So what have you got planned for the long weekend? I am going to VEG – I may stay in my PJ’s for several days. The forcast is for rain! On the home front, the kidlets are going to Grandma’s (well the youngest three) – FREEDOM! So while the kids are wreaking havoc down on the Ranch. I am going to update the site, sleep, read, sleep, read blogs I like (like this one and this one and this one), sleep, eat out, see a movie, sleep – you get the idea right? I’m doing a happy dance … happy, happy, happy! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the kidlets, but this ROCKS. My mom ROCKS (I may need to be reminded of this in future).

As soon as I found out the kids were leaving for FOUR days, I went instantly into lazy mode, cooking supper was so out of the question. I felt so free and irresponsible, I had Mr. MommyKnows bring home fastfood. GASP! We don’t do fast food, so big treat for the kids!

My burger wasn’t right, I could see the lettuce I requested not be on there hanging out the sides. So I opened it up and I have just one thing to say, “WHERE’S THE BEEF?”.

Here’s the burger I bought.

Where's the fricken beef?

Here’s the burger I thought I was getting.

Doesn’t the beef patty look a little bigger in this picture?

Hmmm … I think I was gypped.

Georgia on the other hand was thrilled with the quality of the food!

mmmm ... fries

We had a beautiful spring day today and I was reminded why I love spring/summer and why I don’t!

Pro: It’s great fun to spend time outside with the kids! It also makes walking the kids to school so much easier.

Georgia in BLU 3

This is Georgia picking me dandelions earlier today. She thinks they are beautiful. We have a terrible dandelion problem, because I refuse to let Mr. Mommyknows use chemicals on the lawn. Georgia is wearing a great dress from BLU available of course from www.thebabymarketplace.com. This is one of my favorite baby clothing lines, mostly because of the gorgeous details.

Con: the sand from the playground that makes it’s way into my house. This is Sam’s lovely mess – SIGH!

After a long day … Georgia climbs in the bassinette that she hasn’t fit in since she was 6 weeks old for relaxing read!

May Madness (Day 8) - FREE Cloth Diaper - bumGenius! 2.0

Posted on 14 May 2007 by MommyKnows

***Comments Closed***

We have a winner!

#11 – Stephanie

**********

So many of you asked me to talk about cloth diapers. You also said you’d like to win cloth diapers. You comment and I listen. Today I am giving away one of my favorites, a bumGenius 2.0 One Size Pocket Diaper.

Today’s cloth diapers are nothing like they were in the past, and using them does not mean returning to the dark ages! Modern cloth diapers have all sorts of user-friendly attributes – velcro-type closures, snaps, flushable liners, etc. No pins, no yucky plastic pants – just soft cloth diapers and comfortable, breathable hi-tech waterproof fabrics.

Why use cloth diapers? Basics: good for your wallet, good for the planet and good for your baby!

REALLY!

bumGenius! 2.0

bumGenius! 2.0 diapers easily fit most children weighing from 6 pounds all the way up to 35 pounds. The bumGenius! 2.0 diapers were designed with fit, function and ease of use in mind.

Watch this great movie:

To win today’s FREE bumGenius! 2.0 just leave a comment AND you have to tell me whether you diaper your baby with cloth diapers or paper diapers (you can tell me why if you want to).

Now just check these out! Mr. MommyKnows ROCKS as you can see by the beautiful flowers he gave me for Mother’s Day. He gave me TWO just like this. Why two? I like them so much I like to move them around the house with me and I think he is tired of carting them around the house for me!

As you can see Georgia likes them too! She has tried to pry open a few lilys, she keeps saying, “surprise”. I think she thinks there’s a surprise in the unopened flowers.

Look at this close up. I love lilies!

Mothers Day Flowers

I also received some beautiful art work that I will show you soon! I hate to brag, but I am going to anyway … these kids of mine are TALENTED!

*************
Hideeho Blog Readers!

Did I really say, “Hideeho”? And did I really say I was giving away something FREE everyday in May? I did, didn’t I? Now don’t get your panties in a bunch, I am not backing out, nor am I regretting giving you FREE stuff. I’m just tired, gosh darned tired and I need the weekend off! It’s Mother’s Day … need I say more?

Here is the deal, I am going to list two prizes in this one post. When you comment you will have a chance to win them both. We will draw TWO names on Sunday night (9 pm’ish), the first name drawn will win the Saturday Prize and the second name drawn will win the Sunday Prize. Deal? Good!

Saturday Prize is:

Free recipe card for Sardine-Egg Canapes! I’m just kidding (bwahahaha – cracked myself up!) There are just too many funny blogs out there and I wanted to share that with YOU!

So the real prize is: FREE $25.00 Gift Card to www.thebabymarketplace.com

www.thebabymarketplace.com Gift Certicate

Note: secret gift code will be emailed to the winner.

Sunday Prize is:

Okay, ladies this is a good one … a REALLY good one! Happy Mother’s Day!

FREE Timi and Leslie Diaper Bag – Tag-a-Long Lucy

Timi & Leslie Diaper Bag

This Timi and Leslie Diaper Bag is only for the hip mommies out there (even if you not hip, if I draw your # you get the bag – no proof of hipness required).

Just look at all these features:

  • Easy-to-clean vinyl coating
  • Built-in strap attached to stroller
  • Coordinated changing pad
  • Multiple bottle pockets
  • Organization compartments inside
  • Easy-to-use magnetic snap closure
  • Double strap

Note: due to the limited quantity of these bags, it may be necessary for me to substitute color! In otherwards we have a few available for sale … if they all sell by Sunday night then you may get another color (camo or ricky).

Once again all you have to do is comment.

However, as I said this is tiring me out, trying to figure out what to give away every day is a challenge and writing something to go with it is tough too! So for this comment I want your ideas on what you’d like to win in the coming days (www.thebabymarketplace.com) and any topics I should blabber on about while I am giving them away (questions from the audience please).
