September 20, 2007 | Contests
Pregnant? Nursing? Just plain hungry? The very pretty people over at Oh Mama! Bars have graciously offered to give away 6-packs of their yummy, award-winning nutrition bars to to five lucky Want Not readers. Each winner will receive two bars of each flavor (chocolate peanut butter, frosted white lemon, and frosted white raspberry).
They’re low in fat, high in protein, and full of vitamins and something called DHA which is really important for making sure your baby doesn’t have five heads. (Okay, I may have made up the five heads part. But not the DHA part! Pinky swear!) Creator Beth Vincent is a health care professional and mother of three and presumably has, you know, taste buds, so these are not only optimum nutrition-on-the-run but probably taste pretty good.
The bars normally retail for $2.50 apiece, so for the math-impaired, that means you stand to win $15 worth of yumminess. How do you win? You leave a comment on this entry by 11:59 pm on Friday, September 21st. I will tally up the number of entries and then let my kids pick 5 numbers which will then correspond to the winning commenters. One comment per person, please, and do me a favor and don’t enter if you won a t-shirt in the last contest (let’s spread the winning around). You have a day and a half to get in on the action. And with five winners to be had, there’s an excellent chance one of them will be you. Go!

Yummy Snacks? Can I play?
September 20th, 2007 at 6:29 am
Love your site, read it every day!
September 20th, 2007 at 6:41 am
So will you send them to someone else that we choose if we win? My very best friend is pregnant and surely don’t need something else to add to my collection of “Foods I must have”.
September 20th, 2007 at 6:59 am
No tee shirts won here!
September 20th, 2007 at 7:03 am
Ooooh! Me too!
September 20th, 2007 at 7:05 am
this should be a huge improvement on my daily ice cream afternoon preg snack….
September 20th, 2007 at 7:11 am
Yum! Now I can pretend that I’ll turn over a new leaf and eat healthy from now on.
September 20th, 2007 at 7:13 am
Contest….bring it on pretty Mir~
September 20th, 2007 at 7:17 am
Want snacks, like snacks, snacks good!
September 20th, 2007 at 7:24 am
Mmmm…yummy snacks! I’m in!
September 20th, 2007 at 7:31 am
I’m nursing! And I like snacks!
September 20th, 2007 at 7:44 am
Count me in! I’m pregnant and I would love a different midnight snack.
September 20th, 2007 at 7:50 am
My husband and I have been looking for a good-tasting but healthy bar. We’ve been unlucky in our search (which has led to some wasted money, unfortunately, when we both shunned some bars we’d purchased that tasted like plastic containers smell. Yuck.) but maybe I’ll get lucky this once. (Even though I’m not pregnant, all my friends and family seem to be right now, which is quite odd all of a sudden.)
*crosses fingers* Thanks, Mir and Beth.
September 20th, 2007 at 7:51 am
Ooh, ooh!! Pick me, pick me!
September 20th, 2007 at 7:55 am

September 20th, 2007 at 8:20 am
I have heard GREAT things about these.
September 20th, 2007 at 8:20 am
My nearly 5 year old son is always hungry!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:22 am
I’m nursing and this kid is sucking the life out of me. She’s 5 months old and about 18 pounds…. I’m hungry!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:24 am

Thirty-two . . . thirty-two . . . thirty-two. What? Just trying a little subliminal advertising. Hi Chickie and Monkey!

This nursing mama wants to try them!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:49 am
I love your site too. It is the one site that I HAVE to check on daily!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:53 am
I’m 4 months pregnant, and REALLY need to lay off the pasta. And chocolate peanut butter? Did someone say Heaven?
September 20th, 2007 at 8:54 am
Count me in! I’m a nursing mom who’s always on the look out for a quick, healthy snack.
BTW - love your site! I can’t start my day without checking your site out!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:54 am
I’m in for some yummy snacks!!! Thanks! Good Luck everyone!!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:55 am
i’m nursing, and my sister-in-law is pregnant, so we’d split them between the two of us!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:58 am
Hey, beautiful Mir, I too, live in the south NC as a matter of fact. I am a mom of 5 boys and just found out that I am pregnant again. This one better be a girl! Pick me, Pick me!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:59 am
It’s all about the breeding in my circle lately. Pick me!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:05 am

