Good morning, all! And happy birthday to me -- or, more precisely, to Mashup Mom. Today marks eight years into this mad mashup experiment, so thanks for coming along for the ride. Thanks especially to those of you who have stuck around during the recent changes as I settle in to a new path in the New Year, and welcome to all of you who have found your way here recently.

Birthdays are a time for reflection and perspective: Eight on its side is infinity, so let's make 2017 a year of possibilities and growth. As Mashup Mom continues to evolve it may not look the same by the end of the year as it does now, but I'm excited about the journey and what the future has in store.

I'm so glad you're here that I want to give you the presents: Here in my hot little hands I have a $25 Amazon gift card and two $5 Starbucks gift cards to give away. Want one?

  • For your chance to win, just comment here with something (anything!) positive -- because we could all use a little online positivity right now, don't you think?
  • For a bonus entry, follow Mashup Mom on twitter, on Facebook, or on Instagram and then come back and comment with which one you chose.

There's a maximum of two comments per household, and I'll pick three random gift card winners from all comments received. Comment to enter through 11:59 PM Central on Monday 1/30/17, and U.S. residents only, please. (ONLY comments on the blog will count as entries, NOT social media or email comments.)

  1. Happy Birthday Mashup Mom! Your site has save me so much money. It's something to look forward to every day. Keep up the good work

  2. Happy 8th year! I am just glad you decided to keep the blog going, no matter which direction it goes! Healthy living is probably actually more important than saving money. But we still love to coupon and deal hunt and save $$$!

  3. Thank you for the last several years of help! I saw you at the Plainfield Library years ago and have been hooked on your site ever since. Love your new additions/changes. Happy birthday! Many more.

  7. Happy Birthday! I am still laughing over your older son getting stuck in the car cart at Ultra I believe while you took the younger one to the gross bathroom. (how many years ago was that?) Also still laughing over the ball through the picture window courtesy of the neighbors lawn care service. (Which was just before the car cart incident.)They are worth re-posting if you can find them. Love current BLK stories and the deals. Thank you Rachel!!

  8. Happy Birthday! I ran a half marathon this morning and just saved $5 on an upcoming race. Promo codes are the best! 🙂

  9. Also - I just started following you on Instagram! Thanks so much for this giveaway - Starbucks and Amazon are my fave! 🙂
