Couldn't go to BlogHer this year?? Well that's o.k.! Because as small as my blog is, I decided to start an “I can’t go to BlogHer” blog hop! How does this work? I would love to have you write a post on why you can’t go to BlogHer, but that is not required! If you just want to link up you can! Just put in your main blog link, or a link to any post in your blog, and I will pop over and visit you and maybe even share your sad story about why you can’t attend BlogHer this year!! Have time to blog hop? Then just visit as many people as you can in the Linky!
But wait….there is more. If you even comment on this post, you will be entered into a wonderful Giveaway drawing for a $50 Target gift card. Yes, all you have to do is comment!! Additional entries will be added at the end of this post!
But first I must bore you with the details of me!!
I am a full time work outside the home mom as a Transit Specialist with a local government's Transit Division (i.e. I work my cute hind end off doing anything they need me to do to hold things together, at a bus service).
But the main thing about me?? I am a mom of 2, a 6 year old girl my "Angel" and a 4 year old boy my "Cutie Bug" Throw an awesome Hubby into the mix, and a 13 year old Border Collie and you have me. I started to blog because of the giveaways don’t you know!! If you post buttons, and write posts you get extra entries!! But once upon a time many things changed, and I started to pay attention to these awesome bloggers that hosted giveaways!! I learned that they are real people that are going through many of the same things I do every day, and well….I learned to just Love them!!
But I know you came over for the giveaway right?
To enter the giveaway for the $50 Target gift card you must:
- Comment on this post! Way to easy I know, but if you don’t do this you will be disqualified (I will be checking).
Hey regular readers that are going to BlogHer, you guys can comment as well! All you have to do is leave a comment too!
Please make sure your email address is marked as public in you profile, or leave it in you comments! If I can’t contact you, you can win you know!
For additional entries please:
- Put your blog into the link below and leave a comment!
- Blog about not going to BlogHer (include the link in your comment please because I want to read it!)
- Blog about going to BlogHer! (include the link in your comment please because I want to read about that one too!)
- Follow me on twitter at @coloradomommy (You are now warned that I mostly tweet about giveaways, but please say “Hi” anyway o.k.?)
- Tweet this giveaway every day for an extra entry. You can use this: Anyone One Else Not Going to BlogHer? $50 Target Gift Card Giveaway! Visit A Day With Two to win! @coloradomommy http://bit.ly/bu68T7
- Jump up and down and say “I want to win this giveaway” (Sorry, but I don’t want to make you follow me, or subscribe to me if you don’t really want to. I mean my Google reader is way out of control as it is, I assume yours is the same!)
This giveaway will end on Friday August 20, 2010 at 11:59 pm Mountain Time. The winner will receive in the mail an actual $50 Target gift card.
Please note that I was not sponsored in any way by Target or anyone else. I just wanted to do this for anyone that came across my blog, and for the regular readers too!
And hey, if anyone loves quotes, or posting old pictures please link up to my Meme’s! Here they are:

Hi there,
What a great giveaway! I'm not going to Blogher for lots of reasons...I'm having a baby, I can't afford it, I don't have a sitter to watch my kids, what would I wear?! Lol.
Blogher sounds like lots of fun, and may be I'll make it in a year or two, but for now, I'd rather go to Target ;)
Thanks for the chance to win!

No BlogHer for me either. But, yay for a Target card giveaway!
Me: Jumping up and down and saying “I want to win this giveaway!!!”
THis is a great idea and a nice giveaway. I cannot go to blogger for several reasons - main two - my son (9 mos old) and NO moola.
I just started blogging this year, so BlogHer is really way too much for me this year, though I really would have loved to go! Thanks for doing this fun blog hop and giveaway :) It makes me feel a little better about not getting to go have fun and meet ppl!

I am not going to BlogHer because this is my first year blogging and while my blog has greatly exceeded my expectations, I just don't see the need to spend extra money this year. The thought of going really never crossed my mind! Add 3 kids at home, a grandbaby & hubby and well... I don't know how I'd get away for any amount of time, regardless of $$ :D
But I love this blog hop and the Giveaway! Will be back to get extra entries soon!

Can't afford to go to Blog Her, but am having fun here at home!
Well, I'm in Ireland for the rest of the summer, so BlogHer isn't very possible for me. Plus, even though I blog, I haven't reached a stage where I feel like a 'real blogger'. Anybody know what I mean? :) Anyway, what a great way to celebrate NOT going to BlogHer! Subversive, Sister! I like it!
