Thank you so much for your participation in the Pick Nick’s Brain Holiday Season giveaway!! I loved all the feedback and the article ideas. A special thanks to those who wrote a guest post for 10 entries. I will get those posted very soon.

I appreciate the comments about the color scheme. It will be a long time before I change it, though, as I’m still paying for the original design. We really wanted to have it appeal to both men and women and be soothing enough that someone could sit and read a lot of pages at one time. I see from my statistics that some people stay and read up to 30 minutes or more, so it needs to be easy on the eyes (don’t worry I can’t spy on who is reading at any given time, just that SOMEONE did. ;))

I have thought about whether the navigation is easy enough now that I have so many articles, so I’m glad to know that my gut was right on that. I’ll work on that in the near future!

And, now what you all are waiting for! To choose the winners, I assigned numbers to all the comments, in order, including the extra entries (for example, the 5th comment was assigned 5, 6, & 7 because she had 3 entries (comment, thumbs up and tweet)) and then I went to random.org and used the number generator to choose the comment # for each winner. Here are the winners of the contest:

1. Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera - Sharla
2. LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table - Sarah
3. One Week Unlimited E-mail Consultation Package ($99 value) - Mary_Freebies
4. 5 E-mail Consultation Package ($44.95 value) - Blima
5. A copy of my e-Book, Help Your Child Sleep, a Step-by-Step Guide ($30 value each) - Janet & Rose
6. A full set of pre-selected Monkey Do Alphabet Flashcards - Janet F

Congratulations!!! The winners will be contacted via e-Mail later today.

Thank you again for participating, everyone! Be on the lookout for another giveaway sometime around Valentine’s or St. Patrick’s Day!

I am so happy that I have been featured in 5 Minutes for Mom’s weekly column 5 Minutes Around The Blogosphere. My contest to win a copy of my Help Your Child Sleep, a Detailed Guide e-Book, sleep consulting services , or custom-made baby blanket was listed as a “Baby Essentials” contest.

If you haven’t heard of this website, you should check it out! It’s a place that brings moms together and gives you great places to visit while online. You should definitely check out their readers blogs and mom-run websites. The owners also have this really cute store that sells rocking horses called A Rocking Horse to Love.
