Hello friends and neighbors,

Many of you may not be aware that Romance in the Backseat is offering a very special Month of Thanks this November.  The most exciting part is coming from Silver Publishing, a generous giveaway of $100 Grocery Gift Card.

November is a time to give thanks to those in our life who day in and day out make our lives better. To give thanks to friends and family that year after year support us. This year there are a lot of families and friends in need of some extra support and help. That is why Silver Publishing has so generously offered to help pay for a families Thanksgiving dinner.

Please share the news about this giveaway and join us to nominate someone in your life who could use the extra help. All nominations are private, our goal is to add some holiday cheer and some extra goodies to the table this Thanksgiving. 

I want to thank Silver Publishing for this amazing gift. Even if you and your loved ones are lucky enough to have a table of food waiting Thanksgiving day drop in and show your appreciation not only to Silver Publishing, but to the other authors who have come on the site this month and shared their tales of thanks.  To give us a little more cheer those authors have also offered a book giveaway to share with those you love.

Holiday Gift Guide- Aurora Is Adorable!!! Review and GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

November 18, 2010 by 105 Comments

 Hey there, bloggy buddies! 
What a cute and fun giveaway I have for you today! 
Aurora, as you know, has some of the most adorable (and affordable!) stuffed toys out there.  We were sent Cheeky Charlie and Carmen as well as a Fancy Pals Pet Carrier. 
(OK-OK, I confess!!!  I totally hid the Cheeky Charlie and Carmen for Christmas, but I did give Kamikaze the Fancy Pals Pet Carrier.  She FLIPPED out, and started screeching, lol.  Girls.  (hehe)

These are not only super cute, but also really affordable- they are only 12$– can you believe that???  (one is 13$, but it is a “double”)
They don’t have our exact carrier on the site, but fear not, I have LOTS of photos, LOL.

nice face, Kamikaze!

The kids at the PreSchool also really liked it.  (We “borrowed it” while she was at school one day!)  Little wanted nothing to do with the purse aspect, but I brought it along and the girls loved it.  And everyone loved the cutie puppy! 
Cheeky Charlie and Carmen are so adorable, and you know how much Little LOVES monkeys- so they can each have one for Christmas! 
(and really- for just 10$ and up, you can’t go wrong!!! ) 

Would you like to win your choice of one of these toys?
Here is how to win!
(winner will get to choose Cheeky Charlie, Carmen, or Fancy Pals Pet Carrier– Aurora will send you a great one!)
