For my May sponsors!

I’m so lucky to be supported by all these great companies and blogs. Please check them out if you get a chance.

Olive Bungalow Jewelry – handcrafted, made responsibly and ethically in the USA, and she has something at all price points. I love these Simple Stampings Sterling Rings, which start at just $24 and you can choose the message you want stamped on them. Could be a pretty cool graduation gift!

Passionfruit Ads- Jason, the mastermind behind PF, just rolled out a new pricing structure, and it only costs bloggers $1, plus PayPal fees to sell an ad through Passionfruit, no matter the size or cost of the ad! I don’t know about you, but $1 is totally worth having someone take care of the admin side of hosting private ads on my blog. Love! (Oh, and I heard a rumor that Jason’s back on board to sponsor this year’s Inappropriate Elf contest. We may be having a little fun with that next month. Just a rumor.)

Daily Mom Report- Did you know there has been a rise in kids eating those dish detergent pouches? The colorful ones? I didn’t until I just read the headline over on Daily Mom Report. I love checking in there for stories that are relevant to me and my family without having to search multiple sources.

DDL Apparel- created by Kim of Dirty Diaper Laundry, this is a shop for some rockin’ cloth diaper advocacy shirts. Leyna loves hers!

Cheap Mama Chick – This blog is all about finding great deals on great things, like organic sunscreen, shipped for $3! 

Healthful Mama-  This is the kind of blog that makes me want to do better- waste less, recycle more, eat cleaner. It also makes me want to wrap some cinammon bread around a stick and stick it in a campfire (but not actually want to camp… nobody can make me want to do that.)

The Southern Belle – Jessica writes a wonderful life and family blog that has given me much organizing and redecorating inspiration lately. I never considered how cute contact paper could make the inside of my cabinets look until I saw what she did with hers.

Good Girl Gone Green– Stephanie’s blog is full of tips and tricks for more healthy, green life, like how to grow a garden in low light. And did you know you can make your own, TASTY coconut milk?

Big thanks and lots of love to the folks listed above. If you’d like to see your shop or blog listed here next month, I happen to have a few spots open! My ad rates start at $35/month and can be found here, where you can also click through to purchase. If you’d like up to date stats, just shoot me an email. Also, you can use the code MEMORIAL to save $3 off a one month 125×125 ad or THREEMONTHS to get $15 off a 3 month 125×125 ad.

Kissy kiss, smoochy smooch to all my sponsors this month! Just know you helped me throw a pretty awesome birthday party for one spoiled 4 year old.

Passionfruit Ads They’re the only way I sell ads now. My life as a monetized blogger is one billion times easier, and I think the people who buy ad space from me enjoy it, too. Bloggers? You should totally sign up. And if you’re a shop that advertises a lot on other blogs, you should let them know about it. It makes the whole process practically effortless.

Olive Bungalow Tomorrow is the last day to get your jewelry orders in for Mothers Day delivery. Stackable gemstone ring, anyone?

Mrs. PTB Makes All Things Awesome including padded Kindle covers!

Daily Mom Report, bringing you the news you want and need to know as a parent and putting it all in one spot so you don’t have to spend your valuable time searching for it.

DDL Apparel  Rock your cloth diapers in style with some cloth diapering advocacy shirts. Cloth Rocks!

Good Girl Gone Green  Looking for a way to jumpstart your own personal green movement? Check out Stephanie’s “Favorite Things” list.

CheapMamaChick Some of you know me as a bit of a bargain shopper. Well, let me let you in on a little secret. I don’t really hunt for the bargains. I just follow blogs, like CheapMamaChick, to learn about them. In fact, I know CMC has been personally responsible for many of the great deals I’ve snagged in the last year.

Thanks to my sponsors for the support, and thanks to any of you who take a minute to check them out. I’m proud to have all of them prettying up my sidebar.

Interested in getting your own ad up there? Check out my prices here, then click through to purchase. This weekend only, get $5 off a 125×125 ad for a month with the code KENDALL (in honor of his birthday), or get $15 off of 3 months with the code THREEMONTHS.

Wazzzuppp???

Dude, that was so 1997. Sorry.

Anyway, here’s a little shoutout to some folks who are helping me feed my online shopping addiction (ZOMG the deals are CRAZY this time of year!).

Blogs

My Adventures Through Mommyhood details life as a toddler boy mom, and she’s happy to admit she’s “that mom,” the one that ignores her sons tantrums in public sometimes. I. Can. Relate.

Liberating Working Moms is back this month, and I think a lot of working moms can relate to how extra exhausting the holiday season is.

Courtina is written by a lovely and very talented photographer so you know that’s going to equate to some blog eye candy, especially with 2 adorable little subjects like her twin sons, who were born premature, but are thriving now.

