Win a mamaRoo by 4moms!

One of the first things I loved about the mamaRoo infant seat was how compact it is. We live in a cozy apartment in Los Angeles with our two young children and dog, so having furniture that’s compact gets a thumbs up from me. Something else I love? The pop of seat color against the white base. I am a huge fan of color, and having baby gear that blends in with the styling of our home makes me happy.

The time I have each day to teach my children well, to love them, to cuddle them and play with them really is fleeting. I love the quote, “the days are long but the years are short” because it’s a beautiful reminder to embrace all that mamahood is.

I’m embracing these wild, short years by making lists of all we accomplish each week. Even on the most difficult of days I’m amazed at all the play and learning we do together. I’m not afraid to ask for help, and our mamaRoo is my modern day Mary Poppins. It features comforting rhythms that calm Natalie, the contrast/color fabric balls make her smile, and I love that I can change the speed or sound through the 4moms iPhone app. The only thing it’s missing is a spoonful of sugar for mama ;)

I’ll be honest, it’s easy-to-use baby gear like the mamaRoo that helps me fully engage with Maxwell, prep meals or paint my nails (wink). And I can easily move the mamaRoo to whatever room we’re playing in so we can include Natalie, too! (Or she can rest quietly in the other room if big brother is being too loud.)

  1. Usually some web surfing or a little sewing. We will see how it goes with baby # 3. I may just be happy to sit quietly for a minute.

  2. I love to watch an episode of Doctor Who or Gilmore Girls! Or take a nap, because our new couch is SUPER comfy.

  3. Honest to goodness I usually just enjoy the quiet time doing nothing or resting myself! I’m expecting my 3rd early May (my first girl) and I would love some new equipment as this one is getting an awful lot of hand me downs!

  4. I am due in March and fawn over the Mama Roo everytime I walk into the baby store. I think he would absolutely love it. And mama too :)

  5. Would love to win for my daughter who is expecting her first baby! She is an interior designer, blogger and scrapper, and nanny!

  6. I’ve already been eyeing this for our first baby, due in July, we also have a tiny house and need as much compact great as possible.

  7. would LOVE one of these! Second baby on the way and our oldest still won’t be two yet!! Thinking it will come in handy ;)

  8. My favorite way to unwind when my five week old is resting is to catch up on my favorite shows (Parenthood and Big Bang Theory) and drink a cup of HOT coffee รขหœโ€ขรฏยธยรขยยครฏยธยรฐลธโ„ขล’

  9. I am so glad you’re recommending the mamaroo because I have been interested in them for a long while and now that I am expecting my 2nd daughter in June it is definitely on my want list. lol. And I am STOKED that you recommend it for an apartment space. It’s just perfect . well fingers crossed for getting picked! =)
    have a beautiful day.

  10. How generous! I would love to win this – it’s on my registry for baby due in August! Would love to win this, thanks Maggie!

  11. I like to catch up on all my shows on DVR while nursing the baby, or filling out his memory book while he’s asleep

  12. Usually it’s a hot shower or settling down to an episode of whichever show were currently watching on Netflix. We just finished The Office :(

  13. We have one on the way… but I imagine I’ll enjoy some quiet reading or a long walk with baby in the stroller and my dog leading the way. (p.s. Ruby says hi to Bauer!)

  14. I’m due with our first baby this June! I’ve heard awesome things about the mamaRoo’s and would love for our little one to relax in one of them someday!

  15. Enjoying a cup of a cup of coffee that is actually still hot and reading a book or working on a craft project.

  16. Oh with a little luv on the way, I think making sure I spend some quality time with my lil man will be uber important to do… even if that means snuggles & nap time for us all! Wink.) Thank you for the super sweet chance, this is amazing!

  17. I love reading or catching up on a favorite show when I have a minute – anything that makes me laugh is the best! (Brooklyn Nine-Nine is my current favorite!)

  18. Sometimes it’s cleaning (even though it is a bit of work, having a clean home can be soooo restful for me!), and sometimes it’s something on Netflix, Pinterest or my Bible study – and on rare occasions, tweezing my brows or doing my nails :)

  19. Hello there! We recently had a baby boy in November to join his big brother. What fun! I haven’t be able to purchase an infant seat, so this would be just the thing!

  20. Unwinding can look different every day. Usually it’s showering or baking. Sometimes I really need to scrub the bathroom with the doors closed for some uninterrupted alone time, because who else wants to clean the toilets?!? Ha. Great giveaway and congrats on your precious baby girl.

  21. When the kids are resting, I love to eat my lunch! Sometimes it’s so refreshing to eat a meal without interruptions so I often wait until nap time to eat.

  22. Taking some time for myself (long shower or bath, reading, getting a pedicure, massage, or even my hair cut) is how I like to unwind! Browsing Target by myself also does the trick! We’re expecting baby #2 come May and currently have a 15 month old. I’m definitely taking note of how you have blossomed into this new role of mother of 2 close in age!

  23. I am expecting number three so i am usually napping right now but if I had energy I’d craft! :) These look awesome!

  24. I like to read or nap with baby. Sometimes it’s also nice to straighten up the house because I always feel more relaxed with less visual clutter!

  25. No sure yet what my favorite way to unwind when baby comes yet since he is due in April but with my 4 year old, it’s just sitting down relaxing with my feet up with a warm cup of tea.

  26. It always changes but lately I will make myself some lunch and watch a little bit of TV to relax while he naps. So nice to eat a hot meal without having to share with my 15 month old!! Although I’m 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2 so I’m thinking my days of going that are numbered….

  27. I wanted two of these with my twins, but they are a little on the pricey side, so I didn’t get them! Would love to win one for my next child!!!!

  28. What a fantastic spin on a bouncy seat – it is much more versatile and takes up much less space than all of the other gadgets! I’m sure you enjoy your free time :)

  29. I have absolutely loved the mamaroo since the first time I saw it, love at first site! Haha. I have that mom crush on anything that can help make parenting easier, baby comfortable and give me more time to help other siblings while still keeping an eye on the baby without her being in a whole other room snoozing. I would absoutley love this, it is the only baby gear I wish to add to our home. ((:

  30. My favorite thing do do with my son while he’s sleeping is lay down with him in outpr big bed (he’s not the best sleeper even now at 19 months) Sometimes I’ll read on my iPad, meditate, sketch a little bit, or just sleep. It’s been the one thing that restores us both and I love the cuddles we share. When we have #2 I probably won’t have that luxury anymore :( a mamaRoo would be awesome for this alone! Fingers crossed!

  31. I’m expecting my 3rd child this year and would LOVE a mamaRoo. My two kids currently nap/rest at the same time and I’m in the early stages of pregnancy so I most just crash during nap time. I’m trying to fold laundry today, I’ll probably collapse in it though!

  32. I always used to run around like a headless chicken, ticking off my to do list when my son napped! I soon realised that looking after myself and having some me time was much needed for my sanity! I love having a hot cup of tea, catching up on some guilty pleasure TV, paint my names or use a face mask! I little bit of TLC and I’m refreshed for him waking!!

  33. our baby is still on his or her way, but I suspect I’ll enjoy reading a book in my favorite chair with a candle lit!

  34. Love to have a little ME time either cleaning, catching up on DVR, or sewing!! Love this new style mama roo would LOVE one!

  35. I have a cup of coffee, put on my favorite christian radio station, and cook. Even if it only lasts 20 minutes, I feel like I had a little “me” time!

  36. this looks amazing. I have a 4 week old and I think she would love this. She really need something that is like being held.

  37. I would so love to win this mama roo as an expectant mom :) we’re so excited and this would definitely make life easier when baby arrives!!

  38. If both my kids are napping I like to take advantage of that and I nap too. If our baby is napping I like to spend time with our oldest and do anything she wants. Usually crafts, baking or painting nails.

