As I mentioned in previous posts, I spent this past weekend taking part of the Blogher conference. First, I want to thank my sponsor Walmart for the wonderful opportunity. Their generosity allowed me to connect with other bloggers and learn more about blogging in the process. Walmart also spoiled Blogher attendants with the opportunity to meet Dave Lieberman and Paula Deen.
I can’t give you a full blown recap but I want to say that the absolute best part of the conference was being able to meet other bloggers. And that I did, I had a chance to meet so many of them that I know if I start mentioning them I will forget a couple and don’t want to offend because I loved meeting each and every one of them.
The second best part I owe it to my friend Erin from Coupon Cravings who helped me get an invite to an exclusive party for pregnant moms sponsored by The Land of Nod and Stokke. I was very excited to go to this party because I have been eyeing the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair for a long time! I really wanted to learn more about the philosophy behind their products and they had me as soon as they said that they make their products with the baby’s benefit in mind not the moms’. As an attachment parenting believer, that philosophy really resonated with me. Anyway, after learning about their transportation, feeding and sleeping solutions we learned that each one of the pregnant mommies at the party was getting a FREE Tripp Trapp Chair!! OMG!! I was so floored and moved! I know second and third time moms will agree that after all the attention you get with a first pregnancy, you sort of feel your following babies are a bit neglected. So, it was great to be able to get such a nice gift for my first baby girl and last baby. Thank you so much Land of Nod and Stokke!
But I also got lots of other great freebies and I really want to share them with you, because well, I really love my readers. So, I have four bundles of goodies to giveaway. There will be four winners and each winner will be assigned randomly to one of the following bundles:
Prize #1:
One Moxie Girlz Doll, one Strawberry Shortcake doll, one $5/$25 Build a Bear coupon and FAB Girl make up products
Prize #2
One Leapfrog Tag book(just book not system), one Strawberry Shortcake doll, FAB Girl make up products and one $5/$25 Build a Bear coupon
Prize #3
One coupon for free Fast Fixin’ Item (up to $7.99), one coupon for free Trop 50 Orange Juice, one coupon for free Weight Watchers item, one coupon for free Tide Stain Release item and FAB Girl make up products
Prize #4
One coupon for free Fast Fixin’ Item (up to $7.99), one coupon for free Trop 50 Orange Juice, one coupon for free Weight Watchers item, one coupon for free Log Cabin Pancake syrup and FAB Girl make up products
To enter this giveaway, all you need to do is to just share which prize you would like to win. This giveaway ends Friday 7/31 at 9PM CST. I hope you had a good weekend.
