Mom Cave Challenge: Win $250 to HomeGoods
Do you have a special place in your home that you go to get away from it all? A place where you can relax and read, watch tv or just chill out and do what you most enjoy? If not, do you wish you did? Would a $250 Gift Certificate to HomeGoods help? You bet it would! :)
Mom Cave HomeGoods Contest: Win $250 to spend however you wish at HomeGoods!
I'm excited to announce a wonderful Give-a-Way Contest sponsored by HomeGoods and hosted right here at Between Naps on the Porch. There will be four winners!
The winner will win the grand prize of $250 worth of Gift Certificates to HomeGoods! There will be 3 runner-ups who will each win a $50 Gift Certificate!
How to Enter: Monday, November 1st:
1. Between now and Monday, November 1st, take pics of the area in your home...be it a little corner or a whole room that is your Mom Cave...the place you go to unwind and recharge at the end of the day. Give us lots of pics...especially close-ups...you know we love the close-ups.
2. If you like you can visit HomeGoods online and copy and paste some pics of the goodies you'd choose to beef up your Mom Cave if you should win. Or just name a few things you'd love to add to your Mom Cave.
3. Create a post about your Mom Cave and what you would love to add to it if you should win the $250 gift certificate from Home Goods. Then stop by for our special Met Monday Mom Cave Contest/Party on November 1st and link up your Mom Cave post to be entered.
What's that...you don't have a Mom cave? No problem! You can still join in the fun and enter the contest. Just take a few pics of the room or area in your home that you'd like to make into a Mom cave. Then visit HomeGoods online and copy and paste pics to your post of some of the items you find that you just might include in a Mom cave if you win. Then tell us why you really should win...why do you need a Mom Cave?
Know someone who really needs a Mom Cave...even more than you do?
If you know someone who needs a Mom Cave even more than you do, visit their home, take some pics of the room where you would help them create their Mom Cave and create a post explaining why they really need to win the Mom Cave contest. Again, please share the treasures you'd buy from HomeGoods online to outfit their Mom Cave.
Don't forget to stop back by late Sunday evening (October 31st) or on Monday, November 1st and link up your fabulous posts for the Mom Cave Challenge! You can watch a video to learn about how to create your own Mom Cave, HERE.
See you this evening by 9:00 PM for our Mom Cave Challenge!
