That's right — it's yet another chance! Jolly Mom is giving away a $100 gift card to Borders to two lucky winners!

Borders is really trying to get the word out about the new & expanded toys section! To enter, visit your local Borders store and tell what new offering in the toy section caught your eye and why it would be a good choice for kids today.

What really blew me away about the Toys and Games Section was how HUGE it is. I thought it would be a small area with a few toys--kind of with a boutique type feel. Not all. The Toys and Games Section in my Borders is huge and includes products from leading brands such as Melissa & Doug, Creativity for Kids, LEGO Systems, Inc, Playmobil, Scientific Explorer™, Chicco, Battat, Blue Orange Games, ALEX and many others. I can't tell you how much I loved seeing all of these awesome brands all together under one roof. It is amazing! All of the toys are handpicked for their educational benefits for ages 0 to 12 while still being FUN for babies and kids. LOVE that!

Go Graham Go! is giving away an Evenflo Triumph Advance™ LX Convertible Car Seat!

This car seat is an affordable and federally tested option for a convertible car seat. It has a lot of nice features like an Infinite Slide adjustable harness and removable, patterned seat covers.

My favorite feature, though, has to be that the rear-facing weight limit is 35 pounds. It is so important to keep your kids rear facing as long as possible! This means until a child outgrows the rear-facing limits of the particular seat by either height or weight. Having a seat go up to 35 pounds means that you should get at least a couple years of rear-facing use out of this, unless you have a chunky monkey like I do!

A few links on the superior safety of extended rear facing:

• Car-Safety.org
• In memory of Kyle David Miller
• Stay Rear Facing from CP Safety
• AAP's Child Safety Guide

And a video to demonstrate the physical impact of forward-facing vs. rear-facing:



All right, so enter, win, and keep your baby safe!

Go Graham Go! is giving away a Hello Hanna Get-Set Placemat Set to three lucky winners!

Are these cute or what?!

Hello Hanna has 3 different get-set place mats to choose from that are sure to suit your child's tastes. What is so great and different about these you ask? Well, they are actually like having your very own story and activity book on a place mat. We were sent the Hello Jungle place mat set that features 4 different designs: monkey, hippo, panda, and an elephant. There are two of each mat in the set as well as enough stickers to go with each mat. Kids can pop up the character and dress them, create different faces, add accessories and play to their hearts content! There are even spaces for their utensils, plate, and cup. The back of each place mat also has a special place to write whatever is on your heart and fill in your name, your best friend, your favorite food and more. They are generously sized so you don't need to worry about messes either.
