Around the Blogosphere – Week 100

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

• There is a new weight-loss challenge over at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans called “Shrink for Good”! All the information is here.

  It runs for 6 weeks and the best part about it is that for every pound that we lose, we donate the equal amount to a food bank! It’s in conjunction with Weight Watchers’ Lose for Good campaign, though you don’t have to be a member of Weight Watchers to join in the challenge. It’s a win-win for everyone!!!

CONTESTS & SWEEPSTAKES

• To celebrate the new Thermos Foogo Phases product launch, Thermos has partnered with the “MOTHERHOOD” movie and is announcing the “Phases of MOTHERHOOD” contest, where one lucky mom can win an all-expense paid luxury getaway to New York City for the premiere of the new Uma Thurman movie “MOTHERHOOD” and $1,000 spending cash for a red carpet makeover.

  The winner and one guest will have the ultimate Hollywood experience from walking the red carpet, rubbing shoulders with movie stars Uma Thurman and Minnie Driver to attending the premiere’s after-party.

  To enter “The Phases of MOTHERHOOD” contest, moms should visit the Thermos Facebook (www.Facebook.com/ThermosFoogo) or Twitter accounts (@ThermosBrand) to share their thoughts on the phases of motherhood – the good, the bad and the ugly.
