I am one of the contestants on The Sling and Swaddle Journey, sponsored by Hotslings and The Miracle Blanket, and a bunch of other awesome companies. Thirty moms have been chosen to microblog their daily adventures on Twitter. Hotslings has given each mom the pouch sling of the mama's choice to wear her babe, and The Miracle Blanket people have donated two Miracle Blankets to swaddle the babies.
There are three criteria for winning:
There are three criteria for winning:
1. the number of updates/posts
2. the number of followers
3. creative content
The winner receives a prize package of over $2000 in products and gift certificates, and gets to do media-type things for the companies for one year.
Currently, I am doing well in number of posts and creative content. I have more posts than the other mamas, and, well, I'm funny and write clever things. For example, today's first tweet was:
Hello, postpartum hair loss. Who invited you to my party?
See? Funny. Well, not really funny, I'd prefer my hair stayed on my head, but you see what I mean.
Unfortunately, one mama is whooping my behind. She has nearly 600 more followers than me. (Fortunately, she can't spell and her tweets often make no sense.)
Why do I need your help?
If I win, I am donating the prize package to Teen MOPS, so they can bless the young mamas they are nurturing. *
Please. Pleasepleaseplease. Go to Twitter. Sign up for an account. Follow me, my user name for the contest is Mom_17.
You don't need to actually use Twitter. In fact, unless you are sitting around wondering what to do with yourself, I'd recommend against it.
The contest ends June 30th. It will take five minutes.
I will bake you each a cake if I have to. I am not above bribery.
Please? Pretty please? With chocolate ganache on top?
*Everything goes to Teen MOPS except the digital camera. My mother is still using a film camera and it makes me crazy. So she gets the camera.
