I openly admit to being easily amused. And easily distracted. Swing something shiny in front of my face and I…um. Yeah.
One of my favorite sources of amusement is getting packages in the mail, and writing this blog has opened up a whole plethora of cool deliveries! My children have a seriously warped sense of the US Mail and are personally acquainted with the UPS and FedEd delivery ladies. My son is also forming a friendship with the DHL driver who has been here a few times too. One day last week they had all been here!
Until Ed McMahon delivers me a big giant cardboard check, my best delivery has to be one I just got the other day. It combines my most favorite thing, getting a package in the mail, with my least favorite thing…STINKY stuff! More specifically, stinky diapers.
CHECK IT OUT:
Let’s all take a moment of silence out of respect for such a wonderful, beautiful creation……
Seriously. This thing was made for me. I have super nose, and I’m not just talking about it’s size (why does it seem to be growing?). I can smell the neighbors dirty diapers (well, their kids dirty diapers, not theirs…I hope) and am always complaining (who me?) about smells. There’s a reason this blog has the name it does!
I can’t wait to put this thing to the test. So far, so good, but we need to get a couple more of Abby’s “brings tears to your eyes” toxic waste diapers in there to know for sure.
Anyhow, where does the fame come in you are asking? Yes, I can read your mind.
Well, Playtex, the creator of my new best friend the Diaper Genie Elite II, has launched a new site called Baby Smells in order to introduce the new Diaper Genie. The site contains information about a baby’s sense of smell, what they can smell and how certain smells affect them. Baby Smells also contains a series of videos from 3 families who really know about smelly tales, and an opportunity to submit your own smelly tale.
That’s where my 5 minutes of fame comes in.
I was chosen as one of the judges. Ironically, it was the name “What’s That Smell?” that got their attention to begin with. To check out the contest (and see a picture of me) go here: Playtex Diaper Genie Smelly Tales Contest. I want to warn you that I had to take that picture myself because no one else was here but Jake and he couldn’t get my whole head in the picture (no comments Lori…). I didn’t intentionally have on my “what’s that smell?” face, but apparently I did….
NO MOCKING ALLOWED!








I tried to add my story there but it did not act like it saved it. Any ideas, oh great wise judge-like one?:)
That picture made me laugh!! I haven’t seen the stinky face in awhile, but it sure is you!!!!!
Jenn, I really like it so far!
I wish they had those when my kids were in diapers!
Lori, I’m a by the book, step by step, there is a right way and a wrong way person. I also hate taking things apart that were assembled incorrectly. My husband does not read the directions for anything and I usually end up having to pull it apart and re-do it!
Myra, yep and you can say that you knew me when! I like it so far. It’s all tall so no bending and I adore the foot flipper thing that you press to open the lid. Look ma, no hands!
Thanks Kelly, I’m really looking forward to hearing stories worse than my own!
Quit reading the directions! I’m losing respect for your Mad Mommy Skills. LOL
oh look! you’re famous! i’m a huge fan of the diaper genie!
lookin good! have fun with the judging!!! undoubtedly there will be no shortages of laughs while reading all the entries!
