Bedtime for Mommy *Giveaway*

Posted by Caryn Bailey 42 Comments

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by!  The winners are Susan, Some Lucky Dog, and Stephanie V.  Congrats!

Every night our routine is the same. After dinner, my son takes a bath, brushes his teeth, and we read him a book.  In the event that we get home late or our schedule is a bit off, my son immediately lets us know.  He depends on that routine.

Books are important part of our day, particularly during the evenings when we get home.  We recently received Bedtime for Mommy, a story that puts a unique twist on traditional bedtime routines.  Here is a brief summary of the book:

What if the (bedside) tables were turned and the kids put the parents to bed?

What if Mommy was the one asking . . .

. . . to stay up five more minutes?

. . . for help laying out tomorrow’s outfit.

. . . for just one more story, please!

Told with her trademark gentle humor, bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal creates a charming, playful, and totally unforgettable role-reversal tale.

With adorable childlike artwork and irony that only a parent can truly appreciate, Amy Krouse Rosenthal creates a story that we’ll be reading for years.  It’s adorably funny and helps ease the tension and struggles that often surround bedtime.  I strive to make bedtime peaceful and enjoyable rather than tense and stressful.  A story is always a great way to relax into my son’s bedtime routine and this is one that brought smiles to his face.  And I think that if he asks me to read it “one more time,” I won’t protest.

Right now, you can send in a photo of your child reading to you for a chance to win a bedtime story phone call from Amy Krouse Rosenthal along with a bedtime basket of goodies (cocoa, cookies and more!) from Dylan’s Candy Bar and a selection of read-aloud favorites from Bloomsbury. Three winners will be selected at random by the author from entries received between April 15, 2010 and October 31, 2010. Be sure to email your photo to [email protected], with the subject line “Bedtime for Mommy Contest”, along with your contact information.

Win It! I have 3 copies of Bedtime for Mommy to give away.  Simply leave me a comment with you and your children’s bedtime routine. Comments will close on July 28, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn. Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.

Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each additional entry.

    Our bedtime routine is pretty boring. At 7:30 play time ends and we all get ready for bed and brush teeth. By 8:00 the big boys are in bed and my husband and I go to bed with our two year old.

    We love to read before bed, then we say prayers and I sing to the girls while my hubby sings to my son.

    For the kids it is dinner, a little bit of wind-down time, bath time, brush teeth, read 2-4 books depending on the lateness of the hour, snuggle time, and off to dream land.

    Our planned bedtime routine for our 2-year-old daughter: bath, books, bed
    What actually happens: bath, running around like a crazy person, fighting bedtime forever, finally passing out much later than she is supposed to!

    My Little Bit is six months old so his routine is fairly simple. We start winding down when Daddy gets home from work. He plays with Daddy for a bit. Then plays in his jump a roo. He nurses then Daddy puts him to bed in his lambie swing. Yep he still sleeps in his swing O.o but we are working on it…

    At bedtime my grandson gets his pajamas on, brushes his teeth using a 2-minute timer and then he reads a story to us (he’s 7)!

    Our routine is read (devotion), brush teeth, then bed. Many times I’ll sing them a song that I made up for them when they’re all tucked in 🙂
