Photo Caption Contest Over At Club Med Insider, Win a Graco Pack N Play, Dammit!

We're having a photo caption contest over at the home of Parentopia On Vacation. So head on over to Club Med Insider beginning June 2nd. You can enter as many times as you like between now and July 2nd.

The grand prize is a brand new Graco Pack N Play with Newborn Napper. The other prize is a signed copy of our book "Mommy Guilt" and along with it an hour of Family Vacation Consultation from us.

Essentially what this means is you get to have a 3-Way with us(We bet that got your attention. Didn't it?)OVER THE PHONE, AKA Conference call. We want to help you figure out any sort of vacation situation such as:

Tips to make sharing a room more enjoyable for your family and fart sharing less attractive to your children.

Flying, Driving or Riding the Rails: How to minimize crying, whining and tantruming in enclosed spaces. (no age limit, adults included.)

The In-Laws are coming! The In-Laws are coming! Avoiding Matricide and Patricide while away from home.

Of course this is a brief overview of possible issues, however we'll tailor your Hour of Power for what you need for your own family.

There are some conest rules, and they are explained over at Club Med, and yes you will have to register at the Insider, but we PROMISE you will NOT be spammed. They are very professional over there. Yo.

Happy 20th Pack N Play!

Wow! The Graco Pack 'n Play is 20 years old. It seems like it was the hottest new thing on the market when my oldest was born - Yes, I am old. However, since you are only as old as you feel (or act), I am happy to report the Pack 'n Play and I are still having fun.

I dug through a few pictures to see if I could find some of my own kids in their baby cage (and I mean that in the best way!) but alas, all I found was that my pictures still need to be organized! I found my daughter bouncing in her Graco jumper and my son in his Graco table chair on a camping trip but that was it. I'll keep looking though and get some pictures up here when I have a minute.

In the mean time, I am sure I'm not alone in saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you Graco for providing a portable play arena for our children." I know our Pack 'n Play has traveled across the country to provide a comfy and familiar place to sleep for our kids, has been put to great use in our own home as a safe little area to explore during play time, and has been shared with friends and relatives over the past 16 years.

So, party on Graco... you've earned it!
