Giveaways and goodies for special moms like you!
Congratulations to
Key Lime Pie, winner of the Nerf Blaster! Her favorite Christmas gift was her "sweet, simple Raggedy Ann doll". What is
your favorite Christmas toy memory?
It was impossible to choose only one winner from among the entries in the Holiday Greeting Card Contest, so we chose three! The children will receive toys and books in time for the holidays. The winning families are
Chase, 10, and Skyler, 5, daughters of Silvia and Charles White;
Alicia, 6, and one-year-old twins Audrey and Evelyn, daughters of Brooke Caputo; and six-month-old
Reese Hazel Lores, daughter of Andrea Gershbein and Dave Lores. If by chance you are not in the holiday spirit yet, click through the gallery of
all the adorable entries. Who can resist smiling at all these angels? To add your photos to the series, simply add the tag

Congratulations to
kaseykahne71 for her "mom clique" response. Thanks to all of you for your very thoughful answers!
Did you find it easy to make friends with other moms after you had your baby? Or is there a mom clique you can't seem to break into?
If you've had success meeting other moms,
how did you do it? (And friendships -- especially new ones -- take nurturing: How did you find the energy to cultivate new relationships?)
More children’s books for one mom!
Congratulations to
beachmommyof4 - she won four tickets to see
Sesame Street Live at the Kravis Center. Thanks to all who participated. (And it looks like Elmo is still the heartthrob!)
Congratulations to
Glitterbelle for her answer to "kids clothes confidential." Thanks to all of you for your helpful responses!
Do you spend more on outfits for your little one than you do for yourself? Or are you the practical sort who relies strictly on hand me downs? Share your children’s
fashion philosophy – and any tips on where to get great outfits (bonus: at great prices)! We’ll give books and/or toys to one chatty mom!
Congratulations to
evansmommy and
simplymiss for their input into the biting issue!
Do you have a biter? Or has your child been bitten by another kid? How do you deal when your son comes home with bite marks? Or, perhaps worse, when your little angel sinks her fangs into a fellow tyke? If you’ve dealt with the biting issue – on either end – please
share your tactics! A couple of moms will receive children’s books for their kids, whether they’re chompers or chomp-ees (CharmPost does not discriminate)!
Congratulations,
cat4567,
mtgreen and
christophersmommie for their "first birthday" advice
Moms, how did you celebrate your child's first birthday? Did you begin any special traditions that day? Did you blow lots of money, host a small gathering, or let it quietly pass?
Share stories of the shindig with other moms, and please include cute things that happened on that day as well as any ideas – especially if they're money-saving -- to make the day special!
We'll pick a mom or two (or three) to receive children's books or toys for their kids!
Congratulations to
sbaydcc for her suggestion! She wins several children’s books picked out specifically for her child.
A mom needs advice: Her six-year-old daughter has started wetting the bed again. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any advice on how to handle it so the little girl doesn’t feel worse? Please help a mother out and post your suggestions on our
discussion forum.
Congratulations to
jennnolson for her tale of back-to-school woe. She wins the $50 Target gift card!
What did you forget - your kid’s belt? His lunch? Her paperwork? Were you (gasp) late because you miscalculated morning sluggishness? If you had it all together, please share your system on our
discussion forum!
Congratulations to
bgottlieb for her honest picture of her son's overwhelming first bus ride. She wins a $50 Target gift card. Honorable mentions go to
