Lots of great prizes! Enter today giveaway ends Nov 3, 2014.
We all know how hard our service men and women work to serve and protect our country, and it is our duty as citizens to support the troops (and their families!). Many women living on military bases do not have the comfort and support of friends and family back home, which is especially difficult for them when they are expecting a new bundle of joy. They often miss out on typical experiences most moms-to-be look forward to – like baby showers!
That’s why we’re started the Operation: Baby Shower Surprise campaign to salute military moms and support these women who are stationed overseas. Two amazing moms currently stationed in Germany at a U.S. base received the surprise of a lifetime when all the brands below came together and threw them an awesome baby shower complete with beautiful gifts! They EACH received 36 gifts! (Video coming soon of the moms opening their gifts – we will share.)
Meet the two expecting moms: Morgan who is having a baby boy and Baillie who is having a baby girl!
NOW, we want all moms to join in on the fun and enter for a chance to win a grand package giveaway of these 36 AMAZING baby/kids must-haves! There are tons of cool and easy ways to enter (see the Rafflecopter below) such as:
posting a selfie on Facebook or Instagram of yourself (if you are a military mom) using #militarymoms OR
posting a selfie of you with a military mom using the same hashtag. If you post a selfie in uniform you can earn even more points! OR
If neither #1 or #2 applies to you, then just search #militarymoms on Facebook and/or Instagram and share another person’s photo on social media (look for recent pics so you know it’s likely part of Operation: Baby Shower Surprise). Make sure to include #militarymoms hashtag.
And so many other ways to enter!
REMEMBER….the more points you earn the better chance you have to win! The Rafflecopter entry widget is below.
Please share with friends and family and good luck!
