COOKIES (Giveaway)

Happy Wednesday!

Before I proceed with my usual ramblings, I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to everyone in Boston (and beyond) impacted by the horrible acts that took place on Monday. Senseless.

Today is my Uncle Gary’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!). To help him celebrate his birthday, we sent him love:

and cookies:

Gary is a pretty big cookie fan. I think most people are pretty big cookie fans :) Although I love baking cookies, I also really enjoy getting a cookie from a bakery. I have raved before about how yummy Tate’s Bake Shop’s cookies are, and now you have a chance to get your hands on some. First, a little word from Tate’s:

“We're happy to celebrate Mother's Day this year by honoring Moms, Grandmothers and everyone who's like a Mom with our Tate's Bake Shop Mother's Day Honor Wall on Facebook! Hope you can join the fun and spread the word, because we're giving away a Mom's Baking for Friends Basket each week to one winner selected at random from the Honor Wall. 

It's easy to enter - just click the link http://woobox.com/zakfaz and follow the instructions. All you need to do is decide who you'd like to honor, post an image of your honoree and say a few words about why they're special to you. That's it!”

YES! Mother’s day is coming up quick. I think your Mom/Grandma/you would love a Tate’s gift. Want an additional chance to win some Tate’s goodies? How about this Mother's Day Brunch Basket that features sinful sour cream coffee cake, a lemon pound cake loaf, two each of Tate’s heavenly raspberry bars and crumb cakes, plus a box of Tate’s Bake Shop’s famous chocolate chip cookies? Ummm yah!!

Just leave a comment on this post by Friday, April 19 at noon telling me who you would give this gift basket to if you won. And, hey…there is nothing wrong with saying you’d give it to yourself ;). You DO not need to have a blog to enter. Winner will be randomly selected.

Bonus! You can use the discount code mom13 at checkout on the Tate’s Bake Shop website and receive 20% off any purchase until May 12, 2013.

Good luck!!

disclaimer: prize will be provided by Tate’s for free

I am totally gonna be selfish on this one. I am 33 weeks pregnant and cookies sound amazing although with a 20 month old baking doesn't happen often enough!

Megan said...

This year will be my first Mother's Day =) I would give the gift basket to my mom as a thank you for being my mom, I never realized what went into it until I was a mom myself (and I'm only 6 months in, I know I still have a lot to learn and those realizations will happen over and over again!!)