  39. I like to catch up on all my taped shows! My baby has colic and only wants me all the time, to get a few minutes solo is a blessing! To win a swing that mimics my movement would be an even bigger blessing!

  40. I play with my other three children when my littlest love is resting!!!! They aren’t little forever and I don’t wanna miss a thing

  41. We have our first due this May & we live in a small house so the mamaroo would be perfect for us! Thanks for sharing this giveaway!

  42. I don’t have children yet but I’m sure I would love to read or do crafts! Congratulations on your beautiful family Maggie!

  43. I have watched so many videos about the mamaRoo and have friends who rave about this “swing”. Nap times are a life saver and I typically use them to work on my small business or read blogs! (Like now!) :)

  44. Such an awesome giveaway! I would love to win this for our second baby arriving in July! While our daughter is napping, I indulge in my favorite guilty tv show, General Hospital. Haha I know I know!

  45. I love catching up on my crafts or reading a good book. Or I’ll be honest- catching up on sleep. I have a 5 year old, a 3 year old & a 2 month old. :)

  46. My first babe is due in a month which is very exciting. I have heard many recommendations for the Mamaroo. I imagine I will be trying to take a nap in my spare time!

  47. well, our first baby isn’t born yet (he’s due in 3 days though — eeeep! ) but my current favorite way to relax is with a bath (paired with a bath bomb or some bubbles) and candles :)

  48. I do not have a baby yet but my husband and I are trying. I imagine I would sew or sleep when the baby is napping. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  49. We are expecting our first baby this summer and are so excited! We can’t wait for our little one to get here! I will enjoy sleeping when the baby is sleeping!

  50. When baby girl sleeps I like to sit close and watch, sometimes it’s hard not to pick her up and cuddle her! :)

  51. I’m expecting my first baby in just a few short months and would love to win this! When baby is resting i would like to catch up on reading a good book, catching up on blogs, or crocheting.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  52. Still waiting on baby, but from what t I gather, a shower will become a luxury so I’m thinking a hot shower will be a good way to unwind.

  53. I choose to spend that little bit of time watching trashy reality TV! I know it sounds horrible but we try not to have the TV on whatsoever when the little man is awake. Ironically this was recommended to me by my OBGYN and I have to admit I love the moments I can actually just lounge and watch nothing important on TV!

  54. Our second little one is due soon and I have been nervous about juggling the stay-at-home momma responsibilities with a newborn and a toddler. The MamaRoo would be perfect to allow adequate time to play with my son while comforting the baby, or wash dishes, or-maybe-even grab a quick shower.

    And Natalie looking up at those balls is just adorable!

  55. Since my littlest one is only a week old, sleep is at the top of my list, but filling up my two oldest’ love tank with snuggles is up on the list too!

  56. When (and lately if) my 2 yr old takes to nap I enjoy sewing or taking a nap myself as I am pregnant with #2. It would be nice to have something like the MamaRoo because I would never spend that much on myself or ask someone else to.

  57. I’m planning on buying one of these for our next baby (compactness is a gift to a full house!), and I’d love to win this one! While my baby is resting I nap (if I’m good) or I catch up on projects like my knitting or reading.

  58. When the kids are napping is when I try to get some of the cleaning done, or I’ll sneak in a little law and order! :)

  59. I am a first time mom due in April. I saw this yesterday in store for the first time and I LOVE the motion it makes!!!

  60. Ahhh I have been drooling over a Mamaroo since I found out I was expecting!! Thank you for an amazing opportunity Mama :) I am due in August & I know that this will help me to have a little mama time to craft & sew !

  61. I’m expecting my second little one in April so not sure I’ll be doing too much relaxing once he gets here since I have a 4 year old daughter as well. I’m sure I’ll try to sit on the couch and kick my feet with a nice warm cup of tea and a book to unwind when I get the chance.

  62. While the baby naps or rests I would be able to catch up on dishes, laundry, prep meals or snacks for the kiddos or play with the rest of the littles. I have a 4 year old and a 5 month old and do daycare. Starting next month I will add another baby (2 months old) to my mix of kiddos and something compact would be great to go along with the rest of the baby toys & high chairs ;)–Terra

  63. Our little guy is due in 3 weeks but I’m looking forward to sleeping when he sleeps since this big belly is already making sleep tough! :)

  64. I am expecting my first, but I can imagine that a nice shower, glass of wine or few minutes lounging on the couch catching up on some DVR’ed TV shows would do the trick.

  65. No baby yet! Expecting my first in April! Hoping a mamaRoo will do the trick and give the first time mom some time to relax!

  66. I’m going to be a first time mommy so I’m sure there will be lots for me to do while our sweet little one rests in the mamaRoo

  67. I’m patiently counting the days until our little nugget arrives (3 days!), but can already see myself using the mamaroo to snag a quick shower or make a meal!

  68. I love to paint, when possible, with a 10 week old, 3 year old and 4 year old those quiet times seem to come less often. ;)

  69. I have a 4 year old and due with my little guy in April!! The Mamaroo would totally be amazing for our family. I can play with my 4 yr old, clean the house, try a Pinterest project, and take a shower!!! Lol. Thanks for this awesome review!

  70. Thank you for hosting this giveaway. This would be amazing for my growing family. This would help handle a new baby and a little toddler running around !!

  71. Sit down with a good book and cup of hot tea! I only get to do this though if both of my older kiddos are also sleeping :)

  72. No baby yet, due in April. I got my sister in law a mama roo for my new nephew last summer and she says it’s the most amazing thing! Hoping our little man can have one too! I imagine putting him in there to get some cleaning done or makeup done getting ready for work. As for relaxing, drinking some coffee on the porch watching the birds while he naps sounds amazing!!

  73. Love the idea of the mamaRoo for baby #2 due in June! I love that you said it helps you fully engage with your little man, that is one of my concerns for my big brother to be!

  74. Love this! We live in a small apartment in Portland and are welcoming our first this summer! Reading this gives me a vote of confidence that we can raise our child in a small apartment, in the city! Heard so many great things about the momma roo and can’t hardly wait to try it out soon :)

  75. We’re expecting our first at the end of February. My favorite way to unwind will be catching up on my sleep!!

  76. My son usually needs me to rest with him. So, I usually end up napping or playing on my phone right next to him. :)

  77. I am new to your page and wow I’m loving it. So many inspiring ideas :)
    I’m so glad to hear you love mamaRoo and the convince of having it. I’m expecting my first in July. We too have a cozy place (townhome) and i was worried we wouldn’t have much room for many things. I am glad mamaRoo will be able to go with me in every room. I am so excited to meet my new best friend and be a mama ;)
    I look forward to visit your site often :)

  78. This is by far one of the cutest blogs I have seen! I like to take a mommy nap or shower when I have downtime from my kids. I swear just getting to shower by myself is a feat in itself!

  79. Love all the dreamy replies and I can think of a few as well, but at the moment, the main thing I think about is SLEEP.

  80. I’ve always loved to sew and did everything by hand, but for Christmas I got a beautiful sewing machine! If both girls are napping I like to take some time to sew! It’s relaxing, a creative outlet and I feel productive and proud when I’ve completed a project!

  81. My favorite way to unwind when my baby is resting is to get myself some hot chocolate and cookies,sit in my recliner and catch up on my missed tv shows on demand.

  82. When my baby naps it’s a quite time of joy for me. I love to nap with her if I get a chance or moms everyday duties always call รฐลธหœโ€ฐ

  83. I’m pregnant with my first baby!! The number one product the is an absolute must for me is a mamaroo. I’m obsessed with it and can’t wait to use it on my new baby! Winning one would be a dream!

