Toddler Bistro Box winner & new product giveaway--Slurp & Burp Nursing Cover

Ok so FIRST off, please forgive my spelling error in the video!  Ugggh I misspelled the Bistro Box and didn't catch it until the entire process was totally done.  I just couldn't bring myself to starting over and figured you could overlook it:).  AMY is our winner of the Toddler Bistro Box for ages 1-3! Congratulations Amy! This week, with the help of my husband, we dangled our son upside-down by his ankles to choose our winner!  Watch the video to see.  (If you get email notification of our new blog entries via email by signing up and you are reading this as an email, you will have to visit our blog to view the video).  You will also get to see a sneak peak at the new shop we are building for Mom 4 Life on our property and this weeks product giveaway in action (sort of)!  For those of you who didn't win the Toddler Bistro Box , you can get it for 10% off (and don't forget that Mom 4 Life has free shipping on ALL US orders) until Friday the 24th.

This week you can win a Slurp & Burp nursing cover!  Many of you commented last week that this was one of your favorite new items on our site.  This new cover up is provides a built in burp rag and discreet, convenient nursing.  This is perfect for kids that don't like to be covered up while nursing and for warm weather and with the built in burp cloth it becomes quite multifunctional! 

Part1 Part2

To win this Slurp & Burp: 1) Simply find some way on line to share this product giveaway, blog or website (or even better all of the above:)!  You could post about it on your blog (if you have one), mention it on a message board, email some friends. . . 2) Post a comment by clicking on the "comments" link below letting me know how you spread the word, including the URL link if applicable.  In the comments box it will ask for your URL, if you don't have a website or blog, just leave this blank:). 3) Sit back, relax and hope you win!  This week's contest ends Wed the 22nd at 9PM PST.

P.S. For "extra points toward winning" (not really but it would be great if you wanted to;), please rate our video by putting your cursor in the lower right hand corner of the YouTube video screen after the video plays and click on the star number you want to rate our video (there is an option of up to five stars).

I've been wanting to try this out - perfect opportunity! It looks like a great product!

your videos always put a smile on my face. Your kids are adorable! Did you guys move from Redlands?

I will be putting a link up on my blog later, and will also be letting my other nursing moms on a message board I visit! thanks for another great giveaway!

This looks like another great product! I also like looking at your videos! Count me in! :)

I just love the nursing cover. It will be very useful for when we have our next baby. I emailed alot of friends to let them know about your website and encouraged them to visit and to pass the word about it. Thanks for the oportunity to win this great item.

I put up my post today about the slurp and burp. I added your button.

What great timing! I was just talking about this product with a friend this week. I emailed her the information. I will now let her know about your contest.

I love these giveaways! This is definitely something I could use :) I posted on my blog today.

I love your website and all the neato products you carry.
I posted a link to your contest on my myspace page.
I'm so happy I came across your store site on Ebay.

Heather,

I don't have a blog, or website...but I did talk about your on my cafemom.com website. It is similar to a myspace, for Moms!!!

I have to say, the slurp and burp is such a fabulous inventions! Mommy's are sooo smart. This would work well for my son! He is now 5 months old, and he hates to be all covered up when nursing. And burping...he spits up ALL the time, so this would work really well for him!

And one more thing...I LOVED the out takes at the end of your video! Breastfeeding is GREAT!! So convienient, and healthy! How old is your daughter? How often does she still nurse? I am trying to figure out how long I am going to go!

Love your site! Just spread the word on my blog. With my second baby due in a few weeks I could really use this product!!

I so much love this site, and have a love/hate relationship with your newsletter. Could you please include only bland, boring, useless items in it for the next few months. You see, we are saving to buy a larger house and the temptation of the news letters is not helping. Seriously, I love your site, your service and you products. I posted about you on http://www.mamaslounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=3263

Thank you! I can't wait to get my order that shipped today!

I happened upon your site while looking for some things, and loved it! We've got an order placed and will soon be placing another.

I shared about your site in both an online chat to my sister (both of us are moms of 2 little ones), and on the babycenter.com home birth message board.

I posted about this product on my blog. That is a fantastic idea! Nursing clothing is expensive, and covering a child is rarely accepted by the child.
This is a great product for large breasted women, because it is nearly impossible to stay discreet for us.

Pass info on to other friends! Awesome ideas!

Well, I'm of course linking this on my contest page and again think you are just the cutest! I love how you do your contests!!!

Steph

What a cool product!! This would make a great baby shower gift. I hope I win this!!

Thanks for the great contest!

Thanks for the great contest!

I would love to win this nursing wrap! I am all about modesty...and keeping under something when in public! Count me in! Thanks!

woohoo!!!!!!! I LOVE Mom4Life! Thank you so much! I spread the word by emailing EVERYONE and posting on my blog as well.

Just emailed some friends about your site and the contest. I love this product, my daughter is going through a picky stage wehre she will only eat well in certain setting and with nothing over her, but apparently she isn't suffering nutritionally, she has those beautiful baby rolls!

I've been spreading the love - great product . . . this would make me feel so much more comfortable about breastfeeding.

I am a brand new blogger. I only have 3 posts, but this is #3! If you wanted to look at it and give me suggestions on how to more appropriately post it for easier viewing, I need all the help I can get.

I love your new space! How cool is that?

I love your website and blog! I put a banner for you on my blog but don't know how to make it an active link. Thank you for having such great giveaways :)

I just posted on my blog about your giveaway. I LOVE the concept. My baby HATES to be covered up!

I don't have a blog but I'm going to email my friends about your product and the giveaway.

Thanks for offering this! That is so kind of you--
What a great site you have here, I'm so glad I wandered in...

http://farmfreshiowa.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-totally-want-this.html

Thanksfor the great gieaway!!!

I posted about the contest on my blog!

I sent an email about your giveaway and included a link to your blog. I think I would love this product!!!!

Wow! I am so excited about this nursing coverup! My little one hates being covered completely by a blanket so I hope I win! I am sending out emails to all my breast friends and also posting on some of my fav baby websites. I am also posting on my kids' website for anyone who checks it out. Thanks for this opportunity to share a cool product!

I have forwarded your site info to all my pregnant and already mommy friends and posted about it over at babyfit.com.

This looks like such a great product... I would love to win it!

How awesome of you to do giveaways! My husband and I are having our second baby (2 under 2!) and I'm trying my hand at breastfeeding this time...the cover looks SO great- thanks for the opportunity!

I will be sure and email my friend who had her son a week after me know about this product and your web site....I also tell all my nursing moms at church about this web site. I love how you donate to Open Arms Preg Center - I know you will be blessed in business for this!

Love the video! Great product! Now that I have a newborn and am nursing again it will certainly come in handy! I have posted a entry about this great giveaway in my blog!

Thanks!

I would love to win a second S&B, in a different color...

Here's my post:

http://superdumbsupervillain.blogspot.com/2007/08/slurpee.html

This product looks particularly appealing to me since I live in Arizona. We have balmy, warm weather almost all year long and covering baby with a blanket just isn't practical! I'd love to win!

My information above may be wrong, and I wanted to give you the right info in case I am the lucky winner of the nursing wrap! I love it!
