Bravado Designs Bliss Nursing Bra (Ends 08/27)

HSUper Parents is hosting a giveaway for a bravado! Designs Bliss Nursing Bra. I've heard nothing but good things about this brand of nursing bras. As a believer in extended breastfeeding, I expect to be nursing a child for the next 10 years or so. Okay, maybe only the next three years or so, but that still requires a nice nursing bra.

Tiny Tush Elite One-size Pocket Diaper (Ends 08/18)

Liz has a Life is hosting a giveaway of a Tiny Tush Elite One-size Pocket Diaper in your choice of color and closure (snap or aplix).

I am always interested in trying diapers I haven't tried before.

Potty Training Package (Ends 08/27)

Liz Has a Life is hosting a fantastic potty training giveaway sponsored by Super Undies. The prize package includes a Super Undies Trainer of your choice, PLUS a Step-Up insert, a waterproof potty rug and a potty training guide.

I recently had an opportunity to purchase some of these used but didn't because they were a size large. My 19 month old daughter is currently showing interest in potty training and a medium would fit her better so I had to pass them up. When I saw this giveaway, I got super excited because I was already familiar with the Super Undies trainers and really wanted to try them. Here's my chance!

BumGenius Organic One-Size AIO (ends 7/13)

Liz Has A Life is hosting a giveaway of a BumGenius Organic One-Size AIO. It is sponsored by The Diaper Wagon. It ends today so hurry up!

I love these diapers. They are trim, dry fast, and fit my daughter very well. She's been wearing her three since she was 4 months old. I'd love to have another to add to her stash. They're very easy for dads to use too. My husband only put it on backwards once.



No Cry Sleep Solution (End 7/13)

Jessica at The B Keeps Us Honest is hosting a giveaway of The No-Cry Sleep Solution book by Elizabeth Pantley. This giveaway ends today so you need to hurry!

My daughter has always been great about sleeping during the nighttime hours. However, she's also always gone to bed really late (around 11:00) and still wakes up many times a night to nurse.

We're trying to move her bedtime earlier and contemplating night weaning so that she will get better sleep at night. It typically takes her about an hour of doing gymnastics while nursing before she actually falls asleep.

I think this book would have a lot of good tips and tricks to getting better sleep for everyone. I've read her No-Cry Discipline Book and half of The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers. I checked it out from the library and kept for two months. I have to own a book to read it all the way because my daughter doesn't let me read.

Be Who You Are Vinyl Wall Decal (Ends 7/12)

I'm sure you are probably thinking, "What is with all these wall decal giveaways?" Well, my walls are really bare! My poor naked walls need some pizazz.



To help with this, Mom to Bed by 8 is hosting a giveaway of the vinyl wall decal from Trading Phrases pictured above (30x12.5 in, chocolate color). I identify very strongly with this saying. I've always been one to not really care about appearances. I figure those who like me, like me. Those who don't, don't.

Trading phrases has a HUGE selection of wall decals. The Trading Phrases giveaway ends on 7/12.

Balance Bike Giveaways!

Some things are just too much of a coincidence.  The other day I was reading a forum post on balance bikes. I didn't even know what one was so I read up on  them. That night when my husband came home, I informed him that our 18 month old NEEDED one of these thing.  I even showed him a you tube video of an 18 month old riding one.

Then I find not one but two giveaways for balance bikes. It must be fate!

First, The B Keeps Us Honest is hosting a giveaway for a My Glide Bike. The giveaway ends 7/25.

The second giveaway is hosted by Mom to Bed by 8.  It it for a Strider no pedal prebike. This is the exact kind I was planning on buying! This giveaway ends July 18th.

Knickernappies Diaper (Ends 7/2)

Julie over at Diaper Discussions is hosting a giveaway for a great cloth diaper: a Knickernappies one size cloth diaper with a loopy do insert.



I've been really, really wanting to try the loopy do inserts. The material is a continuous loop which allows for faster drying. It's made with two layers of hemp french terry plus 2 layers of ultra-thick white microfiber. My babe is a heavy wetter, and any added absorbancy would be great!

As for the diaper itself, I would love to try one. The knickernappies website has this to say:


Knickernappies OneSize Diapers have some great features:

  • Four size adjustments to fit your baby best -- Small, Medium Short, Medium, and Large
  • Tested to fit babies from about 8 lbs to 40 lbs
  • Two inserts with every diaper, sizes small & large, and our inserts are Made in the USA!
  • Choose between two top-rated LoopyDo inserts or two microfiber inserts.
  • A scooped tummy panel & topstitching for best fit under chubby baby bellies
  • Buttery-soft, non-pill fleece inner to keep your baby dry and comfortable
  • Elastic on both sides of the pocket opening to hold the insert in place
  • Very gentle Lastin elastic in the leg and waist - no red marks!
  • Lastin elastic is long lasting and can't "go out" like regular elastic
  • Two Year Guarantee on elastic and snaps.
And really, how you can you not enter a giveaway entitled "pimp your stash." Julie, you are so rad!

Win a Safety First onBoard 35 Air infant car seat

I just have to preface this with some comments about Mama B. She has some of the best giveaways for moms like me that I have seen. She's crunchy, lives in Florida, and is a stay at home mom. Sound familiar? I promise she isn't me, but she's coming from a place where she knows what kind of things people like me want to win. 

With that being said, she's giving away an infant car seat courtesy of Safety First. Head on over to Mama B's review for the car seat to get the full scoop. 



I'm interested in winning it because we are contemplating having another baby. It would be great to have this infant seat for a new baby. I really like that rear faces up to 35 lbs and 32 inches. My wee one is almost 18 months and around 25 lbs and 33 inches. Her other infant car seat only went up to 28 or 29 inches. She outgrew it quite some time ago.

Lulu's In The Fluff - Photo contest

Post a picture of your child with their daddy! Even if you don't win, what a great way to showcase your family :)

What is Swag?

According to wikipedia:

A slang term for free promotional items, referring to a thief or pirate's treasure, often pronounced or spelled schwag. It is a popular backronym for Software and GiveawaysStuff We All Get, or Souvenirs, Wearables, and Gifts.


I think that pretty much sums up the purpose of this blog. I love to enter giveaways. I have yet to win, but the day is coming! I can feel it. I don't enter every giveaway. Just the ones where the item being given away is something I would actually want or use. 


So many giveaways give extra entries if you blog about the giveaways. So I will be blogging away. I may also use this blog to give opinions on products. Or maybe not. We'll just make it up as we go.
