Here Comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail. Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way . . .

Remember that song?

Valley agrees . . . except for his archrival, evil Irontail. Hop along with
Peter and his friends as they race through time celebrating all of your favorite
holidays to deliver the most eggs . . . and save Easter for children everywhere!

Review and Giveaway: Tiny Baby Jesus

Tiny feet of Jesus,
kicking up a storm.
Angels circling round his bed
keep him safe and warm.
Now those feet are bigger,
walking on the sea,
leaving us his footsteps, saying,
"Come and follow me!"

When we celebrate Christmas at our house, we don't simply celebrate the birth of Jesus. There is more to the story and to the eternal hope that we have through the death and resurrection of our Lord. For this reason, I was pleased to review Tiny Baby Jesus.

While reading Tiny Baby Jesus together this Christmas season, children and families can celebrate the gift of Jesus from head to tiny toes. As they turn the pages, they will discover the wonder of hands that develop into those of a carpenter and swaddled shoulders that grow to carry the weight of all mankind. Readers can share in the humble birth of tiny baby Jesus while remembering the life and teachings of the grown savior.

Tiny Baby Jesus is written by award-winning author Dandi Daley Mackall and illustrated by Julia Noonan. “I don’t think we can talk about Baby Jesus enough—to our children, to our neighbors, or to ourselves,” says Dandi Daley Mackall.”

Dandi Daley Mackall is the author of more than 400 books, including several titles for Zonderkidz such as The Legend of St. Nicholas, The Gift of the Christmas Cookie, the Ali Cat I CAN READ™ series, and the That’s Nat! early reader series. Dandi is the recipient of the 2009 Helen Keating Ott Award for Outstanding Contribution to Children's Literature from the Church and Synagogue Library Association (CSLA). Dandi and her husband, Joe, both write from rural Ohio, where they’re blessed with three children and a variety of horses, dogs, and cats. Visit http://www.dandibooks.com/ for more information.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am pleased to offer this beautifully illustrated book as a giveaway. We have FIVE copies to give to five winners. Be sure to leave a comment and contact information for each option you choose.

1) Leave a comment telling why you would like to win this book.

3) Follow @thriftymommy on twitter.

Tiny Baby Jesus is a hardcover book and retails for $16.99. This contest ends Sunday, November 15, 2009 and is available to those with a U.S. shipping address. The winners will be contacted via email and will have 72 hours to respond.

Bloggy Giveaway Prize #3 - d-CON Bait Paste Pouches

d-CON brand, the trusted authority in rodent control products, recently launched Bait Paste Pouches. They are the first bait that can be placed safely out of the reach of children and pets. The moldable bait is sealed in a plastic pouch, making it safe to touch. It also can fit into small spaces, including crevices and cracks, where mice can get to it but children and pets cannot. It comes in a resealable container to add another level of safety and is small enough to be stored out of reach. And at a retail price of only $5.99, it’s a small investment towards preventing what could turn into a much more expensive problem if not handled immediately. With weather conditions primed for rodent season, which peaks on November 15th, it’s a good product for people to have on hand!

Why are d-CON® Bait Paste Pouches™ a good solution for your household?
Their flexible material lets you put them out of reach of children and pets
in the smallest crevices and cracks.
Mice take the bait and then leave.
d-CON® Bait Paste Pouches™ are palatable to mice.
They are moisture-resistant, so they’re perfect for use in damp
environments and humid climates.

The winner will receive 3 d-CON Bait Paste Pouches which has a value of $17.97. To win this giveaway, simply leave a comment below. You can tell me where you’d use these in your home, what you like about the product, if you have an issue with rodents, or if you’d give these to a needy friend.

This giveaway is for those with a U.S. address only. To see the complete list of giveaways, visit the bloggy giveaways site.
