THE ORIGINAL GIVEAWAY POST I HAD UP GOT A CRAMP. Or the flu. Or something. I don’t really know. But it wouldn’t show up anymore. So here is a fresh one for you to leave comments at. Just like the original post. This is an exact duplicate of my original post. The 3,000+ comments that were left on that original post still stand! I have them all in my blog’s dashboard, no worries! But if you haven’t entered yet, you may do so on THIS POST!
Hopefully you read my little review here about my newest fun little technology items. If you did, then chances are that you already want to get your sticky little fingers on the technology lover’s giveaway I have going on from right now until this coming Sunday the 8th of August thanks to prizes supplied by HP!!!
Yes, folks, I have the exciting privilege of giving away one HP Mini 210 in preppy pink to one of you!!
But that’s not all! I’m also giving away an HP V5040u Digital Camcorder to that same person!
Yes, it’s quite the technology infused prize package, isn’t it!? To have a chance to win this giveaway, the winner of which I will announce on my blog on Monday, August 9th, you have a few options.
1. You will get one entry for commenting on this post. Feel free to let me know how an HP Mini and a Digital Camcorder would be put to good use if you were to win them!
2. You can get a second entry by following @MckMama and @HP_PC on Twitter and then sending out a Tweet about the giveaway, something like this: “I entered to win an HP Mini and a Camcorder from @MckMama thanks to @HP_PC and so can you!!” After you Tweet, come back here and leave another comment letting me know you did (and you can link to the Tweet or to your Twitter account so we verify that you did!).
Have fun! And as I said, I’ll announce the winner a week from yesterday. Good luck!
And may the Force be with you.
I have no idea why I just said that. I clearly need help. Or sleep.



























I would love to win this! Thanks!
i would love to win this! i have 5 grandchildren ages 9 mo-5 yrs (henry, soren, ellaiden and liam – sydney grace was stillborn 2 years ago and lives with Jesus. (oursydneygrace.blogspot.com) and LOVE taking pictures of them and posting online!
Congratulations from a long time lurker on your new addition! He’s beautiful!
If possible I’d like to enter in the give away! The camera would be great because my video recorder is so old that it’s the kind where the tapes have to go into an adapter and then into a VCR (hey, don’t laugh!) so I mostly use my cell phone when doing any vids of my kids.
The laptop would also be a blessing…I’m a student working on my bachelors in Human Services and my laptop recently bit the dust and was so old that it was just not worth fixing. Until I’m able to get a new one, my father has reluctantly loaned me his own.
Really nice of you to do these giveaways, especially with a newbie around. I nursed my daughter until she was two (weaned about 3 months ago!) and I know how hard it is to get anything done. Just enjoy each moment, they sure do go by fast!
Congrats on McFlurry!!
WOW that would totally rock my world to win that! I’ve recently gone back to college to get my teaching degree so having my very own personal computer would be a HUGE benefit to me!
Love to win this-but more importantly love your blog!
I’m 14 and all I do all day is sit on a computer that doesn’t move, I need A laptop and a camcorder so I can move around and film things, I feel like I can do more with my life then to come home, do homework, then do nothing except play games on a computer that don’t satisfy me anymore, I want to get out like a normal teen, please help me.

I posted on the other.. so not sure if or which went through.
Id love to use the laptop and camcorder to start some photography to go through the times of my niece and nephew as they grow with pictures and video. They both would help out a ton and be nice to have! :]
I have a 2 and a half year old and another on the way so a camcorder would be awesome! Also my husband and I are on the computer alot so having my own PINK one would be great!!! Thanks so much for this opportunity
If I won, I would give the computer to my daughter for Christmas!
I would love to win both of these! My kids are moving too fast for still photography these days….
I would love to have the video camera to record my beautiful grandaughter, Avery. The computer could then play the videos.
I would love to win this prize.
Would love this – thanks for the chance!!
I would love to win this prize, then maybe i would not have to share my computer with the kids no more hehe
We live and work in the boonies of western Mongolia as missionaries and both of these items would be so great to have….I’ve recently thought that we really SHOULD have a way to take good videos of our life here beyond the capacity we have w/our little point and shoot camera! Even after almost 20 years here, we still have very little *footage* to show for it!! And the little computer would be oh-so-handy for our times of travel. Even though our just-turned-12 yo daughter is not a *pink* girl, per se, I think she’d put the snatch on that thing pretty fast, if I let her!
So fun to see your sweet growing family! How kind our God is….
which mission agency are you thru….my brother in law and his family are over there as missionaries! i’d have to check which organization they are through but they have been there 5 years now and are building a house there to better serve the community!
Here’s my tweet address:

