I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

    • I would love to win the comforter It is so cold out here. Thank you for the chance. Merry Christmas

  6. I’d take Prize #1, because there is nothing like having a big meal and then relaxing in comfort for the rest of the day.

  25. Ohmygosh, that is a hard choice. Both items on are my want list…okay….I want….um, the…no wait….okayforsure, no, I’ve got it – the Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven aka Prize #2!!

    • NO not #2 number #1 I didn’t know how to look at prizes(figured it out I’m a slow one) and thought I was voting for comfort and that bedspread looks oh soooo comfy!

  33. We have cats who sleep on the bed with us, and I’m much to lazy to bother with a duvet cover, so the white comforter wouldn’t fly. Plus I imagine I could get a ton of mileage out of a dutch oven.

  40. Although I’d typically choose comfort over food almost every time, this time I’m going to have to choose FOOD.
    I’ve never had or used a Dutch oven, but I would love learning hoe to use one!!

  45. I don’t own anything cast iron yet and would love the Dutch oven, however, my current down comforter is over 15 years old. I think it is time for a new one! Prize #1 please!

  62. Comfort Food! Oh wait, that’s both. So I guess I’ll go with….. Comfort! Thanks for the chance!

  63. Very hard decision but I think pride #2. I could make some awesome meals in that to keep me warm.

  68. I would choose Prize #1. I love, love, love cast iron, and I already have the Dutch oven. That comforter looks perfect for snuggling into. Ahhh…..

  83. I gotta go with comfort as we already have the foodie item!! Mmmmm…..comfort……makes a evening with tiny tots worth it. Lol

  96. Wow, a mystery gift! My brain will be on overload trying to figure this one out. I’d normally go for anything to do with cooking. But I’ll pick #1 and be happy with whatever it is if I win. Thank you, Mavis.

    • Comfort, please! Two Dachshunds and my wife in bed at night don’t quite keep the chill off : – )

  111. Tough choice. It’s cold outside so right now I’m leaning toward #1. When dinner wears off I might be more inclined toward #2.

  115. I looked at prize 1 and tears came to my eyes. I’m so tired and that looks like heaven . Thank you.

  127. Sheesh! These are tough choices. I do have a Dutch oven,, but this one looks nicer and doesn’t have the legs to raise it above coals in a fire. I think I’d go with the comforter. The one I have is getting pretty worn.

  141. Our family would love prize number 1 the comforter because we read books together and that would be great!!

  150. Well, normally I would say “food”, but this time I think I’ll say “comfort”! That comfort is calling to me!! 🙂

  153. Oh oh oh …. prize two!! I like to crochet so I have plenty of blankets…. that and it’s cold maybe a month out of the year..

  163. Well Mavis much as I like the looks of the comforter if I win I would choose #2 the Lodge Dutch Oven, it would fit on the stove top with my Lodge Griddle and my Lodge Skillet. I can just about smell the beef stew I could make in it, slow simmered most of the day then enjoyed for a leisurely dinner.

  164. #2 Dutch oven and I think it’s hilarious that your mystery prizes are a comforter and a dutch oven…wink wink

  168. Prize 1. It is a good reminder to get off the Internet and get to bed. Maybe if I had such a cozy bed I would be more excited to go to sleep! Beautiful….

  180. I would choose Prize 1. We like to take afternoon naps during these cold winter months….I can see me propped up with a book and that snuggly comforter!

  181. I’ll have to go with #2 the dutch oven. The comforter looks really snuggle worthy, however I know it would be covered with black cat hair (or worse) in a matter of hours:)

  189. Prize #2 because I’ve just recently learned how to cook and use cast iron pans. I don’t have a dutch oven and don’t win things so I’m not expecting to win at all. Thanks so much for your blog! I love reading the posts daily!

  193. #2 – I’ve been wanting to get the Dutch Oven for some time now. I love using my cast iron pans to cook with. They were all passed down from our Grandparents & so they carry some special memories.

