Today we're doing something a little different with our Friday Freebies. Hartland Homes is offering TWO awesome promotions for NWD brides!

As an owner of a Hartland Home myself, I can attest to the fact that they are great to work with, and we love our home. My husband and I purchased our Hartland Home in 2007, and we were very happy with how accommodating and easy they made the process. Since then Hartland Homes has made several more positive changes--they offer a variety of warranties and have upgraded their dry basement warranty to 20 years. They also have made new things standard in their homes, such as a choice between birch or oak cabinets and energy-efficient Integrity windows. If you and your honey are house-hunting, you definitely need to check them out!

Now on to the Freebies! First of all, any bride that tours the model home (1851 SW 27th St) during Lincoln's Parade of Homes (from October 3rd-11th) can register to win a FREE iPod!

In addition, ANY NWD bride that purchases a home from Hartland Homes will get the HUGE option of a free refrigerator OR washer/dryer combo--a $1,000 value!!!

Make sure you take advantage of these special offers!