Krista
September 20th, 2007 at 9:07 am
Super duper… who doesn’t love the freebies, especially when they actually pertain to your, um, situation.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:13 am
Your site is great. Pregnant and love to snack!!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:13 am
Cool!
THANKS!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:14 am
I’d love to win these! A girl at the doctor’s office gave me a taste and they are good! I still haven’t seen them in stores and it did not occur to me to ask her where she found them…
September 20th, 2007 at 9:18 am
I’m always up for a snack!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:21 am
Yay! I’m so glad I found this site. Fun contest too. I’m due with my third daughter in November. Would love to try these!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:29 am
I would love to win! Thanks for creating such a wonderful site!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:30 am
I’m nursing my 11 month-old, and these would be a big improvement over the gummi bears I’m secretly snacking on. Thanks Mir & Beth!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:39 am
Read your site everyday! I am pregnant with #3 and am always at a loss for a good snack that appeals to me throughout the day - PICK ME, PICK ME!!!!!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:40 am

September 20th, 2007 at 9:43 am
Hi, pretty Mir! Sign me up, too. Thanks!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:45 am
Oh, that would be GREAT. Sign me up. Who knew you’d get so many comments? Wow.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:46 am
My daughter is nursing her 3-week old daughter and she is always hungry. Great timing.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:48 am
My boobs hang to my knees because of all the nursing I have done. I sure could use a pick me up. Hardee har har.
Love the site!
Jo
September 20th, 2007 at 9:50 am
I’m nursing and very busy- usually grab some sort of bar for breakfast. I would love to try these!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:51 am
These look super yummy! Once I got a free sample of a Bella Bar in the mail (also for preggos) and my daughter who is 14 asked if there was anything I wanted to tell her. lol This would give her a cardiac arrest, maybe.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:53 am
Add me, please!
I love your site! I check out the deals EVERYDAY!!!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:54 am
Oh - Pick me! Pick me! I’m always looking for healthy snacks.

