Around The Blogosphere – Week 104

Welcome to our weekly roundup here at “5 Minutes Around the Blogosphere”.

As you know, you can come back all week and add a post or giveaway to our Mister Linky. Be sure to check back often, as new links will be added daily. You don’t want to miss out on something fun.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Get a coupon for YoCrunch! This new promotion is designed to help parents transition their young ones from a Halloween candy coma to health conscious kids with yogurt.

  For up to two weeks following Halloween, you can send any candy wrappers which their kids have earned trick or treating (limit one submission per household), and in turn be rewarded with a YoCrunch product coupon.

  To participate, consumers can send candy wrappers to the following address:
  Shaina Zalma | YoCrunch | 9507 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 300 | Beverly Hills, CA 90210

• World Habitat Day is Monday, October 5th. This is a day to stand up and let it be known that affordable, adequate housing should be a priority everywhere—in our communities, in our towns, in our country, in our world. For more information go here.

CONTESTS & SWEEPSTAKES
