*Expired* Giveaways from Me Time

The team at Me Time wants women to realize that time to pursue your own desires and fill your own needs is an integral component to not only your well-being, but also the well-being of those around you, those you care for and love. Me Time should not be a luxury – it should be a lifestyle. What began as a product has developed into a website meant to facilitate this improved lifestyle. The concept of Me Time touches an emotional place in many women, and this fabulous new site would like to tap into that and help women to learn and grow.

Site visitors will be able to use Me Time to network with others around the country; read articles from experts in a variety of fields including motherhood, career, home and garden; and help develop the site into what fits their own needs. As Me Time grows, new products, such as mugs and accessories, will be developed to help the community members not only remember to take time for themselves, but to start the conversation with others about the importance of taking time to learn, grow, and meet your own needs. Readers will also be able to ask pose questions and create a dialogue with the experts on the site. Eventually, the team at Me Time would love to create an online forum where discussions could develop between site users.

11. Kubit2Me – Lil’ Scholar’s Edition A fabulous game for the whole family Kubit2Me is a game unlike any other I have seen or played. My family and I enjoy the Lil’ Scholars Edition so much that I featured this game in one of my Top Holiday Gifts posts this year. One of the best features of this game is the endless playing possibilities. My family particularly enjoys playing with the bonus box of “parts of the body.” There is nothing more fun than having each family member chose a part of the body and explain the ways in which we use it. One of my favorites is when my daughter explained that eyebrows are useful for expressing anger without words. While that’s the case, Kubit2Me is a great way to increase communication within your family!
