Welcome. Take off Your Shoes and Stay Awhile.
The Mommy Bits Moving Day Giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered, tweeted, blogged and updated their blogrolls/readers. Check back later tonight (after I put the kids to bed) for the winners!
Hello and welcome to the new home of Mommy Bits!! I am so excited to finally unveil the new design and new address- www.mommybits.net! I hope you’ll all take a quick moment to update your blogroll and reader (Pleaseeeeeeee!!!).
For Mommy Bit’s makeover I turned to the amazing Shannon Entin (Phat Mommy). Shannon and I met back in July at BlogHer08. In addition to being an awesome Mom, I discovered that she is also a very talented web designer. Working with Shannon was so easy. If you’re looking to redesign your blog, I’d highly recommend working with her. She really listened when I talked about the things I liked/disliked. I can’t thank or endorse her enough!!
To celebrate the move, and to help spread the word about the change in the Mommy Bits URL, I’m hosting the MOMMY BITS MOVING DAY GIVEAWAY and I hope you’ll agree it’s one EXCELLENT giveaway.
All of the items you’ll read about below were donated by their respective companies (Isn’t that awesome?!?!). I hope you’ll all thank them for their support by clicking on the links below. Without them The Mommy Bits Moving Day Giveaway would not have happened.
WHAT: Mommy Bits Moving Day Giveaway!
WHEN: November 1st – November 9th
All prize winners, including the winner of the Grand Prize, will be announced November 10th.
WHAT: An amazing array of prizes!
Grand prize – One lucky reader will win:
Lands’ End Women’s Regular ThermaCheck® 100 Half-zip Pullover, in your choice of color! (Quantity 1)
The ThermaCheck® 100 Half-zip resists static shock, static cling, and pesky particles like lint, pet hair and dust! The pullover is part of Lands’ End’s ThermaCheck Sport collection, which is lighter-weight and thinner than original ThermaCheck — making it ideal for layering and cool-weather exercising.
Brita / Filter For Good Gift Pack (Quantity 1)
Gift pack features a Brita water pitcher and a reusable (BPA-FREE) Filter For Good water bottle as seen on “The Biggest Loser.”
Case of Environmentally Friendly Primo Water (Quantity 5)
Primo is a new bottled water which offers the convenience of bottled water for families on-the-go without the eco-guilt. Primo’s bottles are made from plants, not crude oil, like traditional plastic water bottles, and is affordable at $4.99 for an 18-pack case. Primo is currently available at all Target, Albertsons, Publix and all Kroger and Kroger owned banner stores, Lowes Foods, Hannaford, Sweetbay and Winn Dixie stores.
50 FREE Snapfish.com Credits (Quantity 1)
Snapfish is my favorite resource for printing and sharing my families photos. To show how much I love them I’m throwing in a gift card I received from Snapfish at BlogHer08. The card is good for 50 FREE 4×6 prints.
In addition to the Grand Prize, I’ll be drawing winners for each of the following items:
Yoplait Kids Prize Pack/ Cocoa Puffs Combos Cereal (Quantity Available 5)
Prize pack includes a coupon for a free box of Cocoa Puffs Combos and a free six-pack of the drink-able or spoon-able Yoplait Kids yogurt, a cute travel cooler and a BrainQuest trivia game for ages 2-3.
eebee’s adventures DVD Set (Quantity 1)
eebee’s adventures are designed to engage you and your baby with rich play experiences that provide powerful lessons that memorizing letters, numbers, colors and shapes simply can and do not.
Case of Environmentally Friendly Primo Water (Quantity Available 5)
Primo is a new bottled water which offers the convenience of bottled water for families on-the-go without the eco-guilt. Primo’s bottles are made from plants, not crude oil, like traditional plastic water bottles, and is affordable at $4.99 for an 18-pack case. Primo is currently available at all Target, Albertsons, Publix and all Kroger and Kroger owned banner stores, Lowes Foods, Hannaford, Sweetbay and Winn Dixie stores.
Set of Global Wonders DVDs (Quantity Available 2)
Global Wonder DVDS are a series of programs designed to expose children ages 2-7 to the customs and lifestyles of other cultures. Created by the former Executive Producer for Disney’s “Baby Einstein,” the videos open children’s eyes and ears to the worlds of various cultures through food, playing games, vocabulary and traditions.
PBS Kids SPROUT Gift Package (Quantity 1)
A favorite in the Boyer household, PBS Kids Sprout has generously donated a prize package full of Sprout themed items.
