Winner of the Father’s Day Giveaway!

2011-06-22T17:49:32Z

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers all over the world. We love you and appreciate all you do to keep us safe, strong, and happy.

Congratulations, David. You are truly an inspirational father and husband.

Husband and Father, First and Forever

I know this contest is for fathers, and mine was wonderful; however, I would like to tell you about my husband who is the father of my four children. In March of 2010 we decided that we would take a Cruise to Alaska for our anniversary. We had everything planned and even had our first payment already paid. Then, in April I found a lump in my right breast. It was cancerous. I was devastated! I did not know what was going to happen and did not know if we would be able to go on our trip. I ended up needing a lumpectomy and I also went through chemo and radiation. During this time my sweet husband kept our house clean, made meals, and worked a full-time job.

During this time a friend told me her husband left her when she had her cancer, so one day I asked my husband when he was going to leave me. He gave me a strange look and asked what I was talking about. I told him about my friend and he took me in his arms and told me that our marriage is forever and that just because one of us gets sick doesn’t mean we give up. We stand by each other no matter what.

He has been by my side through thick and thin and has been my caregiver through all of this. We did get to go on the cruise even though it was right in the middle of my treatments. Fortunately, the doctor thought it would do me good to get away. My relationship with my husband has gone from good to the best ever. He is my life and I don’t know where I would be without him.

Congratulations David, you win an Urban Road Warrior Automobile Emergency Kit!

My Mom THRIVES Giveaway

2011-06-22T17:49:56Z

Congratulations to our winners, Michelle K. and her mother, Julie.

Thank you for taking the time to share your incredible stories. We had many wonderful stories to choose from. Reading about each mother was truly inspiring. Happy Mother’s Day!

My Mother

By Michelle K.

Throughout my entire life my mother has been my hero. In my eyes, my mother is more successful than anybody could ever be. She’s raised 5 children, helping 3 more along the same path, all while holding onto the nurturing aspect that a mother has when her children are in need. My sister is in a wheel chair and has needed special care and attention all her entire life. My mother has been able to care for her all while helping all the other kids do their homework and develop into the people we are today.

My mother shows courage every day by facing the daily tasks that lay ahead. She has unimaginable strength and will power to keep going the same way she has been since the day her first child was born. She always shows joy and pride in her children and their efforts throughout the world. She shows all of us love by providing a stable shoulder to lean on when hardships strike into our lives. She is there when we need an experienced soul to seek guidance from to help us see the path that leads to the future that is best suited to our needs and personalities. Some people have only enough love to share with one person at a time, but my mother is so amazing and passionate about life and love that she has been able to love 9 children as well as her spouse equally. And most importantly, she even found time to love herself.

It’s impossible to describe how amazing my mother is. Her name is Julie, and I’m proud to call her “Mom.”

Enter to Win a FREE Harvest 72″

2010-08-17T22:20:57Z

In honor of National Preparedness Month we are giving away our favorite and most popular Food Rotation System, the Harvest 72″. This giveaway is worth $459.99. You are eligible for up to 4 entries as outlined below. The giveaway ends on September 30, 2010 at midnight, MST. So be sure to submit your comments before then! We will announce the winner here on our blog, October 1st. Good luck!

Anyone who comments on this blog entry will be entered to win the Harvest 72″. Each comment counts as a separate entry.

(1) The 1st entry is earned by signing up to receive the Shelf Reliance newsletter. The newsletter is one of the best ways to stay up-to-date with all that Shelf Reliance has to offer, including sales, promotions, new products, and online tools. Receiving the newsletter is as easy as entering your e-mail address in the indicated box at www.shelfreliance.com. When you’ve done that, leave a comment on this blog post. This comment should include your first and last name, along with something like, “I signed up for the newsletter.” If you already receive the Shelf Reliance newsletter, leave a comment with your name and something like, “I already receive the newsletter.”

(2) The 2nd entry is earned by becoming a fan of Shelf Reliance through Facebook. Our Facebook page is a great place to read unique company news, network with other food storage & emergency preparedness enthusiasts, and – perhaps best of all – discover promotions that are only available through Facebook. To find the fan page, simply search for Shelf Reliance in the search bar on Facebook or click here. Once you’re a fan, leave a comment on this blog post. This comment should have your name and something along the lines of, “I’m a fan on Facebook.” And – you guessed it – if you’re already a Facebook fan, the comment should include your name and something like, “I was already a fan on Facebook!” Comments made on Facebook will NOT be counted as an entry.

(3) The 3rd entry is earned by leaving a comment on our blog. Tell us which city and state you’re from and how you first heard about Shelf Reliance. For example, “Provo, UT – Saw an ad in LDS Living Magazine.” It’s that simple.

(4) The 4th entry is earned by following us on Twitter. Twitter users can find us by searching “ShelfReliance” on their Twitter homepages. Once you’ve clicked the “Follow” button to receive updates from Shelf Reliance, just leave another comment on this blog post! Those who already follow ShelfReliance on Twitter are entitled to this entry as well, just let us know you already follow us. Our Twitter updates will remind you of current sales and promotions that you can find at www.shelfreliance.com.

Remember, each of the four comments counts as a separate entry. If you just leave one comment that says you’ve done all four things, you’ll only be entered to win once, so be careful about that! Also, you don’t need to do all four things in numerical order (for example, you could just do options 1 & 3 if you wanted). The winner will be chosen randomly, and we’ll be certain to verify that the winning entry is legitimate and fair. Any entries that aren’t in accordance with the giveaway rules will be disqualified and removed.

It’s time to get blogging, get clicking, get commenting! We’re just itching to give this Harvest 72″ away!
