Some of the kids that were entered in past contests via this website have gone on to be seen in Sesame Street, Fisher Price, Disney and Sears ads. You have to check this out for yourself.
There are also monthly contests that you can enter under various categories. I will post a few of the categories here but you can browse them all on the website.

A new Dreamworks movie How To Train Your Dragon is coming to theaters this Friday March 26th, 2010. I am so excited about this movie coming out. I love Dreamworks movies. They always make awesome movies that both my children and myself love and watch over and over again.
How To Train Your Dragon is coming out in 3D. Check out the trailer. It looks amazing.
You can visit the official movie website for a chance to win a WII.
Enjoy the movie.
I have to blog about this child restraint harness. This is absolutely an amazing product in my personal opinion. I am so happy to have found it. We live far away from my parent's and fly to visit them often. I will be buying this child restraint harness now and using every time we go on the plane. What a blessing.
Anyone out there that has purchased this child restraint harness and used it, please leave comments for the rest of us. We would love to hear the feedback and comments about this product.
Cares claims the following about their product; The Cares child restraint harness is good for 22 to 44lbs. It claims to be the only child restraint harness approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). At a weight of 1 pound and fitting in a 6 inch bag, it is easier than carrying a car seat on and off a plane. It claims to be made of the same strength webbing as your own seatbelt on the plane. The webbing is manufactured by AmSafe Aviation who is the main manufacturer of aviation seatbelts.
I am really sold on the idea of this product and will be ordering one as soon as I am done blogging about it. I am so excited about this product. This is way easier than carrying on a car seat and based on what Cares claims and having the FAA approval, it appears to be safe. Check it out yourself and make your own determination on its safety. Make sure you research it and feel comfortable with your decision.

We have just added our Free Baby Stuff link to our website. Take a look around. You will see that major companies provide free samples and coupons to new and expecting parents.
When I first got pregnant a few years ago, I heard from some other moms that you can get free stuff from a number of companies. I thought that the free baby stuff would be a small sample or a coupon for a dollar or two. I was pleasantly surprised when I signed up for a few items here and there and I received diaper bags full of samples, information and coupons. Take a look at Nestle Baby. Nestle Baby sends you a diaper bag full of great baby samples. I really loved and actually used the diaper bag I received from Nestle Baby.
When I signed up for the Similac samples, they too sent me a diaper bag full of samples, coupons and information. Similac also continued to send me coupons after the initial package and they were of significant value (or at least they were when I signed up).
When I signed up for Huggies and Pampers I received samples of the newborn diapers along with coupons. I still receive coupons to this day for wipes and diapers. I also received a free dvd for potty training from Huggies.
There are a lot of coupons and free samples of baby available for those who sign up. Every company is fighting for your business and hoping that you love their product. If you figure how many diapers and wipes that you go through, no wonder Huggies and Pampers is willing to give you free samples to try their product out.
Even if you plan on breastfeeding, there will probably be a time you need formula. The formula companies know this and they send you a generous container of their formula to try out. Then they following it up with generous coupons. I did in fact breastfeed my daughter till she was 14 months old, but I still used formula on occassion and I also used formula once I totally stopped breastfeeding. I really liked the Similac ready to use formula. It was just way more convenient. I remember receiving coupons from Similac for buy a case of formula get one free. Wow, that was a good coupon and I received more than one!
You really just have to sign up everywhere. Try the products out. Get the coupons. Read the ingredients (especially these days) and make sure you are happy with what the company puts in the product.
Get the free magazines because the advice in them is sometimes pretty useful. Moreover, it is nice to read articles that affirm that you are not alone in the world when you have a question or issue pertaining to baby. It is nice to know others are experiencing the same things.
There are a lot of deals to be had. So take a look before you start buying baby stuff. It is possible to get just about everything at a sale price or a free sample to try out first.
Happy Baby Shopping!
Welcome to our Baby Blog. We chose the website name expecting mom because we want to talk about everything baby right from the get go. We want to talk about everything baby right from the time that you found out that you were expecting a bundle of joy to every step of the way through your little one's life.
I started this blog because I remember being pregnant and asking other moms their advice about things that came to mind. I felt like, for the most part, that most moms seemed to forget the little things. They could not quite recall if they had a certain experience or what they did in a certain situation. So here we are. We will talk about everything baby. I am going to talk about things I wish that I had known right from the moment I was pregnant.
We are going to talk about everything baby! Like my experience with Safety 1st products and their customer service. Why I love Evenflo's Customer Service. Why Mattell rocks! Where I think the best place is to get clothes. What type of sleepers I thought were the best and the sleepers I truly hated. We will talk about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, sleeping (or should I say not sleeping), and what you really, really need to buy for baby. Or should I say what you do not need to buy when getting ready for baby! Where to get some great free stuff! And much, much, much more!
So sit back and enjoy. Please participate because your knowledge and experiences as a parent are like gold to others. Your comment could save another parent from pulling their hair out!
