If you’re a regular reader, you know that See Kai Run is my favorite brand for toddler shoes. You can win a pair over at Jackie’s Thoughts now through July 2.

Win a plate and utensil set from Boon over at Mama Sparkles. The deadline is June 2. 

We own the BabyBjorn Potty Chair and it’s fantastic! Mamanista is giving one away on her blog right now. Enter before July 3.

Enjoy the summer sunshine, but don’t forget to protect your skin! Win one of three Safe Is The New Sexy Summer Clinique Giveaway packs on Mythbuster Beauty. Deadline: July 4. 

I have always loved quotes. In fact, I have a “quote book” where I jot down quotes that I come across that are particularly inspirational, witty, or wonderful. How fun would it be to take one of those quotes and put it on my wall! I’m so entering to win $50 to Quote the Walls over at Fun and Free Give Aways. Deadline: July 6.
