Because I’m all about the funny, I’m slipping one of these Parenting Flashcards by KnockKnock in each one of the Christmas cards I’m sending out.

Seriously, funny.

While we were going through the pack of cards, Sir and I picked out two for ourselves to keep. We’re hoarders like that.

The one I kept – Momtrepreneur:

Patrick kept the one about Poo Finger. Obviously.

I’m not trying to get all *sad panda* up in this joint.

But I do want to be authentic and honest and I need to ask for your help.

I wrote a novel-&-a-half over at my Good for the Kids blog about the struggles I’m having with my business. It was really hard to write and even harder now to share.

I know you’re thinking, “Why, prey tell, Angie, sweetums, hotness, are you sharing your novel-&-a-half of Awesome nuggets?”

“Because, honey pie, sugar tits, Awesome reader o’mine, I need your help.”

Basically, this is me down on my knees… *ahem* …asking you to help me.

Plus, to get your attention, I’m doing a giveaway.

Please… go read. I need you. Every one of YOU.

In case you’ve been living offline for the last week (and dude, get a life. online.), you know about Cyber Monday. What the heck is Cyber Monday? Cyber Monday is the Monday (duh) after Black Friday when people go back to work, kids go back to school, and us shopping adults spend our day recuperating from the turkey & the family & the football & the pie (OH, THE PIE) by spending their life savings shopping in stores online.

I encourage you to spend the bulk of your life savings, aka Cyber Monday funds, at my store, Good for the Kids. It’s a good store. It’s for kids.

Here’s my businessy information:

The response to last week’s Black Friday sale was TREMENDOUS.
So tremendous that we SOLD OUT of most of our Melissa & Doug gifts in just 3 days!

Today, we’re stocking up with our customer’s favorites, but once many of the toys sell out, we won’t be re-stocking until after the first of the year. Now is your chance to take advantage of the…

30% off Cyber Monday SALE!

Take 30% off all in-stock toys and gifts with the coupon code below. I already reduce the price of Melissa & Doug toys, so with the extra 30% off, you’ve got a major deal.

With our Melissa & Doug toys in stock, it’s hard NOT to find the perfect gift for the kids in your life. Plus, with their high quality standards, you know the toy will outlast the packaging it came in. (You can’t say that for most toys out there…)
