As you know, Jenny and I are participating in Verizon Wireless’s Midwest Moms campaign. We’ve had fun trying out the Motorola Xoom and Droid Bionic, and now it’s time to let you in on the fun, too!

We’re giving away the latest and greatest in the world of smartphones – the Motorolla Droid RAZR.

Do you see how thin that phone is? It’s 0.27″ thick – the size of four quarters. The case is made out of Kevlar, the stuff that constitutes bullet proof vests, and the screen is made from scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, which means you’ll shudder a little less when the kids ask to play with your phone! It also has a coating that repels water.

The craziest thing about this phone is that it has “advanced artificial intelligence” that keeps track of how you use the phone and then modifies itself so it runs at peak effectiveness. You can even set it to switch to silent mode automatically when you go certain places, like church, for example.

Of course, it’s also fast – as we’ve told you before, the Verizon 4G LTE network is amazing. It runs up to 10 times faster than 3G!

It’s time for our 5th Lands’ End Starfish Collection giveaway.  We are halfway through then ten giveaways!  Our 4th winner was long-time faithful reader Allison!

In this post I am super-pumped to review for you my new favorite Starfish item: the Terry Foldover Collar Jacket:

Zomgoodness people, it is SO. CUTE. ON.  I adore the foldover collar, which fastens with two snaps.  It’s assymetrical, and cute, and warm, and cozy!  This jacket has pockets!  It’s flowy and comfy.  It looks great with jeans or with your favorite pair of Starfish pants.  It really looks dressy but it feels sooo comfy.  I am super, super, super-enamored with it. Love, love, LOVE it!

Lands’ End keeps coming out with great pieces to make the Starfish Collection even more amazing than it already is.  Here’s how lucky YOU can enter to win five pieces of this great collection, from the pants that started it all to one of the gorgeous tops or jackets!

The winner of our FIRST Lands’ End Starfish Collection giveaway was long-time reader Christie Scholl. Congrats, Christie!  She gets to pick out FIVE pieces of the fabulous, fun, comfy, and cute Starfish Collection!  Can’t wait to hear what she picks out.

Don’t be sad if you weren’t the winner, because here’s chance #2 (of TEN!) to win!  You could choose this adorable Starfish stripe terry portrait collar top:

Or the fabulous original Starfish Refined Stretch Pant (of DREAMS!):

Or, you could get warm & cozy in this Starfish Heavyweight Terry Parka Hoodie.  Ah, I DO adore a good hoodie!

You can pick any five pieces you want!  And there is so much to choose from! Like I’ve said before, I love everything about the Starfish collection.  Comfort, style, and more than that even – you can feel comfortable while looking absolutely pulled together.  So, if you find yourself spending 24/7 in your Starfish outfits, don’t be surprised…not that I’ve worn them all day and then slept in them or anything…

*Ahem*