Enter me please!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:15 am
I’m due in March with my first. And I’m trying to eat healthy, but mostly I’m just eating a LOT!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:15 am
I’m nursing and I’m hungry- I’d love this!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:16 am
Yum!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Sign me up! I love snacks and free is my favorite price!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:30 am
Mmmm. Sounds delish!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Thank you for all your postings!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Wow! I guess you are a truly popular site! I would LOVE to have these- I tend to run low on protein (don’t like dairy and don’t eat much meat and am working on getting more protein from beans and the like). So, this would be totally cool… and I’m still a nursing mama too!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:57 am
Not pregnant yet, but trying. Maybe this is the edge I need to get those little fellers working in my favor!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:58 am
I’m throwing my hat in– and expecting baby #2 in November. I’ve been curious about these, I see them in maternity stores.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:58 am
My kids are grown but now I need energy to keep up with the GRANDkids! I’d love to try them!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:00 am
If I win, I’ll give them to my sister who wants to be pregnant by December. I really want a nephew or niece so pick me! By the way, I LOVE your site.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:05 am
I just stopped nursing but, um, I chase a toddler everyday and everybody knows that’s just as black hole for energy.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:09 am
I had no idea how popular this site really is. That’s awesome. I tell lots a people about it and pass on lots of the tips.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:10 am
Mmmmm, candy bars that are good for you! My son is due in early December, he’s a big boy already and I am always starving! I’ve also been making a list of things to keep by the bed to snack on while nursing after the c-section (since it makes you rather immobile!) This would sure beat the dry cereal I had planned! Please pick me oh beautiful children of pretty pretty Mir!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Enter me please! My sister in law is pregnant and would love me for these!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:16 am
If I win I’ll take it as a sign that I’ll soon be pregnant - which would be WONDERFUL!!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Would love to give these to my sister, due Nov18!!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Who can’t use more (free) protein in their diet? Great site - thanks so much for all the fantastic deals!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:25 am
Mmmmm….snack bars….so awesome…but not as awesome as you…
September 20th, 2007 at 11:28 am
You are beautiful.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:28 am
OK, I think I need these bars. I am 28 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. I think I may need the bars just because I was crazy enough to have my 4th. Would I get them if I told you we may even have another one? Maybe they will help me with what I call “placenta brain”. You know it’s when you can’t think of simple words, “the- and- a”. One day I was reading outloud and I stopped because the words were registering in my head but I couldn’t get them out of my mouth. Anyone else have this problem? If not try having 4 kids and I bet you just might! Thanks and I hope to be eating some yummy bars soon!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:32 am
I’m homeschooling 2 active boys and breastfeeding a baby girl and practically live on bars bc they’re fast and easy. Would love to win : )
September 20th, 2007 at 11:34 am
I’m in!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:42 am
Great! Consider this my plea for a win.
*crossed fingers*
September 20th, 2007 at 11:55 am
Leaving a comment — Oh Mama! Want to try those
September 20th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
This mama needs some DHA! My nursing 6 month old boy used to have a perfectly normal head and now seems to have a bumpy skull. I call this cute brain-space. My husband, always one for accuracy, calls it a deformity. More DHA!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Sounds delish!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
I’m nursing a little guy and chasing after a 3 year old - I’d LOVE to try these bars!!! C’mon Chickadee & Monkey, pick me!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
mmmmmmm my fave…peanut butter and chocolate.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Free is for me!!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
sounds YUMMY!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
Food to grab and go when nursing is a must. Sign me up.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
healthy snacks for (older) pregnant mama’s? - well, that is what I heard anyway
Pick me! Pretty please, with healthy chocolate and a raspberry on top!
September 20th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
MMMMMMMM - sounds delicious!
September 20th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Oh Mama!
September 20th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Yum-O! Surely these are more nutritious for my lactating self than the Dr. Pepper and a Snickers bar I tackle each afternoon………….
September 20th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
MMMmmm….delicious DHA! I’d love some! Thanks!
September 20th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
I’m nursing RIGHT NOW….. (She’s actually standing with one foot on a toy and one knee on my lap, having a snack while I’m typing….)
September 20th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
A new snack would be nice - a girl can only eat so many bananas (even if it is the only thing she can keep in her stomach during this lovely first trimester!).
September 20th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Chocolate peanut butter? Sign me up.
September 20th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
I’m nursing my 6 month old (unlike the above poster, not RIGHT NOW, my daughter is sleeping), and I would share them with my SIL who is due in about a month.
September 20th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
I’m all over this@
September 20th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I check your site everyday just to make sure I don’t miss out on any great deals. As a mother of 4 every penny I can pinch helps, plus the “hunt” is so much fun! Thanks!
September 20th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
I’m (still) nursing my daughter (you know, the one born of the PDA). She is already of an age when she can say (or scream at the top of her lungs) “I want boob, NOW!” It’s probably time to think of stopping, huh? In the meantime, snack, please!
September 20th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Nursing twins! Always hungry! Pick me!
September 20th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Just found out I’m pregnant with #5…maybe this is something I will feel like eating besides all the fast food money can buy…
September 20th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
I’m pregnant too!
September 20th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Am I lucky number _________…..?
September 20th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
By golly this is getting a lot of entries.
(And I know this doesn’t increase my chances of winning, but I think you’re very pretty, Mir.)
September 20th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
not pregnant, not nursing, but yes to hungry! count me in, thanks Mir
September 20th, 2007 at 2:55 pm

September 20th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
I’m pregnant and I worship your loveliness and your wonderful website.
September 20th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
mmmmm……snacks
September 20th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
Am pregnant. Therefore, am always hungry.
I’m clearly one of the more practical choices. I am also quite cute, but not as pretty as you.
September 20th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Oh, YUM!
September 20th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
Pretty hair and great prizes? How do you do it?
September 20th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
I just learned yesterday, that pregnancy shrinks your brain. I just had my 3rd child 3 months ago. Not only do I need yummy snacks, I need my brain back…
September 20th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Yummy!
September 20th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
I’d like to try them. Enter me in.
September 20th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
I’m preggo with my third. Anything to help with eating healthily on the run! Pls count me in!!
September 20th, 2007 at 6:04 pm
120….It has a nice ring.
September 20th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
I love your website– I’m nursing mom, so sign me up!
September 20th, 2007 at 6:23 pm

