If you weren’t aware, Kristen Chase, CMP super editor, co-founder, and neverending source of energy, hilarity and abject good taste, is about to churn out baby #3. So to hide our complete panic at being without her for 24 hours (seriously Kristen, you don’t think you’re actually taking a maternity leave from Cool Mom Picks do you?) we’ve put our efforts into throwing her a little online baby shower.

And we’d love to see you there.

No gifts necessary, just offer up some happy reminiscence of your own new baby days–or that of a friend or relative. Post it on your blog or website before Sunday night–find all the rules here–and you’ll be entered to win one of five fantastic gift baskets valued at…well, a lot, courtesy of our premium sponsor beau-coup favors and gifts who’s provided five $100 Amazon gift cards, along with CMP faves and supporters Chittypulga, Craftsbury Kids, Julian & Co, Mason & Matisse, New for Baby, The Silly Wagon, tj&co, and Vincent Shoes.

But really, the prizes are just gravy. We’d all do it for nothing. Because it’s Kristen. And we love her.

And we really want to make sure she comes back. – Liz + staff
