Budget Conscious

When I was preparing for the arrival of my first child, I quickly came to realise it was a very expen-sive business. I needed to purchase so many things from nursery furniture to clothes and linen. Most brand name items were way out of my budget, so I started entering competitions online to see if I could win some of the things I couldn't afford.

Where To Start

I started with looking at my favourite blogs and entering their regular sponsored giveaways to win free stuff. Most blogs regularly feature sponsored posts with great prizes and they are usually sim-ple to enter. The first prize I ever won was a gorgeous handmade baby outfit. I simply had to write 25 words about my favourite childhood memory. It was so easy and I was hooked.
