Summer Fun Contest: Win a FREE iPhone 4 or an iPod Touch!

Its getting pretty hot outside and as August approaches, its probably only going to get hotter. Don't get me wrong. I love the summer. I love being outside playing with my boys. But the end of July means that summer is quickly coming to an end. Soon the boys will be back at school and sometimes the heat really gets me down because it's TOO hot to play outside with the kids. Not to mention its time to start getting organized and begin the lovely task of "Back to School" shopping

So to cheer me up a bit and to help out with your organizational needs, we at Little Stinker have decided to hold a most awesome contest. Here's how it goes.

Contest Entries:1.) Place an order for your bottle of Little Stinker Baby Butt Spray in the next four weeks and you will be entered in a chance to win either an iPod touch or an Apple Gift certificate of equal value (in case you've had your eye on that new iPhone 4 . . . I know I have . . .). Easy right? But it gets better.

2.) You will get an entry for every bottle you order- not per transaction. 10 bottles = 10 entries. But wait. There's more!

3.) Followers of the blog get an extra entry into the contest. But wait. There's still more! :D

4.) Blog posts, tweets, facebook status updates that help promote the contest to your friends will get you another bonus entry. . . in fact, we'll even give you a bonus entry for each! Just post a comment here with links to show what you did. That gives you a chance of being entered at least 5 times for one bottle of Baby Butt Spray.

Ok. You can stop waiting now. Go! Buy! Share! Have fun!

The Details:
Purchase of the Little Stinker Baby Butt spray qualifies you as a contest entrant. All other entries are additional entries. Contest entries will be accepted from today, July 26th until midnight MST August 23rd. The prize is your choice of a new iPod Touch or an Apple gift certificate of equal value that can be used for an Apple product-- but I highly recommend an iPhone if you don't go for the iPod. It's like my second brain! Each entry will be assigned a number and winners will be chosen by the Random.org number generator. Winners will be announced August 24th here on the blog.

*Update 8-6-10* With the release of our latest product--Little Stinker Natural Nursing Balm--on August 6th, purchases of the Nursing Balm will also count toward a contest entry. So, yippee! More chances to win! :D

Designer Diapers

Check out these designer diapers from Pampers.

Kind of makes me want to let the kiddo run around with just his diaper on, what do you think?

Love this comment on Facebook from a friend that makes darling cloth diapers:

Coverplay

I met Amy Feldman and Allison Costa at the big kids expo the ABC Kids Show last year. After seeing them on the Shark Tank, I felt like I was meeting celebrities.

But what struck me is how sweet and down to earth they are.

Starting a new business is a big scary step and it was refreshing to talk to two gals who had done it and were so supportive of Little Stinker™ and our dream.

Love hearing other success stories. Check out their video.

Contest: Share your potty training story

Adventures in parenting come with some embarrassing (and funny) moments. Wouldn't you agree?

For the past few months I have been potty training my 2 1/2 year old boy. It's been a pretty positive experience, working for stinkers and earning prizes. But no one told me that potty training while pregnant might just set of a series of gag reflexes I didn't know I had. Not to mention that I have now been peed and pooped on by my toddler.

The Little Stinker family thought it would be fun to reward the funniest potty training story with a gift certificate for $10 to Target. (That way mom can go buy something fun for herself ;)

Submit your story in the comments section and we'll pick a winner on July 26.

Baby Tracker

I found this cool baby tracker on the Mommies Gotta Have It blog and found out I'm due the day after my online friend. Small world, huh?

Anyway, I thought I'd share this tool with you from BabyStrology.com they have some other fun tools on there.

Not that you all really care what my fetus looks like, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I'm proud. What can I say?

More 4th of July Activities

Had to share these cute FREE Printables from the Hostest Blog (super cute blog!)

4th of July

What family traditions do you share on the Fourth of July?

I'll be heading to Park City to watch rugby with my hubby. We'll probably BBQ, too.

I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for fun activities to do with my 2 year old. These firework pens from FAMILY FUN (dot) com are fun and pretty easy to assemble.

Instructions

1. For each, cut the wired star garland into nine pieces, each 6 to 8 inches long.

2. Trim the tinsel stars from the last inch of each piece. Line up the trimmed ends on the sticky side of a 1-1/2-inch length of duct tape. Leave 1/2 inch of tape free on each side, as shown.

3. Wrap the tape around the top of a pen. Slide small jingle bells onto the ends of the garland lengths, bending the tips around the bell loops to secure them. Splay the garland to resemble exploding fireworks.