  84. Sitting in ‘my chair’ while baby’s naps and catching up on TV shows I can no longer watch live, lol. That’s a great way to unwind and relax :)

  85. I love peeking inside your walls! I would also just love to gift this to my little sister & first time mom! รฐลธโ€™โ€”

  86. My baby is still baking in the oven, but I would love to unwind by reading or cooking – two therapeutic things I do now that I’m afraid will be put on the back burner when baby arrives.

  87. Hello!

    This is such an awesome giveaway! I am not a mom yet but I am Aunt to 8 nieces and nephews
    With one on the way!! I am trying to win this for my brother, my niece will be born in July! They don’t
    Have anything for the baby yet and this would be such a HUGE blessing for our family! They have two little boys as well and can relate to you on a small home. They have a two bedroom home so any space they can save is awesome!! I have been following this brand for a while now and have always been so intrigued! This is a great giveaway and we’d love the opportunity to experience the joys of these mamaroos! Miss Nyla Grace would love it!

    Thank you!

  88. Depending on the mood I’m in either rest and catch up on blogs or read a book or I clean a room in my house. Sounds silly but I feel so refreshed when at least something in the house gets done, even if it will be destroyed as soon as the littles awake.

  89. I am currently pregnant with my first, due May 5th. I love feeling our baby boy kicking and moving around in my belly.

  90. if my hubby isn’t at work, spending time with him is the best way to unwind…or catching up on social media ;)

  91. I am expecting a little girl at the end of May! We are so excited. We live in a very small house so organizing and small compact baby gear is key! The mamaroo seems perfect!!! I would love the opportunity to win this!

  92. Still waiting on the baby’s arrival, but right now I unwind by taking baths. I hope to continue that once the baby is here :)

  93. I would just LOVE to win. Found out we are expecting our first and could not be more thrilled and petrified!! รฐลธหœยรฐลธหœย

  94. We have a Rockaroo and I have to say tags it was the best thing from the get go. Readi great reviews about the product and customer service have us te go. Then it arrived! Easy to assemble and babies love it! Then saw that the mamaroo is on a whole ‘nother level of baby rockers. Would love it! We have one Rockaroo between our 3-week old twin boys and would love another but can’t afford it right now. Having multiples means buying multiples of alsmot EVERYTHING! For now, we stick to the necessities. This would be a great gift and huge help! I love it!!!!

  95. I would love one of these! my little one isn’t much of a sleeper so I don’t get time to do much of anything with him and my 3 year old unless their dad is home to help. I’d love to be able to sew some burp clothes and blankets for him if I had the chance!

  96. It seems like an amazing infant chair. Would love to win it so I can spend more time with his older brother instead of rocking my newborn 24/7.

  97. My little one doesn’t arrive until March but I would be over the moon to win this so I can spoil my baby and occasionally relax and take some time for myself!

  98. My twins aren’t here yet, but one of my favorite ways to unwind is a super-hot bath! It’s been one of the only things I’ve truly missed since I’ve been pregnant!! I think as soon as they’re born, I’m popping one in the mamaRoo, handing one to their daddy, grabbing a diet coke WITH caffeine and taking a looooong hotttttt bath!! :-)

  99. When my two older kiddos were little downtime meant something entirely different. Now as a mom who homeschools them both with another on the way this Spring, I have a feeling that having a safe an happy place to put their little brother while I shower will be my favorite form of downtime.

  100. I have 4 kids with one on the way in July. When my 18 month old goes down for a nap I usually play with my 4 yr old one on one. If I luck out and they are both down for a nap then it’s my nap time!

  101. Taking a shower and napping was my way to unwind with my first baby, I’m expecting number two so this time maybe different!

  102. My baby girl doesn’t arrive until April but with my son, I used to love having time to tidy up the house and if I had a little extra time, take an extra nap or catch up on my shows.

  103. No baby yet! I’m expecting our first in March, but I imagine the mamaRoo would make it easier to relax with a cup of coffee every now and then! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  104. It would be so great to have this mamaroo for my 2nd babe on the way! It will give me extra time to snuggle my 1st babe who will still be under 2 when the next one arrives!

  105. I would absolutely love to win this! I have a 2 year old and expecting my second lovely babe in August! When my first was a baby I would typically sit down and just enjoy the silence with a cold sparkling water in hand and a lime or lemon, also another fun thing I would do was crafts for upcoming baby showers, birthdays or holidays! I hope you pick me! It would truly be the most awesome gift ever!! Thank you! Much love!

  106. I try to read part of a book!…I was a HUGE reader before the baby was born so I try and squeeze a book in when I can now!

  107. As a first time mom who also works some from home this mamaRoo would be a lifesaver for my little family! I am so hoping to be able to get one and pass it along when the time comes to another lucky momma :)

  108. Favorite way to unwind is to read. It used to be cooking but now, I just love laying down and having some real downtime when the baby is napping.

  109. My favorite way to unwind while the little sleeps is drinking a hot cup of mothers milk tea with a drop of Fennel EO while watching HGTV and laughing at the huge pile if laundry that’s been waiting to be folded for two days. In fact, we started pulling clothes out of the pile and wearing them, wrinkled and all!

  110. My favorite thing to do to unwind is to sew. But unwinding usually looks like cleaning once all 5 of our littles are asleep. My newest won’t let me put her down so I’m crossing my fingers we win!

  111. I love to craft when my kids are asleep. With my third on the way, finding time for myself and with my Hubby is important. We love watching documentaries.

  112. I love just being able to sit down and hear myself think for a few minutes, followed by either a book or tv show!

  113. I love being able to sit down with a cup of coffee (hopefully it’s still warm!) and catch up on a recorded TV show.

  114. Definitely a long hot shower for me! I’ll stay in until the water is too cold to stand. Usually, right as I am getting super relaxed I hear “Mommy, why are you blocking all the water?” *BAM* Shower crashed by my four year old! Oh well, it’s the life of a momma!

  115. When baby is resting I do household chores, get ready for the day, and if I’m lucky check social media and blogs!

  116. We are expecting our first in 12 weeks so currently I enjoy unwinding with my husband – all electronics and other distractions set aside. Once baby arrives, I imagine Ill enjoy cooking/baking while baby rests.

  117. I have a 3 year old, 4 month old, and am pregnant with our third; so if both my kids take a nap at the same time my favorite way to unwind is to take a nap lol. I’m still in my first trimester and my 4 month old still wakes up in the middle of the night so I’m exhausted most days.

  118. I’m expecting my first baby in June, and I’d love this product! My husband and I first came across it while looking at baby products at Babies R Us and we fell in love with how easy it was to us.

  119. Ahh, the mamaroo would have been so helpful with our first. Looking to add one to our home this summer when baby #2 arrives. I’d love to be able to use the bathroom or shower with a crying baby.

  120. Im currently expecting my third biolรƒยณgical baby due in 4 weeks. What I like to do to unwind is watch a movie with my older children and my soon to be adopted little girl.

  121. My favourite way to unwind while my baby girl rests is to rest with her. There’s nothing better than snuggling up under a blanket and listening to her gentle breathing as she sleeps. Bliss. Failing that a long soak in the tub is always a welcome addition to any day!

  122. Having a 14 month old and a newborn, the mamaroo would be a lifesaver!
    My favorite way to unwind is laying in bed listening to my little one sleep, so peaceful!

  123. When my baby is resting, I take a nap! Moms of toddlers are just as sleep deprived as new moms in my opinion :) Would love a MamaRoo for baby number 2!

  124. I love to take a hot shower. Sense I am pregnant right now again it makes a huge difference to refresh me. But if I weren’t on restrictions it would be a run. I love to get out and enjoy a run!

  125. We are awaiting the arrival of a baby boy to join his 3 big sisters so I’m sure there won’t be a lot of down time for momma but I imagine him sleeping like a bug in a rug when sister allow him to.

