There is a bit of background to this giveaway. I was chatting last year to one of my sweet blogging friends and we were discussing how cool it would be to give away a Kitchen Aid on our own blogs. It seemed like something that was so far off and such an expensive thing to do. But earlier in the year I said to retro daddy ‘I’m going to do it’. I’ve had such a huge year – not just on this blog but life in general. It’s been huge and it’s fun to do something huge just before Christmas!
And I wanted to say thank you! To everyone who pops by here, who leave a comment, who read everyday, who pop over to my facebook page, who email me, who tell their friends, who are old time readers or might be my newest fans. Thank you. I wouldn’t have this blog and the success that I’ve had if it wasn’t for you. So why not giveaway something that I love so much. My Kitchen Aid.
There are so many things to love about a Kitchen Aid. Mine is so special because I came in the door with newborn twins to discover it all wrapped up on the kitchen counter with a big bow on it. We were living in this teeny tiny little rented townhouse with a tiny little kitchen but I gave that Kitchen Aid pride of place. Retro daddy teased me for taking such good care of it but I loved it. And I still do. Our kitchen at the old house wasn’t even finished yet but that Kitchen Aid was the first thing I put in the new kitchen. Didn’t matter that there was no electricity in the room yet!
And there is a shiny red Kitchen Aid sitting in my house all ready to go to your house. I bought it myself and it comes with an extra beater blande (fancy! I dont have one but it scrapes the bowl as it beats!) and a Kitchen Aid cookbook too. And if the number of entries just goes crazy then I’m giving away a second Kitchen Aid. Yes. A second one will be up for grabs if the entries go crazy so that you still have a good chance of winning. You can thank retro daddy for that because he thought I was giving away two. How generous of him.
The fine print! You must be an Australian resident, 18 or over, you may only enter once, you must enter using the form below and you must have a valid email address entered. You can read the full terms for this giveaway here. This is a random draw which will be conducted on Monday 17th December after 5pm. NSW Permit Number LTPS/12/10896. Oh and your entry won’t come up as a comment, you’ll get a message thanking you! If you want to leave a comment just do that below but fill in the form to enter. I’m trying something new and easier for picking a winner.
What an awesome and generous thing for you and Retro Daddy to do!!

Great competition Corrie…. Thank you. Hoping 2013 is as successful for you as 2012.
All entered. How exciting I’ve always wanted a kitchen aide

Wow! Corrie cannot believe your offer, thank you, of course I would love to win, great Christmas gift, again WOW!!! Thank you for this opportunity, A Kitchen Aid, wow!!!
Love this, I have started a $2 coins in a 600ml coke bottle fund (supposedly nearly $1000 fits) and it is for my kitchen aid. Imagine, if I won I could use that money to buy some accessaries straight away – icecream bowl, meat grinder, sausage filler, oh the list just goes on and on! Fingers crossed and thank you soooo much for your generosity!
I so have my fingers crossed for this! I think I would actually cry if I won lol. I’m so sad hahaha! Good luck to everyone – anyone who wins would probably cry lol
That is a gorgeous, lovely thing to do.
And red does go faster!
What a wonderful Christmas gift for a lucky mum. Thanks Retro mummy and Retro daddy. Merry Christmas!

I hope it goes to someone that loves it as much as you love yours – oh, and if that person just happens to be me, then i’ll be very grateful indeed 😉

You are so amazing Corrie, that’s the best giveaway ever! Such a lovely, generous gesture from you and Retro Daddy
I’ve been reading your blog for about two years now and I don’t always comment but I read it every day. It’s part of my morning routine, haha. I love your blog, you’re such an amazing mumma, raising your 5 little ones and getting through every day chaos with no dishwasher (!!!). For that alone, you deserve an award. I don’t have a dishwasher either but I only have two little ones and it still takes me so much time! Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get a brand-new, fully-equipped kitchen soon
Thank you for such a generous giveaway Retro Mummy.
Bless your generous hearts
and thanks for the chance.
Merry Christmas to you all xo
Such a generous giveaway from a fantastic blog, thanks retro mummy and daddy!

