CLOSED!
Congratulations, Selena!
o
The Fourteen Days of Laughter are here! (& just in time, after a doozy like yesterday) You’ve seen me Tweet & Facebook & basically be a raging tease minus fish net stockings, but I am so honored to be a part of the Bright Starts kickoff of their new Ingenuity line. Because it’s Bright Starts, y’all. & ten bucks says that like me, you already have a product of theirs that your kid is currently drooling on. & the awesome part about this kick-off? It’s a give-away. As in, the winner takes a pick of a big-ticket item from the Ingenuity line. That’s right. Someone is going to win a swing. Or a pack n’ play. Or a bouncer. NOW YOU SEE WHY I TEASED YOU?!?! Because I was so excited, I wanted to explode!
If you have a kid like Harrison, you spend many hours literally bouncing the child in your arms, on your knee, etc. (if you’re still brewing a kid, I pray that you do not have a kid that likes to bounce considering I’m pretty sure my knee will NEVER stop jiggling at this point) We had a bouncer, but it only vibrated. I won’t name names, but COME ON. My kid doesn’t want to be vibrated! HE WANTS TO BE BOUNCED. SO WHERE THE HELL IS THE BOUNCING?!
It’s here:
Ladies (& gentlemen), may I present to you the Ingenuity Automatic Bouncer, aka SOMEONE FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT!! The hybridive (look, I’m not an engineer. don’t ask me) keeps it bouncing, just like a mother’s arms. On two different speeds. With music or water sounds, if you so choose. & it’s so sweetly soft. It’s also perfect for serving oatmeal & applesauce in the evenings:
The toys are sweetness & one of my FAVORITE things is how neutral it is. Because a) I don’t dig loud & obnoxious-looking toys that don’t blend into my home and b) I can use it for a boy or a girl. & it was super-easy to put together, even at ten o’clock at night. Oh, it washes well, too. Harrison already christened the headrest three times with oatmeal & vom.
My only complaint? I wish there was a third bounce speed that bounced harder & faster. Because Harrison REALLY liked bouncing to the point of needing a bungee cord off the back deck to keep him from crying. Maybe that’s a safety thing but if it’s not, those of us with Babies That Demand Bouncing would like more speed, please.
I know, I know…shut up, Blair, & get to the good stuff. One lucky person will win an Ingenuity product of your choice! So here’s the details:
Share “that moment” that you realized you became your own mother.
It doesn’t have to be baby-related – maybe it was the moment you carried a pie over to your new neighbor. Maybe it was the moment you said “EFF IT” to homemade tomato sauce & broke down for Ragu. Or maybe it was the moment you marched across the playground & told your child that if they didn’t stop hanging upside down on the monkey bars, they were going to crack their head open & you didn’t have time for the Emergency Room.
