I'M SO EXCITED EERO AARNIO SENT ME AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE!

pastil chair by eero aarnio 1967

"the pastil shape can be looked at from many angles. the product shape comes from a small sweetie, pastil, but in this case the idea was, that a lot of empty, cushioned space is sent to the other side of the world inside the Ball Chair. A new round chair would fit in this space, + so the diameter of the Pastil is the same as the opening of the Ball Chair." eero aarnio

I'M SO EXCITED EERO AARNIO SENT ME AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE!

mod*mom giveaway :: 3 tax return preparation, efiling + support $110





mod*mom giveaway :: 3 tax return online prep, efiling + support $110

tango is a new service by h&r block that makes filing your taxes more fun!
i spent most of sunday + monday doing my taxes with the irs online forms.
luckily, h&r block had contacted me recently about sponsoring a giveaway,
so i asked them if i could review the online service first to see if it was good.
they sent me a link to their new service called
tango + i'm so glad they did!
tango includes online preparation of federal + state returns with efiling, live 24/7 tax support by phone, chat or email + year-round audit protection ($70 value, much cheaper than schlepping my files into an h&r block office).
i had already done all the forms, schedules + math the hard way, so i had amounts i thought i'd be refunded, but i wasn't sure why i wasn't getting some of the credits i qualified for, so i really appreciated the ease of doing my taxes again with the
tango interface + guess what?! i'm getting $600 more back from the irs. i don't know why, i didn't check that math, but yay!

h&r block wants to know what
mod*mom readers think of tango + they want you to try out tango free. you don't pay anything until you "file" + maybe you'll win free tango federal + state efiling or taxcut federal efiling!

to enter to win tango or taxcut online preparation, efiling + support,
tell me in the "comments" what are your
favorite
tango features+ why?
(include your email address + web url, so i can contact you when you win!)

mod*mom valentine giveaway :: 11 organic fair trade chocolate gift boxes $250



mod*mom valentine giveaway :: 11 organic fair trade chocolate gifts $250

global exchange is dedicated to socially responsible products + they're introducing mod*mom readers to the importance of "fair trade" chocolate!
284,000 children toil in the ivory coast's cocoa fields under the worst forms of child labor. teaching kids the importance of fair trade chocolate starts them on a lifetime of socially + environmentally conscious consumerism.
all chocolate not certified as fair-trade chocolate probably contains beans harvested by slaves, according to the salvation army's anti-slavery unit.

1 grand prize chocolate lover's gift basket $55, 5 18-piece global exchange assortment boxes $18 + 5 dark chocolate mini bar valentine gift boxes $8

to enter to win an organic fair trade chocolate prize from global exchange, visit the global exchange fair trade online store, read all about their socially responsible products, then tell me in the 'comments' of this giveaway post,
"what are your favorite global exchange products + why is fair trade best?"

fair trade chocolate means it's not produced by the child slave trade

chocolate is the most popular treat used as a reward for kids, but most of us don't realize that every time we indulge our children with a chocolate, they could be supporting the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of abused children in west africa. the world's largest cocoa producers, the ivory coast + ghana, have been found guilty by the united nations + us congress of exporting cocoa made by enslaved children, but they're not complying with penalties + mandates to end slavery. slave produced cocoa is in most chocolates worldwide,
according to the salvation army's anti-slavery unit.
