Hello fabulous bloggy friends! Did you know that Stuff Parents Need is not simply a one-woman show? Oh no, I have an assistant named Alanna (though I often refer to her as “Queen of Awesome”). She is the driving force behind all the fun giveaway promotions. So if you’ve found Stuff Parents Need thanks to an intriguing tweet, facebook post, or giveaway submission on a contest site, you have Alanna to thank for that!

Alanna is also the magical fairy on the blog who picks our winners. Well, technically Rafflecopter picks them, but then she makes sure that the selected entrant followed all the rules and passes along contact information to me, so that I can tell that person that s/he is a winner!

Alanna is taking a much-needed vacation with her family through the end of next week, and that means that drawing contest winners will be put on hold until she returns. It will be such a fun day when she returns, because we’ll be handing out prizes left and right! So if there’s a giveaway ending soon here that you are holding your breath to see if you won, well, don’t hold your breath (10 days is WAY too long for that!), but do know that we’ll be drawing winners right around August 6th!

In the mean time, I’ll still be bringing you plenty of fun content, and of course, giveaways!
