I won!

I seriously NEVER win but it turns out I did! I just won the Gymboree boys outfit give away over at "Growing A life". I can't believe it! You can still enter for her Tuesday through Friday give-aways if you are interested so head on over and check out the "Growing and giving" contest! Thanks Damselfly for holding the contest and thanks Flybaby for choosing me!

Bebe Au Lait

I'm not much for entering contests myself....but I've found another you need to check out.

Mom Views blog is having the best contest I've seen yet because it's something I think EVERY mother should have. Best for your breasts and for baby the Bebe Au Lait nursing covers are something to be coveted! I've written about them here before but it's worth writing again. I am seriously a huge supporter of these sweet inventions. To read my initial review on them click here. Then go to Mom Views yourself for your chance to win. Even if you never nurse these make great gifts. And trust me, you can't have to many. I had two and got plenty of use out of both. There are so many pretty patterns that it's very hard to pick. If and when I nurse again I'll probably want another cover just because I'll need an excuse to get it in more colours! They wash well, fit in anything since they fold up small, and are extremely fashionable. I even used one when I was a bridesmaid and nursed at the head table! If you don't use it yourself I promise some mom will think it's the best present ever.

And the winner is......

I was going to capture this on video for you all to watch but I couldn't make it work. So here are a few snapshots of the draw process for our "Shower of Sunshine" Gymboree gift certificate give away!

Here are all the contestants names in a bowl ready to get picked!

Here is Little Lady taking a look!

And Drawing a name!

She kept touching them but not picking one up.....

Then finally....

Cool Contest!

Damselfly over at Growing A Life is having a really great contest that I just have to get in on! I've never actually entered one of these before but had been planning on having a similar birthday blog contest for my baby in the next couple of weeks (keep watching for more details). Damesfly's little Flybaby is turning one the week of September 3 - 7th and to celebrate they're having a special "Growing And Giving" contest going on through out the week! Some of the items include Gymboree clothes and a Gap gift card! These are some of the greatest gifts I've seen anyone give away so head on over and sign up yourself! Or don't and give me more chances to win ;o)
