Because someone has to win...

Four things you might want to know about...

1) A really, really, really nice mama over at Diaper Swappers is offering a lotto where you can win 22 free diapers and inserts including Fuzzibunz, Drybeez, Swaddlebees, and others. She is even paying the shipping! All you have to do is leave her a comment with a story where either you performed a random act of kindness or someone did so for you. The contest ends 1/31, so get writing! The winner will be chosen at random. Click here to enter.

2) ShopRite Partners in Caring has teamed up with General Mills to launch a new video contest called Expressions of Hunger. This local video contest encourages every day people -- from classrooms to choirs, families to friends -- to creatively share their perspective on the issue of hunger through song, dance, poetry or dramatic reading.



By entering, people will have the chance to be one of six (individuals or groups) to be featured on a limited-edition Cheerios box and have their video featured on the ShopRite Partners In Caring website (http://www.shopritepartnersincaring.org). Entries will be accepted from now through March 1, 2010.

To Enter:
· Electronically submit a video of an original song, poem, performance art, or dramatically read story that creatively describes the plight of the hungry or offers a solution to hunger.
· The video should compel others to become engaged in the fight against hunger in our communities.
· Enter by clicking the “Entry Form” button at www.expressionsofhunger.com.
· Here are three example submissions posted on the Expressions of Hunger contest website (www.expressionsofhunger.com).

3) babySNAZZ is giving away 20 pairs of BabyLegs. All you have to do is provide an email address and tell them what item in their store is your favorite. The contest ends on 2/28 at midnight. Click here to check it out.

4) To get Americans thinking about life insurance as an expression of enduring love, the nonprofit LIFE Foundation is sponsoring the Crazy4Love Photo Contest. From now until February 19, you'll be able to visit the popular microblogging website tumblr.com and share a photo that captures how you've expressed your love to someone dear to you. One Grand Prize winner will receive a $1,000 gift certificate toward a romantic getaway weekend. Go to www.insureyourlove.org to learn more about the contest and to enter.
