Well here it is people … my very first blog giveaway!
Back in November I was lucky enough to win the Australian New Zealand Babywearing Week (ANZBW) Bloggers Competition, organised by Babes in Arms, with a blog post detailing why I love my Ergo. Part of the prize was an original ErgoBaby carrier in Cranberry.
I am so in love with my Ergo (which is a black ErgoBaby Sport) that a thought crossed my mind to keep it.
Well many thoughts actually.
“You never know when you might need a spare,” the greedy Ergo-loving voice inside my head advised. “Look, it has a handy little pocket for spare change or a bus pass, your Sport doesn’t have that”. “Oh, it’s so pretty … can’t we keep it?”
After moving it into a cupboard in our new abode, still in its box I put alot of thought into what I should do with it. And now as I near the 12 months anniversary of my first ever post, the decision I’ve made is final … it’s time to spread the Ergo love and give this lovely Cranberry Ergo Baby (valued at $159) a new home.
So, enough of my chatter … what you really want to know is how to enter, right?
Well here it is, I’ve devised multiple ways for you to enter to give yourself more chances to win so get clicking!

Bel, love the pic. Sexy new dad wearing the Ergo – Yummmmm!!!!!
Just liked you on facebook
Joined you on google friend connect!
ok ok orlando bloom looks way too cute in that pic. I have heard all good things about ergo’s but have not used one yet to date!
I’m a google follower.
I have been researching baby carriers like crazy. I really want the best ones because I know it will be a waste of money if it’s not comfortable and I don’t use it. I have decided that I *need* the Ergo and a Moby Wrap. If Orlando Bloom were included, it would be a huge bonus. Not sure if I can win since I’m in the US, but thanks for the giveaway.
Hi! Thanks for dropping by … I’ll ship the prize OS if the winner is outside Aust, so good luck! I also researched like a demon before I bought my Ergo and couldn’t be more happier. I still use it all the time and my boy is now almost 16 months and around 12 kg! I get the ‘doesn’t that hurt your back’ comments all the time and it really doesn’t. Best carrier ever!

My firstborn was a colic baby-oh the torture!!! I found that we both coped with the 3 hours of evening screaming (his, not mine-I just WANTED to scream), if he was being “worn.” I adored my Kangaroo Korner fleece pouch and soon found more and more reasons to buy other ring slings (it can go in the pool… it’s padded…), wraps, mei tais, pouches (it’ll be cooler for the summer months!), etc. but I covet the Ergo. I desperately want to try one but they’re so expensive and what if the baby outgrows his love of being worn??? THANK YOU for the chance!!!

I love, love, love baby wearing. I still wear my almost 3 year old, but since she’s getting a little big – I get to borrow my 2 month old niece for some sling time
I tweeted about your giveaway!
I shared your giveaway on Facebook.
My baby pouch saved my life when my forth arrived, in she slipped and off we went. hands free to hold at least 2 other kids hand.
There was an add recently on abc that told kids they must hold their parent’s and to cross the road up to the age of 10 … how do you do that with 4 kids under 10?
the pouch did make it easier – but my pouch was not this stylish!
I likey you on fb

I wish I had an Ergo Baby Carrier with my first two. It is the best baby carrier out there!

I received a second-hand Baby Bjorn from a friend who bought it about 5 years ago. While I love the concept of a baby carrier – I don’t love the sore shoulders and back it gives me! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the ergo carrier
P.S. just found your blog – it’s great!
Uh-huh, same. That’s why I am GOING to get an Ergo for my #2, one way or another. They’re so comfy!
Oh I’m a liker and a follower and would love one of these. I have a very lovely friend who is pregnant and this would make the perfect pressie for her. Fabulous giveaway for your first. Beautifully done

Can I just say how much sexier a man gets when he’s babywearing? Orlando Bloom never really appealed to me before he became a proud and natural daddy!
I’ve got to agree! Suddenly he is much more appealing to me also. The power of the Ergo! Thanks for entering … good luck!
I would kill someone for one of these… okay, maybe that’s a tad dramatic, but I am keen to get one, as my daughter insists on being held during everything I do that requires the use of my hands. I’ve been known to beat the life out of a potato because I couldn’t peel it one handed. Hahaha.
I have wanted an Ergo since before I finally fell prengant with my son – my darling (yes that was heavily laden with sarcasm) husband thinks it’s a total waste of money and refuses to let me buy one after he spent a week using a bb we were given and absolutely hating it.
I’ve spent the past 14 months trying to figure out how to buy one and then tell him that I won one, he’d never believe it if I did!
I like & I follow (serendipity)

baby-wearing saved my sanity with my 1st baby, esp of an evening with his colic.
I didn’t baby-wear with my 2nd much, but am enjoying it again with my 3rd. I am using a sleepy-wrap and my baby does sleep in it while we are out, but find it gets a little warm, so I’m keen to try other carriers. The Ergo looks and sounds great.
Oh my gosh, I so badly want one! #2 is on her way – due in 3 weeks. With a very active 16mth old, I’ve researched lots of different baby-wearing options and the Ergo is definitely my favourite as they can be worn in them much longer and still be comfortable for me too! Thanks for sharing your bounty and hosting this giveaway!!

I hate prams! And now that my second boy is out of the Bjorn, I am having to use the pram more- grrrr! You have no idea how much I want an Ergo!
