I am delighted to announce – drum roll, please – that I have teamed up with Protect-A-Bed to bring you the biggest contest yet!
Picture this: you and one other person on an all-expenses-paid three-night, four-day cruise to the balmy and beautiful Caribbean! Yep, airfare is included – from your hometown to Miami – the whole bit!
Great food, live entertainment, a movie theater, dancing, special interest classes, golden sands and glowing sunshine - the cruise experience awaits you.
If you’re sitting there, reading, and thinking, “Protect-A-Who?” – then, I have an introduction to make. Protect-A-Bed, meet you. You, meet Protect-A-Bed, “inventors of the very first ultra thin mattress protector, available in all bed sizes including cribs for babies.”
Quick question – do you:
- Co-sleep with your baby
- Have one or more little ones sleeping in a crib or toddler bed
- EC your baby/toddler
- Have a toddler or older child who is potty training or occasionally wets the bed
- Suffer from allergies or have children that do
- Let your pet(s) sleep with you
- Experience incontinence
- Sleep on a mattress
You don’t have to answer out loud (No worries! Even if you do, I won’t hear you!), but if you said, “yes” to any of those scenarios, you will love Protect-A-Bed mattress covers! They protect your mattress from poop, pee, vomit, apple juice, just about anything – and, by doing so, bring you incredible peace of mind and a better night’s sleep. I know this from experience. You can read my reviews here and here.
Back to the cruise, here’s how to enter:
STEP 1: (you can do just A, B, or C):
A. Purchase a Protect-A-Bed mattress cover from myprotectabed.com. Be sure to use discount code MM01 for 10% off your purchase and to copy/save your order number(s). You will receive 1 entry for every cover that you purchase. You can purchase as many covers as you want/need.
B. Bloggers: Write a unique post about this contest (and link to the Protect-A-Bed website and this post) or write about your experience using Protect-A-Bed products (and link to the Protect-A-Bed website and this post).
C. You may enter the Contest online without making any purchase or writing any blog post by skipping straight to Step 2 below and completing the Contest entry form at http://metropolitanmama.net/contest.
STEP 2:
Fill out the “Sail Away to a Good Night’s Sleep” entry form by clicking on “Contests” at the top of page. Have your order number and/or blog post link ready. You will also need to pick your “referring” blogger – meaning who you heard about the contest from.
All entries must be received between June 1st, 2008 and September 1st, 2008.
The Grand Prize winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to a three-night, four-day cruise to the Caribbean (including airfare) OR the winner may opt to receive a $1,000 cash prize. See Official Contest Rules here. [NOTE: You will be responsible for obtaining a passport prior to the trip].
Additionally, there will be a weekly winner every week of the promotion and a monthly winner every month of the promotion. The weekly winners (to be drawn on 6/2, 6/9, 6/16, 6/23, 6/30, 7/7, 7/14, 7/21, 7/28, 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, and 8/25) will each receive two Protect-A-Bed pillow protectors. The monthly winners (to be drawn on June 30, July 30, and August 30) will each receive a $200 gift card to Outback Steakhouse. All weekly and monthly winners will also be put “back in the hat” for the grand prize drawing.
Thanks everyone and BEST WISHES…as you set sail to a better night’s sleep (and hopefully to the Caribbean this fall!).