  126. With my Husband deploying shortly after having our 3rd child I would LOVE to have a mamaroo when I need to have a little me time to catch up on shows! :)

  127. Our first little one is coming in April, but i have a feeling my favorite way to unwind will be when my husband watches her and i get a nice mani/pedi!

  128. Our first baby Owen isn’t quit here yet, April 30th he should be making an appearance!! So I’ll take some of these ladies advice on how to relax and unwind and put it in my pocket for April :) I have been researching the Mamaroo for months in preperation for baby and I think you said it best, a modern day Mary Poppins :)

  129. I try to catch up on chores around the house. It isn’t exactly winding down, but this baby does not want to be put down. It is the only way things will get done around here. I don’t need my husband complaining about a messy house.

  130. My baby boy isn’t here yet, but I bet I will love unwinding with a glass of wine, cozy blanket, and a good book!

  131. Finishing the laundry and crossing off work to dos is what I usually end up doing! (Of course) But I try to squeeze in a little shut eye or a cup of coffee with a book!

  132. I would love the mamaRoo! I’m a full time college student and stay at home mommy to a wild fun year and a half year old, it would be nice to have an extra set of hands with baby number 2!!

  133. Love your nursery decor and sweet children. Hoping to win a mamaRoo as we are expecting girl number 2 soon! It’ll definitely help when I’m running around and playing with my older daighter who will be 20 months :)

  134. I love your perspective on the use of MamaRoo… and having to get your nails painted. Lol But, seriously, they are a very useful tool. :) And, compact baby items are a big PLUS in my book!

  135. I like to unwind with some back bending and wall walks if I don’t have time for a nap. Best way to rejuvenate!

  136. My favorite way to unwind when my baby is resting is to take a hot bath and read a book. With two littles, this doesn’t happen very often!

  137. I try to watch an hour of TV with my husband while baby is sleeping, to feel like things are a bit normal and not just going from task to task. Sometimes we both make it the whole hour before falling asleep. And by sometimes, I mean rarely. ;-)

  138. I love mamaroo and I haven’t had a chance to try one out yet!! I’ve been trying to save for one whole preparing for my newborn that will be here in late March. I am a full time student and employee and I and so have a 4 year old at home that is always on the go! A mamaroo woukd be perfect for when I am cleaning, doing homework or spending time with her big brother.

  139. Just like you, I’m loving that the mamaRoo is a space saver. It would be the perfect fit for my city apartment! BTW, Maxwell’s shirt is adorable!

  140. With a 4 yr old, 2 yr old, and a one month old my hands are full the majority of the time. A mamaRoo would give me a little extra time to accomplish a few of things on my never ending to-do list.

  141. My favorite way to unwind during naptime is by drinking a cup of coffee and getting on the computer!

  142. sneaking out while my little guy naps and dad is home to go get a mani and pedi and enjoy a hot beverage.

  143. I love to unwind by reading a good book or taking a long shower/bubble bath. รฐลธหœล  I believe that this will be harder when baby number 2 gets here.

  144. This would have been a life saver with my first child, but with a second child even more so having the first child’s needs to fill as well!

  145. I love to take a long hot shower when my little is napping. However, a few minutes to myself is also lovely with just a cup off coffee in hand (:

  146. Due with my 3rd and this mama could use some extra help. My first two hated their swings and bouncer. Baby wearing seemed to be my only option. Hopefully this one is different and if I can use a mamaroo without a fuss,I’d be estatic! :)

  147. I love to just take a moment to sit and relax. Catch up on mom stuff or just do nothing for those rare moments you get during the day.

  148. Looks like you’ve mastered having two little ones : ) I’m still working on it at 6 weeks in with my 2 yr old as my big helper!

  149. I cannot say as of yet. He won’t be making his debut until march but it is very likely in the beginning my unwinding time which will be little to none i presume will be spent trying to sleep

  150. I absolutely would love one of these!!! First time mom, still getting the hang of the whole mommy thing and getting things done around the house would be way easier with the MamaRoo!!

  151. I grew up in Oceanside California; if I can steal a few minutes outside, in the sun, and paint my toe nails or read a book…Omgosh stop it…that’s bliss! I’m super protective about my baby’s skin and what they’re breathing. So during infancy there’s very little sun exposure and I give up on my nails almost completely (amongst other things, lol). IF I ever get to do my nails, it’s outside. And man do I love the warmth of the sun. :)

  152. Would love to win one of these for our new addition in June! Saw them in the store this weekend, and hubby even thought it was awesome!

  153. Would be ever so grateful to win!! Never won anything in my life! And these machines are a work of art and the babies love them! Pick me!

  154. My husband is obsessed with the mamaroo! Only 10 weeks left till our first little one arrives to finally take one for a spin!

  155. Thanks for a great giveaway! My favorite way to unwind is to have bรƒยฉbรƒยฉ A nap in his stroller bassinet and take him for a long walk, weather permitting. The winters are harsh and long here, so whenever the temperature allows it I enjoy getting some outdoor time and he loves the bumps from the snow and ice ;-)

  156. Guilty pleasure: catch up on my reality TV and Downton Abbey now that the season has started. My husband hates reality TV (rightly so), and so his wish is I only watch it while she’s asleep, so that’s what I do. :)

  157. Whenever I can get a break, I LOVE to catch up with my books or take a shower/bath ALONE. You have no idea how important those things are until you are watched by or attached to someone all hours, all the time.

  158. Trying to go back to school, but with my baby girl due in June I think I need a MamaRoo to occupy the little one when mama needs to do hw.

  159. Take a quick break with my newborn by drinking some coffee, but then it’s on to chores before my 2 year old wakes up too!

  160. I have the sweetest 18 month old son, and am expecting baby boy # 2 in a few weeks. This would be a lifesaver, and give me more time to help my first son with the transition. :)

  161. Favorite way to unwind, take a warm shower or just sit on the couch in silence. Would love a mamaroo! รขโ„ขยก

  162. My favorite way to unwind is a cup of green tea and a good book. Oh, not to many of those moments around here though :)

  163. I love to read. I love your idea of making a list of all you’ve accomplished. Sometimes as a Mom we feel like we’re not doing enough

  164. I have a newborn and a 2 year old and would love one of these so I don’t have to always put the baby down in a pack and play (so boring!) while I wrestle with the toddler.

  165. If I’m awake enough, I love to unwind and relax by reading a book. With a new baby, though, I’ve recently been deferring to watching tv.

  166. I love reading blogs about the MamaRoo! Every mom seems to really enjoy this product. The product has nothing but great reviews. Winning this product would be a life saver and ever mom wants the best for their baby and this item has got a lot of baby swings on the market beat!

  167. we are still waiting on our first LO, but my favorite way to unwind is to read a book or do crossword puzzles. :)

  168. My favourite way to unwind while baby is sleeping is to first grab a quick coffee and then re-energize with a quick workout.

  169. Well I would love to win one!! This will be my first :) I have heard nothing but good things about the mamaRoo :)

  170. When my little one is born in February, the free time to unwind will be me relaxing in my Jacuzzi tub with a good book and a glass off wine.

  171. Mama roo is probably the best thing ever!!! My little man likes to bounce up and down I don’t have a mama roo but have wanted one forever I talk about it all the time. So for now I’ll be the jumper so he is happy!!

  172. I have wanted one of these for so long but it’s never quite been in the budget. We’ve been very blessed and received hand me down things, like an older swing. So many of my friends have this though and swear by it. I’d love one for my baby (and hopefully future babies รฐลธหœล ) Love your blog!

  173. Ftm here, so not sure how I’ll unwind when baby’s resting, but I’m guessing I’ll sleep when he sleeps as much as possible!!

