Izzy has a good blog post over here about the reporting confusion of answers to questions.

Just fyi - I sent out our 2nd pic of the week newsletter just then.

I hope you got your copy? 

We have added a bunch of new gifts to our Virtual Gift store.

Make sure you check them out 

I had a meeting with Matthew a few weeks back and casually mentioned the private URL each member has for their Minti member page. This has existed since the beginning of Minti (Mar 2006) yet Matthew was not aware of it... it suddenly struck us that maybe other members didn't know either?

Did you know that you have your own private URL for your Minti member page?

Note: We made it easy so when you tell your friends they can remember it 

It is... YourUsername.minti.com

For example, mine is claycook.minti.com 

If you are not finding what you want on Minti using our Minti search box (top right of every Minti page), then try out this Minti/Google Search Engine... 

Is anyone currently involved in the PR industry?

Or better yet, anyone here that used to be involved in the PR industry? Speicifically 'online PR'.

If so, email me on..... myemail [at] claycook [dot] net

I just had to blog about this stuff!

With our boys we always pureed our food for them and never gave them pre-made shop food (YUK... have you ever tried to eat that stuff yourself?).

Anyway, a couple months ago I saw a lady with this cool looking tube of food she was giving to her children. I told Rachel about it and she checked it out.

I can not say enough about it... it is all pure, no sugars and addatives etc, and exactly what we were feeding Joshua with, but it saves us hours and hours in the kitchen each week now. They are about $1.80 from memory, and they each last about 1-2 meals!

Check out all the flavours you can buy here.

This is pretty much what Joshua gets to eat these days.

Has anyone else discovered this food?

We just sent our first "pic of the week" weekly Minti newsletter.

You should be receiving it soon into your inbox, unless of course you have selected "No" for newsletters in your Minti Mail Settings.

The picture/photo in the newsletter is based on only photos uploaded in the previous week, and has a good rating. A list of relevant photos is then presented to us, and we then make a decision of which one to include.

Note: Only 'public' photos will be used. If you do not wish for your photo to be considered for the newsletter then please do not make it 'public'.

If you missed it, this is the photo that was in the newsletter.

Drum roll please...

And our winners for our first month tike competition are...

1. Australia - nabutters
2. Outside Australia - momof8gr8kids

Note:

1. These winners were randomly selected from the total tikes sent and received.
2. Both of these winners are now excluded from the remaining tike competition.
3. Your tike activity to date will roll over to next month's competition, so your efforts to date are not wasted. However I would encourage you to send and accept more tikes to increase your chance of winning next month.
4. There will be 2 more winners drawn mid Nov, and also another 2 drawn mid Dec.

just fyi... we will be drawing the first 2 winners around the 15th

back from 3 weeks on the Gold Coast

were we staying at the Paradise Resort which has kids club (even for 6mth olds!) so we were able to get out and explore/relax. i recommend it for Australian's travelling to the Gold Coast for a holiday.
