Selfish Mom

If you want to enter one of my giveaways, follow the instructions on the individual post. Anything I say on an individual post supersedes the rules stated on this page.

Anybody can enter my contests and giveaways. Doesn’t matter if you know me, are related to me, or just admire me as a blogging goddess. I owe this blog’s success to people who know me and are spreading the word, so it doesn’t make sense to cut them out of the good stuff.  You’ll just have to trust me that I’m being honest about how I pick the winners.

Winners chosen at random are chosen by random.org. Each qualifying comment in a giveaway thread is assigned a number, and then the winning number is chosen by random.org’s sequence generator.  (Or winning numbers, if I’ve got a lot of stuff to give away.) The first number in the sequence is the winner.

Please make sure that you’ve signed in to the comments section with a valid email address, so that I can contact you if you win. Better yet, register for SelfishMom.com and then you won’t be lying awake at night wondering if you typed your email in correctly.

If a contest post specifies that you may enter once per day, that means once per calendar day, not 24-hour period.  In other words, you can enter at 11:59pm Saturday and then again at 12:01am Sunday, and then not again until Monday.

You have exactly one week from the time that I contact you to get back to me with delivery instructions. After that time I will give your prize to someone else, and you will regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. So if you’re going away and not checking your email for a week, well, I admire you, because I’m an email addict. But you should make sure to check if you’ve entered one of my contests.

Selfish Mom is not responsible for anything that goes wrong after you receive your prize, although I’m happy to take credit for the things that go right.

Comments made about a product may be quoted by me or by anyone I give permission to, including but not limited to the companies providing prizes to use in their advertisements.

These rules can change at any time.

Good luck!