  174. I love how you took pictures of the Mamaroo in your home! I too live in a small apartment with my two little ones and hubby. The space is limited but this seems to not take up space at all :)

  175. My baby is high needs, so when he rests, it’s usually on me so I knit. In the rare chance I can put him down, I enjoy a nice warm shower.

  176. 3rd baby, and miracle baby, due in June. I would LOVE to have this for him since we don’t have a swing anymore.

  177. I’m due with number 2 in 6 weeks so when my 20 month old is napping, my favorite thing to do is sit down and get off my feet!!!!

  178. My favorite way to unwind while baby is napping is to go back into our bedroom and see a little, it’s my favorite hobby and Im normally making a little dress or bib for her but it’s what helps me get lost in the zone. I also enjoy a glass of wine while I’m at it :)

  179. OMG can this get any cuter? I thought the first design was pretty and quite functional, and I planned to get on for this baby. But now I’m reconsidering the new one regardless of price just because it having the app so I can change settings from my phone will come in handy on my busy days!

  180. I have heard great things about the Mamaroo, especially from medical professionals. I definitely think we need one for our small NY apt. We are expecting our first, a boy, in about 3 weeks. I’m not sure about how I’ll unwind while the little guy is relaxing, but I imagine I’ll be using that time to eat, brush my teeth, get some housework done, any little errands that I wouldn’t be able to do with him in my arms.

  181. Love learning different and new things and seeing things from others viewpoint and I would love to win a mamaRoo for my little one due at the end of April!!!

  182. my favorite way to unwind while my little one is resting is finishing household chores and then sitting on the couch watching my favorite show!

  183. Taking a shower then being able to drink my mother’s milk tea, is my favorite way to unwind while my baby boy sleeps.

  184. I keep hearing the most wonderful things about the mamaroo and cannot wait to get one for my little one’s nursery. My husband and I are awaiting the arrival of our first baby and, like most first time moms, I have anxiety out the wazoo wanting to get everything ready before he or she is here. I know it seems silly, but having the mamaroo would help put my mind at ease (at least a little bit) knowing I had a safe place for the baby to rest while I work on healing myself and keeping the house in order.

  185. I want a new mamaroo SOOO bad for me and my little newborn!! It would help us poor struggling college students so much! And I especially love the color of yours, so darling without being over the top! Love your blog!!!

  186. fav way to unwind when the stars align and my 3 week old twins and 4 year old are all sleeping…pumping (haha…to get comfortable), warm bubble bath, snuggling in bed while listening to my nighttime music of various lullabies through the baby monitors :)

  187. My favorite way to unwind when my little guy is asleep is an actual hot cup of coffee. I usually end up drinking cold coffee because after I pour a cup, I am running around trying to get everything done for my peanut and I forget about it, lol. Hot coffee is a total luxury!!!

  188. I would love a new MamaRoo for when my second little one arrives. I already have a 12 month old and would really love that extra help!

  189. Loving all the suggestions to unwind while baby’s asleep. I’m expecting my first in May :)
    I think once my little one arrives I’ll hopefully unwind with a good book while they’re napping

  190. I have heard such amazing things about the mamaroo, I really hope I get the chance to experience the calmness first hand!!!

  191. I am expecting my first baby and taking in all suggestions and advice from all other moms. I hope to win a MommaRoo so my first experience will be eased a little. Winning one would sadly be the only way I could get one.

  192. I don’t currently have a baby. We had an ectopic this summer and are TTC again now. (Going on 6 months) BUT, when my two children were babies, my favorite way to unwind was plopping down on the coach with a treat and catching up on tv or watching a movie with daddy. Still love doing this during naptime or after the kids are in bed!

  193. I like to knit or read a book while my son is sleeping. It’s hard to knit when he’s awake because he wants to grab my yarn just like a cat. :)

  194. I’ve heard such great things about the Mamaroo. I’m expecting my first in a couple months and would love to try this out for my little guy!

  195. The moment I came across the mamaRoo while creating our registry, I fell in love and my husband couldn’t stop playing with it! Haha I know the mamaRoo will be so very helpful as I start this new journey of motherhood (our son is due March 19!) It’s definitely a must have on my list!

  196. I am due in April and have been doing a lot of reading up on the mamaRoo and it just looks fantastic! We live in a tiny older home and are also looking for anything that will save us space!

  197. I like to take a long shower! And maybe a nap if I’m really lucky. I’d love a mamaroo for my six week old son!

  198. My 3rd baby is due is May. With the other 2 while they were resting I would pump extra breast milk I had. That took a lot of time! I also read or studied becasue I was still in nursing school at the time.

  199. The new mamaRoo looks fantastic! I’m so glad to read your glowing review on it. Our baby girl is due in May and I’m hoping to win her one so she can be rocking and swaying in style. :)

  200. Would love to be the proud owner of the new mamaRoo for my first born arriving next month. It would be a wonderful gift for the both of us, I’m sure.

  201. I would love to win a MamaRoo. I have a 4 year old and a new baby due in May. This would be a blessing to have, to comfort the baby so that I can still give my 4 year old some cuddle time. Also, my first baby loved the soothing motions of the swing and bouncer and those are long since gone :(

  202. With our first baby, we didn’t have enough money to buy any big things so we had to borrow from family. I’d heard such great things about the mamaRoo and wanted one so badly, but we couldn’t afford it, and with my husband still in school, we won’t be able to buy one for the next baby either. I could definitely use it too. My first is a rambunctious, active 14 month old and I would love to have a mamaRoo so I don’t have to constantly ignore her when I’m taking care of the new baby

  203. eat hot food while its hot and a cup of tea before its stone cold! then i clean like a nut. but i’d prefer to sew. or read! but with 2 littles thats pretty much a dream.

  204. LOL.. the first few months it seems more like that if baby is asleep so am I! If baby is asleep and I’m awake I’m not unwinding, I’m busy getting all the things done I couldn’t get done while holding baby!

  205. Since my husband is gone the majority of the time and isn’t home to help me out, my favorite way to unwind is getting some fresh air by strolling down to the nearby canal and helping my 3 year old feed the ducks. We do a lot of walking since I don’t have a car.

  206. this may sound crazy but I unwind by cleaning. I cannot fully relax with a clutter messy house and can only fully enjoy sitting and resting with a nice clean house to admire :) some days unwinding while he is resting turns into a nice hot shower!

  207. My favorite way to unwind is to sit down, enjoy a hot cup of tea with no sound. Hahaha that never happens! I have a 2 year old do there’s no unwinding but the Mamaroo would surely help.

  208. The new version of the mamaroo looks absolutly stunning! And to be able to control from your phone is a sure asset!

  209. My favorite way to unwind when baby is resting is either to nap every chance I get or to have a cup of coffee and catch up on some of my favorite shows.

  210. Hear such wonderful things about the mamaroo!! And I too love home compact it is. Hoping to get one for our first child due March 31st!!

  211. I would put my feet up, have a cold refreshing drink & snack, and maybe watch a movie, or catch up on some reading. Anything for a quiet time for me to recharge.

  212. I usually prefer to hold baby over anything else – he’s so comfy! My idea of “unwinding” when I do put him down is usually crafting, though! If I’m not holding baby – I’m making something for baby! :)

  213. When my baby is resting I always wind up looking at all the pictures I took of him with my phone! I can’t get enough of my little buddy.

  214. I’d love an adult-sized one that I can lounge in while hammering away at work emails …. but alas, I would happily accept one for my lil man ;-)

  215. Expecting baby number two in 5 weeks and I would love some hands free time to play with big brother while little sister is content and to be as productive as I can when I can get a break…and it’s so easy to move from room to room that’s a big plus for me!

  216. So excited for this giveaway. I’m having my second baby in July and have always wanted a mamaroo since the first baby two years ago. Yay! Fingers crossed!

