Celebrate "Firsts"with Pampers + Giveaway!

As a new parent there are so many special moments or "firsts" that happen with your child.  First tooth, first word and first steps are only a few of the amazing moments you want to remember.  Along with all these notable firsts there are many more to cherish.  Like the first time your baby gets a present and goes straight for the box because that is where the value truly lies.  As with this toy we got where the toy sat out in the open but the box caught his eye.

Boxes of course are notoriously under rated.  They can provide hours of fun, yet that is not enough without a good diaper.  Between playing with his new box or finally his new toys, Pampers can keep him moving and dry.  He can easily crawl around in comfort and we don't have to worry about any diaper troubles.  Finally, we have the time to absorb all of the other firsts.  Like his first time pushing a grocery cart or showing off his spectacular dance moves.

There is more to love as the baby spends the whole night asleep with his new Pampers.  He can get all the rest he needs because he is dry and comfortable so the next day he has even more energy to show off how clever he is.  We get more firsts because we spend more time with a happy baby which means more memories to share.

Pampers sent me this amazing package of treats to celebrate Peanuts firsts.  I'm saving most of them for a Christmas surprise.  He's especially going to love the shopping cart push toy, not only does it fold out into a kitchen but it plays 13 different songs along with being interactive!

Pampers Swaddlers are Pampers softest diaper and up till now have only been available to newborns.  Until now that is, Pampers has now extended them up to size 5 so baby can stay in the diapers you love!  To celebrate Swaddlers sizes 4 and 5, Pampers has 30 days of incredible giveaways and a grand prize of Free Swaddlers diapers and wipes for a year.  Join the celebration and enter their 30 days of sweeps on the Pampers Facebook page where you can win daily prize bundles, plus the grand prize!

Pampers Because Sleeping Isn't Just For Babies & Giveaway

Recently Pampers asked me if I knew any new parents who needed the gift of sleep.  My cousin and his wife had the cutest little boy earlier this year.  Let's call him Peanut, that's him dressed as Popeye with his mom.  Being brand new parents, I knew they could definitely use the gift of sleep!  Pampers is out to help parents get more sleep with their new diapers that now keep baby dry up to 12 hours.  After a long day fighting, he certainly needs 12 hours of sleep to prepare for the next one!

I wanted to gift mom and dad with some special foodie treats.  Did you know there are special foods that actually help you to fall asleep and stay asleep?  There are actually about five of them.  In no special order those five are bananas, nuts, carbs, dairy (or nut milk) and tart cherries.  I also picked up a few other treats like some nice bottles of wine, herbal tea, hummus and fancy granola.  That wrapped package was a surprise for Peanut.  Can't exclude baby, even when you're focusing on the parents.  Although, he knew that really everything was for him.  As he persistently and thoroughly checked everything in his basket.  After all, he's obviously the boss.

Even though chocolate isn't on the sleep inducing food list, I made some Buttermilk Oat Tart Cherry and Chocolate Scones as an extra special treat.  Tart cherries are one of the best sleep aides.  Be on the lookout for the recipe sometime next week!

Not only is Pampers letting me give the gift of sleep to my cousins, they're also providing a nifty gift pack for me to give away to one lucky Rosie Discovers reader.  One lucky reader will win a Sleep Sheep sound machine, cozy blankets for Mom/Baby and a $50 gift card!  To enter use the rafflecopter form below.  Contest is open to US residents 18 years or older.  Contest will run from October 18th thru October 27th.
