MamaNYC Presents…

Bellies To Babies: Maternity & Baby Giveaway Hop

Sign up’s are. . . OPEN!*

Sign ups are now OPEN for the Bellies To Babies – Maternity & Baby Giveaway Hop baby shower event, which will run from January 5-15, 2013. MamaNYC is expecting her second child with a due date of January 26th and wants to celebrate the upcoming birth of her little girl with readers … and what better way to do so than a giveaway hop event with all of her blogger friends! It will be an event to remember as we party with prizes geared around maternity and baby as an "online baby shower" in January 2013!

Bellies To Babies will be an extension of MamaNYC’s maternity and baby gift guide with the same name, which launched in September 2012 and will likely run well into 2014. The gift guide features top product picks from maternity, newborn, and babies first 12-15 months. In an effort to incorporate a wide variety of pregnancy and baby top product pick ideas, I thought it would be a great idea to create this event and run it in conjunction with the Bellies To Babies Gift Guide!

NOTICE!

RE: Grand Prize Sponsorship

In order to guarantee a very successful and tremendous event for all participants, I will be working diligently to secure sponsorship for this event. Since there are endless possibilities and options available, I will contact participants once a sponsor is secured so that we can discuss any grand prize offers or Rafflecopter entry options that may become available in the following weeks. I will also post sponsor information and details on THIS page once I have more information to give new sign ups as well. Stay tuned!
