Tuesday Tours: What’s Happening on the Web

Contests 

Writers and creative souls, put on your thinking caps! Come up with a tagline for the BlogHer 2008 conference and your blog name could appear on the conference tote bag. Now that’s what I call excellent exposure…even if you can’t attend! Deadline: June 4. 

I’m actually not excited about the Sex & City movie premiere (but apparently quite a few of you are since it made TONS of money at the box office this past weekend), but I AM excited about winning the soundtrack and a $25 gift certificate to Fandango. Enter at Lookit! I Spy before June 4. 

I absolutely adore the little hair clips from Oopsie Dazie, which is why I’m entering for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate over at Fun and Free Giveaways. Deadline: June 5. 

Win a beauty/fitness package valued at $340 over at A Mom in Red High Heels. I’m in it for the Stylist Curl Foam. Deadline: June 5. 

Isn’t it fun to win clothes for YOU every once in awhile? Win a t-shirt and vintage pink trucker cap from Salty Chix over at An Island Life. Deadline: June 6. 

Shoes, shoes, glorious shoes! Enter to win a $100 e-certificate to Zappos over at Green & Clean Mom before June 7. 

Looking for a (free) gift to present to your husband or dad this Father’s Day? Enter to win a HomeHero Alarm and a $30 gift card to Home Depot at An Island Life before June 7. 

Little tracksuits are the cutest! Win one for your little “sport” over at The Wee Review…now through June 7. 

When you have a crawling baby, it is sometimes nice to have somewhere to “contain” him/her for a minute while you make dinner, take a shower, etc. I’ve heard good things about the BebePOD Plus and Traveling with Baby is giving one away…now through June 8. 

Do you have a little princess? Win a $100 gift certificate to My Princess Closet over at One Chic Mama. Deadline: June 8.  

5 Minutes for Mom is giving away a year’s supply of Reddi-wip and Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream to one lucky winner. Cherry Garcia, here I come! Leave a comment before June 11.

Announcements

An Island Life is hosting the equivalent of the Oscars for Bloggers. Nominate the blogs you love for the 2008 Bloggy Hoss Awards before June 6. 

5 Minutes for Mom is looking for Contributing Editors/Writers for their site. This would be a fantastic way to increase your online presence because 5M4M is “on the move” and they are currently rated as one of the Top 10 Mothering blogs by Technorati. 

Yet another reason to love See Kai Run! For every pair of SKR shoes purchased in June, SKR will match it with a donation to a child in need. 

Posh Mama is looking for Guest Contributors for this summer. If you are interested in being a Guest Contributor, please send your credentials, urls to blogs, etc. and a list of “topics” that you truly enjoy to write about or love doing to poshmama@poshmama.com.

Miscellany

This is such a funny shirt: “Congratulations! You get to sit near me.” Perfect for your next airline adventure with your baby or toddler! 

I can’t help but laugh out loud at this collection of photos on ManBabies.com - dads and babies heads switched on their bodies! A little bit creepy, a lot hysterical!

Have a brand new baby? Send this message loud and clear: “Please wash your hands before touching mine.”

Hallmark recently hosted the Daddy of All Dance-Offs competition. You can watch the finalists dance and cast your vote now through June 6.
