It's a Giveaway!

Giveaway extended until Monday, March 15th. Check out this video to see the Padalily in action {and for a good laugh!}

..................................................

Hello Padalily.

You are clearly one of the coolest products ever invented. My arms and back wish they'd had you to ease the load when they toted baby Blondie and baby Brownie around in those cumbersome infant car seats oh-so-many years ago.

I tried to hold the car seat in the crook of my arm. Really, I did. I know it's better for a new mommy's tummy and back. I know it allows a new mom's hands to be free for other things like diaper bags and holding their bigger kids' hands. But my arms are wimpy and I gave up, forced to carry the car seat by my side as it slammed into my legs with each step. By the time I reached the church nursery each Sunday, I felt like I'd been through war.

Where were you then, Padalily?

All of my friends who had babies pre-Padalily are jealous. Clearly, you are the superior baby shower gift. And when I give you away at a shower, all of the other gifts are sulking in the corner amid the discarded gift bags and curly ribbon. Boppy feels old and deflated. Hooded towel knows she will always be important but wishes she was made of gorgeous fabric like you. Even the monogrammed onesies, so tiny and timeless, are no match for you, Padalily.

You are the perfect gift, a plush and stylish pad that wraps around the handle of an infant car seat. You are arm candy for mommies and eye candy for babies. You are my go-to baby gift, easy to wrap, easy to ship, easy to give, and easily the favorite gift of any mother lucky enough to unwrap one.

Your designer fabrics cause me to swoon and that amazing foam stuffed in between your gorgeous and colorful prints makes me wish you were the size of a mattress. I long to take a nap and dream of you right now.

Coco Blue, I love you.

Retro Camo, I would follow you into battle.

Divine Damask, heavenly.

Kashmir Karat, there are no words.

I love you even more because you were invented by Lily Winnail, an amazing mom who was tired of her bruised arm and brought you to life at her sewing machine during baby's nap-time. Now she juggles three kids, a home, and a full-time business run out of her guest room.

Thank goodness she no longer juggles an awkward-to-hold car seat and an ice-pack to soothe her sore arm.

She knows that moms juggle enough things as it is.

An infant car seat shouldn't be one of them.

So, A La Mode readers unite! I beg you, for the love of mommies, save their arms one Padalily at a time. Helping a new mom out has never been so easy...or so stylish.

So click on over to the Padalily site and get shopping. And because Lily is so generous and just happens to be my best friend, she's offering us a sweet deal: 20% off your order! Just enter the promo code SCOOP when you check out. There's also an amazing sale this week only: buy one Padalily, get one half off!

So go ahead, buy 40. You have my permission.

And when you no longer have your infant car seat, you can use the Padalily to cushion the handles of your green bags or the shoulder straps of duffels or large totes. You can wrap it around seat belts or use it as a little bolster pillow for your older kiddos when they fall asleep in their car-seats.
