Mothering Magazine Giveaway
As you may have heard, Bloggy Giveaway week is taking the blogosphere by storm. Peggy posted one of our giveaways earlier today, and I’ll tell you about our other giveaway in a second. But first, I’d like to tell you a little about our ultra cool sponsor.
Doudou bebe is an online boutique for babies and mamas. Their tag line, “Little luxuries for mama and baby” is dead on. They offer many cool items worth drooling over - even if you’re not the baby in this scenario. They have too many goodies to share in a single day, so all week we’ll be bringing you some nice ideas from this online shop.
We do have to start off with baby items - because I’m a sucker for baby gear. And I’m really a sucker for greener baby items.
Beau Dodo Gift Set: This super cute and soft blanket is perfect for babies because of it’s nice smooth satin edge. Every baby I’ve ever met likes to rub the edge of a nice blanket, it’s soothing. Well, my Cedar liked blanket tags too, but I digress. This blanket comes with a Girly or Boyo Cuddle - a toy designed for cuddling and chewing. They’re safe for baby too; Öko-Tex complaint and made of organic cotton and wool. In pink or blue. This set would make the perfect baby shower gift.

Moving up to the toddler years, Doudou bebe offers some great wooden toys (I love wooden toys - don’t you?). This little Fire Truck is really nice, made in Vermont and crafted from hardwood maple. So in other words, your little one can toss this truck around and it’ll stay solid. It’s also painted with all non-toxic paints and finishes. My favorite thing about this item is that you can get it in a 100% natural beeswax finish with laser-engraved details - the perfect natural color, and it looks great. Go see, you’ll love it. Your little girl or boy will really enjoy this truck.

Stay tuned, and tomorrow we’ll learn more about Doudou bebe and see some other nice items - we even have Mother’s Day gifts coming up.
The Mothering Magazine contest:
Michelle, an all around nice individual - Doudou bebe owner - mama - major breastfeeding advocate - extremely busy human somehow found enough time to offer to sponsor a cool contest here at Tree Hugging Family. Whew right?
Five lucky readers will win digital subscriptions to Mothering Magazine - which if you haven’t heard of, is the hip and informative bible of crunchy green mamas everywhere. I LOVE Mothering and you will too. Now that Mothering has gone digital, you can get your mama dose without killing any trees! Nice. The best part is, you never have to wait six weeks for that first issue.
Here’s how to enter:
- Go visit Doudou bebe and find one item you like.
- Leave a comment on this post telling us which item you liked at the online boutique.
- You can only enter once - and yup we do keep track, but I know your karma is good.
- Enter by midnight Pacific Time (because that’s my zone) on Saturday, April 26.
- We’ll draw five random winners and announce them on April 27.
Don’t forget that one, you should check out all the other Bloggy giveaways going on around the blogosphere, you can enter to win some fabulous prizes. And two, we have another Bloggy giveaway going on right here as well - you can enter for a chance to win the great book, Big Green Purse.

I really like the spinning speller. This is perfect for my son since he loves to put letters together and ask what word he spelled. This would be a great actvity for the car. I love that it is not electronic or noisy or on paper that he will just tear up and throw out. Great giveaway!

Hope to hear from you (cause that means I’m a winner). LMAO