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and would love some good for me (and baby) snacks! Yeah!!!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
I’m nursing and constantly hungry. Mmmmm, DHA!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Yum-oh!
September 20th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
I just stopped nursing but I’m always hungry (mostly because I’m a snack pig) but I promise to share with the preggos I know!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
Did I mention that teachers are often malnourished?
September 20th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
I have a very pretty pregnant sister who really needs these yummy treats! Pick us, please!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
Yummy! I’m nursing and chasing an older one, I could certainly use these.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Oh man, I need these. I’m pregnant and work nights in the hospital. These would be perfect to carry around in my coat pocket for mid-night munchies.
September 21st, 2007 at 12:06 am
Here’s to this number! Thanks for such a lovely site, by the way, even without the prizes. The Coldwater Creek deals alone have outfitted me professionally for the next entire year!
September 21st, 2007 at 12:50 am
Wow, way over 100 entries to win candy. I hope it is me, me, me!
September 21st, 2007 at 9:26 am
Pick me! Pick me!I LOVE your site!
September 21st, 2007 at 9:49 am

I’d love to win these. They look great. Thanks!!!
September 21st, 2007 at 10:13 am
Oh, those sound yummy! Sound like a great snack while nursing my 3 month old!
September 21st, 2007 at 10:31 am
I am pregnant and hungry…these sound great!
September 21st, 2007 at 10:37 am
Sounds yummy!
September 21st, 2007 at 10:38 am
Hi Monkey and Chickadee… You are very handsome Monkey. You are very pretty Chickadee… {:>
September 21st, 2007 at 10:42 am
I am 70 years old and pregnant. My husband died several years ago so I am unwed. I would like to have the bars for more nutrition.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:51 am
Mmmm…snacks….I really do need extra calcium, you know. And frosted white lemon AND frosted white raspberry sound really good. They’d surely save me from evil snacking.
September 21st, 2007 at 11:09 am
Ooh pick me pick me….. you are pretty
September 21st, 2007 at 11:10 am
Ok, count me in–can’t resist delicious snack bars!
September 21st, 2007 at 11:11 am
Boy, do I need a boost. Recently pregnant, now have a sleepless infant, moved from Alaska to Wisconsin, moved 4 times in 7 month. I need something and maybe these bars are it! Thanks for the chance!
September 21st, 2007 at 11:12 am
I am just now not feeling totally gross and can eat! these would be great.
September 21st, 2007 at 11:17 am
Hi!
I am actually trying to get pregnant with my second! I need, I need! Please? Thank you!
September 21st, 2007 at 11:29 am
I would be honored to win these snacks for 3 reasons. First of all, I am pregnant with my 3rd child… just getting out of the first trimester and would love to eat something that would be considered REAL food without gagging. Come on, it’s really for the baby. Secondly, it would offically be ONE snack that I didn’t HAVE to share with anybody. And last but not least, if you don’t pick me I might cry. Don’t feel too bad cause I will being crying anyway, I’m sure. Oh, Mama! They look so good!
September 21st, 2007 at 11:58 am
I just barely made it. It’s 11:57. Yum, those look good!
September 21st, 2007 at 1:03 pm
I want some! Those look yum…
September 21st, 2007 at 1:18 pm
I’d love to try these!
September 21st, 2007 at 1:40 pm
i have FOUR pregnant friends. i need to feed them so they will continue to let me pet their bellies
September 21st, 2007 at 3:03 pm
I bet I’m the last to sign up! But still within the time frame, go ME! (AND I’m PREGNANT!!)
September 21st, 2007 at 3:15 pm
El-e-e … I don’t know if I’ll be last, but I know you won’t be, cuz I’m in!
September 21st, 2007 at 4:10 pm
I want snacks, please!
September 21st, 2007 at 4:47 pm
Woo! Free food! Bring it on (please)!
September 21st, 2007 at 7:58 pm
Been there, done that, didn’t win the T-shirt…feed me, Seymour!
September 21st, 2007 at 8:35 pm
PULLEASE, Oh Pullease I gotta have these bars. I love you.
September 21st, 2007 at 9:26 pm
I never pass up a chance for free food. Now all I have to do is send a subliminal signal to your kids so they pick my lucky number…
September 23rd, 2007 at 9:42 pm
[...] Wowza, you people really want some free food. The drawing for Oh Mama! bars received 161 entries, which sort of makes me want to whip y’all up some snacks right now, because who knew so many of you were so hungry? Not me. [...]
