Well, it’s been a year since our baby blog was born. Our birth announcement first appeared in the Star Tribune on September 9, 2006. 

It’s been an amazing time for Kay and me and we hope for all of you who’ve been along for the ride, weighing in on all things big and small that consume us all as new parents. We know this blog has endured because of all of you who’ve been moved to comment and share your experiences, guest-blogged, sent suggestions by e-mail, and those who simply come here to read everyday. THANK YOU!

To show our appreciation to our readers, we’ve got some fun giveaways on Cribsheet’s First Birthday. All of these revolve around posts we’ve featured in the past year.

1. An outing with MomCulture. Minneapolis mom Lenore Moritz takes parents and their young ones for private tours of art museums and private orchestera and opera performances. Yes, your toddlers are allowed to run around and yes, she feeds you lunch too.
2. A set of four “Now You Mombo” CDs by Nanci Olesen. Mombo’s mission is to “broadcast the everyday truth about motherhood (in order to save the world.)” Listen and I think you’ll see what she means…Nanci’s stories will make you laugh and cry at the same time. And finally… 
3.  A writing critique session with Kate Hopper, who teaches the Motherwords writing class at the Loft. Remember that primal scream you scribbled down in the dark of the night in between feeds? Or that book proposal now covered in dust. Kate will give you her undivided attention and honest insights on what works and what doesn’t.

And everyone is welcome to enter - don’t let the fact that the word “mom” is in every prize steer you away.

To enter -send us an e-mail (cribsheet@startribune.com) with your top choice gift and we’ll put them all in a (clean) diaper genie, shake them all about and draw the winners at random next weekend.

May and Kay (and our reasons for writing)
