GIVEAWAY! Memoir of Me

book
Would your child be excited to read a story where they are the star?  Would they get a kick out of seeing their name in print?  There are many different personalized books out there to choose from but now you can choose one that is a little more unique.  


IMG_9443
Memior of Me is a company that creates personalized children's books that will include your child's name, a character resembling them and a letter you submit written to your child that will appear at the end of the story. 
The illustrations that appear in the book are very colorful and entertaining to the reader.  
Book2
The story follows a little girl (or boy) who gets into some bubble gum and trouble while his/her mother is trying to get a letter written.  It follows the character as she goes from the house, to the yard and eventually covers the neighbor's cat with gum all before helping her mom (you) put the finishing touches on her letter.  The letter you submit on the website is the letter that the character puts the finishing touches on which appears at the end of the story.  
Book3
Anyone can create a personalized book for a child.  This is not limited to the parent/child relationship only, if you are a grandparent, aunt/uncle, godparent or friend of a child you too can create a book.
Now, I do want to take a second and be clear about what you get because I was confused when writing my letter.  The website states that your letter will be "weaved"  into the story so I wrote a letter describing silly things my daughter has done because I thought I was suppose to be giving them material for a personalized story.  That is not the case.  The story is a very cute story about a little girl (boy) who gets into some bubble gum, kinda like the No David series, but it does not include events from your letter: only your child's name, a character resembling them and your personalized letter at the end.  
Now do you want one of your own?  Looking for a great Valentine's Day gift for a child?  The great people at Memoir of Me would like to give away ONE personalized book to a lucky reader of Midwest Mommy!  All you have to do is leave me a comment below.  Any comment, if you can't think of what to comment about tell me who you would give the story to.  This giveaway will run for about a week and I will select a random winner after.  The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email or I will choose another winner.
Ready, set, GO!
*I was given my own Memoir of Me free of charge in order to do this review.

This is an awesome giveaway! However, if I do win, I'll have to purchase two more because I can't pick favorites :) Small price to pay for such an awesome product!

I would love to personalize a book for my 3 year old daughter. She would love seeing her name in the book! Thanks!

HA! Random! This won't be random because only ONE OF US found a hilarious photo of a certain mommy at BlogHer09 on her computer this week.

HAHA! Blackmail!

I'm just kidding, it's a very nice photo of a very nice mommy. But my son, who is fighting me on learning to read... every.... step.... of... the way... would love a book all about him.

Jhooper, your rule would drive me into the poor house. But I am very benevolent and let them bring home ANY book they pick out...at the local library. Outside of the "adult themes" section. On Tuesdays. If I'm in a good mood. And they don't bite anyone.

OMG I'm kidding, my kids have never bitten anybody, ever. Stop looking at me like that.

Much love from Washington! :)
