Yoplait Kids Blog Blast This Weekend: What Moms Can’t Live Without

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Parenting is a tough gig, no doubt about it. But think about all of those modern conveniences we enjoy that weren’t so common when we were kids - microwaves, disposable diapers, and drive-through coffee shops, just to name a few.

Tell us what you rely on to get you through each day of motherhood. Which ones could you give up? Which ones couldn’t you live without?

This week, we’re collaborating with Yoplait Kids, makers of that delicious kids’ yogurt that we and our kids can’t live without. These self-serve cups of yumminess include Omega-3 DHA (a nutrient important for healthy brain growth), calcium, and Vitamins A and D. Plus, Yoplait Kids has 25% less sugar than the average leading kids’ yogurt. (Check out what our bloggers thought of Yoplait Kids Yogurt!)

Download and print your own $1.50 off coupon from Yoplait Kids and give it a try!*

Here’s how to participate:

Write a post on your blog telling us about what modern conveniences you can’t live without. Post anytime this weekend - Today, September 19 to Sunday, September 21 and include links to http://yoplait.com/products_yoplaitkids.aspx and http://blog.parentbloggers.com.

Make sure to send your blog post link to parentbloggers@gmail.com and we’ll round them up right here - so give your post a creative title!

What can you win?

A $200 VISA gift card - gas and groceries! Plus, a Yoplait Kids prize pack - a Yoplait Kids cooler and a My First Brain Quest game.

Special bonus: The first 20 bloggers to send in their post links will receive a coupon for a FREE six pack of Yoplait Kids yogurt!**

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

If you’re attending the BlogHer Conference this weekend, we’ve got an extra special incentive for you to track us down (believe me, it won’t be hard to find us thanks to Kristen’s ever growing belly and Julie’s cute son Oliver slung over her shoulder), other than learning more about the fantastic bloggers of our network and how we can work with your business to reach them.

We’re offering up FIVE super fantastic organic Parent Bloggers Network tote bags chock full of some awesome prizes.

All you have to do is find us at some point between Thursday, July 17 and Sunday, July 20 at the BlogHer Conference and hand us your business card. Or if you’re super swanky, your swag. In exchange, we’ll enter you to win one of five hand-embroidered tote bags (courtesy of Fadiddle) with these prizes (HOLY COW!):

- Felicia Sullivan’s The Sky Isn’t Visible From Here - a strikingly touching and moving memoir that every parent should read.

- That Baby DVD & CD - A fantastic combo unlike any you’ve ever seen or heard, featuring kid-friendly acoustic covers of songs and colorful visuals of kids at play, nature, animation, and puppets.

- Johnson’s - An assortment of baby products and adult products from the original baby brand moms know and love.

- Brainiversity - A new brain training game from Brighter Minds Media and Red Sprite Studios designed to stimulate your brain with 16 different activities covering Language, Memory, Math and Analysis.

All prizes to be awarded at random (via Random.org, what else?) and shipped after BlogHer.
