Guest Post on Tutus & Tea Parties and Other New Happenings

Tutus & Tea Parties is oficially accepting guest bloggers! Hooray! If you have an idea you would like to submit please email me at lfrank1018@gmail.com with the subject "Guest Post". 

Some things I am looking for:

-a crafty tutorial
-a project for the kiddos
-just about anything on parenting or learning through play
-cooking with kids in the kitchen
-fun meal ideas for kids


If you have a different idea that you think will fit in with this blog feel free to send it on over!


Some guidelines:
Please submit ideas written by you that have not been previously published anywhere online. You may publish the content on your own blog one week after being featured on Tutus & Tea Parties and I would love for you to let your readers know when you are guest posting here. If your submission is accepted I will reply with your feature date.


This could give you some extra exposure. I will be sharing each guest post on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. I will also write you an introduction and feature other posts of my choosing from your blog.


Some other happenings going on around here:


-I am also looking for giveaway sponsors. Shoot me an email if you are interested. You can check out my stats here.


-I just started an ongoing link party of outside play ideas so please stop by and link up!


-Did you know about the weekly Pinterest Party? Link up your crafts/recipes and get them pinned {and pin some others in exchange}! Pinterest is currently my #1 referring site! WOW!


-I am also accepting sponsors. I am only taking 4 per month and the order in which they are featured are first come first serve. I have 3 spots left for February. With the link party going on there are lots of new visitors which would mean lots more exposure. The spots are just $5 per month and includes a button on the top left sidebar along with a one time introduction post of all sponsors. {if you are a blog I'd love to swap buttons for free - this would not include a introduction post and you will be added below the paid sponsors} Read more about this here.

I am so happy I decided to start blogging just over a year ago and love where this blog has taken me. Thank you all for being so supportive and sticking with me! :)

Wanted: Giveaway Sponsors for the New Year!

I was booked for months on giveaways but now this year is wide open {except 1/13/12}!

I love hosting giveaways! If you have something you think fits in with the theme of this blog {for kids or parents} please send me an email at totshop728@yahoo.com with the subject Blog Giveaway Sponsor and I will give you all the info. I use Rafflecopter.com for all my giveaways. 


{if you would like me to write a review of your product along with a giveaway please let me know - In order to give a proper write up I will only review items that I find useful for me, Bug or our lifestyle}

I will send you back a list of "getting to know you" questions and once they are answered you will get a date assigned to you. Your giveaway will run for 2 weeks.

The mandatory entry is usually to visit your shop/website and comment their fave item {unless you would like something else to be done}.

Bonus entries are to heart your shop and follow/like any other pages you may have {facebook, twitter, blog, etc}. If you do not have FB, Twitter or a blog they are asked to subscribe to your shop feed and blog, tweet or post about the giveaway or pin one of your items on Pinterest. There are many possibilities and you are free to let me know if you have any other ideas about how to enter.

Here are examples of previous giveaways:

Benefits:
*exposure to your shop & other sites
*I promote the giveaways on my Facebook/Twitter

*I link up to giveaway parties & if on Etsy, send them to an Etsy giveaway site

I'd also love for you to promote when your giveaway is up to gain even more entries.  Afterall, your fans are more likely to want to win!

Please keep in mind, the better the value of the item the more entries and exposure you are likely to get. {I'd love items with a minimum of $10}
