From inherited traits like big brown eyes or a not-so-well-endowed figure to those quirks and pet peeves that rubbed off on us over time, for better or worse we’ve all got a little bit of our mothers in us.
For this Mother’s Day Blog Blast, we want to hear what your mother handed down to you. Did you get her eyes or her smile? Are you both terrified of spiders? Has she passed along heirloom jewelry or antique furniture to you? Tell us what parts of your mother are now a part of you too.
We’re honored to have JOHNSON’S® Brand as our Mother’s Day Blog Blast sponsor again this year. Their second annual Celebrity Hand Me Down charity auction runs from 7 pm PT on Thursday May 7 through 7 pm PT on Thursday May 14, featuring items donated by celebrity moms Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba. All proceeds will benefit the new global JOHNSON’S® NO MORE TEARS® Clean Water initiative via their well-known charitable giving site, Baby Cause.
Here’s how to participate:
Write a post on your blog about what your mother handed down to you. Post anytime this weekend - Friday, May 8 through Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10. Please include links to:
1) http://www.ebay.com/celebritymoms
2) http://blog.parentbloggers.com
Make sure to send your blog post link to parentbloggers@gmail.com and we’ll round them up on our blog - so give your post a creative title!
What can you win?
We’ve got two $250 VISA gift cards to award at random. Also, we’ll be giving a JOHNSON’S® product package filled with goodies for moms to each of the first 15 bloggers to send us a link to their post.
NO PRE-SCHEDULED POSTS. You’ve got to publish your post, copy and paste your permalink, and email it to us - anytime after 12:01 ET on Friday, May 8. Placement in the first fifteen bloggers will be based on the order in which we receive your emails, not the date/time stamp on your posts.
