So, for those of you who are taking the time to read this, not only do I applaud your high patience level (because in all honesty, I’d probably skip past this paragraph too even though I wrote it), but I’ll make it short and simple so you too can get to scrolling ferociously. We’ll be sending out e-mails to all of the winners as soon as this post goes live. If you have won, be sure to look out for that e-mail! Check your spam folder, junk folder, trash folder, whatever folder!

This review is part of our Three Gs For The Holidays event. Visit the announcement post to get more holiday shopping ideas from our Gift Guide, get involved in fun giveaways, and learn how you can help children in need this holiday season!

Everyone say hello to Jafaru! She is our gorgeous pet Giraffe whom we adopted from the Zoobie Pets Safari. Jafaru has been a wonderful companion to Jayden. She’s multifunctional in fact. Standing at 25″ tall, Jafaru is a plush toy, soft pillow, and a comfy 33″ x 55″ blanket. Talk about one talented vertically challenged Giraffe!

Three Gs For The Holidays Update #2

Posted on December 9, 2008 with 12 Comments

We are FINALLY done with all the giveaways for Three Gs For The Holidays! It definitely took longer than expected! I just wanted to put out another update, which will be a little (ok, maybe a lot) similar to the last update.

Remember, all giveaways end on December 14th at 7PM CST! We’ll work on getting all of the winners picked that night, and we’ll announce them all in one post (hopefully either that night or the next day). We’ll also send out e-mails to all of the winners. Make sure that you’re subscribed so that you can be notified when that post goes live. We’d like if all the winners could respond with their mailing addresses within 48 hours so that we can get all of the gifts out in a timely manner!

Below is an updated list of all of the current giveaways and reviews in the Three Gs For The Holidays gift guide. Although we are done with the giveaways, we’ll still be posting reviews of the rest of the items in the gift guide, so be sure to look out for those!

Win An HP Photosmart A826 Photo Printer! *OVER*

hp-photosmart-a826-printer Win An HP Photosmart A826 Photo Printer! *OVER* - Mommy Daddy Blog A Baby Blog


This giveaway is part of our Three Gs For The Holidays event. Visit the announcement post to get involved in other fun giveaways, get shopping ideas from our Gift Guide, and learn how you can help children in need this holiday season!

This is the last giveaway for Three Gs For The Holidays, and we thought there would be no better way to end them off than by celebrating the company that has made this all possible: HP! We have been HP fans for years simply because they make quality products. Of all the desktop computers, laptops, and printers we’ve owned or used, HP has been the one brand that never craps out on us. In fact, we own a total of five HP products, and use most of them on a daily basis. This includes a 3 1/2 year old laptop, nicknamed “Old Yeller”, that still works like the day it was born (and I think it’ll be a long time before we have to put this old fella down!); and the latest addition to our HP arsenal, a Pavilion A6460T nicknamed “The Gorilla”, that HP sent us simply because they are freakin’ awesome! Every picture and video uploaded, every blog post published, every single memory we share with you guys on this blog is done on our HP computers. Mommy Daddy Blog is powered by HP!

mommy daddy blog omg we got an hp


So when we were able to get our hands on the HP Photosmart A826 Photo Printer, we already knew it would meet our expectations. Since Sheena already wrote an extensive review on the A826 (and writing another one would just be repetitive), we’ve decided to create a video this time around to show this baby in action! In the video, we mention a really easy way for you to earn TEN extra entries into this giveaway, giving you a better chance at winning!
