***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
In honor of our new nephew’s arrival this week (he’s scheduled to come via C-section on Wednesday!) we’ve got the mother of all baby-themed giveaways courtesy of LaJobi Industries. They’re the makers of stylish baby and youth furniture and this week they’re giving away an eco-friendly crib and crib mattress to one lucky parent (or parent-to-be).
The Dakota crib by Graco is their first environmentally friendly crib – it’s made from sustainable woods, the dark walnut finish is water based and all the packaging comes from recycled materials. Plus, it looks pretty darn good. You can read all the nitty-gritty details about it on Walmart.com, since they’re the exclusive retailer of the Dakota line (which also includes a changing table).
But an eco-friendly crib wouldn’t be complete without an eco-friendly mattress to pair it with. So LaJobi is throwing in a Serta Nightstar Eco Firm mattress, which is made from organic cotton layers. Together that’s a $330 package that should help both you and your baby sleep better!
- PRIZE: LaJobi’s Eco-Friendly Dakota Classic Crib by Graco and Serta Nighstar Eco Firm Crib & Toddler Mattress
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CRIB ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us what your favorite bedtime story is. Is it a classic like “Goodnight Moon”- or something more progressive like “Captain Underpants?”
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, October 21st at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: USA only
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

We recently got Lama Lama Red Pajama for our little one. I LOVE this book for a bedtime story. It;s so cute and so true and so adorable…and most of all it’s really fun to read!
Noelle says
“CRIB ME” (please?!) My favorite bedtime story to read to my nephew is titled, ‘I love you this much’. My hubby and I are pregnant, and can’t WAIT for our little bundle of joy to make his or her mark on the world!!! :) This freebie would indeed be fab and certainly MUCH needed. Keeping my fingers crossed…xOx

I loved any story my dad used to make up to get me and my siblings to go to sleep. They usually involved adventures about the 3 of us.

CRIB ME. Our favorite bedtime story (for now) is Llama Llama Red Pajama and then Ellie loves the Beatle’s Golden Slumbers as a lullaby.
LizzieBeth says
CRIB ME, please ;)
My favorite books were ‘Katie the Kitten’ and ‘The House That Had Enough’.
I would be so blessed to win this. My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their second on Friday (C-section as well). TO save money they moved in with her parents. Her mother passed in the beginning of the month from lung cancer, and my brother was recently laid off. They desperately need a new crib, and this would be such a great gift to give to my new little niece.

CRIB ME! My favorite bedtime story is Ferdinand The Bull.
Julia says
Crib Me!
I used to love the book the Snow Queen, if you have not read it you should check it out. It would make a great kiddie movie too. My dad would read it to me and if he ever skipped a page or read something wrong I would correct him. (It was a long story so he would try to skip pages on me). :)
Becky K says
CRIB ME pretty please?! My favorite stories growing up usually involved Arthur the Aardvark or Paddinton Bear – oh yeah and Curious George!

Crib Me!

CRIB ME! :-)
My fave bedtime stories were the ones my dad told me every night as he rocked me to sleep in a big old yellow rocking chair!
Katie says
CRIB ME! (First time commenting) My favorite bedtime story to read to my 3 year-old son is Sleepy Bears. I love it because it’s a series of brief poems and ends with all the bears nestled cozily in a giant feather bed together. The text is lovely and quick, and the illustrations can be poured over night after night.
And as if you don’t hear it all the time – LOVE your site! Thanks :)
Emily says

CRIB ME … I always loved it when my dad made up bed time stories out of the way him and my mom met, got married, and started a family.
Kayla says
Crib ME! My favorite bedtime story when I was growing up was “The Itty Bitty Woman” I have no idea who wrote it, but I am a mere 5’0″ tall, so the fact that it was a great story AND she was short really hit home for me I suppose… :-)
Kelly says
Crib Me! What a great giveaway, youngsters! I loved the caterpillar books — they were bright and interactive, but I’ve forgotten what they were called. The Hungry, Hungry Caterpiller…maybe?

We don’t have a favorite bedtime story yet, though I love reading “Flotsam” with my goddaughter. It’s a true picture book and so much fun to tell the story yourself.
Molly says
CRIB ME! Surprise baby #2 on the way! My favorite bedtime story was actually made up by my dad. He would tell us a bedtime story every night after he tucked us in. He would pick a type of animal/creature, whether it be a pig, bird, worm, etc. and make up a fabulous story that taught a lesson in the end. That is one of the best memories from my childhood.
KimB says
CRIB ME!
Frog and Toad are friends!

I memorized Pound Puppies and would make my dad start the WHOLE story over if he yawned. Horrible, I know! Let’s hope my kids are more tolerant than I was. my poor dad!
Claire says
Crib Me!!!
My 2.5 year old loves to read Disney stories at bedtime, so that’s a huge favourite at our house. I think my personal favourite is Each Peach Pear Plum.
katie says
Crib me!
My father read to us every night when we were little. My favorite book was the collection of nursery rhymes. I “read” along from memory and can still remember them today. I’ll definitely be continuing that tradition with my little one.
