April 14, 2008

UPDATE: FOR THE WINNER, CLICK HERE.

Welcome to third, and final, part of my Mother's Day Giveaway Contest. No need to go shopping for yourself...or for another mom in your life. Just leave a comment to one of the posts I've put up for a chance to win some cool stuff.

So far I'm giving away ten copies of my book, Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding. Click here to enter to win.

I'm also giving away copies of two other books, Margarita Mama and The Rookie Mom's Handbook. Click here to enter to win.

Now for the third giveaway, we have an activity center, The Baby Einstein discover & play by Graco. I have to say, I LOVE this toy. When our first son was about six months old, we put him in it and he immediately "went to work." He sucked on the "star," flipped the book pages, and pressed repeatedly on the animal sounds. He was so focused, we called it "The Office." All I have to say is "Graco, thank you for inventing this. Without it, I could have never taken a shower when the kids were little."

The good folks at Graco, who have donated this center, have asked me to judge the contest. So for a chance to win, leave a comment, answering the following question:

How would this activity center make your life easier? (The deadline is May 11th).

Hot off the press... I've got two new books for all you moms out there. The Rookie Mom's Handbook and Margarita Mama: Mocktails for Moms-to-Be are both from my publisher, Quirk Books. In honor of Mother's Day (May 11), I'm doing a series of contests for the next few weeks. So we'll kick things off by giving away ten copies of each book. The authors themselves will be the judges and pick the winning entries. The deadline to enter is May 11.

First off, The Rookie Mom's Handbook. Here's what the publisher says:

Bookshelves abound with activity books for babies and toddlers, but The Rookie Mom’s Handbook is the first designed exclusively for first-time mothers. Here are 250 enjoyable activities to help rookie moms maintain their individuality and boost their confidence about leaving the house, socializing, and doing things they’ve always liked to do—either with or without baby. Inspired by the popular Web site www.rookiemoms.com, the book offers bite-sized activities arranged according to the baby’s age. Some are crafty, some are adventurous, and some simply help get a meal on the table.

To win a copy, leave a comment answering the following question: What was your biggest rookie mistake as a pregnant, or newly minted mom?

Now for Margarita Mama. The publisher says...
Margarita Mama offers a pitcherful of delicious “mocktails” designed specifically for moms-to-be. Every drink is 100 percent alcohol free. And they not only taste great, they also provide a healthful treat for both mom and baby! Recipes include twists on old favorites such as Mudslides, Mojitos, Cosmopolitans, and Mimosas, plus yummy new libations like the Materni-Tini, the Raging Hormone, and the Chocolate Crave.

To win a copy, leave a comment answering this question: What was the craziest craving you had when you were pregnant and how did you satisfy it?
