From Rachel Ray (saving my marriage) to America’s Test Kitchen, I’ve been in a cooking mood this week at MommaSaid. So I’m going to give away something that will help you cook whether you’re a gourmet chef or a reheat-the-pizza kind of person.

THE FREEBIE
America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking for the Nintendo DS and a red apron. (You need a DS system to use it.) Rated E for everyone. Retail value of the game is $19.99.

WHY THAT’S COOL
This “private cooking instructor” will help you and your family make up to 300 recipes created by the experts at America’s Test Kitchen, the popular public television cooking show. Here are some of its features:

HOW TO ENTER:
Leave a comment under this blog telling us how feel about cooking — love it, hate it, don’t feel one way or the another about it — and why. Winners will be selected at random by Random.org.

DEADLINE:
Monday, March 29th at noon ET.

OPEN TO U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY. ONE ENTRY PER E-MAIL ADDRESS. (MULTIPLES WILL BE DELETED.)

ALL COMMENTS ARE MODERATED BY ONE VERY BUSY MOM SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. EVEN IF YOU CAN’T SEE YOUR POST RIGHT AWAY, KNOW THAT WE GOT IT AND WILL POST IT AS SOON AS MOMMA CAN SIT DOWN.

Note: MommaSaid received this game and the apron from Nintendo and decided to give it away. We also got a Nintendo DSI XL and another really cool game called Wario Ware: DIY, but my son has spent his past two sick days creating his own video games with those and I plan to post something about them soon.

The Bottlebag Plus, a multi-pocketed tote to transport essentials from water to wine, beach gear and more. In "French Twist." Valued at $41.95.

The Clever Container craze hasn’t yet hit my neighborhood, but I can see why it likely will. The home parties for cool organizing gear are not only a great excuse to get out with friends (and perhaps drink wine), Clever Container has great stuff.

THE FREEBIES
One lucky MommaSaid reader will win a Bottlebag Plus (retail value $41.95) and a ZipVac Starter Pack (retail value $28.95).

WHY THAT’S COOL
Founded by two friends, Karen Eschebach, a professional organizer, and Jennifer Weaver, a stay-at-home mom, Clever Container has fabulous products to help you organize your life. Featured on Good Morning America, Clever Container isn’t your mother’s Tupperware party.

The ZipVac Starter Pack allows you to seal in freshness for meat and other perishables. The starter pack comes with 1 manual hand pump, six Quarter-sized bags, 6 gallon bags, 2 two gallon bags and two utility bags.

Though I’m a fan of e-cards, and Facebook’s birthday list has saved my behind a few times, I do love an old fashioned hand-written card. They’re personal, special and you can’t delete them. If you love sending cards the old fashioned way, you’ll love JackCards.com.

THE FREEBIE:

Three lucky MommaSaid readers will win a $20 gift card to Jack Cards!

WHY THAT’S COOL

Founded by two friends—Katherine Santer and Kim Dowds- Jack Cards is designed for busy people who value sending a handwritten birthday, anniversary or ‘miss you’ card but find it hard to get to a card shop or post office on time. In just three simple steps, you can rest easy, knowing that you’ll never miss another holiday, anniversary, graduation or friend’s birthday again.

First you sign-up as a Jack Cards member (FREE!) and add important dates. Then, browse the online store and pick the perfect cards – everything from modern designs to hilarious observations, beautiful creations and kid-friendly styles. Finally, you select your address and stamp options. Jack Cards remembers important dates for you, addresses and stamps your envelopes and delivers each card to your home or office, just in time for you to personalize and send.

“A handwritten card can be the simplest yet most memorable way you can share a moment, a thought, a toast with a friend – a paper greeting card is a very personal gift that can be kept and cherished for years,” said Katherine Santer, Co-Founder of Jack Cards. “Jack Cards makes it easy for people to surprise and delight their friends with uniquely hip, witty and beautifully crafted cards they wouldn’t find in the local drugstore.”

Jack Cards makes it easy to keep our etiquette in check and stay thoughtful despite our busy days.

HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment under this blog post telling us who you’d send actual paper greeting cards to for your chance to win. Three winners will be chosen at random by Random.org.

DEADLINE: Monday, March 15th at noon ET.

 Next week is National Sleep Awareness Week. We at MommaSaid want you to be aware that there is sleep, even if you’re not getting any.  At the end of the week, we will spring forward our clocks for Daylight Saving Time – and lose an entire hour of sleep.

Sigh.

THE FREEBIE: 

WHAT’S THE PRIZE?
A free Good Nite Lite (www.goodnitelite.com), valued at $34.99. It’s a behavioral modification device that features a friendly, glowing caricature face that changes from a Moon to a Sun at the programmed “wake-up” time, and from a Sun to a Moon at the programmed “bedtime. Plus, signed copies of Jen Singer’s books, “Stop Second-Guessing Yourself — The Toddler Years” and “Stop Second Guessing Yourself — The Preschool Years,” 2010 gold Mom’s Choice Award winners, both with chapters on finding that elusive sleep.

CoolMomPicks.com reviewed Jen’s books, saying, “Jen has bestowed us with the rare parenting guides that actually give parents the shot of confidence we need to survive another day. Or sometimes, just another five minutes.”

WHY THAT’S COOL:
The Good Nite Lite can help parents and their kids make the transition smoothly, learning healthy and acceptable sleeping habits. With the help of their parents, children rapidly come to associate the moon image with the knowledge that it is still bedtime and the sun with the idea that it is the correct time to wake up. During the day, the Good Nite Lite automatically shuts off to eliminate any distractions and to conserve energy. Created by a father after his children would wake up at 5:00 a.m. every morning, regardless of what time they went to bed, the Good Nite Lite is available at www.GoodNiteLite.com for just $34.99. While the Good Nite Lite was not designed to aid children with special needs, it has also been a great tool for assisting individuals and families who have been affected by poor sleep (autism, hearing impairment, etc).

 And Jen’s writing has been known to make coffee come out of moms’ noses on occasion.

DEADLINE: Noon ET on Monday, March 8th. A winner will be selected at random by Random.org. Good luck!
