The 90th Anniversary

KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

Whaaaaaa?

Yes, really.  I don’t even have this bad boy myself, but I roll like that. You matter more. (okay, I kinda choked a little there. But I do mean it, for what it’s worth.)

Look at this thing! Look what it has to offer!

  • All-metal 10-speed stand mixer with powerful 325-watt motor
  • Direct-drive transmission; 67-point planetary mixing action
  • 9-cup flour capacity; tilt-back head; multipurpose attachment hub
  • 5-quart glass bowl, flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip included
  • It;s Candy Apple Red. Candy Apple. Sweeeeet.
  • So, what do you have to do to win?

    First, you need to live in the US.  But only in the 48 states that actually touch.  Sorry Alaska.  Sorry Hawaii.  Shipping’s huge.  So, Continental US readers only, please.

    Second…leave me a comment.  Tell me what you like most about my blog.  Is it the recipes? The stories?  The Mommy stuff?  The behind the scenes look at my life?  These answers certainly matter this time – I’m looking at a site redesign for the new year based on this feedback.  So, don’t say I really like the color.  That doesn’t help. Much.

    If you want more chances to win, here’s how…

    1.Follow me on Twitter, then Tweet this giveaway.  Make sure you come back here and comment, letting me know you now follow (or already do) and that you tweeted.  That counts as ONE, not one each.  Just one.

    2. Become my friend on Facebook, and then tell all your FaceBooky Friends that you entered to win this fabulous machine and give them the link.  Again, this counts as ONE, just make sure to return here and leave an additional comment.

    3. Post about this giveaway on your own site with a link to this post. Return. Comment. Rinse, repeat. You get the picture.

     

    So – that’s one, two, three, FOUR chances to get your name in the hat for a chance to win this Be YOOO tiful mixer.  Even if YOU don’t need it (are you kidding?) I bet you have someone on your Christmas Wish List that would Lurve it.  Lurrrrve.

    And don’t say I never gave you anything.

    Giveaway ends at midnight on Friday, December 11.  GO!

    Hi! I just discovered your blog through someone on Twitter (yes, the giveaway drew me). I love the combination of recipes and domestic hints! It sounds like you are doing a great job of advertising all over the place. I would suggest you differentiate between posts, I had trouble telling the difference between posts.
    As someone who is about to graduate in 11 days, be unemployed in a week, and get married in 9 days, it would make a dream of mine come true to have that mixer…I had always wanted to ask for one as a wedding gift, but as we can't afford a traditional wedding, that won't be happening!

    By far my favorite part of your blog for me (besides the recipes of course) is your voice and your personality that comes through the post! I love it when your posts make me laugh out loud!

    Your blog is the PERFECT mix of humor, "snarkiness," amazing recipes and life! I love reading about your adventures, Seven and even though I can't make most of the recipes b/c of little G's egg/milk/nut allergies, I can almost taste each creation when I look at your mouth-watering photos :) I really do look forward to every post!

    You're a small town girl who's made it BIG! You inspire me!

    I just added doughmesstic as a network blog to follow on Facebook. I'm learing so much about the latest technology. Winning a goregous Kitchen Aid mixer would be "icing on the cake" (cupcake, or cookie)!!! :-)

    I really like the recipes and the stories. Also I think it's really funny that Seven loves Taylor Swift, because my four year old sister loves her also and knows all the words to every song!

    I just found you and there's a lot to like here! I love the "old school" picture in your banner. I found Baking Gals through here, thanks for that, I like it that you are an avid reader in addition to cooking and caring for a family!

    Thanks for the chance at an awesome mixer!

    I wanted to get a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for a long time. I would make so many things from cakes, puddings, pies and even learn new recipes. Owning this would make me even happier to be in the kitchen. I love being creative in the kitchen; when it comes to cooking or baking.

    Thanks for sharing. If you are looking to promote your brand in a unique way or want to add that special touch to your gifting solutions, an ideal option is to use customized gifts like t-shirts, pens, mugs, bags which have your company logo imprinted on them.

    I love the recipes as well as how down to earth you are. You tell it like it is, while also sharing stories from the heart. That makes it so much more personal and it can be related to our own lives much easier.

    My favorite parts of your blog are the cakes and your sarcasm LOL You crack me up ;) Oh and with redesign, please don't do white text on a black background, the white background with black or grey text (the way you have it) is much easier to read :)
