Outstanding Performace? By Cool Baby Kid? Aww Shucks…
I’m flattered to be nominated for Outstanding Performance in the Dottie Awards, feeling humble in light of such a notable and prestigious presence of other outstanding blogs like Ohana Mama. No campaigning …I’m just letting the chips fall where they may. If I win, fantastic. If not, no big deal.
Or not!!! I love to win, and need your help. I’ve been there for you with fantastic giveaways. I created a whole new blog just to answer my loyal readers’ questions on Ask Baby Kid. At 5:30 a.m. before work I’ve faithfully put up posts in the morning not wanting to disappoint the most awesome subscribers and followers in the world. All I ask in return is a teeny weeny second to head over to Mom Dot to vote for Cool Baby Kid for Outstanding Performance. I want to make it very, very easy for you:
- Go to MomDot by clicking here.
- Scroll down to the 5th category, “Outstanding Performance” and vote for Cool Baby Kid (Cissy). That’s me.
- Feel good about helping a friend in need, pat yourself on the back and eat something yummy to reward yourself.
Cool Giveaway: I’m digging into the CBK closet for a single purpose. I know some of my readers happen upon this site through contest links, so I am shamelessly bringing you here just to vote for me. Wicked? Maybe. But hopefully you’ll win a Super Baby Prize Pack which includes a pair of Not Sox by Baby Legs, “One Two” by my favorite book company, Begin Smart, and the Tummy Ticklers Dog by Baby Einstein. To enter, vote for Cool Baby Kid for Best Outstanding Performace and comment back here with how many votes I’ve received after your vote. And thank you in advance! You rock. Congratulations Beverly!
Fabulous Mom Blogs & A Swanky New Award
Why thank you darling… I’m taking a break from review blogging today to display a shiny new award Cool Baby received this week. Thanks to Life Starring Ellie & Eve, a new blog friend I was lucky enough to connect with recently, I’m feeling simply fabulous today. As with all blog awards, this one comes with a to do list which happens to be a list of five addictions. So here goes: blogging, running, thinking, reality television and Diet Pepsi. I can’t stop doing any of those which is why I consider each an addiction. And the other “Your Blog is Fabulous!” stipulation? Give to five other fabulous blogs. Of course, if you really love another blog you should also give them Blog Popz which will enter you to win grand prizes like a $250.oo Kids Coats gift certificate and nearly $150.00 in Zutano baby clothes! I’m going to break the rules just a bit and give to the four fabulous blogs who helped me launched Popz and run the Blog Popz Candy Stores: The Not-So-Blog, Ohana Mama, Suzy Q Homemaker and From Dates to Diapers. CBK readers…what do you think makes a blog fabulous?
Cool Tip: Giving awards is a great way to network with fellow bloggers and get to know new ones. And if you’re not a blogger, it’s fun to check out the rewarded blogs for great new ideas and contests!
Baby Kid Blogs In the News!
Happy Thanksgiving! Cool Baby Kid is thankful for a teriffic news story this week on the launch. On Tuesday, WNEP 16, a local TV station, ran a story about the Baby Kid Blogs. In a parenting segment by Mindi Ramsey, all three were highlighted. It was mentioned that Cool Baby Kid, the original site, helps moms find the coolest products and resources for their kids. Specifically, the post for Bella Tunno bibs, were shown in addition to Karate Kate Graphics’ customized holiday stamps. They discussed Smart Baby Kid, one of the new blogs, and how the reviews there focus on educational products and resources. I was thrilled that the reporter also pointed out another of the new blogs, Ask Baby Kid, and that it is a resource not just for parent tips but for those who are getting into blogging too. Thanks WNEP for a great story and validating the leverage mom bloggers are gaining in the online world. And welcome NEPA readers…thanks for stopping by.
Cool Tip: If you’re new to the sites, be sure to subscribe either by RSS or email and become a follower to get the latest updates on great tips, picks and giveaways!
