eBay Celebrates Moms, Memories with Twitter Party and $100 GC Giveaway

April 27, 2012 By Leticia

Time spent together completing holiday baking projects, going on bike rides, digging in the yard, taking summer road trips, and vacations spanning the globe are some of the fondest memories that I have of growing up. I love that my parents found time for us to spend together to strengthen our family bonds and plan to do the same for our kids.  I always wonder what childhood experiences will become lifelong memories for our children.
This year eBay is creating new memories, remembering favorites from years past, and wants to know what memories you are looking forward to making with your family this year. Since eBay realizes how instrumental moms are to holiday memories and wants to celebrate the heartwarming, funny, ridiculous, crazy or unbelievable memories, they’re celebrating with a gift guide that helps buyers shop for Mother’s Day gifts, an upcoming Twitter party with Splash Creative Media and the giveaway below.
Twitter party details:
  • Date/Time: Tuesday, May 1st. 12-2pm PST.
  • Location: The official party hashtag is #eBayMom, but there’s no need to rush to your usual Twitter chat hangout! Just hop over to www.ebay.com/partyformom to party with us in style! We have everything taken care of.
  • Prizes: It wouldn’t be a party without a few prizes and this one is no exception. Every 15 minutes we’ll be picking a winner of a $25 eBay gift card. Start browsing now, so you know exactly what you’ll treat yourself to!
  • RSVP using the linky below or visiting our site!

GIVEAWAY: Win a $100 eBay gift card to purchase a great gift for yourself or Mom this Mother’s Day.

To enter: Leave a comment about your favorite childhood memory involving your mom or since you became a mom along with your Twitter handle or email and a winner will be selected on May 1. For complete giveaway details, visit my Official Sweepstakes Rules.

In addition to the above, eBay has the following sweepstakes with even more prizes in honor of Mother’s Day:

    This has more to do with my sister than me, but I can remember when my sister baked alone for the first time. My mother laughed so hard she cried when she learned my sister followed the directions on the box and stirred the batter “by hand”. My mother is pretty unflappable, but that really got her going that day :).

    Oh gosh, I have too many favorite memories of my mom to just pick one. They are all precious. One specific is that when I was around 9 I wrote a mother’s day poem for her and sent it to a local paper that was accepting submissions for a mother’s day special. The look on her face when I showed the paper to her is a good memory for sure. 🙂

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    I remember distinctively heading out on Saturday mornings with my Mom to catch all the wonderful yard sales. She was the first person to teach me that you did not have to compromise your style in order to save money. We found some great items at the yard sale. ‘Til this day, I love going to thrift and consignment shops to find great deals.

    My favorite Mom memory is my Mom at all my horse shows when I was in 4H as a kid. She stood there ALL day sometimes with me waiting and helping out so I could live my child dream of showing horses. She bought me the best horse she could and that horse taught me more lessons than anyone ever could! @UnKatchable73

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
