I win & a giveaway: Smart Mom Teething Bling $20 at Natural Parents Network {2.3, US/Can}

There's a fabulous giveaway right now over at Natural Parents Network for a Smart Mom Teething Bling pendant necklace, courtesy of Stacy's Posh Baby Boutique.

The contest ends tomorrow, February 3 at 11:59 p.m. PST, so enter now!

You get to choose your own color and pattern of donut-shaped pendant.

While I'm on the subject, I had the opportunity to win a Smart Mom Teething Bling camo necklace last year from Shairbearg's Blog, now The Knit Wit By Shair, so I'll do a little review here!

Teething Bling by Smart Mom Jewelry is the original teething jewelry. I think it would also function wonderfully as a nursing necklace, to distract the twiddlers in your life!

The pendant is made of food-grade silicone (BPA- & phthalate-free) that's safe for babies to gum (though not bite through), and it's even dishwasher-safe! The pendant is strung on a black cord with a breakaway clasp. It hangs low so your baby can grasp it!

Giveaway: Playful Parenting (Book or CD) $19 at Natural Parents Network {1.29; US/Can}

Playful ParentingDr. Larry Cohen is offering readers at Natural Parents Network a giveaway of a copy of the #1 parenting book Playful Parenting!

Play is the way children communicate, and it's the way we as parents can meet them where they are — to work through strong emotions, explore vulnerabilities safely, and ease tough transitions and behavioral issues.

NPN's reviewer for the book, Dionna of Code Name: Mama, had this to say:
"Playful Parenting is my personal favorite parenting book. Dr. Cohen focuses on establishing trusting connections between parents and children, rethinking the way we discipline, and empowering and believing in our children. But even better than the lessons in a positive parenting philosophy, he offers concrete examples of how to implement play in your everyday parenting. Dr. Cohen explains why and how parents playing with children can not only promote closeness and confidence, but it can ease discipline challenges and sibling rivalry."

When I read it, I was very impressed with Playful Parenting and its message of respecting children by getting down on the floor to play. Check out, for example, "Follow a child's lead in play" and "Rainy-day movement ideas for toddlers." I know you'll enjoy entering for a copy of the paperback book or the audio book on CD!

So head on over by this Saturday, January 29 to enter to win your own copy of Playful Parenting, valued at $19. Contest is open to U.S. and Canada.
