Mom 4 Life Giveaway

Written by Susan

Christmas Giveaway 2007

Our first contest in our Christmas Giveaway 2007 features a wonderful mom-owned store that shares our goal of promoting moms and bringing moms the best mom-invented and mom-made products.

Heather started her online store Mom 4 Life in 2003 to fulfill her dream of “staying at home with her son Hunter, while also helping the family financially”. Guided by her passion for motherhood, Heather set out to offer moms unique and useful products that had been created by other work-at-home moms.

Mom 4 Life’s extensive product line is comprised entirely of the handiwork of moms. As you browse the site, I hope you will take time to read their stories featured with their products and know that your purchase helps these mothers achieve their dreams as well.

Heather - “Mom 4 Life” Founder

Avi-U Bags by BabyKaedMom 4 Life carries a huge assortment of products for Babies, Kids, Moms and Dads. They also offer Toys and products for Around the Home and for when you and the kids are Out and About.

One of the fantastic mom-created products that caught our attention is the Avi-U Bags by BabyKaed. These luxurious diaper bags are the ultimate in style and function.

They are made of a beautiful faux suede and accented with contrast cross stitching and funky antiqued brass hardware.

And you’ll love the accessories — Changing mat, zippered pouch, drawstring bag for messy days, pacifier purse, cell phone pocket, Baby Kaed wipes case and a handy clip for your keys or pacifier purse.

Mom 4 Life is generously offering one lucky winner her own Avi-U Bag by BabyKaed or a gift certificate for the retail value of $116.

If you want to win the diaper bag or the gift certificate, all the instructions are included in the Christmas Giveaway 2007 post (including the code to put our Christmas Giveaway button on your site.)

But here is a quick run through:

  • Leave a comment on this post to be entered.
  • Post a link to this contest (it is always nice to let your readers have a chance to win too!) and/or link and post a button to our Christmas Giveaway post. (If you post the button and link to the Christmas Giveaway, you are qualified to enter in all the upcoming Christmas Giveaway contests. And we have many more contests to come!) Non-bloggers are welcome too - we understand you can’t link - but feel free to pass the word on to your friends.

(This giveaway is open to US and Canadian shipping addresses.)

Good luck! And we will see you tomorrow for our next Christmas Giveaway contest.