  206. Prize #2.
    I’m blessed to already own both of these items, but my sister-in-law has been longing for this second prize for a while, and it would be nice to see her get one.

  211. Would love prize 1. Looks so warm and cozy and love the heavy pot but itis too heavy for me to be lifting these days TKS DG

  214. #2. Love these giveaways! I’m like a schoolgirl waiting eagerly for an email from my “crush” Mavis!

  218. Prize 1. We have a family bed and could use a comforter that covers us and our two sweet boys! Snuggling time is the best!

  219. I would love prize 2!! Food!!! There are so many recipes that need one of those and I’ve never had one. Good luck everyone! And thank you!

  221. OOH! What an awesome choice to make! Both are wonderful giveaways, Mavis! Either would be wonderful, but the comforter looks so snuggly, I think I would pick that one. It’s REALLY cold here as of late in VT. It was -9 this morning… and my chocolate lab only throws so much heat 🙂 Hard choice, though… good picks on your part!

  235. Prize #1 Comfort! (pretty sure comfort was #1, been a long day) #2 is fabulous but this kitchen already has one that serves me well Thank you for the chance!

  242. Definitely prize #2, because the box is neat and tidy, and I have c-d-o. (That’s like OCD, but the letters are in the correct order)!

  256. I already have some cast iron cookware which I love,love, love!
    Soooo, for this prize, I would choose comfort.

  258. I would love Prize #2 – I love to cook and my son loves to help. This could be for him to learn to cook soups and stews!

  260. Prize #1. I have antique cast iron pots and skillets which are wonderful. Snuggling under a down comforter is comforting.

  265. After the holiday hustle and bustle, Prize # 1 comfort would be just what I was looking for…..Ahhh.

  281. I use to have a down comforter and loved it. But now I have something else that works. However, I have never had a cast iron anything. I have heard they are wonderful! So I would have to go with #2! Thank you for hosting such great giveaways!

  286. Prize 2
    Winter comfort foot comes to mind. Would love to have the dutch oven to try some.
    Thanks.

  287. Wow… such a hard choice! I think I would go with the down comforter! The nights get pretty cold around here (-12 when we woke up yesterday) and our woodstove always goes out by the morning so it would be wonderful to be snuggled up in goose down!

  291. The comforter. My comforter is so old and faded, it would be nice to have a new one so plush and cozy.

  293. Well you had me at comfort…..but then I saw that dutch oven!! Love cast iron and would enjoy having that large pot to cook for my family! So… prize number 2 would be my choice!

  309. Tough choice but I’d have to go with prize #2 the Lodge Dutch oven! Thanks for all of the awesome contests!

  315. Oh definitely prize 2! Seeing as I don’t have a bed, the dutch oven would get a TON of use as I love to cook!

  321. Oh Mavis I would totally choose Number 1 comfort.. it is like 9 degrees outside….and I DD and I cannot seem to get warm

  329. Mavis, you have the right attitude about xmas. so hopefully i can do a little of the same. I would like the next poster to get prize #1 or the poster after that one to get prize #2. They are both very nice!

    As always, keep up the good work.

    Andrew K

  332. I must say Prize #2. I have an antique Victor Junior cast iron stove, and have cooked many a meal using cast iron on that stove. It would be nice to have a new dutch oven. Thanks!!

  334. Comfort for sure! That comforter looks absolutely dreamy! I’d be hard pressed to choose if I didn’t already have a lodge cast iron Dutch oven. Makes the best no-knead bread ever!

  358. Prize number 1 looks amazing for a day of cuddling up in -10 degree weather, I’d have to go with that!

  372. As I already have and use my two cast iron dutch ovens, I would have to say Prize #1!!! My husband was just saying that we need a new comforter and this one looks so comfy!!!

  373. Number 1, number 1, number 1!!!!! 🙂 I have really been wanting something different … exactly this! Why, thank you for the chance, dear Mavis.

  413. This is hard! both are lovely! I would however go with (drumroll please!) #2!!!! I don’t have a dutch oven and cast iron is great (you don’t have to wash it right?) Thanks!!