I don’t think I linked to it correctly, but honestly I think I am too pregnant to figure it out…
We are in the process of adopting a little boy from Uganda. My husband and I will be there a week, then I will be staying an additional 3-5 weeks to finalize things. The computer would be fantastic so we would have a second computer to skype with our other children while we are gone. The camcorder would be great to video some of the sights in Uganda for Emmanuel to have to remember his homeland.
Thanks!!
I would love to win th Hp pink think to catch glimpes snd photos of my two beautful grsndchildren that have seizure disordreds… thsnk you
Great giveaway!! My Flip Video has grown legs and walked away, so this would be great!!!
That sweet baby is beautiful!!
Eeek! A mini camcorder be still my heart. I so needed that on our vacation last week.
I would LOVE the mini computer and camcorder! I am very tech savvy and would love to create cool movies of my kids and post them to my blog and send to my friends!!
Oh and congratulations on your new little bundle!
I would love this!! I have a newborn and a 2 yr. old…this would be awesome!
These would be great to win! i love taking videos of my children!!
I’d love to have the technology to help document my 2 littles;) It’d be the perfect excuse to actually do the digital scrapbooking and such. Congratulations on your newest addition. Blessings to you all!
Would love to win that before our next babe is born!!
i’d love this! my kids would love getting mine!
would love to use the camcorder to take videos of my nieces to send to their dad (on the HP mini of course!)
OMG so cute, wish I had a laptop!! My video camera is on its last legs to lol. Super cute items….wont get my hopes up though because I dont think I have ever won a contest anywhere lol!
I would love the tech package….I need a video camera for my 11 month old twins, and a sweet laptop to edit all my pics!
I would love this! My laptop died a year ago and can’t really replace it. This would be awesome!!
We have another baby coming, any day, like my due date was two days ago, and it would be great to have both to share this newest addition with our far flung family!
I would LOVE to win the HP mini laptop and would put it to great use when I start college in a few weeks. The camcorder I would record 2 of the most precious nephews in the world with!:):):)
My laptop is literally on its last days, so I NEED a replacement in a big way. Also, I would love something to catch some videos of my children (I am about to give birth to my 4th in a couple of months).
Life is good!
Hooray! Thanks, Mckmama! And that Lachlan, oh that cutie pie. I know you are in heaven.
Ahhhh… videos of all the things a 2 year old boy says! Or perhaps those are some things that are better off NOT being recorded! But I digress… I would LOVE the “tech pack.” Hmmm… perhaps my two year old can show me how it works.
I would just adore this cute little thing. I have never owned a new computer, or new anything for that matter. The one I use now is a hand-me-down from my husband, it is 5 years old, it has been wiped and rebooted 3 times, but it is simply on its last leg. I am a preschool/daycare teacher now, but i was out of work for almost 2 years and there is simply no money for a new anything right now. In fact, my cell phone is a hand-me-down from my little brother. This computer would be so helpful for researching this fall too, since I have to take some masters degree classes to keep up my teaching license. And that adorable camcorder! What a treat. I could record my students, and my nieces and nephews. They love doing fun tricks for the camera.
Thanks for the chance!
Jackie
P.S. I entered on twitter too!
These toys would be wonderful with little ones!!! Mine would get sick of smiling!
I would love to win! Can we blog about it if we have no twitter?
I would love this! I need a laptop and the video camera I have is 6 years old! Congrats on your new baby boy!
I am following both.
@trooppetrie
As a mother of 3 boys……it would be nice to have something pink around here
Would love to have my very own “place” to store and play around with photos of my sweet kids!
Would love to win these to ‘use’ on my kids!!
I would love to win! I am going back to school and could definitely use the HP Mini!
I’d love to win so we can make fan videos! Thanks!!!
A pink computer?? Awesome!!! I’d use the computer to take to work; definitely more portable than my big laptop.
I would have given about anything to have a camcorder today.
I would love to have a recorder to keep track of my 3 kids!
would so love the camcorder to video my oldest babe on his first day of Kindergarten. Him in all his glory and me with all my tears
. Congrats on your beautiful babe! He is wonderful and so sweet.
would love to win
Awesome Giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to try and win
The baby is beautiful.
Pick me! Im going into my senior year and this would help me soo much! I share a comp with the rest of my family. I truly need my own.
I tweeted for a chance, thank you again!

