Burpy Bibs - Giveaway

Tricky is a messy eater. Actually that’s quite an understatement. Food goes everywhere.

It’s not that I’m that bad at aiming for his gob, it’s just that some of it comes back out again.

Because he’s so interested in everything around him, his head swings from side to side like one of those wide mouth clowns you put the balls in, and as a result the food likes to drop not only down his front where his bib is, but down the sides of his shoulders on to his clothes.

It is not unusual for the kid to need a change of clothes and a bath after a meal.

So when Aden + Anais sent me some amazing Burpy Bibs that covered Tricky’s shoulders I danced around the kitchen singing the Hallelujah (not the angelic one, the Dr Alben one - you know, where the chicks dance around wearing shower curtains).

Ooh nom nom nom!

No Mama, I do it.

The other thing that I really like about them is the way they do up at the back with a simple press stud – the other bibs we use that are long enough to do any sort of clothes-protecting are all of the over-the-head variety, which means when I yank them off gently pull them over Tricky’s head, half the food that was on them is now smooshed in to his face, no matter how carefully I do it.

Their design is just genius. They can be used as a burp cloth when you’ve got a spewey small baby and because of their contoured shape, they stay on your shoulder as if they were glued down. And because they’re Aden + Anais it means they’re super soft muslin and look awesome with their chic prints.

For reducing the amount of washing I have to do and therefore saving me time and money, and for looking completely funky, (and because when put on backwards they make a great baby cape) the Burpy Bibs are being awarded the coveted Where’s My Glow Seal of Approval!

Quite Revealing - Giveaway

I normally wouldn't have jumped at the chance to review a mop seeing as I'm allergic to cleaning *ahem* but Map Guy has just finished laying our brand spankin' new kitchen floor so I'm still in the 'it's new I will clean it daily weekly' mode.

I also would not normally get excited over said mop. But I did. It's so cool I even got my Mum to come over and look at it... she was impressed too.

This God of Mops that I speak of is the Rubbermaid Reveal Mop.

Check out my floor!

What I love about this mop (and yes, I just used love and mop in the same sentence) is that it's so much more eco-friendly than the ones I'm used to:

• There is no need to fill up a bucket every time, there is a non-drip bottle that you fill with your preferred cleaning product and you just pull the trigger and it sprays on the floor. Perth is about to face massive water restrictions if we can't all save water this summer so not filling up a bucket definitely helps.
• The microfiber cloth is machine washable so you don't have to keep buying disposable ones - this reduces your carbon footprint (producing those disposable clothy things takes energy!) and reduces landfill too

Plus it's so quick and easy, it looks funky and as it swivels around the floor it picks up 50% more dust and dirt than your standard mop which kinda just pushes it all around.

I seriously love this mop so much it's being awarded the coveted Where's My Glow Seal of Approval!

If you'd like to get your hands on one you can head off to Bunnings and grab one for $39.95 OR you can WIN one here, hooray!

To enter all you have to do is:

• be a follower/subscriber of Where's My Glow? (The button over on the right)
• leave a comment telling me the cleaning job you hate the most
• for an extra entry follow @Glowless on twitter and tweet about the giveaway (leave a separate comment)
• for an extra entry like Where's My Glow on Facebook (leave a separate comment)

Entry is open to Australian residents and closes at 8pm AWST on Friday 4th February at which time the winner will be chosen using Random.org. The winner will have one week to respond to their winner email before a re-draw. Good luck!
