 +0000

Congratulations to our winner! @PBandJazz DM @blogherathome with your address, so that we can get that out to you!

Or so she claims on her website, Is it 5 o’clock yet??
You can find her there, and over at Aiming Low, on Twitter AND at The Bad Mom’s Club!
Whew! She’s a busy woman. And, besides all that, she has also written a book A Heaping Spoonful.

From the Amazon description:

When Claire Hamilton lost her husband to cancer, her self-image shattered overnight. Once a happily married and financially secure mother of two, Claire suddenly finds herself a single parent trying to keep her small bakery running smoothly.
While she manages to continue her daily duties as mom, boss, sister and daughter, Claire’s anger and inability to move on have her emotionally crippled.
Luckily for Claire, the people who love her refuse to stop pushing her to learn to really live—and love—again. Claire’s family is impossible to ignore: Lucy, Claire’s man-crazy younger sister and employee, prides herself on being blunt and brash, but amazingly loveable.
Claire’s father is an ex-high school principal who, though he is a great help with the business and his grandchildren, can still make her feel like a teenager. Claire’s mother, a southern belle suffering from Alzheimer’s, helps Claire most of all by providing her with a surprising gift from her own past.

A book about the power of starting over? I’m down with that!

And she has graciously offered to send a copy of her book to one of you!

To Enter: Visit Shaunaglenn.com, and count the number of times vagina shows up on the main page! Then come back here and report back!

Regretsy gift will leave you with no regrets!

ThePsychobabble — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:00:02 +0000

Oh Regretsy, how I do love you.
Many of you have seen Etsy, shopped Etsy or maybe even have your own Etsy store! There are some very talented people over there.
And there are some who are not.
Run by the very talented April, Regretsy showcases the OTHER side of Etsy. Where DIY meets WTF.

And Regretsy has sponsored multiple fundraisers for charity. In fact, porceeds from every item bought from their zazzle shop go to charity! How awesome is that!

And she has generously offered up a copy of her new book, featuring some of the site’s more popular items, and she’s including other assorted Regretsy trinkets!

TO ENTER: Go to Regretsy.com and poke around a bit. Then come back here and let us know what your favorite item is! That’s it!
