Do You Have a CuteKid™?

As many of you know, I have been posting a CuteKid question of the day. We’ve gotten some great feed back from you all on Facebook and Twitter! Here are a few highlights from this week to start your weekend off!

What’s the cutest thing your kid has said this week?

A Facebook Friend: “Mommy, I want a slide, a tunnel, a sandbox and a swing for me, Peyton, you daddy and the dog.”
-This kid is smart!

Another Facebook Friend: My daughter told me she couldn’t wait until she got older so we could be the same age. Then we can do EVERYTHING together!
-Haha that’s a girl that sure loves her mom!

What’s your favorite thing about being a parent?

Facebook Friend: My son always starts his sentences with “umm mommy, your so pretty can i please…” he knows how to suck up already!
-Quick learner!

Another Facebook Friend: Everything but the best is when you get to see them do things for the first time and their facial expressions. I love it when they learn to say mommy and i love you.
-Somehow, I think she hit the nail on the head for most parents!

I know you’ve all been waiting. Well here it is, The March CuteKid Contest Winners! This month, our Preschooler winner took the top title as The CuteKid of March! Congratulations to her and her family!

Congratulations to our other finalists as well! They’ll all be in the running to be The CuteKid of the Year also! See March CuteKid Finalists.

Entries are still being accepted to the April kid and baby contest, get in now, and my next winners announcement could be your kid! Don’t forget to check out our Easter Contest too!

We know how you all love our free gallery contests. Well here’s the inside scoop, the next one will be Easter/Springtime themed! So get those cameras out, start snapping…and of course, watch your email box for the official notification!

It’ll be here soon, along with your chance to win $500! So be on the look out!

Will you be entering the Easter/Springtime gallery?

This post is inspired by the support I saw flying across the Internet for a fellow twitter-er and blogger who lost her 17 month old daughter this week. Trying to help another in her honor!

Last month I wrote about a 6-year-old girl, Jasmina, who is in desperate need of a bone-marrow transplant as she has an aggressive form of Leukemia. Awareness of her disease and her need for a transplant has been aided by big stars like singers,  Rihanna, Lil Mama and Kelly Rowland.  Jasmina’s parents adopted her when she was only 3 days old and are not a match for her.

I explained a little in my previous post about helping Jasmina, just how easy it is to get tested and donate. It’s a simple outpatient proceedure and you can DEFINITELY save a life. Hey, if Rihanna, Lil Mama and Kelly Rowland can do it, you can do it too!

Also, stay tuned to TheCuteKid, we’re going to be announcing another gallery contest to benefit the March of Dimes
since our last one was such a success!

As promised, here are a few fun answers to my CuteKid Questions of the day I started this week.

What’s your child’s talent?

Twitter Friend: My almost 11 year old is a competitive barrel racer & has 5 championship buckles to her credit. That caught my attention for sure!

What celebs are your kid’s role models?

Twitter Friend: My sons love cooking and cooking shows. They equate chefs to rockstars…no…bigger than rockstars. I was not expecting Bobby Flay to come up for that question!

Be sure to check out my Twitter for the CuteKid Question of the day, I’m using #ckq to track the answers, or just post a comment right here to the blog!
