Here’s a cool contest that we wanted to bring to your attention:

The SanDisk® 60-Second Summer Mobile Phone Video Contest.

All you need to do is shoot a 60-second video of your favorite sights and sounds of your summer and post it at YouTube.com/SanDisk to be eligible to win. (You can submit a new video as many times as you wish.)

Capture your baby frolicking under the sprinkler… make memories of your pregnant belly lounging at the beach… showcase your family vacation… you get the picture!

In return, they’re giving away summer cash and prizes every week such as:

• One $5,000 Grand Prize Winner – to be announced at the end of the contest.
• Five $1,000 Weekly Prizes – this goes to each week’s best entry.
• Top 25 Weekly Finalists will win a SanDisk mobile memory card, MobileMate™ Micro Reader, and t-shirt.

Contest runs now through August 31st. You have until Aug 10th to submit your video for the contest. A winning video selection will be judged each week. There is no limit to the number of times any individual can enter, though they cannot re-submit the same video in the same and/or following weeks during the contest period.

Entries can be submitted at http://www.youtube.com/sandisk.

The winning videos will be showcased on SanDisk’s YouTube channel and will be available for downloading at www.wakeupyourphone.com.

*SanDisk is a maker of flash memory cards.

Is your baby moving on to solids? Before you know it, he’ll be feeding himself.

The Play and Learn Baby Spoon is a great starter utensil for your little one. Designed as a developmental tool it helps babies become familiar with the feel of using a spoon (promoting hand-eye coordination).

It’s BPA, phthalate and lead free, and is made of durable rubber. Definitely crushworthy!

Note: Once baby is actually eating solids, this spoon is best used with thick yogurt or custard-y type of baby food that will stick to the spoon!

For three days only Cradle readers will receive a free Flip-Flop Tube of Dr. T’s Supergoop with purchase.

Why Dr. T’s? We love this sunscreen! (Seriously, it really is super.)

• It goes on smoothly and easily – no heaviness or stickiness.

• Little ones like it. That’s right – you heard us. They won’t fight you putting on this sunscreen since it’s so light and quick to rub in.

• It has SPF 30 – their sweet skin will be well protected.

• And, it’s safe for the whole family.

Our personal faves? The Flip-Top and The Quick Stick – throw either one of these in your diaper bag or purse and you’re good to go.
