If you are still reading this, I believe you did not read the title or had ignored it. If this was a psychology test, you would have already failed

Actually, this post is meant for me to claim my blog in Technorati only. Hence, the reason I requested you skipped this one

Two of my blogging buddies emailed me to let me know that they are holding their own contests this month. It’s a wonderful chance to win a little something this holiday season.

1. If you are interested in cold hard cash (through Paypal), you should visit Mel’s blog for a chance to win $50. It’s pretty easy to enter, all you need to do : Two things - First write a short post linking to her main page http://www.melinanutshell.com/ including info on this competition.  Then stick her cute little badge somewhere on your site. Contest ends 13th December 2007. So, Mel…..here’s my entry!

2. To win a set of four books of Cleo Series by Caroline Mockford, leave a comment in Kristina’s (aka Mamadiva) post for one entry. Mention this contest on your blog, linking back to her post, and you get to earn a SECOND entry!  So that’s ONE entry just for commenting, and you get a SECOND entry for posting about it on your blog! The max is TWO entries per person! You must enter by midnight EST on November 30, 2007, at which point a winner will be chosen at random. Unfortunately for me, this contest is open to US and Canada only.

Remember how difficult it was to crack your head to come up with a new menu especially when there are so many unfinished chores to do? I have certainly been in that position but I’ve finally found help from this website called, Mydish.

Mydish is the ultimate online cookbook. This website allows you to store and share homemade family recipes as well as publish your very own recipe book with all your favourite recipes. When you run out of food ideas, you can browse the recipes that are shared on the site and try them out. There is even a feature called “Recipe Generator”, an advanced search function that caters to recipe with specific criterias of ingredients, cooking time, special requirements and so forth.

Mydish sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Well, it is, in my opinion and best of all, it is free to join. So all you mommies and daddies out there, hop over to Mydish and check it out when you have the time.

With Christmas coming up soon, I will start reviewing products that make great gifts for the season. The toy that I picked this time is The Flix Video Camera from Disney, a rather inexpensive video camera.
