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.

Announcements
Beginning Jan 1, 2010, when you sign up to volunteer a day of service with a participating organization (and your service is completed and verified) you’ll get one day admission to a Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® theme park…FREE! The goal of the “Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.” promotion is to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service. How cool is that?
Happy 1st Blogiversary to Mommy News & Views Blog {the official blog of A Mother’s Boutique}. Judy is hosting a big bash during the month of October to celebrate the milestone…with lots of breastfeeding-related giveaways. I’ll be at the party, for sure. Care to join me?
5 Minutes for Going Green {a sister site of 5 Minutes for Mom} is looking for contributors.
Good Reads
This is how I feel lately: I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Steph Precourt {Adventures in Babywearing}.
Vanessa {I Never Grew Up} recently featured me as her Monday’s Maven. I’m honored and delighted.
Miscellany
I really, really want one of these: Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer.
I said it once and I’ll say it again. When I become a billionaire, I want to hire Dana {MADE} to be my daughters’ clothing designer. Just check out her latest creation (and swoon): desert beauty.
This post made me smile: Cora Plays Peek-A-Boo {The Happy Housewife}.
I STILL haven’t been to IKEA. But when I eventually go, I’m going to buy a set of these bowls for kids ($1.99/6 pack!!!).
Brittany {Tangled and True} recently discovered the best vintage alphabet cards (and now I want them too).
I like all of the “career exploration” theme parks and attractions that are popping up across the globe: Wannado City, Pretend City, and Kidzania.

You always have a huge dose of great Tuesday morning reading! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
We used to live a couple minutes from IKEA… their stuff looks better in print than it does in real life, but you can’t beat 1.99 for those BOWLS.
We have those bowls from IKEA and they are great! We also have the matching utensils. We love that place :)
As always, you offer such value in your blog posts.

The Disney promotion sounds like a great idea – I hope they get good response!
I pretty much can’t get over how cute the clothes are that Dana at MADE makes. Just about keeled over with all of her clever clothes! Who knew a men’s button down shirt could be the cutest dress ever! I love the gems you find and pass on to us!
THANK YOU!
BTW…did you know you won on my site? Let me know if I need to resend you the email! I think b/c you’re on vacation you may have not gotten to it yet…just send me an email when you can! : ) I’ll wait for ya!
Ikea is 5 mins from me and it is dangerous!!
