  3. When you find a flower, simply click on it. The flower will be added to your bouquet and you will be taken to a page that tracks your progress in the contest and links you to your next hint.
  4. When you find all 50 flowers, your bouquet is complete! You will be entered in a random drawing to win one of more than 40 prizes. If your name is chosen, you will be notified via e-mail.

What You Could Win

Grand prizes

Grand PrizeOne lucky winner will receive a Purely Yours Ameda breast pump. Purely Yours offers the utmost in flexibility and portability. This value-packed portable breast pump offers eight adjustable suction levels and four cycle speeds to create a stimulation that feels both natural and comfortable. It provides numerous variations to mimic baby's suckling, even as baby matures and grows. It operates on three power sources, including AC adapter, AA batteries or optional car adapter. Weighing only one pound, Purely Yours fits into its own compact tote bag designed to hold the pump and all accessories while safely storing collected milk up to 10 hours in the insulated cooling compartment.


Grand Prize Another lucky winner will receive a Cuisinart® CountUp™ Hand Mixer. Following a recipe has never been easier. The digital timer built into the handle of our SmartPower™ CountUp™ Hand Mixer starts running as soon as you press the ON/OFF button, and runs until you turn the mixer off. It tracks the mixing time to the second so you can follow your favorite recipes without watching the clock. And that's not all. 220 watts is more power than traditional hand mixers, but CountUp™ has control of it's own strength. 9 mixing speeds give you great control. SmoothStart™ and 3 low speeds prevent splatters with a slow controlled increase in speed. And with automatic feedback, this mixer will cut through cold butter, or a double batch of chocolate chip cookies without bogging down. Easy to clean and comfortable to hold in either hand, an exclusive rotating cord completes this very smart mixer.


Our final grand prize winner will receive a shopping spree at iParentingStore.com, in the Maternity and Baby departments, valued at $100. Choose whatever you like from the Maternity, Nursing and Baby lines, up to $100. (Use it all, because there is no cash back!) Name brands include Belly Basics, Olian, Rebel and more. For the best in brand-name maternity, nursing, baby and toddler clothing and accessories at unbelievable prices, visit iParentingStore.com.
