First of all, let me say a HUGE thank you to all who entered the Sponsor Auditions to win a month of free advertising on Marvelous Kiddo. I was overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the entries, and I feel incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity through this to discover new friends, amazing blogs, and so many incredible, heart-fueled business out there. In the end, I couldn't choose everyone, and narrowing it down to just twenty proved to be quite a challenge. But with the help of my dear hubby, I was able to select the following sponsors. I love the inspiration, talent, vision, and mission behind each and every one of them, and I'm thrilled to be able to introduce them to you now!

Here they are, along with brief introductions. I encourage you to check each sponsor out in greater detail by clicking on the links in this post or on the ad buttons in the left-hand column of my blog. You'll be glad you did!
