Last week, Pamela, a mom-entrepreneur who owns a great store called Happy Panda, asked if she could throw us a “Cyber Baby Shower” to allow stores a chance to get their products reviewed on our site. (For those of you who may not know, Susan and I are both expecting baby girls in the beginning of October.)
Since 5 Minutes for Mom is all about getting Mom-Owned stores recognized – and helping you Moms find fantastic, unique products and places to shop – we agreed. Plus – a cyber shower! – how sweet is that! We are honored and grateful to be “showered!”
And as work at home moms who rarely get out of our houses lately and who spend most of our time with our cyber-friends, we are excited to celebrate our babies with you in this oh-so-bloggy way! You really mean so much to us and we just wish we could all be in a room together, feasting on appetizers and treats, visiting up a storm.
Here is how it will work:
- You can submit your products for review, as well as any prizes you wish to donate as “Door Prizes” at the shower. (Bloggers are welcome to submit gifts and prizes if you want the link and traffic too. We are here to promote all of you!) Please contact Pamela for more information and instructions for mailing by visiting her post and/or emailing [email protected].
- On October 1st, we will have the big event. (If, however, we are both in the hospital delivering our babies, I suppose we might have to postpone it a bit. But since we are due October 9th and 13th, we are hoping that we will still be available!) Head on over here to 5 Minutes for Mom, October 1st, to join in the fun, see the gifts and enter to win the prizes. We will be honored to have you attend our Baby Shower!
Please Note: Contact Pamela for more information. She is a wonderful shower host and will send you all the details about how to participate.
Thanks so much Pamela – I think this is going to be a ton of fun for everyone. And our babies thank you in advance too. 🙂

What a neat idea! Any excuse is great to party – but babies are the best ones! I will be back!
Amy says
This is a great idea! I will try to be there to help you celebrate. 🙂
Carroll Griggs says

Rebecca Furlong says
You are blessed…

You two, I wish you both the best on your deliveries!

Congratulations! I just had my first baby in June and he is truly a blessing. My hubbie and I never knew that we could feel so much love!
kariandkijsa says
Congratulations! Love the idea of a cybershower!
Angela says
Congratulations! Little girls are such “angels”…I hope both delivery’s go well!
kailani says
I’ll be there!
Lani says
How fun! Gosh, I can’t believe you girls are getting so close!!! It’s gone by so fast. 🙂 Of course, I bet it hasn’t been quite that fast for the two of you.
Karla Meachem says
Woooohooo! A cyber baby shower!
What a FANTASTIC idea! 🙂
I am off to get more information!
I am so there!!! lol
Who can resist a baby shower? Not me!
Darlene says
When I saw your due dates I had to stop and post.
My twin girls had their boys four days apart,
October 14 and 18. The boys even weighed the same. As a BTW, did you have your own language when you first started talking? My neighbors stopped letting their little ones play with my twins because they were learning the “twin” language instead of English. I still LOL over that
jen says
wow!!!!!!!!!!! it just occured to me you both havent got long to go
how exciting
Stephanie says
Thanks for the invitation. Consider this my official R.S.V.P. 🙂
Heather says
Wow. This is a great idea. However–you two be careful not to wear yourself out with all the reviews. Those babies are more important than anything on this site.
On the other hand–I am thrilled to finally be able to gift you guys with something–you two are great.
brandy w says

Adventures In Babywearing says
This is SO exciting!! I know there must be something I could do to participate! And I still can’t believe you will have your babies so close! October babies are the best! Gray turns two on Oct 7!!

Sorry I’m not excepting my boys are looking forward leaving home and I’m adjusting to empty nesting.
But I’ll pass the word about.
Summer says
This is an awesome idea! I’m so excited!
Jennifer, Snapshot says
Cool idea! My kids were both born right at 38 weeks (which is good–full term and I didn’t have to wait), but most people are waiting and waiting it seems!
Natalija says
Ooh, that’s really great. I am also expecting soon, but baby showers are not a tradition in our country =(. But I do remember some wonderful ones with my firstborn when we lived in the USA =).
Irreverent, Barefoot Ragamuffins says
How neat! I am so jealous. We just welcomed our 6th little one and I’ve never had a shower.
I am going to be sure to check back.
