And other new posts include information about the “A Mother’s Promise” Facebook community, a heads-up on the top baby names of 2008, the latest offer (3000 free text messages!) from kajeet – the cell phone provider for kids, a post about getting back to ‘normal’ after the holidays, and how your blooper photo could end up on a Hallmark card.

There are more fun giveaways coming next week too, so stay tuned (and subscribed)…  

This week’s Contest Round-Up is up over at the other site as well. And don’t forget to check the Contests page during the week – there are some pretty awesome giveaways happening around the blogosphere so you don’t want to miss out on your chance to enter any of them!

Some interesting posts I read this week on other sites include:

• Check out Bloggers Give, a new way for bloggers who hold giveaways or review products to help others.
• Check out the new Green Baby Bargains site! Every Monday – Friday, they feature one “green”, eco-friendly baby bargain, and shoppers can scoop it up until it’s gone, and then do it all over again the next day.
• If you post on WordPress, check out the new Tweetbacks plug-in described over on ProBlogger!
• Blogging Tips had a great post on how to track your content (and see where else it may end up) by using Google Alerts. They also posted part one of How to blog on a (very) small budget.
• Detector Pro is offering a free copy of the e-book, 1000 Adobe Photoshop Tips and Tricks. And they posted about which picture format (JPG, PNG or GIF) you should use for the best picture quality upload on your blog.
• I had to laugh at this post over at Blonde Mom Blog about the sign that appeared on her daughter’s door…

We’ll be gone all weekend, visiting friends for their one-year-old’s birthday party. And dealing with a lot of new snow.  Hope you all have a great weekend!