  414. “Om Vast de Hollands Kachel” In other words, For Sure The Dutch Oven… I need a new one for my kitchen.
    Vrolijk Kerstfeest en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!!!

  417. Prize #2 My large cast iron dutch oven disappeared in a move. So I would really love to have another.

  421. Prize #1 please…..Mine is over 10 years old & looking a bit, well, ratty….thanks Mavis for all you do!

  422. I would love to chose Prize #2. I have always wanted a dutch oven. Thank you for another wonderful giveaway.

  424. That’s such a tough one!!! I love food AND comfort, but the one I’m more likely to use would be food 🙂 As much as I love comfort, the chances of it happening are slim to none. Unless it has something to do with comfy socks, then I’m sold!

  425. Comfort! 🙂 I am pretty sure my awesome husband is already getting me a new cast iron dutch oven for Christmas..

  437. Prize #1 would be perfect for me, my fiancé and my moose (english mastiff dog) *bonus* the white will show less drool markings !! PERFECT!

  451. The Dutch Oven. Would love to try your dutch oven bread recipe that you posted a little while ago.

  454. I go for food prize #1 my family loves to gather in the kitchen when cooking so it equals family time!

  466. I would pick the dutch oven because I cook to relax and it makes my kitchen “comfort”-able for folks who stop by.

  470. Prize #2. Some sixty years ago I had one, and in the course of moving let it get away. Really miss it now!

  489. I choose prize #1 for comfort. I just moved to Colorado from Hawaii. And I am freezing at night, even with flannel sheets, flannel pj’s, socks, and two quilts. buying a down alternative comforter was my next thought

  493. I’d love the Dutch oven! Both are awesome offers. Thanks for all your work. Such fascinating information always!

  496. Wow, this is a fabulous giveaway!
    As I am currently living in the Netherlands, I already use my Dutch oven quite often 😉 How else could I be Dutch?
    A nice warm bed, however, would be heaven. I absolutely love that comfy feeling that down gives, so I choose prize #1:
    Luxury goose down-alternative comforter for year round. Happy thoughts….

  501. Prize #2 would be amazing! My teenage daughter is obsessed with that brand and she doesn’t have that item yet. 🙂

  503. Prize #2…Food. A big, hot pot of comforting food for my family and I …seems like a win in both the food and comfort category!

  511. Prize #1! I need some sweet dreams under such a soothing and warm comforter. Thank you Mavis for putting more fun in December!

  515. ALthough I think that Prize #1 is lovely, it wouldn’t last a week in my home, so if I were to win – I would choose Prize #2. Thank you for the chance! 🙂

  516. Dutch oven! – just bookmarked a recipe this morning for which a Dutch oven was clearly essential.

  521. Being little Baby O’s last chemotherapy is on Friday… Boy, am I ready to relax after the last six month long NIGHTMARE! So #2: Relaxing. All through 2014 if I can get away with it.

  525. # 2 please and thank you. The comforter is beautiful, but with a bed stealing chocolate lab, it wouldn’t stay that way…LOL

  531. Prize # 1, please. That’s one of the last things I need to finish making our guest bedroom guest-ready.

  534. Prize #1!! I need a new comforter — my bed is my favorite place in the house and we live where it is darn chilly!!

  538. Definatly comfort have had a bad start to Christmas wrecked my car and insurance won’t cover the damage 🙁

  541. I would be thankful to win either one of the giveaways as I could use both of them. But since I need to pick, I will choose the Lodge Mfg L8DOL3 Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 5 Qt. Thank you for the nice giveaway!

  544. So tempting, but I’d pick #1. Our down comforter is leaking white feathers everywhere. It looks like it snowed in our bedroom, lol.

  559. #2–food. This could be used inside or outdoors over a campfire. You could make a tasty stew or roast in it. You could make campfire cinnamon rolls in it. The possibilities of use are endless.

  564. Prize #2 all the way! Even though Prize #1 would be comfy cozy, the dutch oven will last a lifetime! (And be awesome the whole time!)
