My sweet friend Jules at Everyday Mommy was kind enough to forward an email from BabyButler about a product they'd like me to try. I'm trying to get "trying free stuff" classed as "aerobic exercise", so I shot them an email and in a few short days I was the proud possessor of three of these charming devices.
They are made of soft, multicolored flannel and good for holding a bottle. They can also be used as burp cloths, changing pads and nursing covers, making them excellent shower gifts for breast- or bottle-feeding moms. They're dry clean only JUST KIDDING! Just toss 'em in the washing machine and they come out softer and gooder than new!
If you'd like to win a BabyButler Bottle Holder, retail value $19.95, leave me a comment. To make it fun, let's all tell one thing we never thought we'd say before having children. Don't have kids? No worries. Just tell the class your most embarrassing moment. Or the name of your fish. Or just say "enter me".
Here's the fine print:
•One entry per person, please. Multiple entries will all be deleted.
•I'm not psychic so Anonymous entries will be deleted because I don't want to wait on the Universe to bring us together again.
•US mailing addresses only.
•You don't have to have a blog to win, but you do need an email address.
•3 Winners will be drawn Friday, October 31, notified via email and listed here. You will have four days to respond with your mailing address. If I don't hear from you by then, I'll draw another winner (make sure you check your spam folder).
Okay. I'll go first. I never thought I'd ever have occasion to say "That's a very nice poop, Darlin'. Now let's put it back in the potty where it belongs." But guess what? I did.
More giveaways at the Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival!
I split my pants and was not wearing any underwear.
ReplyDeleteIn two hours we will leave the house for storytime at the library. Before children, never did I think that I would spend Monday afternoons among a dozen other adults and their children, sitting in a circle, and singing "finger poppin', finger poppin', pop, pop," while making flicking motions with our hands.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest!
Lets see..."Dont play with you pee pee in from of company!", "The bath tub is not for peeing in!", "Dont stick your hand in the potty!", as you can see their are a lot of things dealing with the potty or bodily functions lol. This is a great product!
ReplyDeleteI NEVER thought I'd say "Because I said so!"
ReplyDeleteBut, it turns out that sometimes, that's the only answer that works!
I never thought I'd say, "Come here, let me smell your armpit." Followed by, "No breakfast until you complete your personal hygiene."
ReplyDeletePuberty is on its way in stalking odoriferous fashion. I am very afraid.
I never thought I would spend my free time sitting at the railroad tracks waiting to see the "choo-choo" or walking to construction sites to see the "beep-beeps"! Having boys changes everything!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my giveaway too!
"Stop that cryin' or I'll give you somethin' to cry ABOUT."
ReplyDeleteMy dad got an enormous kick out of that one.
BTW, the word verfication says "perflooz". That is my new favorite word.
One thing I never thought I'd say? "No, we don't touch our poop! It's yucky!" Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteNo, Jack, we don't take our clothes off at church..."

well mine isn't exactly a comment...but i didn't think i'd sit and have a real life conversation with a newborn. they are really great listeners and i tend to just jabber on, fully knowing that to her, mommy just said...doo doo blah blah mama blah blah. yeah its amazing what we find ourselves doing.
ReplyDeleteSo my mom and I take care of my nephew while his parents work and my mom is always struggling to feed him and take care of himself - so this would be GREAT!
ReplyDeletehmmm... I never thought I'd say, It's time for school, get to the table.
ReplyDeleteI decided to homeschool our kids so we do school at the table. :) I never even thought of homeschooling before having my kiddies.
My sister in law could use this for her brand new baby twins. :)
I was playing in the water with my little cousin (4 yrs) and i wanted to get her head wet with the hose. She didn't want to...so I told her that if we water her like we do the flowers she would grow...so she let me. She got totally wet and it was so much fun. Then we go inside and she announces to the family that we need to water he baby sister (8 months). Everyone was totally confused, I had to explain to everyone what happened and to her that it doesnt actually work that way =(
ReplyDeleteMy fish's name is dead, because my 2 yr old will have him that way soon. fish don't do well on a diet of crackers & vienna sausages...at least I don't think they do!
ReplyDeleteNo kids yet and I'm too shy to share my most embarrassing moment...But, I'd love to be entered in your contest!

I never ever thought I would talk about kids having gas as much as I have since I had two boys. It is seriously funny stuff to them.
ReplyDeleteI never thought my child would train me! I thought it would be the other way around! LOL I learn something new everyday!
ReplyDeletevinceandkara@yahoo.com
yay!!! you went poopy!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would be so happy over a child going poop and discuss the matter at length with my husband! Constipation is no fun.
ReplyDeleteHow about, "I just want to wipe my butt!". I yelled that one afternoon when my toddler wouldn't leave me alone in the bathroom!!!! This giveaway looks GREAT, thanks for the chance to win!

I never thought I would be willing to give my baby to just about anyone for a few hours, just to get some sleep! (I never did, mind you, but it was tempting!!!)
ReplyDeleteAlso, many more poop conversations between hubby and me. :)

What color was his poop? Was it runny? :-)
ReplyDeletemommykoala at live dot com
Ooooh I need this!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought that I'd have to say "Why are you licking the wall?" and "Come on, why would you put the cats tail in your mouth?"
I never knew I'd be able to spend so much time discussing poo with other mothers.
ReplyDeleteLet's see, how about, "Please don't climb the walls," or "It's not okay to pee on the carpet," or maybe "We don't lick the salt shaker!" Okay, so those were all from one morning, it's an every day battle here I think. Thanks for the giveaway!

