I got excited when a certain diaper company asked if I wanted to do a giveaway of a “pack of Luvs diapers featuring Bear Hug Stretch and a DVD of Anita Renfroe – a $30 value,” even after I read that the (obviously jaded) Mom-101 wasn’t over-impressed by the pitch.
What can I say? I LOVE disposable diapers. There’s nothing better than a new pack of diapers. It’s like a baby trinity of comfort, technology, and convenience. Even worse, I love to wrap a stinky diaper in a PLASTIC grocery sack and throw that in a PLASTIC trash bag and throw that in a landfill. Will future generations want to flog me? Probably. Will that EVER decompose? Who knows. Future generations probably won’t even know.
Have you heard of Anita Renfroe? Yeah, uh, me too. On YouTube, you can see Anita do her William Tell “Mom-sense.” Even better is her Dad-sense piece:
Of course, we don’t want to fall into the Berenstain Bears trap of devaluing fatherhood, but this is too funny!
So it is with a light heart that I offer you the chance to win a pack of diapers and a DVD of Anita doing her Mom-Comedy thing. And I’m offering it on the weekend (when my traffic is lower), so if no one enters, I’m pretty sure I get to keep it myself.
I will say that, besides always using Rollings Reliable Baking Powder in my house of dreams, I have often bought Luvs diapers and I like them because a) they’re better than generic, b) they’re cheaper than Pampers and Huggies, and c) unlike those evil Sam’s Club brand diapers, they don’t give my kids hiney hives.
To enter: leave a comment about Things That Must Go. I’ll give you two examples from my quick run to Blockbuster just now.
Things That Must Go
1) Clerks, especially female clerks, calling me Ma’am and telling me to have a nice evening.
Do I LOOK thirty-five?
2) Grillz candy. When we lived in Florida, our next door neighbor had a gold tooth with the letter P carved in it. He carried around a brown paper sack that he drank from starting at 10 am. Turns out he didn’t actually live there, he just distributed drugs, which we learned after shots were fired into our house one day.
We never saw him again and later Eddie moved in. Eddie was a nice guy, and also not a drug dealer. Call me crazy, but I don’t think my kids need to mainline sugar while wearing tin-foil partial dentures.

Enter as many times as you like, one comment per entry. (Even if you no longer need diapers at your house, they make a great baby shower gift). Deadline is Sunday night at 10 pm. I’ll pick a winner and get those diapers and a DVD to you asap. Whether you win or not, check out luvs.com on June 25th to get a special $5 off coupon. Have a great weekend!

What the heck. Enter me. I am in a RARE mood tonight and could use winning something. Even if it IS diapers that will rot in the Earth. I can donate them to the women’s shelter or something…
traceys last blog post..Heh. Did I just hit post?
Dangit. I was supposed to say something that must go, right? Ok, here’s one for the first comment and one for this comment:
Things that must go: freaking disposable diapers. They suck. I like the gDiapers or cloth. Bring it on. I have been drinking wine all night and am READY to rumble…
#2 whiny SAHM’s that can’t appreciate the sweet deal they are being dealt. i.e. ME.
I suck. I need to grow up and just get over myself….
Well! What a lovely way to start your giveaway, eh? Sorry. See the apology on my blog… I just need a hug, I think…
traceys last blog post..Heh. Did I just hit post?
Tracey in the
WhineyWindy City,Here is a HUG for you. I hope things get better (FOR MY GIVEAWAY, TOO!).
But seriously, thanks for the laugh. And for keepin’ it real.
i use disposable diapers. i still consider myself fairly green. just too poor to buy enviro diapers. i live in an apartment. you kow how much it costs to wash out all those diapers? more than it does to buy a box a week! my kid tinkles every few minutes!
Enter me please, but don’t post me the nappies if I win – I would love the dvd though.
Things to go – Millions – tiny pink sweets (candy) that my kids love to buy if ever given any money for sweets (rarely) – they always spill and I find little pink nuggets stuck to furniture and carpet for weeks after.

