Trying not to be paranoid is a tough thing in 2007.

Between the lead paint, the detrimental effects of Baby E, looking out for dairy, egg, soy, wheat and gluten, and just parenting in general, paranoia is easy to come by.

Marcie, over at My Two Boys has compiled a great list of companies that are lead-free, complete with linkage. She updates it daily, or as new info comes in, because she’s good like that.

Check it out, and then breath a sigh of relief–there are still plenty of toys in the world that are safe for our kiddos!

So I’m kind of done entering contests, I mean, I already won a great pair of socks for M, and I’ve already found a winner for my prize, so what’s left to do in the “chance to win” arena???

Well, tonight I discovered the 5 minutes for mom is giving away a giant TV !!

Now I don’t know much about TVs, but a 37″ Flat Panel one sound good to me. It’s all courtesy of Best Buy. What nice folks. And just in time for football season (I think).

P.S. I think it’s really nice of them to sponsor such an incredible give away–it will make some blogging mama’s family very happy–they’ll have something to watch while their mom blogs away! Can you imagine the Baby E caterpillar on that thing?!?!?

After collecting entries all week, I’m happy to announce that I have a winner of the super-plush bear and blanket set!!

Pickel is the winner! Congratulations!

How did I pick my winner? I did it scientifically, of course, and left it to a random number generator. I wasn’t about to decide between all of the sweet people who left comments–mamas who are expecting, mamas who are adopting, grandmas, best friends of those with infants….no way!

This has been sooo much fun–I hope that many of those who entered will come back and visit often–I’ve enjoyed the traffic this week!
