Tuesday Tours: What’s Happening on the Web
By metropolitanmama | May 13, 2008
Welcome to “Tuesday Tours: What’s Happening on the Web” where I serve as your tour guide and showcase the best contests, freebies, deals, and reads for moms on the web…all in one convenient location.
Contests
Jo-Lynne at Musings of a Housewife is giving away a Boho Baby Sling. Hurry! This contest closes May 14.
tutus and turtles is giving away a pair of Bugaboo shoes in your choice of style and color. Pick your favorite before May 15.
Stewart + Brown offers eco-friendly clothing for women that isn’t at all needy in the fashion department. I could definitely wear this scoop v tee, this 1/2 sleeve hoody, and this plaid short short. Win a $100 gift certificate to S + B over at One Chic Mama. Deadline: May 16.
You know how I’m giving away a Lipton Fuji Crosstown 2.0 bike right now? Rachel at Fitness for Mommies is giving one away too - and I so want to win. Bike riding seems like a nice alternative to running in the summer. The deadline is May 16.
Eden’s Bouquet features timeless, one-of-a-kind clothing for little girls and the Windy Ridge Chronicles is giving away a $50, $100, and $250 gift certificate to three lucky winners right now. Enter before May 16.
I’ve seen the Scootababy baby carrier around the blogosphere and it looks like a comfortable and classic carrier - especially perfect for older babies and toddlers. Want to win one? Leave a comment at Mamanista! before May 16.
This cupcake pillow and sham from Olive Kids is absolutely scrumptious and Stephanie over at Close to Home agrees. You can win the set by leaving a comment before May 16.
Do you have an infant to 5-year-old that needs a pair of shades for the summer? Read Mom of 3 Girls’ review of Baby/Kids Banz and then enter to win a pair of your own before May 16. P.S. As of right now, there are only 7 entries in this contest!
This is my favorite contest of the week. One Chic Mama is giving away a Roomba 560, a vacuum that cleans by itself. Enter before May 17.
Michelle over at Scribbit hosts a “Write-Away Contest” and this month’s theme is “Shoes.” Write a post on that topic, follow the contest rules, and you could walk away with a $50 gift certificate to Payless ShoeSource. Deadline: May 18.
Win a Little Windows Small Square Custom Necklace over at superdumb supervillain. These necklaces are lovely and such a great way to keep your little ones near your heart even when you have to be APART. Leave a comment before May 18.
It’s swimsuit shopping season and I have my eye on this one from Swimsuits for All. What’s that you say? Kristen McLane is giving away a $50 gift certificate to that shop on her blog? You’ll find me over there leaving a comment before May 20.
Has anyone noticed how stylish and classy the Ann Taylor LOFT Maternity collection is? Mama Loves Giveaways is gifting one lucky mama-to-be with a $100 gift certificate. Leave a comment before May 22 for your chance to walk away in style.
Win a white Silverlake Leather Flap handbag by SAK over at An Ordinary Life. This bag looks perfect for summer - all my bags are black or brown (boring!). Leave a comment before May 25.
SAK again - Be one of 15 women to win a SAK Canvas Convertible Satchel with 3 HarperCollins summer books inside. Enter the contest before the end of the month.
