What you can win:
One GRAND PRIZE winner will receive all of the prizes listed below. Three RUNNER-UPS will receive the Divorced Dad Book.
Prize #1: A DadGear Messenger Diaper Bag (DadGear Diaper Bag Review)
Most diaper bags are made for women: flowery, bright, definitely not made for a cool dude. So, DadGear came with with a line of diaper bags made especially with guys in mind. They are heavy duty, tough, cool looking, and designed to carry everything a dad needs while still keeping his cool guy image intact. One lucky winner will receive a DadGear Messenger Bag of their choice (excluding the Billboard series).
For a limited time, you can save 15% off any DadGear order when you use Code: fling 15.
Prize #2: Being Dad DVDs (Being Dad DVD Review)
Babies don't come with instruction manuals, unless you count the unwanted advice that everyone seems to give you. But wouldn't it be cool if there was a kind of instruction manual for being a dad or for knowing what a expectant or new dad is thinking? Well, now there is with the
Being Dad DVDsdvd set! Appreciated by dads, moms and doulas alike, these dvds help give a new or expectant father an idea of what their new role in life will be.
With divorce becoming more and more common, that means there are more and more divorced dads out there. Learn about parenting the divorced dad way from Joel Schwartzberg the author of these funny, yet highly useful short stories. If you know a single or divorced dad, this is a great book for them!
Becoming a dad for the first, second, or fifth time is never easy, especially if they are expected to sit through endless rounds of baby parties. But, don't despair, here is the perfect present for any new or expecting dad (and it won't make them roll their eyes!). The
Diaper Changing Toolbox comes with everything a new dad will need in order to get use to his new role: tongs to remove the toxic waste diaper, a mask to cover the gag worthy smells that babies seem to produce at an alarming frequency...and THERE'S MORE! Check out the review of the
Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox here.
Dad's love their kids, but sometimes it is hard to find the right kind of manly personalizable jewelry (excuse me..hardware) for guys to wear. But, here is something that is just perfect for any dad out there...a personalize cuff (i.e. man bracelet) where you can show off your love for your kids while still keeping up that cool guy image. Made by
TaviaMetal, these elegant yet edgy pieces are perfect for any guy!

During my first pregnancy, I carefully selected a pregnancy and parenting book to read and to use as a reference throughout my pregnancy and during the first 12 months of my son's life. I did make it through half the book, but as soon as my son was born, I realized that I didn't have time to take a shower, let alone read an entire book. It would have been much easier to have an online reference like thevisualMD.com's Infant Nutrition Center.
