For all of your holiday needs, an Energizer Battery giveaway
No matter what ends up on my kids’ wish lists this year, mine always has the same item at the top: lots of batteries. Trust me, there no greater eggnog buzzkill than having to hijack a couple of AA’s from the remote control to get a new toy to work on Christmas morning.
Whether you need some for a photo of the extended family gathered at the dinner table, or to charge up the video camera for your kids star turn in the Christmas play, batteries are something every Momma should stockpile beforehand to get us through the holidays.
Energizer wants to help us out. The company says it will give two Whoa, Momma! readers a charger and set of their new EnergizerR 2450mAh Rechargeable batteries. These batteries can be charged up to 500 times. The new battery will continue to last up to four times longer than EnergizerR MaxR batteries in digital cameras, but now holds more of a charge at six months than the previous Energizer Rechargeable AA. That should keep you going and going and going through the entire holiday season.
(Sure, you may find that bunny really annoying, but the company is giving stuff away to help Mommas so we're willing to cut them some slack.)
All you have to do is email us at GoMomma@TampaBay.com by midnight on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 to be entered into our random drawing for the charger and batteries.
Please include your name, address and phone number in the email and put Energizer in the subject line (don't worry, we won't post that personal info on the site -- we just need it for verification). We will notify the winners only. If you have already won a Whoa, Momma! drawing in the past three months, you will not be eligible for this contest. We just want to spread around the holiday cheer -- while we have the energy.

THE AUTHORS
Sharon Kennedy Wynne has sunscreen in her blood. She may have been born in Buffalo but she got here as fast as she could, in time for kindergarten. She grew up in St. Petersburg, graduated from the University of Florida journalism school, and even got married at Sunken Gardens. She's one of the few adults we know who actually loves taking her kids to the beach. She has two sons and with 10 years of parenting under her belt, she's starting to feel a little less out of her league. She comes from a large family and loves to debate, so brace yourself when the hot topics come up.

Freelance writer Courtney Cairns Pastor wasn’t so sure about having kids and how she would balance child-rearing with her journalism career. It turned out that her journalism training went to good use. As the mom to a funny, active toddler, she learned to handle him like she did her sources. Never ask yes or no questions (the answer will always be no), get him to be specific (are you crying because you’re wet or your tooth hurts?) and be prepared for anything because no two days are the same. When she’s not playing trucks, Courtney crams for her book club, trains for races and occasionally bursts into showtunes. E-mail her at 
Suzannah DiMarzio has it bad for the Mouse. Although she grew up outside of Boston, she took her degree in tourism management down to Orlando just to work at Disney and the travel industry. Of course, when she married her high school sweetheart, the reception was at Disney. She’s now a seasoned stay-at-home mom to two tweens and a toddler – and yes, that is as crazy as it sounds.
