Bloggy Giveaway - Starbucks Card


So, I started with WFMW and thought I'd end the day with a bloggy giveaway. I've only recently found this wonderful carnival and thought I'd join in this week. So I'm giving away a $10.00 gift cards for Starbucks.

So leave a comment with the following info:
1. Name (and e-mail if you're not signed in to blogger)
2. What is the biggest obstacle you encounter in your daily life (ie: messy kids, messy husband, small home)

I'll be using a random number generator on Sunday, February 3rd to choose the winner and will be sending out the card on Monday!

I look forward to hearing from you!

UPDATE: The contest is over and the card has been won by "Seven"! Thanks for playing!!!

My biggest obstacle is without a doubt myself. Every day I put up a new roadblock, whether it's not meeting my goals or not following through with promises to myself. Just little things that would make my own life easier.

My biggest obstacle is my puppy who is 5 months old and chews up things when I'm not looking. Today I came home to a gift bag chewed up and a bag of beads broken into (I am a jeweler). Not so bad, right? But the worst thing was he chewed the cord to my hot glue gun which I have had since I was about 19 years old. I'm heart broken. Fortunately for him it wasn't plugged in! (Now I'm secretly wishing it was!) Just kidding. I love him to death but when will this ever stop? Two nights ago it was a $10 bill and a birthday check I still hadn't cashed! Argh! The bank took the $10 bill ut the check has to be re-written. HELP! You can see a picture of this cute little guy at my blog under "read more about my family" in the first post.

Jon and Sarah said...

my biggest obstacle is coming up with something for my family to eat each day.

Emily (Laundry and Lullabies) said...

My biggest obstacle (as well as biggest joy!) is my two little boys. They're nearly three and nearly one, and it is completely impossible to keep up with the toys and the laundry - they are EVERYWHERE.

So every now and then I need to escape to Starbucks. :)

Christine said...

As a mom of six little ones, I would have to say that the biggest daily obstacle would have to be the laundry.... Ugggh!!!!

Paisley said...

Great giveaway! My biggest obstacle is not hitting the snooze button in the morning!

Jhianna said...

I'd have to say that I'm my own worst obstacle. If I'd get out of my own way, then things would go much smoother...

Techchick said...

Hi! Thank you for having such a great giveaway! So much fun!
My biggest obstacle is money...I lost my job a year ago, and while I found a new job 4 months later, it is for about 2/3 of what I made before. So trying to raise my two children on a much tighter budget is really, really hard and quite stressful. However, times will get better and we still eat and have a home to live in, so we are really quite blessed. Thanks..

Tania said...

I guess my biggest daily obstacle would be getting my butt out of bed. I've been off work for 2+ years now due to carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia. I am supposed to be getting another position and going back to work but there seems to be some kind of a hold-up on it. Other than that of course, my messy disorganized house doesn't help me much. My hubby is the complete opposite of me when it comes to organization - he has none and I used to live by it religiously. So eventually my house was taken hostage by the clutter and I'm just too tired and sore now to even know where to start. So I would love some Starbucks!

Heather said...

My biggest obstacle is definately when my three year old decides to dump out every toy we own.

Krista said...

The biggest obstacle in my life is laziness/selfishness. ie, what have I been doing all week, but entering contests? Yikes!

Tes283 said...

Biggest...hmm. I have a bunch of small ones that I move around, re-organize and sometimes get to throw out.

It seem like at time they group togehter and are transformed into mountain of obstacles, so I then chip away at the mountain until it is a mole hill again.

One step at a time.

Just breath.

this too will pass.

Thank you

I have 7 messy kids and a lazy husband and self. It is hard to deal with the household while being as tired as I am. And I like the computer way too much. It's a challenge, constantly.

Nancy said...

Please enter me in the contest!!
Thanks, Nancy

craftytammie said...

please enter me! my biggest obstacle these days is that we can't play outside - too cold, too muddy, too yuck. so we all have cabin fever!

Sarah @ Ordinary Days said...

Hi! I'm Sarah. And my biggest everyday obstacle is probably keeping my patience with my boys. I have three, ages 4, almost 3 and 11 months, and they can wear me down pretty fast. What a fun way to get more out of your comments than "Count me in!" or "Great prize! Pick me!" You're very creative.

Kim said...

My biggest obstacle is that I am the world's best procrastinator and there just are not enough hours in a day.

Ginny said...

My biggest obstacle is keeping up with the daily messes, seems like all I do is pick up the same things & I can never get any deep cleaning done. Worse if I fall behind a day because then I can catch up.

Britt said...

Great giveaway! My biggest obstacle is the traffic :( It's horrendous!

kamewh said...

Doreen said...

The biggest obstacle that I face is where I work at--a Special Needs School and is THE toughest job I've ever had in my life. It's hard work and trying to keep the kids on task and everything. I come home like everyday exhausted. :(

Fiddle D. Dee said...

My biggest obstacle is also my biggest pleasure! So I guess they balance themselves out! Thanks for the offer!

Amy L said...

Starbucks, Yeah!

SimplyBillie said...

My biggest obstacle is time-management. It seems to be an ongoing struggle. :)

Sorry I had to delete my last comment because I forgot to share my biggest obstacle. Worry. Worrying about things I cannot change and have no control over. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

Genevieve P said...

My biggest obstacle is remaining patient with my children--all 4 of them. The oldest is 4...

The biggest obstacle is finding quality time. There are not enough hours in the day to get things done like work, chores and home projects.

Rebecca said...

My biggest obstacle would be finding the drive to keep my house clean when the kids keep messing it up again - such a thankless job!

Crystal F said...

It is def. my messy girls. I love them to death but boy are they messy. lol Thank you!

Taryn said...

Thank you for you having such a generous giveaway! I would LOVE to win!

My biggest obstacle is lack of sleep. My toddler is an all night nurser and I'm too tired to try and stop. LOL

Jeni said...

My biggest obstacle is too much clutter, and not wanting to get rid of any of it. I love all my junk!

Currently, my biggest obstacle is my unemployed husband!

Brandi said...

A huge obstacle right now is the fact that my grocery budget has been cut by $80.00 a month. It really stinks b/c I try to buy healthy food and it seems to cost more!

I do love Starbuck's Green Tea Frappucinos!

Angela said...

My biggest obstacle is too much work, not enough time or money. I'd love to spend more time with my family, but the bills have to be paid.

Momof4 said...

I'd love a chance to win a Starbucks card! My biggest daily obstacle, I'm embarrassed to admit, is not enough sleep. It's my fault that I go to bed too late, but DH gets home from work late, and it feels like I don't get enough time with him if we go to bed earlier than midnight. Then I'm chronically too tired to be on top of my game.

Shelly said...

I would love this!

My biggest obstacle...being away from my home church after a big move.

CozyMoments said...

I would love to be entered in your giveaway! :) Thank You. :)

Tara said...

Hmm biggest obstacle.... keeping the house picked up.

Unknown said...

I think the hardest thing to do is to slow down enough to enjoy my daughter. Laundry, dishes, housekeeping, cooking, etc. and all those other things on my list keep me running all day. I'd love figure out the art of letting it all go. Something tells me when I do I'll feel far better. Thank you for your fun giveaway!

Amber said...

My biggest obstacle of the day is my youngest son, age 2, who is the pickiest eater ever (or at least it seems that way!). One day, he'll eat something and the next he won't. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

jennifer57 said...

keeping the house clean after 3 kids running thru it all day ;)
