The "SHARE" Giveaway!!

OK friends, it's time for a little giveaway!

I decided I wanted to have a little giveaway, mainly for the sole purpose of hearing from you! The whole reason why I do this blog
is for you momma's! Ever since I started, I have gotten a ton of great encouragement and feedback. But even though I may get some great feedback, I am no expert blogger in any way shape or form, and I value your opinion! So, I wanna hear from you!!

Here is the lowdown:

All you have to do is leave a comment for me. Tell me what you love about my blog, tell me what you hate. Tell me what your favorite part is of this whole thing called From Mom 2 Mom. Tell me if there is something you would like to see! SHARE your thoughts with me, and you are automatically entered into a drawing! Hence the title "SHARE GIVEAWAY!"

You share your thoughts with me, even share this giveaway with a friend which would make you a super sharer. :) What can you win??



I chose this prize because it really is such a unique place!! Green Meadows Petting Farm in Ijamsville is really SUCH A COOL PLACE. I still remember the first time we took my oldest daughter there when she was 1. She was just old enough to be really into animals, and just old enough to not be the least bit scared to touch EVERY animal there! From the moment we got there, she was running around trying to pet every animal she could get her little hands on! Baby chicks, pigs, cows, goats, horses, sheep, llama's and more. And pig races! Who doesn't love a good pig race? This place is so fun for you and your little ones. All of the animals are so docile and most importantly, the like to be held! Has your child ever learned how to milk a cow? Well they can learn here. The staff is excellent, helpful, informative and just plain friendly!

Here are a few pics I have taken at the farm!!






Would you like to win 2 FREE ADMISSION TICKETS?? Then just leave a comment for me, and your automatically entered!! 1 Winner will be randomly chosen this Friday May 11th! It's that simple!