All done! Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family

Thanks for the chance to win. What a great giveaway!
Thank you so much for the chance to win something so wonderful!!
Oh noooo – for some reason it won’t let me enter…It comes up with an error message saying it is for one entry only – but I promise I haven’t already entered!!
Oh my goodness! I came for the Kitchen Aid, but I’m staying for the awesome blog!
Just echoing everyone elses comments about how generous you guys are for giving a kitchen aid away. You just blew my mind.
What a lovely thing to do Corrie. Thank you for the love and honesty that you bring to your blog – it really makes my day to read your words.
I think everyone will be happy win or not because we have all witnessed the spirit of giving first hand. I don’t just mean the kitchen aid but the sharing of your daily life with all. Who would have thought googling a thermomix recipe a few weeks ago would have meant finding you and such a wonderful blog. Big hugs to the Retro Family.
I kind of felt bad entering as it’s been so long since I’ve left an actual comment, though I do read regularly, then I thought, IT’S A KITCHENAID !!! so I entered 😀 You are so generous Corrie, I have wanted a kitchenaid for so long, it would be amazing to be the winner! Thank you, and I hope you and your beautiful family have a very Merry Christmas! xx
Thank you so much. I love following your posts. Have a wonderful blessed Christmas. Xxoo
You two are so generous! Thankyou for the opportunity to win. You are def going to make someone very happy this Christmas. xx

This is such an amazing Christmas giveaway – then again, this is such an amazing blog (that I am so addicted to). It seems funny to open up your blog each day to read all about you, and find so much joy in your family when we have never met in person. Shari from http://www.goodfoodweek.blogspot.com

So incredibly generous of you … Thankyou for the chance to win one of these amazing baking/cooking aids!! Its been on my list of dream items for so long, but unfortunately it has been knocked back down the list more times than I’d wish to count due to other *needs* needing to be filled first.
Oh no! I live in The Netherlands. BUMMER! Great give-away and lovely story behind it. Hope the winner gives it a special home.
Thank you for being so generous . You brighten my day with your posts.
Thank you Corrie for such an amazing giveaway! I am soo excited about even the possibility! I also have a very small kitchen. I only really have the microwave and kettle on it as there is just no room but I have already told hubby where my kitchen aid would go!!! Willing to put the kettle away if need be.
Yay, what a fabulous prize. Thanks so much for thinking of all of us!!!!

I think it’s great that your giving, giving always comes back 10 fold in good Karma. Best of xmas wishes to you.
Thank you for a chance at owning one!
How wonderfully generous! I’ve always wanted one of these (but can’t quite justify it).
My ultimate kitchen fantasy is a Kitchen Aid in the red sheen,
I am obssessed with the idea of owning this wonderful machine.
I have a few reasons for wanting one of these babies…. 1. I am obsessed with baking, and I have blown out two little hand held mixers this year. 2. I love to entertain and this machine will make my work so much easier. 3. It will start me on a whole new journey of food exploration. 4. Its been on my Christmas wish list for four years, however having four children thier needs come before mine.. and 5. Becasue this beauty is sleek, sexy and strong
Just what a woman needs in her kitchen 
Wow! Jolly decent of you and the Mr.!
Congratulations on all you’ve achieved this year! I had my second child about a month after Emerson was born and have found looking after just two children tricky enough – I’m in complete awe of how you undertake life with 5 children!
I wish you and the fam peace and fun over the holiday season!
Wonderful giveaway.
I know I can’t enter from New Zealand but just wanted to say what a cute story and great giveaway, your blog has become a must-read for me this year! Merry Christmas
wow Thank you so much Corrie, you are so wonderfully generous. How beautiful of you xx
Hi Corrie, I always remember the story of you coming home with twins to your new kitchenaid! As I didn’t get one when I had my twins, I’ll enter your giveaway instead! Wishing you and your family a peaceful, relaxing and joyous Christmas!
I can’t believe your giving away 1 let alone possibly 2 Kitchen Aids. It has been on my deeply desired wish list for years and I am holding out for a real one. Hubby offered to get me a cheeper stand mixer but I know once I have one I won’t get the one I really want – A KitchenAid. So I continue to cross my fingers that my old opshop hand mixer that I got when I was at Uni will last till we can afford (or win) a KitchenAid.
Thank you and Mr very much for having such an amazing give away.
Thank you for the chance to enter this competition, very generous and thoughtful of you both. I have often looked at this KitchenAid and hoped that hubby would see the want in my eyes.. but nope it has not worked as yet.. Necessity to me is just some thing that is wanted and not needed in his mind.. tens drills on the other hand.. !!
thank you again and all the best to every one.
Have a great holiday to all of you and your families x
How terribly exciting!! Thank you for the opportunity and for your generosity. Christmas blessings x
What a generous giveaway! Props to you and your hubby 😀
