Winners!
We have early registration winners! Thanks to the over 125 of you who registered before the August 15th Early Registration Deadline!
(Drumroll please).
The winners are –
New Consignors: Winners (who will have their consignor registration waived and receive a $10 Half-Pint Gift Certificate) are CS and BK.
Returning Consignor: Winner (who will receive a pass to get into the Volunteer Sale a half-hour early with a friend) is Veteran Consignor and Volunteer AP. She’s been around since our FIRST SALE! That is some staying power, friend.
Are you thinking – oh shoot – all of the fun is done, and I never got around to Registering to Consign. Ah, but you see, the BEST part of Consigning is the empty bins and the check in the end! Click here for more information.

Be Planet-Wise – and WINNERS announced!
Because one of the fabulous businesses that displayed at Half-Pint didn’t come on board until a few days before the sale (and because we were swamped with last minute to-do lists), we weren’t able to tell you about them then. But we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to make sure you know about Planet Wise!
Planet Wise Inc. is a local company that takes pride in their Made in the USA, Reusable, Earth-Friendly Products. Their Reusable, Waterproof Wet-Bags are especially helpful at the swimming pool for your wet swimsuits assuring that everything else in your bag stays dry. Also, they can be used for dirty diapers! (We even heard someone say that they use them as a reusable-baggie for snacks at work!)
My Swim Baby is a sister company of Planet Wise, and is located only 20 minutes from Madison. They sell everything for your sun and water baby including but not limited to, Sunglasses, UV Protective Shirts, Swim Shoes, Sun Hats, Swimsuits and Reusable Swim Diapers.
You may have seen their 10% off coupons at the sale (hope you grabbed some – awesome deal!) But they also have a prize in our giveaway – one of their great wetbags AND a swim diaper!

Valuable Information… and Prizes
At Half-Pint, we try and make the resource tables of value to you – we want you to Learn something – in addition to registering to win great prizes! Make sure you take a minute to check-out the tables by check-out. Grab some information, peruse the displays, and most of all Don’t Forget to Register to WIN! Here is a quick run-down of the goods:
Happy Bambino
We love them. They are a one-stop shop for eco-friendly, family-friendly baby products and information. They 
had just opened when our littles were born, and there was more than once I thought – HOW did moms live without Happy Bambino before it opened? Some of my closest friends I met through their new-momma gatherings. They’ve since moved to an awesome new location just over the Madison/Monona border (still in my hood). They’ll be giving away – get ready – a $100 Gift Certificate as well as an Annual Membership (valued at $99!). Membership def. comes with it’s privileges at HB, including special discounts for members only.
SwimWest / SwimEast
Both of our kids are swimmers at Swim East and couldn’t be more pleased. Not only is it convenient, but they have all made amazing strides in their interest and enjoyment of water, not to mention their abilities to swim! Recognized as one of the Top 3 Swim Schools in Wisconsin by the United States Swim School Association, SwimEast offers swim instruction to children as young as 5 months. Their warm water, indoor pool is the ideal place to acclimate your children to the aquatic environment. SwimEast encourages you to come “get your feet wet” in their swim program by trying a FREE class!
SwimEast will be giving away a full session of swim lessons for one child to the first summer session at SwimEast, May 3 – June 27, 2010!

Belly is a massage therapy companys based in Madison, Wisconsin, specializing in pregnancy and postpartum massage services (Although, not pregnant or postpartum, she gave us a mini-session last year and it was amazing!) There are many benefits to massage, and Katie will be giving away a gift certificate to help you find out!

There are a lot of reasons to use cloth diapers, and Mother Nature’s makes it even easier! Mother Nature’s Diaper Service delivers fresh cloth diapers to Madison and the Dane County area.

5 days of free stuff at Happy Bambino
Most people ask for gifts for their birthday. Not Happy Bambino! They are turning 5 this week, and with true local love, they are giving away $5000 worth of goodies in five days. (Can you believe it?!?!?!) The great part is that there are lots of prizes over several days, so your odds of winning are much higher if you hang out with HB for the next few days and participate.
How to find out how to win all of this amazing stuff? Join their mailing list or check out their website.
Each day of the five days they are posting info on their site as well as sending out an email with instructions on your job for the day. Yesterday, all I had to do is look at these amazing packages and decide which I loved most.
Hard, I know.
So, join the fun! Happy Bambino is an amazing resource for local families, and we would NEVER miss a good party.

a Free Open Play Pass to KEVA Sports? Color on, Child!
We’re big fans of free things for our family, especially when those free things = family fun. We just caught wind that if your child enters the Middleton Outreach Ministry Big Event Coloring Contest, they will get a Keva Open Play Pass JUST for entering! AND there are cool prizes such as gift certificates to the Mattell Toy Store and a Brett Bielema signed football. Awesome!
So have your children color away, and bring it to the Big Event tomorrow. Augh, you say, that’s a lot of work! But when you arrive to drop off your submissions at the MOM Big Event kids area, your half-pints will be treated to free games, crafts, face painting, balloons, temporary tattoos, and more. And for you a free performance by West Side Andy. Ok, you’ve convinced me. That is A LOT of free fun.
Hope to see you there!
