CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY!!!

I'm so excited!

CSN stores recently contacted me about doing a CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY on my blog. I couldn't be more excited about one of my friends or family or followers winning a free gift this season.

I decided that the CSN baby store would be a perfect place to start looking for the special giveaway gift, since I have small kids and I think most of my friends do too. I loved most of their products and had a hard time choosing. They have super-cute crib bedding, diaper bags, strollers, and accessories. I had to laugh at the Peter Potty baby urinal because I was almost tempted to get one when I was potty training Saxon. If you haven't seen one, be ready to laugh! For those of you living with brothers, sons, or husbands, can you imagine a world where you don't have to check for drips on the seat before you sit down?

Finally, I decided on the HOTSLINGS baby carrier because I have one and I LOVE it! I bought it just after Bridger was born because I was flying to California with both kids and no husband. It was nice to have Bridger snuggled up close in his sling while I tried to navigate the airport with my 2 year old Saxon. Supposedly you can even nurse your baby while they are in there, but I never tried it. I also love to go for long walks but I don't have a double jogging stroller, so I would put Bridger in his sling and Saxon in the stroller and off we'd go.


(This is how you wear it with little babies)

(And this is how you use it with bigger babies)

I haven't put Bridger in his since he learned to walk, so just for fun, I thought we'd try it out.
He still fits :)
So...here are the rules:

1. To enter, just leave me a comment letting me know that you want a free HotSling for Christmas!

2. To get an extra entry, post about it on your blog or facebook with a link to my blog letting all of your friends know about the giveaway also. If you have more than one blog, you can get an extra entry for each blog you post about the giveaway on. Just leave me an additional comment telling me that you posted about it on you blog.

3. I need to be able to contact you, whether it is through your blog or email, so that I can give your contact information to CSN and they can ship you your new HOTSLING.

4. The contest ends on Sunday, December 20th and I'll announce the winner on Monday, December 21. The winner will be chosen at random.

5. If you win, you can go onto the www.csnbaby.com and pick out your "Everyday Baby Sling" pattern and then let me know which one you choose as soon as possible. They have lots of cute designs.

6. Anyone can enter. You don't have to have kids. These kind of slings usually sell for around $50, so it would make a great gift if you know someone who would love it.

Thanks CSN Stores for letting us do this fun GIVEAWAY! Click on the links to check out the cute nursery ideas, crib bedding,and some of their other products :)

Hi....I would love to have one for Dayna...her baby is almost a week old and still in nicu. She hasn't been able to cuddle him or even hold him much with all those tubes. When he comes home I would love for her to be able to snuggle with him in a hotsling baby carrier!
Love, Aunt Joan
