It's a Bloggy Giveaway!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

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.

  2. In 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.

    Thanks for the contest!

  3. 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!

  4. I NEVER thought I'd say "Because I said so!"
    But, it turns out that sometimes, that's the only answer that works!

  5. I never thought I'd say, "Come here, let me smell your armpit." Followed by, "No breakfast until you complete your personal hygiene."

    Puberty is on its way in stalking odoriferous fashion. I am very afraid.

  6. 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!

  13. 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 =(

  67. 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..."

    If 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!

  78. '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!
