Comment and win...a Target gift card!!

BalloonExciting news, dear readers....we are approaching comment 1,000 on Charm City Moms. This milestone coincides nicely with the six-month anniversary of the blog, which is coming up in a couple of weeks.

To mark the occasion, Anne Burger, our crack marketing professional, is offering a $50 Target gift card to the lucky 1,000th commenter.

If you want to play, a few rules to remember:

--Include your e-mail address where the posting form asks for it so I can get in touch with you later to get the gift card to you. Otherwise, your comment won't be eligible for the prize. E-mail addresses won't be published.

--Only comments pertinent to one of the posts will be considered for the prize. So post a great bake sale recipe, talk about the Jonas Brothers, or offer your best back-to-school deals. But if you're spamming or just writing "here's my comment," that won't do it.

--Normal commenting rules apply. No obscenities or personal attacks.

Good luck!

Ok, speaking of Target, the new Target at Mondawmin Mall is awesome! It's so nice for a City mom to be able to get to a Target without driving all the way out to the suburbs!

And for the suburbanites who fear to drive into the City..hey, it just makes it that much less crowded for us urban types as we shop for school supplies... :o)
