Google, alliteration, massage chairs... huh?

I'm always fascinated by the online search topics that lead people to my blog.

Without a doubt, the most popular search leads to a post I wrote in March. As it turns out, there are people all over the world getting faint lines on pregnancy tests every.stinkin'.day. and they're all googling about it.

That post is also quite popular with those of you who are looking for an alliteration about Friday. I've got a solution in store... an alliteration for every day of the week, coming soon. But not today.

Also popular are product searches about Dr. Bloom's, Hostess Cupcakes and BINSI. Product seekers... did you find what you were looking for? Have you made your purchase yet?

Speaking of purchases, those massage chairs for pedicures must be more popular than I thought. Do you own a salon? or did you just want one of these to replace that broken down recliner in the den?

Other items on the list include discount coupons for Point Defiance, childproofing, a poem about miscarriage and applying Vaseline to a new circumcision... and hey, did you know Vaseline won't clog your pores? So you can slap a big glob of it right on your face, worry free!

See what I mean? Search topics are fascinating... who knew?

I just have one question though. To the person who googled 'Peanut Torture,' did you find what you were looking for? What were you looking for??

Giveaway... update!

Yesterday, my post mentioned the BINSI giveaway...

...please excuse my foggy-headed-ness. I said I'd be choosing a winner Friday, but what I really wanted to say was SATURDAY! So quick! hurry! Enter! Enter!

Random Rambles...

I always feel as though I've been sucked into some sort of time warp when I'm recovering from the sickies. Anyone else suffer the plight??

*crickets*

...hey guys?? Guys!! You didn't all take off while I was being, um, boring... did you?? I hope not. I hope you'll come back soon, if you did. I promise to try to provide more entertainment.

My little cutie-kins is on the mend, but still working to get that second bottom tooth pushed through. He's stuffing everything he can into his mouth... including the strings on my sweatshirt.

...and his Raz-Berry, of course! (Speaking of, mama's with teething babies, you NEED to buy one of these. Trust me. Just go and get one.)

He also gave me a 'fat lip' today when we bonked heads. There was blood. It wasn't pretty. I slapped on a little lip gloss and called it good, though... because really? No one looks at me anymore... they all just look to see who's in that stroller I'm pushing. (You'll understand my omission of a photo concerning the puffiness of my lip, I assume.)

Also new in the world of Camden... trying to get the ball before the kitty can swat at it.

...and sitting...

...and you can only see the next photo if you promise not to look at the background. Because it's not pretty. It's quite tacky, really. That's my "stuff I need to deal with" stuff.

Ready?

Remember--no background.

Ok.

...and getting your sucker of a mama to help you stand up and/or kneel in front of various objects... (heaven help me if he decides to start walking early!)

If you haven't already, don't forget to sign up for the BINSI giveaway!! I'll be announcing a winner this Friday...

BINSI: Review & Giveaway!

Have you ever considered the possibility of wearing something other than a hospital gown as you deliver your precious little baby? Have you ever considered delivering a precious little baby? Maybe not, but stick with me. Because this is cool.

Carrie and Kimberly, creators of BINSI Labor & Birth Apparel, were tired of those boring, uncomfortable hospital gowns. So instead of complaining about it, they took matters into their own hands and came with up something new!

BINSI skirts are designed to be worn during labor and delivery, and yes, they're hospital-approved. Each skirt is designed with snaps or Velcro to allow for easy, ehem, access, and with side slits to provide freedom of movement for various birth positions. or just for a little wiggle room... or waddle room, if you're nine months pregnant.

I'm sure I don't only speak for myself when I say hospital gowns aren't comfortable, and I don't even want to consider the number of people I may have flashed because of that obnoxious, wide open back.

Hospital gowns aside, these skirts are great! They're not just for labor and delivery, either. With an adjustable, draw-string waist and under-belly fit, they can be worn throughout pregnancy and then again as you return to your pre-pregnancy size. I'm months, if not years, away from my next labor and delivery, and I've got a BINSI! (It's super-comfy, too!)

Other perks include soft, cool cotton fabrics, a wide range of colors and styles to choose from, and an organic bamboo/cotton option.

Don't want a skirt?? Check out the other BINSI products, like the thankini, which would also be great for a nursing mommy or the Mama Ahh! chenille robe.
