Yoyomama is having a special Facebook contest during March, and the prize is an ErgoBaby Carrier (retails approx. CDN $115), courtesy of their friends at StyleKid.ca! The ErgoBaby is one of the highest-ranked carriers by mommies.

So how do you enter? Yoyomama wants to know from you:

When you are out and about in the Lower Mainland, where are some good places you've found to feed your tot?

Most of us have had an awkward experience or two, but we'd really like to focus on great public places that go the extra mile to make your life easier when it's feeding time for your babe! Maybe they warmed your bottle or pureed up some veggies just right for your little one?

For example, one of our all time favourites is Science World - it has a fab nursing room equipped with dimmed lights, magazines and a one-way mirror so you can watch your older tot play in the play area - perfect!

Share your great experience! To enter, simply post your tip on the Yoyomama Facebook Wall, and you will be entered into a draw to win an Ergo Baby from StyleKid.ca!

Contest is open to anyone within Canada, but the recommendation should be about a location in the Lower Mainland. Contest closes March 31, 2009.

Thanks to Sarah L. from Yoyomama for this contribution!

Enter enough online contests and giveaways, you will win something at some point! I am terrible at math but you have definitely got a better chance of winning one of these contests than you do at Lotto 6/49, since online contests typically have fewer entrants.

Today I received an email from Winners that I won one of the Biddell bags, created by new designer Evan Biddell, winner of Project Runway Canada Season 1. I'm not crazy about the bag, but I'll take it!

So if you have some time on your hands, enter a few of these online contests. It's just a matter of time before you win something.

I'm still hopeful that I'll win a Wii...
