Hot Contests: This week, we want to win... a Celebrity BUMP Bag from Modern Mom... a Roomba 560 from One Chic Mama... a Toys R Us gift certificate from Moms Buzz... and a Nikon Coolpix camera from Mindful Momma.

DIY Ideas: All you crafty mamas -- head to forty-two roads for an adorable rocking chair project, then check out shiso mama for some sweet knits. Not one for needles and yarn? Try the kid-friendly cookie recipe at Boston Mamas.

Test Time: See how your knowledge of baby development compares to other American parents at Thingamababy, where you can take the same test used in a recent study that determined almost a third of parents don't know what to expect from their child.

Stuff We Love: Check out the multi-functional Chilly Jilly wrap featured on Mommies With Style and the brand new baby Crocs seen on MomFinds.

Safety Stuff: The Soft Landing Blog has a fascinating account of just how difficult it can be to get full materials lists from product manufacturers, while Silicon Valley Moms Blog looks at another controversial parenting topic -- vaccinations. Also check out Safe Mama's new report on today's safest (and questionable chemical-free) sunscreens.

Stuff We Don't Love: Mommy off the Record takes issue with Johnson & Johnson's new baby cologne, and Daddy Types brings up some good questions about maternity seatbelts. Meanwhile, the guys at DadLabs discuss splurges you don't need to make in a funny new video.

Etsy of the Week: Flashbulb's sewn wall hangings are super unique, and feature incredibly adorable patterns that are perfect for a nursery.
