I’m so sorry, I just couldn’t help doing a really cheesy title.

You may not have noticed but christmas is coming. oh right you did notice, oh well… Us web savvy mums know the benefits of shopping online so I know I don’t need to sell that to you so I’ll just let you know about a new online department store – Very (now you get my dodgy headline)

Very sells everything you’d expect from its more well known rivals, including toys. We’re all buying toys at this time of year.

Very are offering littlemummy readers a £10 money off voucher, you can claim your voucher when you open a credit account and spend £20 or more. Just enter the code ZG252 at check out.

My picks from Very;

For Erin – The Baby Annabell Doll that babbles and gurgles, no doubt she’ll end up being renamed ‘The Baby Jesus’, every soft toy and doll at chez littlemummy is ‘The Baby Jesus’. Erin was even carrying ‘The Baby Jesus’ last week, miracles don’t just happen in Bethlehem people.

For The Husband – A pair of these uber cool Nike 90’s because if I have to be forced to look at another pair this week I may have to do The Look, if you don’t know about The Look see Tara @Sticky Fingers or Laura @Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy

For Me Me Me – This Samsung MP4 player and if Father Christmas has the space perhaps he could pop in a pair of those old-fahioned headphones, you know, the ones that look like ear muffs.

So there’s my top picks, enjoy your free tenner.

This has been a sponsored post. What? I’m a poor student nowadays gimme a break

Simples, yeah…

This competition is only open to UK residents.

Blurb are running a competition to find the best book in three categories. You should simply create a picture book using their ‘easy to use’ (and I can confirm that it is easy having made my own) software. At check out enter it into one of their categories; Family, Pet and Travel.

The top prize in each category is $3000, runners up receive $1000.

The competition closes on the 22nd October 2009, when the voting will be opened to the public. Entrants should ‘rally their troops’ via facebook, blogs, twitter and try to get as many votes as possible. Voting closes on the 9th November 2009 and winners will be announced shortly after.

It is FREE to enter the contest other than the cost of purchasing one copy of your book, which is where I come in. I have a £30 voucher for one lucky winner, this will buy them an excellent book as prices start at £6.95. This is a no lose situation, you get a beautiful *free* copy of your book and the chance to win $3000.

Entry is simple, because jumping through hoops is for dogs

1. One entry for signing up to my newsletter.

2. One entry for leaving a comment or link to a favourite photo, on this post.

3. One entry if you retweet this competition on twitter.

So that’s a maximum of three entries per person. You may do one or all.

I’m having a short closing date for this competition because I want the winner to have as much time as possible to produce the winning book, therefore the winner will be drawn on Sunday 11th October 2009.

This competition is open to everyone. Good Luck

I’m afraid there’s a very small catch, I’ll only be sending the code and webpage out to everyone subscribed to my newsletter. If you join my newsletter before Sunday 19th September I’ll be happy to share the code with you too

By joining my newsletter you won’t be spammed and I definitely won’t pass your email on, but you will be privvy to any future codes, freebies and giveaways!

Peggy from CooKin Kids approached me about her Ebook Cookin Kids.

You may be like me, a busy mom, who’s grown tired of picky eaters, bored kids, and fast food. Now there’s a way to solve these problems; please let me explain…

My kids were 8 and 10 when I realized that they really didn’t know how to cook and I was doing it all. This was no good – I was either wearing myself out making hurried and boring meals that they were tired of, or we were ordering delivery pizza and doing fast food. Plus, my kids weren’t learning an important skill to help them through life.

It was time to get serious about cooking yet have a good time with it. I searched high and low and couldn’t find many recipes geared towards these in-between years, so I decided to start a newsletter with easy kid-friendly recipes and fun ideas.

I was fortunate enough to receive a free ebook to review. The ebook includes recipes as well as lots of facts and educational ideas for extending knowledge and interest in both cooking and cultures. The ebook is based around six themes;

The American Diner
Mexican Food
Russian Cooking
Picnics to Go
Native American Dishes
Hip on Hawaii

It’s 110 pages long so there’s plenty to work through. I enjoyed looking through the ebook and feel this is ideal for a homeschooler or for structured weekend afternoon activities, as to get the full benefit you really need to engage the ebook fully, preparing the meals and then following up with the activities.

I have 2 Free Ebooks to giveaway

I’m going to keep this really simple.

1. All you need to do is sign up to the VIP list in the sidebar (you will be entered into other prize contests on littlemummy automatically).

2. Leave a comment on this post for a bonus entry.

3. Open to worldwide residents. Draw will be made by random number generation. Draw will be made on Monday 15th December. Winners will be notified by email.

Good Luck