We could use the diapers. It is a rare to find a diaper giveaway. Luvs isn’t my usual brand, but if I win I will make sure they are used. Thanks!
Thirty-five was ages ago for me and it really doesn’t matter how old I am, I still get asked for ID when I try to buy beer (to kill the snails) at the grocery store, so I let the ma’am run off like acid off a duck’s back.
The thing that must go for me is gas stations with one price on their marquee and an entirely different price at the pump (the difference? cash or credit). That’s deceptive and now that I’m on to their game I’m boycotting any stations that do it (at least until they all start doing it).
Dalenes last blog post..caveat emptor
I tried Luvs with Max and disliked them, but I’d be willing to give them another go. Especially if they removed Barney at last.
Things that must go? This freaking recession. Unless McCain is willing to pay my rent, since he doesn’t seem to think there is one despite all evidence to the contrary.

I’ve seen my daughter putting disposable diapers on her babies. It looks easy, but when I tried, the diaper came out pretty crooked. The baby had fun, though, and that’s the important thing. At one time, I was pretty good at pinning on real diapers on said daughter. I could use the practice if I had a package of Luvs.
Things That Must Go:
Diaper Genies
What a racket! Those marketing people convince every new mother that they NEED a diaper genie when in reality they don’t work. I mean they work, they just aren’t practical. I mean really it takes so much more time to change out that stupid cartridge then just walking your poop-infested diaper to the outdoor garbage and when you are blowing through 8-10 diapers a day do you really want to mess with cartridges instead of reusing the plastic grocery bags you get for free? Yes, that was a run-on sentence but damn it these things make me angry!! What a waste of money and it doesn’t matter how many veteran mothers tell new mothers to NOT buy the diaper genie, they still buy it.
So, send me the free diapers because I have a poopy 2 year old and plenty of free grocery bags to dispose of them.
Beths last blog post..Oh What a Bounty!
Things That Must Go: Dads having to do diapers. Can’t we go back to the good ole’ hands-off fathering days?
Something that must go: My forgetfulness. I just came home because I forgot something that I actually had with me in the diaper bag. Gotta love wasting gas. On that note, it would also be very nice if high gas prices took a leave of absence. It cost more than $65 to fill up my mid size auto today…. tears are being shed over this.

Things That Must Go: People who drop their screaming kids off in nursery and announce that they won’t be available if there are any problems.

Something that must go: dependence on foreign governments for our oil supply. We need to drill in America and give incentives to companies who come up with affordable and practical ways to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Ok, things that must go? Where do I begin?
The words “bling” and “cougar”. The high price of gas. My son’s temper tantrum that he is having as I write this, LOL.
it’s 9:51- haha- better late than never. What must go? My husband who has been gone for 6 months calling and saying “you sound exuasted, you should get some rest” — sure babe, lemme me know when you’re going to take over…..
[...] I enjoyed reading your Things That Must Go entries. And the winner of the Luvs and Anita Renfroe DVD giveaway [...]
I’m late on this, but I just had to add my “thing that must go.” I am not sure how to describe this, but occasionally around here you see pickup trucks that have attached to the tow hitch a, umm, I’m not sure how to describe this, it’s, umm, a sculpture of a certain part of the male anatomy. Until you see it for yourself, you wouldn’t even believe that such a thing could exist. I think that and having more than two bumper stickers are my things that must go.
Great topic! Also, thank you for your comment on my site.
Jennifer (Et Tu?)s last blog post..Some other things I’ve written…
I know the giveaway is over, but we don’t need diapers here anymore. A mute button permanently tuned in for “Temper Tantrums,” yes; diapers, no.
Things that must go:
Yo Gabba Gabba
Bratz
Any candy that comes shaped like a baby bottle.
Smiles.
Sounds like we were given different pitches – I was literally offered a coupon for diapers to give away to my readers. I guess you are on the A pitch list!
What must go? Oh, where to start. I think I’ll vote for Carolina’s entry.
