Bloggers for Babies – Update and Giveaway!

Posted on | January 19, 2011 | 23 Comments

it’s been 2 weeks since i originally posted about bloggers for babies, my attempt to get as many people raising as much money for babies as possible. i’m excited to say today that my team is now 8 people strong and together we have raised over 600 dollars! i’m seriously stoked on how well this whole thing is going so far. thank you to everyone who has signed up or contributed!

a few things right off the bat – one, we need more people to walk with us! if you are in the PNW, please join in! i’ve had some people ask who is allowed to join – um, YOU! seriously everyone! click here to go to our team page and click the blue button to add yourself as a team member. don’t make me come after you, people.

secondly, if you are a blogger in another city and want to make your own bloggers for babies team, email me and i’d be happy to make you a banner like the one i made for my team. then you can start raising a boatload for march of dimes in your town. a few people have already done this, including katie from pickles & paisleys and cole at cole’s first blog. you should be next!

now. it’s time to kick this shiz up a notch and raise even more money. i bring forth to you, the interwebs, a lovely giveaway full of lots of neat things. all you have to do is donate! shall we take a look at the goods?

a $50 shop credit to bird e studios!

bibs, burp cloths, diaper clutches and dog collars in gorgeous prints. check out the new baby blankets, so cute!

choice of onesie or tee from the spunky stork!

organic clothes for little ones with fun and funky designs. super soft, super cute and yeah! that’s my kid!

choice of any headband from twenty five design!

lovely accessories! headbands, rings, cuffs and necklaces that i love so much, i gave some as gifts this past christmas. adore!

$20 shop credit to tres jolie bebe!

adorable handmade items for your little one. what else to say but cute! baby shoes, quilts, clothing, decor and more.

mama necklace from ripegoods!

absolutely gorgeous jewelry. i have the mama necklace and i promise you, you will love it. don’t worry if you’re not a mama, it’s custom so you can use any date and initials you’d like :)

$50 credit to opal vintage!

if you love vintage and kitsch, opal is the place for you. baby and toddler wear, dresses, stuff for the kitchen and all sorts of goodies, added weekly.

super awesome yes? YES.

so. the deal is, every $5 you donate is one entry. there are no extra entries, but we would love it if you wanted to spread the word via facebook and twitter on your own. remember the more entries, the more moola for babies.

please leave a comment here if you donate so i can match you up with your donation (i’m making an excel spreadsheet to keep track of everything as well as make my nerdy side happy). to donate, thus entering you in the running to win one of these awesome prizes, click here.

    I donated! I used my crappy old hotmail paypal login but I swear it was me!

    I’ll be walking here in Connecticut too but just as moral support for my Stroller Strides team – I’ve been slacking off on signing up and doing any fundraising.
