June is a special month for this blog and that gives me the perfect occasion to celebrate with presents and good times! I love the opportunity to give presents and I absolutely love to pick out the perfect gift and match them to the person. I thought that a good way to celebrate my 1 year anniversary was by gifting readers with lovely gifts -- 4 different presents for 4 different readers over 4 weeks. How is that for an anniversary celebration?
To kick off our first week, Koo & Poppet has a delightful bunny to give to one of you! I've blogged about this lovely shop before. Here, here and here!
I found the blog of Koo & Poppet creator Sarah last summer. She blogs about her life with her first baby and also had a flare for the creative and I loved her fresh style of writing. I quickly caught on to Koo madness and am so excited to have this present to give to one of you. One reader will get to pick between these two bunnies. So, which one would you pick?
How about sweet Sylvie with her perfect pink bow and her bunny ears.....
or maybe you would like to meet Baxter? The boyish bunny whose tummy is decorated with Ben's favorite thing...cars!
The only way to enter this contest is to leave a comment here on this post. A winner will be chosen on June 7th by using random.org. Thanks for celebrating with me!

Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!

June 1, 2010 at 9:06 PMHAPPY ANNIVERSARY Andrea, Alex and Ben! I have thoroughly enjoyed all your blogs, mama time talk and of course the pictures. keep 'em all coming, you have a knack for this blogging world. Both of these Koos are just too darn cute, i have never heard of them or seen them. I am sure either one would be great to have. what a refreshing change from the typical store bought stuffies.

Krista
Both adorable! I want to snuggle with one, but I'm sure either would be a hit with the new baby due to arrive on Christmas Eve :)

June 5, 2010 at 5:51 AMshou.milk@gmail.com
Oh goodness these are cute. My daughter adores bunnies and I know she would love having Sylvie come to stay with us. I'm pretty sure I could even guarantee Sylvie a spot as a bedtime pal! :-)

To another great year!!
Congratulations, and keep 'em coming! I love them both, I really do, but I would have to go with Sylvie, out of a cherry flower obsession.
