ENTER TO WIN: Cars 2 Prize Pack

June 20, 2011 By Vera 11 Comments

Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car.

But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).

Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.

Summer Boredom Buster Giveaway: 5 DVDs or a Golden Books Collection Starter!

I love summer. All of it. Hot, sticky southern days? Yes, please. Kids home with nothing to do? Bring it on. Hours at the pool and nightly walks and bike rides? Love 'em. Give me 99 degrees any day. I can take it.

Though despite my long list of summer fun must-do's, we enjoy our down time just as much as the next family. This usually involves lots of reading and movie watching.

Welcome to today's giveaway. Here's what is up for grabs. If you win, you can choose either of these summer boredom busters!

Some time ago, I posted a little bit about our Golden Books. These are perfect in a little bag for the car or doctor's office or anytime you need your little ones to just sit and read. Even Charlotte will sit and flip through them!

I'm not just giving away a set of books. I'm giving away a family tradition. Who knows? Maybe these 15 books will inspire you to start a collection of Golden Books for your kids. Think of the memories they'll have of these books 30 years from now! There are 15 books in all.

If books aren't your thing, or you just need a few moments to enjoy your Starbucks, you might choose to win these 5 great DVD's!

These are great to take with you on that long drive to your family vacation. Or, if you just like to see your kids put aside the rivalry and snuggle up together on the sofa, then you can't go wrong with a stack of new DVD's.

Hey, I might even throw in some popcorn! Unpopped of course.

Good Luck! Here's how to enter:

1. SIGN UP to become a follower of this blog. You can do that in the column on the right.
2. LEAVE A COMMENT in the comment section below letting me know you have signed up as a follower or are already one. Also tell me which giveaway you would like if you win!
3. WANT 3 EXTRA CHANCES TO WIN? Add me to your links of blogs you follow OR post a blog entry with a link included to send people to my blog. Let me know you've done it in with your comments!

The winner will be chosen next Monday evening around 10pm. I'll post the winners then so check back to see if you've won! Or, leave your email in the comment. Thanks!
