The Story of the Sponsorship and a GIVEAWAY!

The contest is now CLOSED!
It all started at LM's birthday party when my dad mentioned a device so women could pee standing up. I made it my dream to find such a device and try it out. After a failed attempt resulting in me peeing my pants I had given up hope. Then I was contacted by the company Go Girl to try their product with the guarantee I wouldn't pee myself. I thought what the heck and gave it a try. Praise the lollipop it worked and I didn't pee myself (you can check out the review here).
After the review/giveaway was done a rep and I from Go Girl started to chat about BlogHer '09 and what a great opportunity it would be to spread the word about Go Girl since 90% of those attending are women. Well, a couple weeks later Go Girl graciously said they would sponsor me to attend BlogHer '09. However, when they went to buy tickets only Saturday was available but it didn't matter to me I was grateful to have the opportunity to go at all. Well, today the rep called me and they got notification from BlogHer that they had an available ticket to swap out if I wanted to go for both days. Guess what? They did! I am going to BlogHer on both Friday and Saturday. Then as a bonus because I swear they are awesome they are even sponsoring my hotel room for Friday night. Was I right? Awesome!
I have been blogging for a long while now and I have never come across a company quite like Go Girl. Seriously I cannot even begin to thank them enough. Three woman from the company are also attending the conference on Saturday because they understand and support bloggers. I want to do something to show them how great I think they are and how thankful I am for this opportunity. So I want to spread the word about how great they are and to do that I am bribing you with a $20 Target gift card. Please, please, please help me out with this:-) You can do any or all of the following:

  1. Follow @Go_Girls on twitter and leave me a comment with your twitter id saying that you are following them (I will check)
  2. Tweet @Go_Girls with a message about when you would use their product or what you think about a Go Girl. Leave me a comment with the tweet url.
  3. Tweet this giveaway and leave me the url for that tweet in the comment section (You can do this once a day, just leave a comment with each tweet url) You can tweet something like "Win a $20 Target gift card &help @midwestmommy http://mommyfromthemidwestreviews.blogspot.com/2009/04/story-of-sponsorship-and-giveaway.html" or something like that (it should fit)
  4. Visit Go Girl's blog and leave a positive comment for them about the Go Girl-after come back here and leave a comment telling me you did for your entry.
  5. If you want to write a post on your blog about this giveaway it is worth 5 entries. Just leave me five separate comments with the post url.
Please make sure you leave a valid email address so I can contact the winner. I will let this run til Monday April 20th and I will use some method to pick a random winner. The winner will have 48 hours to contact me before I choose another winner.
Thank you everyone in advance for helping me out with this. Go Girl has no idea I am running this and I am doing this all on my own as a way to say thank you. I didn't really know how else to show them how much I appreciate this great opportunity.