I never thought I'd have to tell my husband to tell his sister to stop bending our sons fingers backwards! (His sister is 3 y/o and our son is 4 m/o!)

I went to the gym and didn't know that I had a HUGE hole in the crotch of my shorts. I just about died when I realized that AFTER doing crunches on the floor for about 20 minutes.
ReplyDeleteOne Halloween, a drunk man stepped on the back of costume, ripping it right off me. It blew several yards down the street as I stood on the side walk in nothing but a thong.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would say, "Get that dead dried-up earthworm out of your mouth!" (grin!!!)

Unique! Love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering it!
princesslimey (at) gmail (dot) com
enter me!!! I actually don't remember my most embarrasing moment because I work really hard to forget them, quickly.
ReplyDeleteThings I never thought I'd say:
ReplyDelete"Don't lick that booger off your finger."
"Keep trying to scotch tape the cat, and she'll take your face off."
"I told him his hair needed a trim, but I didn't tell him to do it himself!" (in response to a call from the principal's office letting me know my son had just cut his hair)
Never a dull moment, that's for sure.
I never thought I would ask my husband if he thought our little boys poop looked ok. Thanks for the great contest. ecghick@yahoo.com
ReplyDelete"come here, let me smell your butt"
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would have to ask who stinks!! I have 2- 2 year olds!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe that I had to tell my son multiple times that we do not put food in our ears.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I would ever ask anyone - who has a poopie and I call the poopie maker a cute poopie monster. Wow that really sounds silly typing it out, lol. Thanks!
ReplyDelete"Honey, you have to wake up. There's poop in the bed." Not mine- our 3 year olds.
ReplyDeletei find myself saying 'eat your food or else...' more than i ever thought i would!

ReplyDeleteI keep hoping she'll learn to hold her own bottle soon. We never thought we'd say, 'look at all those spit bubbles.'
ReplyDeletei never thought i would say "i love you" a million times a day, but i do!
ReplyDeletei also never thought i would talk about poop so much.
kmc.love at gmail.com
that bottle holder is ingenious!
Just had this conversation with SIL: Get your face out of the cat's butt! LOL
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would say "Please poop little girl". That was after about a six day stretch of nothing and I was getting really worried. She finally did and I have never been so happy to see poop in my life.
ReplyDeletelivlifelov at yahoo dot com
I never thought I'd say "Are you listening to me?" I used to hate that! But, I'm just one of those moms!
ReplyDeleteI was horrified the day I heard my mother's voice coming out of my mouth ... "Because I SAID so, that's why!" I swore I'd never say that to my kids. Whoops
ReplyDeleteI would have LOVED to have had one of these when my son was using the bottle! Even if I don't win, I'm buying one for my next baby!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would say "Just because you have a hole there doesn't mean you need to stick your finger in it!"
Thanks!

I never thought I would hear myself say "you can get glad in the same shoes you got mad in".
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd say to my husband: 'is there any way you surreptitiously sniff her bum and see if she's pooped?'
ReplyDeleteI have a kid on the way so I am looking forward to saying many things a haven't before!
ReplyDeleteI like your poop one. I'm sure there has been a few comments I've made similar to that!
ReplyDeleteI am another one of the "Because I said so" or "when you have kids then you will understand" sigh,, I am so turning into my mother.

ReplyDeleteOur youngest is 2 months old and we are a bottle/formula family (our children have come to use through the miracle of adoption) so this would be awesome! Anyway...on to the question...
ReplyDeleteI never imagined having to say, "We don't put anything in our nose, ears, or anywhere." (After removing a screw from one of my sons nose.

One thing I am always yelling is, I just want to pee. My kids always have to bug me when I go the bathroom. I was always very shy & quiet, so my mom always laughs when she hears me actually say "pee".
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that I know a couple moms that would *love* this! What a nifty product :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids, and embarrassing moments are too embarrassing to share.. so I'll tell you that I have a cat named Buttfrack ;)

ReplyDelete"We don't put our mouths on other people's things."

I'm not entering your giveaway, Dana. I don't feel like I should enter when I'm not hosting a giveaway myself. But I had to jump in here and tell you, the one thing I never thought I'd say to my own children was, "Because I said so, that's why." And, "As long as you live under my roof..."
ReplyDeleteIf by chance my name comes up, just toss it back and draw another one. Nice prize though. I've seen these and they're very clever!
BOTH of my pregnancies were over Halloween. BOTH times my brothers talked me into going with them to haunted houses. BOTH times..... I wet my pants. Gulp!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I never thought I would have to say "Get out of the potty!" LOL I would love to win this to give to my cousin who does not plan on breastfeeding at all. At least this product would come a little closer to the feeling you get when you do it. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteThese look very cute and great shower gifts (or I might justkeep it for myself!) :]

'Shut up'. Not allowable in our house, and yet there were a few moments, in line at Walmart when I'd taken on way more than I should have and was frazzled that I yelled it out. There were moments when I was one of those awful moms at Walmart, so now when I run into them, I hate hearing the screeching but I do extend some grace because I've surely been there and done that!
