A new bra with potential!

I just found this giveaway on Blogger Mommies and have high hopes for the Coobie Bra. As Anna described in her review, I, too, hate shopping for bras. I'm not even much of a clothing shopper, but bras are the worst. The most frustrating part is that my breasts have not gone "back down" all the way since having kids and I'm not sure if they ever will. I now have a relatively small chest measurement, but a large cup size. Sounds great, right? Uh, no. I wish I could go back to my old size, but it seems that I'm stuck with what I have now, so have to find bras that help as much as possible. I think if I don't win the giveaway here, I just might have to purchase one of these Coobie Bras to try out. Thanks to Coobies for offering 6 bras as giveaways on Blogger Mommies!

Buy Mom Made!

Baby Dipper is now part of the Buy Mom Made movement that is a new Mom-preneur alliance between Laurie of Tip Junkie, Quinn of Created by Mom, and Amy of Mom Made That. As Laurie says on her blog post about Buy Mom Made, "this is the perfect example of 3 direct competitors (as we each have Mom-preneur listings) uniting together for a greater purpose – to promote mom shops." What a fabulous idea! So, post, tweet, and otherwise pass along the word about Buy Mom Made this season. You can very easily register as a Mom-preneur or a Shopper and get busy with your holiday shopping and supporting mom-preneurs.

Article on Mom Technology

Thanks to Laura Heuer of Mom Technology for featuring my co-winner in the HP Dara Torres Moms for Simplicity contest Kim Friedman a couple of weeks ago and also for featuring me on August 6. Laura's blog is all about how moms use technology to simplify our lives, so the HP contest was a perfect fit for her blog. Our third co-winner, Stacey Fulk, has now been safely deployed to Afghanistan, though we did enjoy her company on our trip to Rome to see Dara Torres swim. In the photo above, Kim is next to Dara, Stacey is in the foreground, and I am on the right. For more about our trip to Rome, check out the Moms for Simplicity web site that has been updated to include some of the videos we three moms made in Rome. Hans and I had a fabulous time despite the heat and humidity. We do live in Alabama, so we were somewhat accustomed to it, though we are not usually on foot sightseeing all day in the Alabama heat. Here is a picture of Hans and me in front of St. Peter's Basilica. Many thanks to Hewlett Packard for sponsoring the Moms for Simplicity contest!

Featured in The Huntsville Times!

Today there is an article in The Huntsville Times, the local paper here in Huntsville, Alabama, about my being one of the three winners of the HP Dara Torres Moms for Simplicity essay contest! I'm happy to be able to share my experience with the fabulous Moms for Simplicity program. My husband and I now have our passports ready to go and a travel book about Rome on order! Now to make the arrangements for child care and pack our bags in our spare time. :)
