5 Minutes Around the BlogosphereWelcome 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

  • Baby Tea Leaves is throwing a virtual baby shower for families who have babies in the NICU. A shower will be thrown at six hospitals for mommies who didn’t get one, due to the scary early arrival of their little ones. Hundreds of families are in need and we can help! Readers can donate everything from toiletries to preemie outfits and hats. For more information please see the full details here.
  • Cascia from Healthy Moms needs your prayers and support. Go here and find out how you can help.

CONTESTS & SWEEPSTAKES

  • Kaboodle.com has partnered with Old Navy to give away a $1,000 gift card! Six additional weekly winners will receive $100 gift cards. To enter Kaboodle’s How I’d Wear It Contest, create a styleboard (a super-fun online collage) to showcase how you would wear the Old Navy Item of the Week! Deadline to enter is Tuesday, October 20th.
  • Is your kid the cutest kid in the world? Prove it by entering iVillage’s Cutest Kid’s Costume Contest on Facebook. The submission period starts now and goes through November 8, 2009. Facebook users will be able to vote for their favorite photo using Facebook’s “Like” function beginning November 9-15, 2009. To enter, simply become a fan of the official iVillage Facebook Page. Then click on the contest tab and upload a photo of your child in their best Halloween costume.

    On or about November 18, 2009, a panel of qualified judges will review the six entrants with the highest number of “Like” votes received during the Voting Period and select a Grand Prize winner and two runner up winners based on the following judging criteria: Originality (50%) and Creativity (50%).

    I think it would be really cool if the giveaways that you listed up on the very top were valued at $100 or over. 🙂 The ones you guys put up manually, not on the linky.
