Ticket Giveaway: Your Natural Baby Fair!

Win 2 tix to Your Natural Baby Fair --Free

Last year Baby Bird and I ventured out to Your Natural Baby Fair. As it so happens, I won my ticket by commenting on the San Diego Breastfeeding Center’s blog. Even though my family will be out of town this year, I was thinking about sharing about the fair anyway, as it is something I really believe in. When I was recently offered the opportunity to pass on some free tickets to my readers, I figured this is a perfect way to pay it forward (or is it pay it back?), in gratitude for my free pass last year!

This year’s fair features Dr. Sears, the author of the Vaccine Book, as the keynote speaker. The fair has grown, supposedly doubled, and is in a new location. Even if you are not in San Diego, please consider entering the contest, as there is also the opportunity to win a subscription to a New Mommy Media podcast.

Contest Winner Announcement

Congratulations to the winner of our first contest: Liz from San Diego! I understand that Sandy may have sidelined the intentions of some of our East Coast friends of entering, so I promise to have more contests in the future.

And her prize?????? A wedge of homemade cheese!

This one is inspired by one of my favorites, Humbolt Fog, and is a mold-ripened cheese with a line of ash. I will be sharing the recipe soon, but in the meantime, please consider this picture a sneak preview.
