Connor's Birthday Bash Prize List :

Current Prizes :
  • Nina and Tom - $50 gift certificate to one winner! - Nina and Tom is one our favorite designers in baby and children's tshirts! They offer a (mostly but soon to be totally) organic line of clothing that is made entirely here in the US! Some of our favorites include the "I'm this many tshirt" and the "Comfy shorts" thus far those are the only shorts that I have found that actually fit my teenie man's little waist.
  • Braincandy - Tshirt and DVD to one winner! - Braincandy is one of the best DVD series for developing minds. Featuring an unusual cast of "parts" Braincandy explores the senses in a way I have never seen till now. Truly eye candy their DVDs are beautiful and educational.
  • Umi Shoes - a pair of Pram or Prewalkers to one lucky winner - Umi is one of our favorite shoes for small feet. I would wear them myself if my feet were just a tiny bit smaller. Simply stunning shoes that will make your child stand out anywhere they walk (or crawl).
  • Riley Roos - Two pairs of Sandals to two lucky winners! - Riley Roos come in a fun selection of styles and colors as well as being soo incredibly soft on those precious little feet. A perfect and very affordable shoe for the toddler set!
  • Peppers and Pollywogs - Five Winners! - The ultimate guide to planning and hosting your child's birthday party. Without it I would have been lost in planning Connor's first birthday party!
  • Snapfish - Gift Cards to four lucky winners! - Snapfish is a great place to not only make photo copies from all those great digital prints you have, but I highly recommend that you check out their photo books which is my personal favorite.
  • Robeez Tredz - Two Pairs to Two Winners, one boy, one girl! - Made famous by their amazing soft soled shoes that are not only adorable but nearly impossible for the child to remove. I personally keep a pair in my diaper bag at all times and use them like I would socks. Robeez Tredz are the new toddler version that not only has many of the same great features of their soft soles but now sports a new outdoor safe sole as well as an extended size range for toddlers!
  • Pediped - Two winners! One 0-6m boy, One size 10 girl! From crib shoes to kindergarten, Pediped offers a line of shoes that will take your child from the bassinet to his or her first day of school! Incredibly stylish with very flexible soles, perfect for those developing feet and fashion conscious mommies.
  • Deglingos - One Winner - Some of our favorite plush friends! Each of the Delingos clan is made from a great assortment of fabrics that gives them a look and a feel unlike anything else I have seen! We love them all so much I'd have a hard time picking our favorite but Connor is awfully fond of Molos which happens to sound a lot like Melos!
  • Happy Panda Baby - FOUR Winners!! - Happy Panda has generously donated four $25 gift certificates. Happy Panda carries an adorable selection of clothing for the "tall and large" baby. Though smaller babies will also love Pam's clothing please check out the sizing chart as they run big. We especially love the panda pants and panda onesies!
  • Huggies Clean Team Products - The ENTIRE line of Clean Team Products sponsored by Huggies Clean Team! If you didn't know about Clean Team in the past, its a great line of baby, toddler, and kid friendly bath and "clean up" products including some great smelling shampoos! (I LOVE The blue melon!)
  • Bibi and Mimi - One Winner! - Bimi and Mimi offers an adorable line of soft soled shoes and matching apparel! We especially love their line of socks including the stripe baby socks! They are giving away one pair of their Monkey soft sole shoes in size 18-24m
  • Announcements Galore - One Winner! - Announcements Galore offers a gorgous selection of fully customizable invitations, announcements and collages and many of their designs you can choose to have them printed or print them yourself! They are offering one custom collage to one winner!
And from Seven Dog's own swag bag :
  • Baby Love Slings - One Winner - A toddler sling in a beautiful blue print. It was ment for a birthday present for Connor but we'd love to give it to one of our readers. We always love to share! The perfect present for a toddler or young child that grew up in his or her own sling and now wants to pamper some of their own toys/stuffed animals.
  • Lobotome - One Winner - MomMe Daily Planner a great fill in the blanks weekly planner for busy moms!
  • Gelaskins - Two Winners -The coolest way to protect your electronics! I have two ipod nano (gen 3) covers to give away!
  • An assortment of books - I'm going to be giving away an assortment of ARC books from my collection. There will be at least two winners possibly more depending on how many participants we have! Each winner will be given a choice of books to choose from until we have given away the entire stash, one book per winner.
That brings our current prize listings to well over $530!

The giveaway for the Door Prizes will end on April 27th and will be awarded the following week. Each party game will run on a standard one week entry so some of them may run a bit longer.

That brings us to Mr. Linky!

Happy birthday, Connor!! It's fun to be celebrating your big day with you, cyber-style.

As for a little about me, I'd like to share with you HOW MUCH I like birthdays. We celebrate true and half-birthdays in our house... any chance to celebrate is a good one, right?! My husbands birthday is coming up in may, so I'm currently on the lookout for some extra special ways to show him how loved and appreciated he is. I'm hoping to gleem some great ideas from Connor! Looking forward to the party!!

Cheers, laura

Please forgive me if this posts twice. I'm not absolutely sure my first post went through.

Happy birthday Connor! I am not a blogger because I'm not sure I'd have the skills to start and/or update one. I do, however, enjoy reading others blogs and indulging in their lives. I am a 31 yoa married mother of three children (girl 14 and boys 9 and 8) and three step-children (girls 13, 7, and 5). It is quite a blended family but I wouldn't have it any other way. I work as a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the local fire, police, ambulance, sheriff agency. I enjoy scrapbooking, entering sweepstakes, camping, and spending time with friends/family.
I visited 7 of the blog sites. I enjoyed going to them and reading them. Here's the 7 I visited and posted on:
1. All Because Two People Fell In Love
2. Mommy Mandy
3. Happy Is A Choice
4. Welcome to the Motherhood
5. Kristys Stuff
6. Kailas Mommy
7. Seeryus Mama
Love the giveaway prizes. Hope I win one.

Happy birthday, Connor, I hope you've had a fabulous first year! It really does go so quickly, I didn't believe people when they told me that during my daughter's first 3 months of life, but now as we're approaching her first birthday at the end of May I find myself continually asking where did all the time go!

I visited most of the sites that were listed above me on the link, and left my first 5 comments on Joanna, NinaandTom, Kristin, Mary @ Adventures in Mommyland and Andrea's blogs.

Like you, I'm a first time mom approaching my little girl's first birthday. My hubby and I live in the Phoenix area, are both teachers (him in a high school, me at Arizona State) and I am working on finishing my dissertation in history.

What a gret way to Celebrate a Childs first birthday! I love this and am excited to be a part of something like this! My first childs 1st birthday was one were i requested that everyone bring a letter for him so that years later we could read them...sort of like a time capsule. Then when he turned 2 I had everyone bring their Favorite book for him and we gave everyone a copy of our favorite book! Again Happy 1st birthday little one!
