We’ve made it to the last day of Happy Healthy Mama’s Giveaway Week! I have had a blast with these giveaways. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” It really does feel good to be hosting these giveaways. Jesus sure knew what he was talking about.
Before I get to today’s giveaway, I need to talk about something uncomfortable. Money. You see, I’m not in this blogging thing for the money. If I was, I’d be failing miserably. I actually went months and months without any source of monetization because things didn’t work out with my old advertising network. I just didn’t have the time to research new ones or figure out new ways to earn money from blogging, so I kept doing what I do without getting paid a cent.
Unfortunately, I can’t justify to my family putting in the kind of time it takes to have a quality blog without getting paid for it. You may have noticed that I am now a part of the BlogHer advertising network. So far, it’s been a great fit for me and I love the network.
I decided that another way to help with the whole justify-the-time-away-from-my-family thing would be to open a Happy Healthy Mama Amazon store. I figure an Amazon store is a win-win situation for me and you, my readers. You can buy products that you know come recommended highly. Everything I put in my store is something I’ve used or use regularly and love. In exchange, I can say to Tim, “See! I do make some money from blogging!” 😉
I just put a link to the store in my sidebar (over there—–>), so if you get the chance, browse through it and see if there’s anything you need. You will find a variety of things from food products to supplements to kitchen essentials to books I’ve read. If there is something you’d be purchasing anyway, I’d so appreciate it if you’d get it through my store.
I thought a gift card giveaway would be a perfect way to launch the new Happy Healthy Mama Amazon store! Today I am giving away a $25 gift card to be used in my new store!

I’d try something I haven’t tried before like chia seeds or nutritional yeast. And the toddler books–the 5 S’s in Happiest Baby on the Block saved us 🙂
