Cool Monday Giveaway!


Babies require a lot of gear, so it’s great when you can find an item that serves multiple purposes. That’s why I love the Oshi Mat, an eco-friendly recyclable foam mat that can be used countless different ways. Put in on your floor to serve as an activity mat, take it to mommy & me class, or use it as as a changing pad on the go. —It’s lightweight, water-repellent and comes in an easy-to-carry bag. And it’s safe for baby, as it’s 100% PVC- and Latex-free.

And we have one to give away to a lucky reader! To enter to win the Oshi Mat (in the design pictured here), follow this blog by signing up for its free newsletter using the box on the top right of this page. (Anyone who is already following “Born & Bred” can participate as well.) Then email us at [email protected] by Friday, May 13 at noon, putting “Oshi Mat” in the subject line. To increase your chances, leave a comment under one of this blog’s previous posts, “like” one of our posts on Facebook, or Retweet one of our posts–and indicate you’ve done so in your email. Good luck!
