Time for Mama Snow to "Catch some Zzzzz's"!

For this next week you will have to excuse me while I take a break from blogging. I need to take some MUCH needed time off and catch up on some sleep and take off on a little adventure. Hopefully I will come back refreshed and new! I think I have an addiction as I find myself already facing withdrawals from being able to post. At least I haven't promised myself from checking on from time to time ;) Even though I won't be updating any new post I will leave you with plenty to do to keep yourselves busy while I am away. The New and Improved Mama Snow will be back and ready to go May 4!

BRIDE WARS and Paper Shouts giveaway!!! CLOSED

Recently I introduced you to Paper Shouts. Paper Shouts make wonderful announcements and invitations for every occasion. They have a great selection and a variety of styles. This makes it easy for for you to find the right style that fits you. So wether you are searching for a couture, traditional, vintage or modern look, Paper Shouts will have what you are looking for.

Recently Paper Shouts and 20th Century Fox partnered together to bring you this incredibly fun giveaway!
How many of you remember the day you were preparing for your own wedding. Maybe you are planning it right now! I have to admit I think I got pretty lucky to not have to face too many issues with in-laws, bridesmaids or other brides. I can't say the same for our two actresses in the movie BRIDE WARS!



BRIDE WARS synopsis:Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway), best friends since childhood, are always there for each other, through good times and bad. They even become engaged to be married within a few hours of one another. Together they plan their respective weddings, each to take place at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. But a clerical error and subsequent clash in wedding dates pits the two brides – neither of whom will step aside – against each other, in a competition that quickly escalates into all-out war.


The BRIDE WARS movie is available on Blu-Ray and DVD on April 28th!

So how would you like to not only win a $25 gift certificate form Paper Shouts, but also win the BRIDE WARS DVD! Did I also mention that the winner of this giveaway will also be entered into the Grand Prize drawing on the Paper Shouts website. Prizes include movie memorabilia such as the sunglasses worn in the movie by Kate Hudson and a movie one-sheet signed by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway and the Grand Prize is a great Mexican vacation—6 nights at the CasaMagna Marriott Cancun Resort and airfare for 2 on AirTran airlines. Here is how to enter!

To Enter: You will need to post a comment about which characters style you relate more to—(Emma’s traditional, romantic style or Liv’s couture, “only the best” approach). Also you will need to visit Paper Shouts and look through their Bridal Shouts. Let me know your favorite Bridal Shout card. You MUST do BOTH of these to have any of your entries count.

Cell Phone Cozy review and giveaway!

Since having children I have had the hardest time keeping track of everything. I stopped carrying around a purse, since a diaper bag and purse was way too much for me. Of course my keys and my cellphone gets lost with all the other junk in there. So then I decided on a new approach. No diaper bag unless I need it and I will only carry with me my necessities. This is usually my keys, my cellphone and my credit card/cash. Since I am always dragging my two kids with me, my purse only gets in the way. So I tried pockets. Pockets may be easy access to put things in, but an even easier way to for things to fall out. Somehow my phone and cash were always falling out. This was NOT good. Must I say more?

One thing I love about my blog is a lot of my problems get solved. Like this one. I have been using my Cell Phone Cozy for almost month now and it is wonderful. It is light and I can carry all of my necessities at once. It opens up a secure pocket for your cell phone and an inner pocket for cards or cash. Unlike with your purse, you can hear your phone when it rings in your Cell Phone Cozy and you don't have to search all over your bag ot find it. For your keys there is a key chain fob attached. There is even a wristlet which allows you to easily carry it with you in your wrist. Even when I carry my diaper bag I am sure to have my Cell Phone cozy, since it makes everything so much more accessible.



The Cell Phone Cozy is made to fit any cell phone. You can find Cell Phone Cozy's at Etsy shop, Fancy Ferris. Fancy Ferris loves to do custom orders. If your cell phone's size runs a little differently a Cell Phone Cozy will be made to fit. Just tell them your cell or gadget dimensions in the "message to seller" when you check out. Then they will custom fit your case. They have a great selection of fun or simple fabric to choose from and each one is made to last.

The Giveaway: One winner will get to choose their choice of cell phone cozy.

To Enter: You must visit Fancy Ferris and then come back to tell me which cell phone cozy you would like to have.
