Melbourne mamas! Want to win three tickets to this week's The Baby Show ? Get in fast and they're yours!

Expecting a baby? Have a baby or toddler aged child? Then this is one one event you won't want to miss. From Friday 5th to Sunday 7th March (that's this week!), Melbourne is playing host to The Baby Show. It's the debut of this event in the garden state, and offers great shopping, exciting children's entertainment and expert advice about your pregnancy, or your growing and changing baby or toddler.

If you'd like to win FREE tickets to The Baby Show at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton, which starts this Friday, please email me at peta@mathildasmarket.com.au, with the subject heading BABY SHOW TICKETS PLEASE! The first FOUR people to email me before Wednesday at 5pm will each win three tickets - one for yourself and for two friends. Tickets are valid for either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. (Don't live in Melbourne? Why not do your good deed for the day, and forward this post to a friend who might want to head along!)

I've just been checking out the event's website at www.thebabyshow.com.au, and it's tempting to attend JUST for the great kids' entertainment on offer. My one-year-old goes eerily silent when anywhere near The Wiggles on a TV screen, so she'll love the chance to see Dorothy the Dinosaur (Dorothy will be appearing at 9.30, 10.30 and 12.30 each day). The free rides on Thomas the Tank Engine are bound to have little people bouncing up and down, too! And that's just the tip of the entertainment iceberg. There are so many other attractions making this an event well worth attending. I love that there's a changing area with free nappies for all, and a kids' cafe full of healthy snacks. And there will be regular baby care classes conducted by professional childcare experts and pharmacists, who will be on hand to offer you advice and answer your questions. There is also an impressive line up of guest speakers, including Tizzie Hall of Save Our Sleep fame. And if you click here you can see every company representing or selling their products there, from shoes to health products to cloth nappies to 4D pregnancy scans and absolutely everything in between. You'll find some great deals there, learn loads and have a really fun time, we're sure (Sydney people, The Baby Show comes to you in September.

So Melburnians, email me quick sticks at peta@mathildasmarket.com.au, and score yourself three complimentary tickets to this bumper event!
