Giveaway on Baby Bunching.com: Polarn O. Pyret Kids Clothing

My friend Linda at Baby Bunching knows kids' clothing. Her and partner Cara's trademarked phrase Baby Bunching™ means "two years of pregnancy and back-to-back infants and toddlers with nary a break for you. Baby Bunching means chaos for you, and your little twiblings."

Right now Linda and Cara are giving away cute kids outfits by Swedish clothing company Polarn O. Pyret that, get this, have snazzy unisex stripes, great quality and a heartiness that can survive two kids, back to back, of either gender!

Get thee over to Baby Bunching and enter their giveaway! Leave a comment on the post about what you look for most in kids' clothing and they'll pick two winners of the Polarn O. Pyret outfits next week. And if you sign up for the PO.P+ newsletter, you'll receive a 15% discount on your shopping.

This post is not prompted by swag or cash, just a hearty endorsement of Baby Bunching creator, writer and super mom Linda Kerr's rockin' recommendations!

Disney Family.com's Website and Sweepstakes

I'm dreaming of a luxe vacation,
Just like the ones I used to know...

The prospect of having an all-expenses-paid visit to the famous Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson, Arizona and leaving the winter cold behind makes me want to sing. I just entered Disney Family.com's latest sweepstakes, you can too, and maybe one of us will win a fancy getaway with our spouse.

Enter here.

Additionally, three runner-ups will either receive a fully-loaded Dell Inspiron laptop, a $500 shopping spree at New York and Company, or $500 to spend on pampering themselves.

It’s all thanks to Disney Family.com’s brand new, mom-focused website, offering tips and advice on how to look better, do better and feel better in 2009. I'm enjoying the Makeover Mom section on how to look and feel better. Hope you do too!

Giveaway Winners of Scholastic Books & A Prize for Everyone

The three winners of the hardcover copy of Scholastic's LaRue for Mayor: Letters from the campaign trail are

Lisa of My Little Pumpkin & Sweet Pea
Stephanie S.
Erika

But we're all winners and here's why. Amanda, the amazing contact at Scholastic that offers these great giveaways for APISS reader families, sent us the coolest link. She recommends going to the American Library Association website where parents and kids can make their very own free, customized mini-posters on reading. It reminds me of those great posters that came with our book orders in the '80s, you know, "Hang in there" with the kitten on the tree branch, "Lose Yourself in a Book" or "Reading Rocks!" Choose from four different styles, upload a photo and customize the text.

So double thanks Scholastic for hosting these giveaways. Make that triple: look for more election book giveaways for kids in October.

Winners were determined by numbering comments & utilizing the integer generator on Random.org.