Passionfruit Ads is not necessarily a “blog” but it is definitely something you should get excited about if you’re a blogger who wants to monetize (or who is currently monetizing – selling ads- and sick of all the admin work that goes with it). “Passionfruit is a service that will help blogs manage and sell more blog ads.  It’s not an ad network, but more like a shopping cart for your ads. We’ll also track your stats and clicks and help you figure out if you’re charging enough, and we’re planning a marketplace for advertisers to find sites to advertise with by demographic and traffic size.”

Shops

Little Bird Parties is a sweet little Etsy shop that sells, well, party stuff, and also the coolest keepsake ornaments that she puts your wedding invitation or baby shower invite inside. Just check it out to see what I mean. Also, readers get free shipping with the code babyrabiesfreeship. Yay!

Livi Stitches Patterns is back this month, and I really wish I could find the time to get the pattern for and make this Ava dress. 

Stringing Along is supporting me again. Yay! She’s running a twitter contest for a jewelry set. All you have to do is retweet a tweet she’s typed out for you. Scroll down her homepage for more details.

Hopper’s Baby Haven is also back, and they have Babylegs on sale for $9!

Olive Bungalow is offering 15% off earrings until Monday, December 5th at 9pm PST. I also have a SWEET giveaway from her coming up this week.

The Vintage Chain It may be too late to get your order in in time for Christmas, but it’s not too late for a last minute gift certificate!

For Two Fitness Forget working out in your husband’s enormous, old college t-shirt while pregnant! Oh, was that just me… that one time I worked out when I was pregnant? Well, either way, this stuff is ADORABLE. I particularly like this “We Need A Nap” tank.

That’s a wrap for now. I’m still accepting sponsors for this month, though, and it’s turning out to be a pretty good one around here with the help of my Inappropriate Elf. If you’re interested in advertising with me, send an email to jill at babyrabies dot com and I’ll send the media kit your way. A big, huge thanks to all of my sponsors this month! Please do check them out.

Here’s some love for the folks who are helping me stash Christmas money away this month. A huge thanks to my sponsors for November! Check them out if you have a chance.

Blogs

The Froggy and The Mouse– Awesome blog by an awesome friend, especially awesome if you’re a boy mom or thinking about cloth diapering part time. Steph is funny, real, a working mom, and a list addict. It’s a beautiful combo.

One Of Those Moms– Dianthe is another Dallas blogger who is full of sass and diva-like qualities (self professed), mixed with some crunchy ones, too. You should start by reading about how she had her baby on the side of the road. Truth.

The Hipster Homemaker– Kelli is a Chicago area birth doula and may be what you call a “birth junkie.” I especially admire her new plan to become a one-car household to pay off debt and save money. Seriously.

Mommy Points–  Mommy Points is all about helping moms and families make the most of their credit card points and miles earned for every day things, and turning them into reduced or even free vacations. I know! I’m stalking her now, too.

Baby Baby Lemon- I met Amy at Blogher this year. She’s lovely, she has an adorable little boy, and she’s semi-crunchy (just don’t ask her to give up paper towels). She also cooks things and blogs recipes and stuff. Salted watermelon granita? It’s like she GETS me. (Love me some salt on my watermelon.)

Crunchy VT Mommy– Back again this month. I can’t get enough of her pictures of her cute kids, and this letter to her single sister? I should just go ahead and forward it to mine. Pretty funny.

Liberating Working Moms– Also back for another month of sponsor awesomeness. So much relatable, great content going on over there. For one, this piece about prepping for Halloween as a working mom is amazing.

Stores

Hoppers Baby Haven- They sell cloth diapers, including one of my favorite brands Apple Cheeks, and all the cloth diapering accessories you might want. They also sell baby wraps, toys and diaper bags. Free shipping to orders in the US over $75.

Livi Stitches Patterns – “Sweet and simple children’s clothing patterns” The Livi pants? Could not be any cuter.

Calista’s Bowtique– Hair bows, paci clips, mitten clips, headbands and hats. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in this stuff when you have a girl! Now through November 25th, you can get 25% off with their Thanksgiving sale coupon code THANKS25.

Olive Bungalow– A long time supporter of mine, I really can’t get enough of her stackable rings. Rumor has it, she may have something for me to give one of you soon, too.

Stringing Along– Also back for another month. She has some beautiful, and very reasonably priced statement necklaces up.

The Vintage Chain– Make sure you get your orders in for custom, hand stamped jewelry by December 1st! I love all of Jennifer’s work, but I especially love the stuff she makes for the men in our lives, like the custom keychains.

If you’re interested in advertising with me, send me an email- jill at babyrabies dot com. I have special rates just for bloggers and small shop owners.
