Weekend Links: Queen for a Day winner (& coupon codes)

A few of my favorite links from this past week …

• Six Ideas for Exploring Nature with Kids ::: Not Just Cute
• The Best Ways “Not” to Help  a New Mom ::: The Gypsy Mama
• Eat Well, Spend Less: Simple Bites Goes Shopping ::: Simple Bites
• The 7 Habits of Reasonably Green People ::: Simple Organic
• I Never Intended to be a Green Mother ::: Se7en

Thank you to everyone who entered our Queen for a Day Giveaway here at Simple Living Media!

I was touched by some of the entries.  It looks like Simple Kids readers have some very special moms in their lives and it was neat to read your kind words about them.

And the Winner Is …

Speaking of special moms, one lucky Simple Kids reader is the winner of our gift basket!  And that reader is:

Tori. Congratulations, Tori!

I want to thank the sponsors of our gift basket, the wonderful vendors whose generosity made this “thank you” for moms happen.  If you’re looking for a gift for the special mom in your life, I encourage you to check out these terrific companies!