These would both come in handy for capturing special moments during our upcoming beach vaca!
Wow this is awesome!! I would love to win these!!! Thanks MckMama!!! Congrats on to your family on your new blessing!
I would love love love to have the camcorder for my almost two year old and soon to be second babe. So many memories that I don’t want to forget of them. The computer I would actually give to my friend Kate who’s job was just cut and is going back to school. I’m so proud of her and know she could really use the computer.
Would use these with my family almost every single day
Here’s to hoping I win!
I would LOVE a laptop…..
My daughter receives care at a children’s hospital 2 hours from my home. When we are there for her surgeries, it’s sooooo hard to not be connected to family and friends. I feel like we are in our own little bubble.
I’d love to have a laptop to be able to use when we are there. She will have to have surgeries until she’s fully grown at least, so we’re kinda in this for the long haul.
Congrats on your beautiful little boy!
I would love to win these: I’m an education major in college; the video camera would be great to work with the children and the computer would be able to replace the dying one I’m currently using.
Would love the computer so I don’t have to share with the family, all boys and they wouldn’t like the color.
I have a 60 yr old mother who has been dying for a netbook….wouldn’t mama be so happy if her daughter won!
I tweeted earlier when the post was broken :O)
http://twitter.com/ourkidsmom/status/20330901492
I would love this treat to give my twins for what is about to be a very busy year in middle school!
Of course I’d love to win these! I would love to use a mini to keep track of my family and friends online since I don’t do the Internet on my phone, and who couldn’t use a video camera? I have 3 kids who are always doing something wacky … tons of fun to capture.
Thanks for the chance! ~Melinda
if i win, i will use it for myself to edit pictures of my precious little ones!!!
meeee
oh wow~
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. I’d love to win that computer bc it’s so cute and preppy and i’d love to win the camera so i can capture my wild and crazy little boys doing the wild and crazy things they do! thank you!
a new baby and an amazing giveaway!!! you are really on a roll
I’m so glad I re-checked… glad you got it worked out!
I would love to have the digital camcorder (did I mention we don’t have one and we have 4 kids??) to document our kids lives. I, of course, would love the computer also!!! I could use it to burn the videos I’ve made so that each child could have one of their own.
Did I mention PLEASE? :O)
btw, your son is a DOLL!!! Congratulations are in order! It makes me want to have one more, but alas the factory is closed :O(
pretty please pick me =)
would video my family…and then watch it wherever we go with the portable laptop!
I just got a new job and these would come in VERY handy!! And congratulations on that new beautiful boy!!
If I were to win I would give the computer to my daughter who will be entering junior high this year!
That computer is so incredibly adorable….and of course both it and the camcorder would be put to use on my two incredibly adorable kids!
By the way…congrats on MckFlurry. He’s beautiful.
I’ll love to have one of these!!
would love to have this lovely little lady laptop! so stinkin’ cute and would be so helpful as a 19 year old navigating my new home in DC this coming year! fingers crossed:)
I have a teenage that fights over the computer with me & the video camera would come in handy to record her & my two little ones events & excitement! What a great giveaway.
I would LOVE to win!!!
What a great giveaway:o) I’d love to be able to use it in my classroom with my tenth grade Civics kids. Maybe I’ll get lucky!
These would come iin handy for my growng family!
I love seeing MckFlurry’s sweet face in the sidebar with your other McKids. He is beautiful. Its nice of you to be thinking of others with a give-a-way at this special time.
Oooooo so shiny and pink! I’d love new gadgets like these!
Would love to win this computer for my daughter

my computer broke TODAY!!!
I would love to win!! We have four boys and are expecting again so there is so much life to capture on camera.
I would love any technology advancement for my home!
Yipee Yahooey! What a great giveaway! Am going back to further my education at 46 years old and could use a hip lap top…. or the video recorder too!
Lachlan is absolutely beautiful!
My daughter would love this laptop!
I would love to have either of these-but it would be so wonderful to have the camcorder to record field trips and kid made movies! I guess I will cross my fingers and see
Would love these goodies!!! Thanks for the opportunity
I have a 12 year old granddaughter who would love, love, love this. She is always putting on little skits with her friends. She could record and then just down load them and make her own little movies!! How Fun!!
And I’m pretty sure she would use the computer for homework…..I’m just sure of it! ; )
That little camcorder would loook sooo cute in my diaper bag. The camcorder that we have is terrible!! Did I mention tomorrow is my birthday? LOL
I would love to win!
This would be PERFECT for me! I am starting a new job and need a better computer!
ok..ok… there you finally got me to leave a comment. Something I just could not pass up on.Sure would come in handy with all the kids i have… Got to give it to you,I’m on number SIX and and 4 of them are in 5 years…You know pregnant to nursing then pregnant to nursing 4 times in a row! I love every bit of it!
I would give the laptop to my husband since he’s gone for extended periods of time he’d finally be able to skype with the kids!
I would love to tell you all of the wonderful reasons I NEED this computer, but the truth is, I just really want it. Just being honest!
I would consider it a blessing to win the laptop! I’m a Detroit city teacher(at a private Christian school) whose laptop just died this past weekend. We do everything on computer, and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to afford one! It’ll help me keep up with your blog, and your beautiful little one(s). That new baby is gorgeous, and not all newborns are!
God’s blessings on your beautiful family!
a second computer would be a wonderful in my family
I would love to win this giveaway – Incredible – Thank you!
I have been wanting one of those HP mini’s F.O.R.E.V.E.R. now…I’d love to win. Your newest baby is a doll. Congrats to your whole family.
As a busy home schooling mom, I could definitely use a second, portable computer. And as the mom of two busy skateboarding, swimming, BMX riding, baseball playing boys, I could find something to film with that nifty camcorder! Count me in!
Great! Thanks – so glad MckFlurry is doing well – enjoy!
I am so excited to just enter the contest. 11 years ago I lost my regular voice. I was diagnosed with abductor spasmodic dysphonia, and I’m not able to talk to way I used to. I am trying to continue working to help my family, but I can’t get a job in the regular workforce since I can’t talk on the phone. I recently have a chance to begin writing for a publicity company and I could really use my own laptop. Thanks for the fun contest. And congratulations on your precious baby boy!
I also tweeted the contest.
I would love to win these! Love making memories and hopefully some online classes! =D
Looks like fun!
awesome giveaway! Oh how I would love to win these treats!!
