I need this purse organizer SOOOOO badly!

I can NEVER (EVER, EVER) find my keys the first (or second or third....) time I reach into my purse to grab them. This organizer from Sweetbriar Studio sounds like exactly what I need to keep everything in its place inside that giant center pocket of my jumbo purse. There is currently a giveaway on Mommy Works Blog. Check it out and try to win one!

The Ultimate Blog Party!!!

It's time for the 2009 Ultimate Blog Party hosted by the fun ladies at 5 Minutes for Mom! I'm trying to find my way through all of the many fun things that are going on as part of the Ultimate Blog Party. It started a couple of days ago and runs through the end of the day on March 27. Baby Dipper is listed as #23 in the list of businesses and blogs offering prizes.

Well, I'll publish this for now, but I'll need to come back to add my list of things I'd like to win. There are so many great things!!!

Test Results Are In: Baby Dipper is free of lead and free of phthalates!

Yes, I just got the test results back and found out that the Baby Dipper bowl and spoon are both free of lead and free of phthalates! This good news means that we are in compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which has been such a bear to small businesses, Baby Dipper included. Please pass the word along to your friends and family when you get a chance. Thanks in advance!

Britax Sale at Amazon

Yep, you read it right: Britax car seats are on sale right now on Amazon.com through February 15. And up to 20% off!!! Click here to link directly to the sale. Of the 10 car seats we own, 4 of them are Britax and we love them. Oh, and they all came from Amazon during previous sales. :)

And the winner is.......

Stacy! She wins the Baby Dipper bowl and spoon set I gave away as part of the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival. Stacy commented, "Love the non-slip base" at 2:54 p.m. on January 26. I have emailed her to let her know she won. My daughters, Cora and Greta, helped me with the drawing. I printed out all 95 entries, cut them apart, and put them in a plastic tub. Cora mixed them up (over and over and over and over again!) and then Greta selected the winner. Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway!

Baby Dipper Bowl Giveaway!

OK, it's time for a giveaway of a Baby Dipper bowl and spoon set! This bowl is patent-pending, so it is indeed a unique bowl. It definitely solved the problem I was having with chasing the bowl around the table and the food around the bowl while trying to feed a baby.

And, I'll be participating in my first carnival through the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. Check it out for TONS of other giveaways!

So, first, check out the Baby Dipper web site and post here what your favorite feature of the Baby Dipper bowl is. That's your required first entry. Once that is done, subsequent entries can be had if you post here again after you:

* Tweet about this giveaway and link back to it on Twitter
* Blog about this giveaway and link back to Baby Dipper and this giveaway
* Email 5 friends about this & copy me: info{at}babydipper{dot}com

AND, I've seen this done elsewhere and thought it was a great idea:

* Purchase a Baby Dipper bowl and spoon set on Amazon.com [or two, and get free shipping!] and send me a copy of your receipt (info{at}babydipper{dot}com). This will get you FIVE bonus entries!!!!! You will get to post 5 more times for that! :)

Thanks for helping me get the word out! I do very much appreciate it! It will be fun to watch this giveaway in progress.

Entries for this giveaway will be accepted until midnight CST, Saturday, January 31. The drawing will be held and the winner will be posted and notified on Sunday, February 1. Please be sure to leave your contact information somehow in your post! Please note that this contest is for U.S. residents only.
