    Tuesday Tours: What’s Happening on the Web

    By Stephanie | January 6, 2010

    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

    Lizzy is giving away a Boba Organic Carrier (which is a super comfortable carrier, by the way). Enter to win before Jan. 15.

    Claire of Life in Chicago Reviews is giving away a Moby Wrap. The deadline is Jan. 18 (my birthday…ahem).

    Have you heard all of the fanfare about Ree’s new book – The Pioneer Woman Cooks? Well, it looks pretty fantastic to me so I’m going to enter to win one of 10 copies from Chic Galleria. Deadline: Jan. 18 (did I mention that’s my birthday?).

    I want to win a Zigo Leader X2 Carrier Bicycle. Do you? Deadline: Jan. 30.

    Announcements

    My Mom 2.0 Ticket is still up for sale…for CHEAP! E-mail me at stephanie@metropolitanmama.net or DM me @stephsday. If you know someone who might be interested, won’t you forward that link or send out a tweet for me?

    In or around Somerset, NJ? Consider attending NetWork: Part Time & Work From Home Expo on January 10th, 2010. I hope this concept goes nationwide!

    Mom Central, “the premier firm specializing in Marketing to Moms,” is hiring an Account Supervisor and Senior Project Manager. I’m not sure if these jobs are remote or on-location in MA, but I think that company would be super fun to work for!

    Caryn {Rockin’ Mama} had her second baby…a little girl…and she is super sweet. Scoot on over there and say congratulations, why don’t you?

    Good Reads

    VeganYumYum shares some excellent Food Photography Tips for Bloggers.

    Going on a trip? Read – A Little Negotiation…Five Ways to Pay Less for Your Car Rental {A Little Adrift}.

    Miscellany

    Jyl {Mom it Forward} made Handmade and Personalized Christmas Stockings for her family this past year…and I love the idea! I hope she posts a step-by-step tutorial…

      Such great links, Stephanie. I’ve heard about Pioneer Woman’s cookbook; I need to go enter too! And that organic baby carrier sounds awesome, even if my kids are way past that stage!

      Hugs,

      Love the food photography tips. I’m rotten at photographing food. Maybe I’ll get better at it with these tips!

      Thanks for all the tips. I’m definitely interested in the Pioneer woman cook book. I’ve tried to take our food prep to a place of simplicity lately.

      My Sister bought me the Pioneer Woman cookbook for Christmas… it’s still in the mail so I haven’t seen it yet, but I can’t wait until it gets here!

      Oh and stockings – my 90 year-old grandmother knitted all of our stockings as we were born and so this year gave me what will probably be the last stocking she’ll knit – Goose’s stocking. It’s a treasure, one we’ll keep for all time.
