I’m so excited about this post, I don’t even know what to say… and it’s hard to start writing without any words…

So I’m just gonna jump right in.  Starting today – We are launching our biggest. giveaway. ever. In conjunction with our most exciting series ever.  It’s one heckuva Mom Favorites celebration, and I’m jazzed.

Have I piqued your interest? I hope so!  Several weeks ago, I started our “This New House” series.  The concept is quite simple: Recently, my family and I packed up and moved a few miles down the road.  For schools, for space, for a lot of reasons.  So I contacted my favorite brands and businesses to work with me in creating a home decor concept that would be 1) Stylish, 2) Kid-Approved, and 3) Budget Friendly.

The response was incredible.  We’ve had more that sixty (60!!!!) companies jump at the chance to share product to review and offer discounts and giveaways to our Mom Favorites readers.  It took a little longer than I had expected to pull all of the pieces together, but we are ready to start.

Consider this post home base.  As we go through each room of our home, we’ll be unveiling products, art and decor ideas, and also sharing discounts and giveaways being offered by the vendors participating in that particular room’s furnishings.  We’ll activate the link on this page for each room, as posts go live.

Each post will highlight great ways to style a room with fantastic DIY tips, advice from our interior designer and professional organizer, and products from small businesses and big brands that combine frugal current trends for you to incorporate in your home.  Discount codes and giveaways associated with that room will also be included in that post.

Now, here’s where it gets even more exciting… every time you enter one of our product giveaways or comment on a This New House blog post, you can claim additional points to enter our This New House Grand Prize: a $500 Visa Gift Card to spruce up your house however you like!
