Join the Fall Fling!
Fall is in the air! We took a hike in Cumberland National Park and saw red leaves falling from trees. I love this time of year when the weather finally cools off, parks clear out as older kids go back to school and gardens are ready to harvest. To celebrate Because Babies Grow Up is hosting a Fall Fling to celebrate and welcome fall. It’s been fun to see all the back-to-school celebrating, but we feel a little out of touch with that since our children aren’t in school. The Fall Fling is meant to bring the celebrating to little ones with fun stuff just for them.
For the next two weeks, we’ll be discussing new products, music and activities. Each day you’ll find something fun to celebrate fall and help your little ones make the transition from summer to fall. We want to hear how you celebrate fall, too. Each Friday I’ll collect all the Fall Fling posts from your blogs and highlight them here. We even have prizes from some great sponsors to help you get ready for fall.

This looks like fun! Fall is my favorite season. I would love to win the Monster Mania book
I like to camp when the weather is just changing and you can wake up to a crisp morning and see the changing leaves. I like all the gifts, but the toys look pretty fun.
I did a post
I’d love to win the Melissa and Doug Beginner Pattern Blocks.
This is a great idea. I’d love to win the Melissa & Doug toys. I’m going to post your button on my blog as soon as I get the baby to nap!
Hooray for fall! It is definitely my favorite season. I am torn between the M&D toys or the Cherish Bound Child Chat. I think my AD Girls would really enjoy the cards.

Hi,
I would love the Monster Mania crafting book. My son loves crafts and I would love some new ideas. I think the monster theme is a great one!
Can’t I just submit a post without having to add anything from your blog?
Ok. I added the link to my post. The prize I am interested in is the John Jeffrey Hodges prize.
How I enjoy Fall:
http://thesoulofjapan.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-reason-why-i-like-autumn.html
I don’t have a blog so I’m just going to tell you right here what we did to celebrate Fall tonight! My little girl dressed up in her Halloween costume from last year (yes, it’s a little snug but she didn’t care!) and hunted “pumpkins” (orange plastic eggs from Easter) that had candy, fruit snacks, etc. in them that I hid around the inside of our house. I would have hid them outside but I live in the south where the rains have been HORRIBLE for the past week and the yard is MUSH. I can’t tell you how much fun she had Indoor Trick or Treating! She can’t wait to Trick or Treat for real soon.
Great giveaway! I’d choose the Melissa & Doug pattern blocks (if shipping to Canada is available), and if not, the Make and Takes Monster e-Book.
I love the Melissa and Doug Beginner Pattern blocks
(I LOVE Melissa and Doug. I am addicted!)
