Contest Closed: Win a $500 Kmart Gift Card for Christmas
Kmart and Izea have hooked me up this year for Christmas. This week I received $500 to go shopping at Kmart. And I also got $500 to give to one of you – woot!
Kmart's Martha Stewart Decorations
My dirty little secret (literally) is that I am a terrible housekeeper. My home is almost always messy with a sink full of dishes. But I have one domestic gene that seems to emerge only in December. I clean my house, I decorate it to the hilt, I bake cookies (LOTS of cookies), and I buy my one issue of Martha Stewart Living every year. I have every holiday issue she has put out since the publication started – as I can obviously only handle the thought of being that organized and domestic once a year. So this may sound like a bad TV commercial, but I seriously went straight to the Martha Stewart Christmas section the minute I got in the store.
I kind of put everything in sight into my cart then had to talk myself down and put a bunch of it back. My tendency to get dorky about Christmas verges on embarrassing. (But not this dorky). I decided I didn’t want to drop all $500 on Martha Stewart decorations and got myself out of that section as fast as I could. I did end up with some pine cone garland and new Christmas stockings – I pat myself on my back for my discipline. 
Kmart Wool Coat
I shopped on Wednesday, which also happened to be my 40th birthday. I should have gotten Christmas presents… but I have to admit I splurged a bit on me (I deserve it! I turned 40!). So check me out in my new wool winter coat. Soooooo cute. And 40% off! Soooooo cool.
So to appease my guilt (ok, I didn’t feel that guilty), I shopped for the family. I don’t know about you, but my kids somehow seem to always have a growth spurt in the fall. So that when I buy them new clothes for school, by December they are already outgrowing some of them. I swear it happens every year, even though I try to buy big. It irritates the heck out of me, so I bought them each three outfits. Now they will at least not be walking around in floods come January.
Craftsman Reciprocating Saw
Then I walked around and was happily surprised to see that Kmart now sells Sears’ Craftsman tools. My brother owns a auto repair shop and he always asks for Craftsman tools for Christmas. So I got my hubby a Reciprocating Saw because a jerk we let stay with us once took his and sold it for money (I kid you not). But now hubby is happy.
Since I work at home, I thought it would be a good idea to get some new PJs, because that’s pretty much all I wear these days. But I decided after looking around that there was nothing there that I would be comfortable showing you that I bought. Everything was either frumpy and made me look way over 40… or, well, erm… the exact opposite of frumpy.
I know, I know, I’m rubbing my shopping spree in. So let me get to it – you want to know how you can get $500 for your own shopping spree, right? Here’s what you have to do:
There are two ways to enter to win a $500 Kmart Gift Card
ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED – GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
1 – Go to Kmart.com and do a ‘virtual’ shopping spree. Tell us what you would buy (with the Kmart Item numbers) that adds up to $500 or less. Make your wish list and leave it on a comment on this post.
2 – If you are on Twitter, simply copy and paste this tweet: “RT @eMom is giving away a $500 Kmart Gift Card on her blog – simply comment or tweet to enter : http://urlbrief.com/7dfb6c”
Each tweet or comment counts as one registration. One entry by blog post comment and one entry by tweet per contest participant.

Kmart is the sponsor of this post and of my shopping spree. IZEA is the sponsor of the Kmart $500 Gift Card giveaway. And I thank them both, because this was way fun.

New on my Kids Activities Network
About Me
I'm Wendy Piersall and I've been making a living as a blogger since 2006. Though for the first few years "making a living" was a real relative term. I started and sold the Sparkplugging blog network, and now I run a new network of kids activities websites called Woo! Jr.
Momsational is my new 'blogging home' where I get to chat about whatever the heck I want. That means you'll find me talking about internet advertising strategy, Photoshop tricks and my latest Etsy find - probably all in the same breath.

But that doesn't happen too often, as I turn down paid reviews, sponsorships and goodies daily. My rule of thumb is that I take compensation only for things I would be willing to write about for free. And since I'm a pretty lazy writer, it would have to be really kick ass to be interesting enough to give it blog space!