  217. My favorite way to unwind is to take a nice hot bubble bath, ALONE. I have 5 children (9,6,2,1,2 weeks) so it’s very rare to be able to take a bath alone but when I get the chance, I LOVE it! I’m a stay at home mom so I am with my children 24/7. I cosleep as well so I don’t ever have any time to myself at all. That 20 minutes bath alone is like heaven! :)

  218. My favorite way to rewind is to take a bath!! And after catch up on all my tv shows!!i I have a busy toddler and with my next I’m going to need some extra help

  219. I’d love to have one of these mamaroos! Have heard only great things :)
    Your babies are so cute by the way!

  220. We too have a small condo (one bedroom) and are really hoping to get a Mamaroo to make sure we have enough space!!!

  221. I love hearing all the great things about the mamaRoo. It only makes me want one even more. I honestly think if I don’t win it, I’ll try and buy one :P

  222. I have set up a love seat and small tv in my son’s nursery so I will unwind by catching up on my recorded shows while he’s sleeping.

  223. I love Natalie’s nursery! We are due with our first at the end of April and would love to be able to win a MamaRoo! Thanks for providing the giveaway :)

  224. Babygirl has a hard time resting, but if I ever get that down time I would love to soak in a nice hot bath รขหœยบรฏยธย

  225. Favorite way to unwind is finishing all the cleaning and having a clean house until the kids all wake up again…

  226. My favorite way to unwind while my baby girl is sleeping is by taking a shower or getting a few chores around the house done.

  227. I love love LOVE the MamaRoo! I’d hoped to get one with my first child but I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll have one for the 2nd child because I know I’ll need it!

  228. My favorite way to unwind to a hot cup of tea and either a book, catch up on TV or favorite way….take a nap!

  229. I’m so excited to win this hopefully!! I will be a first time mom with no help and need all the help I can get!!

  230. My first 2 kids we had a swing, which they didn’t really enjoy so with baby on the way would love to win a mamaroo to have free hands every now & then!

  231. I Have been daydreaming about having the mamaroo, after all when I’m busy what is best, a clunky swing or the movements of a mama?

  232. My favorite way to unwind while baby is napping is to turn on one of the “Housewives” shows! Any city will do!! Very mindless and I can just relax :)

  233. Oh this is the best seat for babies, it is a dream come true chair, for moms and grandma’s and babies. Thanks Mamaroo.

  234. My favorite way to unwind when my little is asleep is to online window shop. I never buy anything but it is just a fun way to rehabilitate and pretend for a while!

  235. My favorite way to unwind while kids are napping is to “window” shop on the computer so many awesome baby things I wish I could have including a Mamaroo!!!

  236. My favorite way to unwind while my baby is sleeping is to cuddle right next to her. Is the best feeling ever!

  237. I love the fact that it is so small as well! We have a large clunky swing that my little guy doesn’t love so much. When you live in a “cozy” (aka small!) house, the small footprint of the mamaRoo would make a huge difference!

  238. Forgot to add, my favorite way to unwind is by taking a long shower or sitting with a cup of coffee and a good book :)

  239. I love to take a nice long shower. Then pamper myself by taking the time to apply lotion and if I can sneak in a new coat of polish, that’s awesome too! Something about a shower with no crying baby or nosey toddler is so refreshing. Haha ;)

  240. Baby #4 is due in a few weeks and having a Mamaroo would be such a help with the adjustment from 3 to 4. My son got to try one at a friend’s home when he was a baby and he just loved it. Thanks for doing the giveaway! :)

  241. I unwind by either taking a nap myself or enjoying a cup of warm coffee/tea while vegging out to a TV show!

  242. I’m expecting baby #1, so I don’t have a favorite way to unwind yet, but I know I want a mamaroo to give me some “Me” time.

  243. I’m due at the end of May so right now my favorite way to unwind is relaxing in bed or a bath with a good book. But my guess is the bubble bath will always be my go to! (And maybe a glass of moscato again too after baby is born! :-D

  244. My FAVORITE way to unwind while my number 2 is resting is to either rest and read with a cup of coffee or to keep my 5 year old occupied! Having one of these would help tremendously with both, especially if you can move it easily from room to room!

  245. My current way of unwinding is sitting outside on our patio and breathing in the crisp, fresh winter air. At least that’s the only thing that is currently really helping with my morning sickness. We just found out that we’re expecting our first, due September 4th. We’ve wanted to enter on the 4moms Facebook feed, but can’t without spilling the beans to all of our family & friends. At only 7 weeks, we’re just not ready to share the news yet. However, I have used mamaRoos in my business and in my hospital and absolutely LOVE them. I’d love to have one for my newest little peanut.

  246. Thank you for this awesome giveaway! My son would so love this and mommy would definitely appreciate it. This would give mommy some time to relax and spend with big sister!

  247. I would have to say give more attention to my toddler. We jump on the bed and play catch! Something we can’t do with baby

  248. favorite way to unwind is a cup of coffee from Starbucks, Biggby (whereever I dont have to make it haha) and a browse through my favorite antique shop, so glad I have a baby who seems to enjoy shopping!!! however if Im home, checking out pinterest and cup of joe from my Mr Coffee pot will do in a pinch.

  249. In a 115yr old house space is a premium and I’m obsessed with the mamaroo colors! Baby 2 is due in 6 weeks and I’m sure my little surprise would love a mamaroo since my 16 month old’s toys take up most of the space!!!

  250. My favorite way to unwind is spending a little extra time in the kitchen (my happy place) making meals for my family and the mamaRoo would help give me that extra time I need!

  251. my favorite way to unwind is to sit on the couch, put my feet up and get under a nice warm blanket and catch up on my DVR recordings :)

  252. With the mamaRoo I could give my pup some needed attention, as I know he’ll feel left out once baby arrives!!

  253. Favorite way to unwind would definitely be to just curl up in the bed and snooze myself. Seems there’s often too much to do to allow for that but that’s my fav.

  254. We are excepting our first child in July and have heard so many great things about the Mamaroo. We would love to have one!

  255. My favorite way to unwind when Caleb is resting is to snuggle up on the couch with my husband and watch Parenthood or Parks & Rec! :)

  256. Would love to win this giveaway so I can accomplish things while baby is taken care of in his mamaroo or get a little me time!!

  257. With three kids 4 & under I rarely have quiet time but when I can get them all to nap at the same time I’ll either do a few chores around the house or just relax with a book (depends on how the day goes). :)

  258. I’m pregnant with my third son and would love a mamaroo to help with all of the craziness. Since I have two boys, unwinding isn’t really an option much. Please, please, please pick me. Thanks!

  259. It would probably be just to sit down and relax with a cup of coffee (b/c we all know caffeine is essential) and catch up on my recorded TV shows!

  260. My favorite way to unwind is with a hot shower. Nothing perks me up more than being clean and a little relaxed.

  261. In answer to your question, I relax on the couch with a cup of tv and my DVR’d shows when my baby sleeps in the Mammaroo :)

  262. finding out the mamaRoo is also compact makes this even better! We too have a small space to squeeze in a toddler, two adults and four dogs! Our sweet baby to be could be in the thick of things without everyone else tripping over a big swing! I so want this!!!

  263. I Would Love It SoO I Can At Least Have
    Time To Clean My House and Have My Son
    Entertained while I’m Cleaning. :)

  264. As I am still waiting for my first little one to arrive, I can only attest to what my favorite way to unwind has been during the last few months. But I love heading to get a manicure/pedicure at the local spa or just finding a quiet place to read a book.

  265. i love to take a shower or a nap or a cup of coffee together w/ my fave dessert – any of these will definitely helps me unwind :)

  266. My favorite way to unwind is just setting by the window and watching the blue sky and birds fly by. The warmth of the sun on my face is calming.

