12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS

I’ve been getting message after message about the discount codes for my 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS. So, as promised, here is a recap of some of the giveaways- especially those offering codes for you! Thank you to every single one of you that entered, participated, commented and followed along. Please stay tuned for one last BIG giveaway surprise coming to you very soon!! EEEEP. I am very excited.

At the time this blog was published, many of these items arrived before Christmas. But, as you know, that changes with time;) Oh and my offer to send a Christmas/New Year’s card is still going strong! Just like and comment on THIS POST. I’ll pick another dozen of you to send one to today.

CHILDLIFE ESSENTIALS

We love childlife!! I talked about the Vitamin D3 that my elf gave to me (and a year’s supply to our winner), but we take the whole line. I say “we” because I often give myself a soft gel, too. Childlife uses only the highest quality ingredients. Gluten free, casein free, alcohol free. Contains no milk, eggs, wheat, yeast, peanuts, tree nuts, fish or shellfish. No artificial colorings, flavorings or sweeteners. USE code ASHLEYJONES on iherb.com and receive 10% off your childlife order. use code ASHLEYJONES.

PEDIPED, KIDS’ SHOES

IMG_7440.jpg

Most days, Pediped shoes are the only shoes my child will wear. He loves that they’re “cool.” I love that they’re WASHABLE (most styles) and promote healthy foot development, so it’s a win-win.

They are still have their own 12 Days of scavenger hunts on their site, so check them out! Hayden is convinced they make “real police shoes!" (see photo). If you have a child starting to toe-walk, I recommend using these sturdier shoes. I have seen first hand (not with Hayden but with others close to me) how they can greatly help, especially the high top ones.

The exact shoe he has on in the photo is still available HERE. And of course, I have to congratulate winners we are announcing today: Kim Pincombe-Cole (@rainesmom), Mary McGrath, and Olivia Waddell! Please email us or DM on instagram. YAYYYY!

MOTHERDIRT

I’ve often discussed the importance of probiotics. I add probiotic powder to my water. But I’ve never added it topically — until learning about it from Mother Dirt. As I mentioned in my instagram post, the real magic is in the A+O spritz after cleansing. That glow (probably the live probiotics) stays with you! This goodness needs to be refrigerated so right now, with a purchase of a kit, you get a FREE MINI BEAUTY FRIDGE. WOW!

MUSCLEGUNS

MY code still works, GUYS! I just checked! Use ASHLEY10 to get 10% OFF the SALE price. I’m not sure how long they will let me have this code IN ADDITION TO THE SALE PRICE, so TAKE ADVANTAGE! Also, it’s free to download their app called DEEP, so I highly recommend getting it. It’s self guided massage (but they add recovery tools and stretching techniques often, so worth a look)! The machine itself is so powerful for such a lightweight tool. YOU will NOT be disappointed (have you been watching my stories!??) Again, use code ASHLEY10. BTW- over a dozen of you have emailed or DM saying you bought this! That makes me happy because I know you’ll love it!

ROKU

ROKU’S new streambar is a 2-in-one upgrade allowing you to easily upgrade any TV with powerful streaming and cinematic sound! (The sound is amazing!!) You do not need a separate Roku player- this is built in. And this system is blue tooth, so you can play music straight from any device (like your phone). Congrats to the winners (there were TWO- Roku through in an Ultra at the last minute!). I know you will love this! AND IT ARRIVES BEFORE CHRISTMAS IF YOU GET IT SOON. AND IT’S ON SALE!!! YOU CAN’T DO BETTER than that! Peek below when I told Hayden he could play music on this and have dance parties—- see his little expression!

I ordered a couple of these boxes for gifts and people were SO happy. They kindly gave a code for our readers: ASHLEY gets you free shipping off a one-time box (subscriptions are always free shipping). If you want to send someone a New Year’s family box- I promise you they will love it! The box pictured about is their Premium Variety box—- check out their family boxes and coffee box with Specialty imported Italian coffee!

MEAT DISTRICT

Meat District really needs no introduction. It’s just the best prepared patties (and chicken wings, etc)out there. Check their site HERE to see all the ways you can use the meat for different dinners. The brand is giving a handful of coupons for FREE PACKAGES OF MEAT of your choice! Leave a comment here below on this blog post (please include a social media handle or also email us so we have a way to contact you).

MICROKICKBOARD

I remember first seeing Hayden on a microkickboard. He was so young, it was hard to believe he could do it. I’m gonna try to look for a photo of him not even two racing around…. He loved every minute. And now, we graduated to a a big boy one. They grow so very fast. His Elf brought him one as an early Christmas. It was actually a gift for mama because it’s the perfect was to get energy out and for me to run alongside. I was very excited to give it to him! We didn’t even bother changing clothes, he went out and rode it in his pjs! I was thrilled we got to give away one of these awesome kickboards. Check them out HERE.

WINE WISK

Wine Wisk is the cutest little wine aerator that doubles as wine glass charm (and identifier). What a unique, great gift for the person that has everything…. or the wine connoisseur. With code ASHLEY2020 you buy one- and get one free!!

CASH GIVEAWAYS were a definite hit! CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS Lisa Magyar and Corina Cadee!. I plan on keeping these up!

NEW MONTHLY GIVEAWAY

If you receive a few things that don’t fit your lifestyle, give them away as gifts! So this will be the box that keeps on giving.

I mentioned it earlier in the month, but haven’t discussed it since. I’m starting with November, the month centered around gratitude.

ps- forgive the random photo….no time to take a new one. #momlife