  267. Oh my I’ve been pining over these. I would love, love, LOVE one of these for my first child coming this summer! รขยยครฏยธย

  268. Being able to actually finish a task I start or play with my daughter without a baby in one arm would be awesome! And I love all your color!

  269. I’m pregnant with my fifth child, and I’ve wanted one of these for ages! Plus, as a homeschooling mama, I know having a safe, fun place like the mamaroo to lay my baby girl will be a lifesaver!

  270. I love the nursery I’m expecting my first child and have been trying to score me one of these mamaRoo, haven’t succeeded yet but I’ll keep trying.

  271. I like to do yoga, read a book, or catch up on emails while my toddler (sometimes) naps. Not sure what I’m gonna do once this baby comes!

  272. My favorite way to unwind is sitting on the couch, watching a favorite show, eating a favorite snack, and chatting with my husband.

  273. I would love to have one of these for my first baby arriving in April so this mama to be can have some free hands.

  274. When my 7 week old takes her afternoon cat nap (it’s usually 45 minutes), I love nothing more than to run a super hot bath with oil…I light a candle, turn on light music, set the baby monitor next to me, get in and close my eyes. It’s my “me time”, I clear my mind and reflect on my day and all I accomplished (or didn’t! Let’s be honest! haha) and what else I need to do that day. Seriously, besides the smell of a newborn, there’s nothing else that tops a hot bath mid-day. Eeeeeek!

  275. I would LOVE the chance to try the mamaRoo. I have baby #2 coming soon and it would really help in keeping a bit of peace for a newborn while my two year old is off exploring his world.

  276. I like to unwind by sometimes taking a nap right beside my baby, catch up on my shows on Netflix, paint my toes, read my magazines, go online shopping, or tidying up a bit with the help of a small cup of coffee!

  277. With four kids under 6 i would love to own a mamaroo so I can put someone down while i have a quick shower. Or drink a HOT cup of coffee. ;) thanks for the opportunity!

  278. The way I unwind is cozying up to my hubby and putting on one of our shows on tv! :) we would love a mamaroo!! :)

  279. Would love to win a mamaroo for Baby#2 due in june, I know it will be a life saver with having 2 kids!!! Thanks for the great giveaway and cute blog!!!

  280. Would love one for baby girl number 2 in March. Need a mommy sidekick specially with 18 month old toddler needing the attention as well.

  281. My favorite way to unwind is getting to shower and do my hair (and getting to do my hair is very rare these days with 2 kids haha) and I love getting to read to my older baby when our little newborn is napping :)

  282. I love to catch up on odd jobs and tidying up while the baby catches a few “Z’s” in her mamaRoo….makes me feel good to get things accomplished

  283. Currently my son, who was born in November, refuses to leave my arms. Having a mamaRoo would sure give me a break! Haha!

  284. I’m a first time momma & I’m due the beginning of March. I adore your blog & would absolutely love love to win this!

  285. Well I don’t have a baby yet, but one is on the way! Hoping I can get some time to unwind while my baby rests in a new mamaRoo!

  286. I need to get two of these since I’m havin twins in June.
    I would love to be able to play with my 2 year old or just use the washroom alone

  287. I would so love to have one of these. I, too, have small room sizes in my old, beautiful home. I have had these on my “If I ever had another…” list for YEARS, and now the time has come!

  288. Since I have twins, unwinding seems almost impossible! When I do have a chance though, I love to get wrapped up in a good book!

  289. when my little one is resting and actually lets me put her down I try to get laundry done, take a shower, and go to the bathroom by myself รฐลธหœโ‚ฌ

  290. My first is due in March and all my friends say it is a must have. This looks like an amazing product.

  291. Sitting down with my coffee early in the morning when everyone is still asleep and it’s quiet :)

  292. It be nice to have a mamaroo for my 7 week old baby girl. I’d be able to keep a close eye on her. Heard so many great things about it. My 6 year old and 4 year old are always trying to pick her up. Trying to get things done around the house is harder. putting her down means she’ll cry as soon as she realizes she’s not in my arms

  293. Expecting baby #1 any day now, baby and I rest together and have conversations about all sorts of things. We can’t wait to meet baby, and join the coveted “new parents” club. Then, we will find all sorts of ways to rest, at the same time being in awe of the life we have created.

  294. Taking a shower and putting fresh clothes on OR sitting down and reading a book or a celebrity gossip magazine.

  295. I go take a shower and relax but of course I have to have him there in the bathroom with me in his bouncy seat,

  296. LO isn’t here yet, but a hot shower always makes me feel better so I’m guessing a hot bath or shower would still be a great way to unwind!

  297. Our first LO was just born and my favorite quiet moments are spent taking a bubble bath!
    PS we named our son Maxwell so I am glad I found your blog!

  298. I like to just sit on the couch, with the tablet in front of me and look at babygear even if i dont need it!! The dream of another baby is there !!

  299. Well I’m still pregnant with our first child, a son, so my favorite thing is to lay down and play 80’s rock to my belly and he loves it!

  300. Firstly i run around for 10 minutes like a crazy woman cleaning tiding etc, then i grab a drink and something to read but usually i don’t read i fall asleep in the chair, or somedays i just sit and watch bub sleep its amazing to think i well with some help produced him, I wonder if I will be the same when i have another

  301. I would love to win a MamaRoo for your compact condo we are in it’ll save us so much space! They are so modern and fit in with all decor not to mention the motions are amazing and help out a lot as an extra hand!!

  302. My favorite way to unwind is a long hot shower or bath. (hopefully not with any of the older kids interrupting!)

  303. My first baby is due this July and although I can’t say from experience, I know one thing resonated with me from your post- fitting little things in that I take for granted (like painting my nails!). Hopefully I will have a mamaRoo, be able to give my arms a break, and take a moment to regroup and ..i hate to say it… watch reality tv. it’s my guilty pleasure and i’m not afraid to admit it….

  304. I unwind by stuffing my cloth diapers, drinking a cup of coffee, and watching a show I’ve long forgotten about!!

  305. My daughter-in-law is going to really need a mamaRoo to soothe one baby while she is busy with the other. She’s expecting twins!! A mamaRoo is #1 on her wish list!!

  306. I hope that when my daughter has her first child in March that she uses her time wisely and naps when her baby naps, and of course she could sure use the mamaRoo to do that! :)

  307. Their are many things that I would like to do when my baby is resting. The first thing would be cleaning my house. We all know that it’s never easy to clean when your holding a newborn in your arms. Always needing to do laundry, dishes, wash bottles, etc.
    Another thing I would like to do when my baby is resting is take a shower. Seems like I always want to shower but rarely get a free minute to do it. I have a newborn & a 4 year old & my husband works all the time so I always have my hands full.

    Hoping to win a mamaRoo for my baby boy. รขยยครฏยธยรฐลธโ€˜ยถรฐลธยยผ

  308. When my little finally decides to take his nap I like to eat and just sit on the couch and listen to the glorious silence.

  309. after my little ones go to sleep I love browsing online while eating chocolate ice cream…and it’s about that time now. Lol your little one is precious!

  310. i would love this in order to cook a meal at night while baby is entertained or to take a longer shower then I normally do.

  311. When I’m not pregnant a glass of wine and pinterest/catching up on my DVR’d shows. But expecting baby number two I settle for hot chocolate and pinterest/catching up on my DVR’d shows :)

  312. As the mom of four, expecting #5 after a fun day with my kiddos I enjoy nothing more than silence and a hot bath!

  313. well baby doesnt arrive until june 13! But I would imagine either spending time with my hubby, catching up with my friends on the phone or hanging out with the furbabies..

  314. When I have my baby this summer, I’m sure I’m going to enjoy relaxing on the couch and snuggling with my little Yorkie.

  315. I always plan on getting so much done while my baby boy rests, but honestly, sometimes I like to just lay next to him and take it all in. Notice everything, watch him sleep. I try to remember that I’ll never get that moment back and even though having a messy house drives me nuts, I’ll take the snuggles any day. Thanks for the chance to win!

  316. Thank you for this giveaway! I hope that when my baby arrives, I will be able to do homework for school while using the mamaroo. It will allow me to shower, I hope…

  317. I have 3 kids 1 with special needs so when my 6 yr old is at therapy and my 3 yr old is as pre-k and my baby is sleeping love to just read some magazines! That for me is peace!

  318. Not a momma quite yet but I love to wind down by taking a hot shower and then napping on the couch! This would be amazing to win! And thanks for sharing the giveaway and the nursery!

  319. The mamaroo looks so cozy I wish they made one for adults!!! However, I will settle to win one for our baby boy due in March. I know that a mamaroo is a must have for all moms. So I can’t wait to get my hands on one. I know it will be life a little easier in times of need!! :)

  320. I like to sit on the couch and read a book to my two year old. It’s the nice one on one time with that I cherish with him while his new baby brother is finally calm.

  321. As long as all the house work is done I will take a nice long bubble bath with candles and maybe a glass of wine. The wine is only at night when she’s down for the night. Thank you for giving us so many chances to win one of these !!

  322. I’d love to set this right next to the tub so I could soak for a few minutes but still watch LO!

  323. While baby sleeps, I take a shower and read a book. Not at the same time and not necessarily in that order.

  324. If the baby is down for the night, then it’s a good book and a glass of wine for me! Or movie night with the hubs. :)

  325. My favorite way to unwind when baby is resting is doing a load of laundry, taking a shower, and resting my self too!!

  326. My favorite way to unwind while baby is resting is to do some craft with my 4 and 5 yr old. I feel like I am being productive, making memories, being creative, nurturing minds, giggling…… all is good.

  327. I’m not sure yet how I would unwind because I am pregnant with my first baby! I have heard nothing but good things about 4moms and the mamaroo. It is definitely something I hope to get for both me and my baby to enjoy!!

  328. There’s nothing better than a nice warm bubble bath with scented candles and a glass of wine while reading a book. The bad thing is I’m usually so tired that I end up falling asleep with her. Lol I’ve managed to this only 3 times in 3 months. :)

  329. My favorite way to unwind when my little ones are asleep is to take a nice, warm shower, curl up on the couch and catch up on my TV shows on On Demand!!

  330. I will love to get this for my baby girl due on May 12. My favorite way to unwind will be taking a nap and spending time with my other daughter who is 4 years old.

  331. Having a Mamaroo can make recovering from a complicated birth so much easier! What an amazing product!! Mamas need rest too!

  332. My first baby isn’t due until June, but I’m spending all of my down time planning for the arrival! I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about the mamaroo from all of my friends that recently had kids.

  333. I would most definitely have a quick shower, and nap while my 2nd baby due in two weeks bounces and sways in the mamaroo :)

  334. A mamaroo would be something that you could trust to rock your little one for some mommy time. For example a shower!!!!

  335. i would love to win one of these! My daughter screams when I put her down so I haven’t had much one on one time with my soon to be 3 year old son. It breaks my heart, especially when he begs me to play with him!

  336. I am pregnant with my first, so I’m not sure about my favorite way to unwind yet…but now I curl up with my softest blanket and a glass of water or coffee or juice in the corner of our couch with a tv show or a book or my laptop to write.

  337. I am pregnant with baby 4 and would love to win. Thank you forbthe opportunity รขยยครฏยธย

  338. Right now I am pregnant with my second and my first is going through a sleep regression so I am exhausted!! When she does finally lay down and take a nap, so do I. Definitely in zombie mode most of the time though.

  339. when baby is sleeping, I take advantage and grab a hot shower or enjoy a cup of french vanilla coffee and an episode of gossip girl!

  340. We have 10 of our own children and now we are a Safe Family through
    Bethany Christian Services and we now have a 6 month old and a 2 year old for the
    Next six weeks while their Mom gets back on her feet.
    Then when there is another need for a home for a baby we will get called again!
    The Mamaroo would be a great help to us for a great cause!!

  341. I have two boys, 6 and 8, with another due in April! I am not sure how much unwinding I’ll be doing, but if I get a few minutes to myself I’ll probably do something crafty. :o)

  342. Love reading your blog and following you on Instagram. This would be a perfect addition to our home. I’mI’m sure my newest little man would just love it.

  343. Have heard so many great things about the mamaRoo, and nice to know you approve of it too!! I am pregnant with my second (due March 23rd!) – a girl! :) – and would absolutely love to win one of these. I need ways to soothe and entertain the new babe so my hands are free… I have a rambunctious 2-year-old and also run a small business in my spare time… so this would be invaluable!!! XOXO

  344. My little one isn’t expected to arrive until March but I plan on unwinding by taking bubble baths and having quite time with myself and maybe my husband.

  345. Soaking up every precious and fleeting moment I can snuggling with my newborn when my 19 month old is napping & down for the night!

  346. As a mom-to-be (a beautiful 15 weeks into the journey) – I have NO idea what this wonderful adventure has in store for me and my husband. But I am pretty sure that the two of us will enjoy unwinding by watching some Netflix cuddled on the couch while our baby-to-be sleeps! I’m just over the moon with this whole new chapter in our lives!!

  347. Oh, I would love to win one of these for the sweet surrogate baby I’m carrying. I know her mom hasn’t purchased anything like a swing yet and this would be so great for her!

  348. I just had my third baby and could sooo use this! My sister will be having a baby later this year and i can then share the mama roo love with her!!!

  349. Wow it seems like just yesterday you were excited about your trip to Tanzania and now you’ve got two lovely littles. Two! I love how you make such excellent use of and beautify your space. Anything that helps you do that with kiddos gets an A+ in my book!

  350. I will be in graduate school when my lil miss will be here, so unwinding will be a huge challenge for me, but if I had this swing, it will at least make it possible for me..lol. I just cant wait :-)

  351. My favorite way to relax while baby is sleeping is taking a shower or snuggling on the couch with a nice cup of coffee and a great tv show!

  352. My favorite way to relax while baby is sleeping is taking a shower or snuggling on the couch with a nice cup of coffee and a great tv show! There is nothing better than sweet moments to pray or laugh!!

  353. This would be awesome for our little one on the way. We have a 2 year old now and it would help me spend my time with both of them.

  354. When my first was a baby I loved to unwind by catching up on a favorite show while having a cup of coffee :) Now that I’m due this summer with our 2nd I am sure I will be unwinding a bit differently…probably by giving some much deserved one on one time to my big boy :) I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE FOR THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY!

  355. Right now I am pregnant with my third, so when my two girls are resting, I am taking a nap! So incredibly exhausted this time around!

  356. Cleaning, though most don’t consider this unwinding I find it very relaxing to be in a clean environment, and so I consider it relaxing our environment a clean one. Especially considering how fast everything gets so dirty.

  357. I like to read a good book or get absorbed in Friends on Netflix while baby is napping. Going to be a mommy of two in September, so nap time I will probably nap too!

  358. I’m pregnant with #3, so there isn’t much time to relax. I like to read, play on facebook, and sip a coffee. Thanks for the giveaway!

  359. Pregnant with #2. In the rare case my toddler naps, I will shower, catch up on my DVR, or now while pregnant just take a nap myself!

  360. Having some alone time with my 3 1/2 year old son. He is such a good big brother and being a single mom leaves not much free time for us to be alone besides bedtime

  361. In the winter I like to cozy up with a warm drink – hot cocoa, apple cider or tea. During the summer, a nice cool drink, maybe a low alcohol margarita.

  362. I would love to have one of these for my little one as I am a working mother of 4. It would help my unfortunate situation of not having enough hands! ;-) Thank you for this chance!
