It's official. This is as close as I'm going to get to that coveted second set of hands these days ...
(and I AM warming to baby wearing but I can't wear a baby in the shower and I'm terrible at wearing and eating as evidenced by the glob of ketchup that had been residing in Phoebe's locks until this morning when she enjoyed/screamed through her first bath)
I would imagine if you have kids you've probably heard of the amazing 4moms brand? Hopefully you have. They make some pretty incredible products. I've already talked about how much we love the Breeze for Bash. It's a little bit bigger than the traditional portacrib and handles his rough housing (crib found across the room after his nap ... always) beautifully. I'd read a handful of rave reviews on the rockaRoo and have had it sitting in the basement since January and I could not not not wait to hear what little Phoebe had to say about it ...
... and she said nothing. And at her age that is the best thing to say because sometimes silence is music to a mom's ears. {Unless it has to do with a one Sebastian Patton ... then it's a scratched compact disc of horror music ... guarant.}
I'm still learning how to juggle the varying needs of the four kids while trying to establish some sort of loose daily routine and I can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to have any sort of help with Phoebe. She is a big fan of the lowest setting (there are five speeds) of the rocking motion and I am a big fan of the lowest setting because it has a knack for rocking her to sleep after she's been fed.
That's great, Grace! But what's the difference between the rockaRoo and ye old traditional swing? Good question.
I'll tell you.
Here. It rocks like a rocking horse and "increases the distance from the pivot point and creates more motion at the baby's head - which is where it counts."
"interesting", she says through a yawn.
But really. Would I go so far as to say that this is an essential? Of course not ... but I can tell you that things around here would be a lot more harried and frazzled and dirty diapers would be hitting the fan left and right ... if I wasn't able to count on my bff+e the rockaRoo. So to me ... in this stage of life ... it totally is.
You know you want one. If not for yourself for your friend that's about to pop. Right? Right.
She dares you.
Here we go with the Rafflecoptering ... may the very best human win.
And many, many thanks to 4moms for their generosity and for saving my sanity on the daily. I've had the great pleasure of working with a lot of different brands and companies and I have to say that 4moms has been top TOP notch to work with!

Definitely the swing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, our first baby swing would rock either side to side or front to back. My kids liked swinging both ways and it was a lifesaver at naptime. This would take up much less room and be more portable (I think).
ReplyDeleteOoh me please! We managed our first without a bouncy seat but we have a toddler and a baby on the way and I think I'm going to need it more this time. :)
ReplyDeleteWould love this swing for a friend!
ReplyDelete(And the Breeze looks ahhh-mazing too.)
ReplyDeleteumm..is there anything that wouldn't be amazing to have? The stroller, crib, and rockaroo all look like amazing products!
ReplyDeleteThe RockaRoo, for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI would love this for my little one due any day now!
ReplyDeleteI think as more children come along, things that were once frivolous become essential... at least that's how it works here!! These look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've heard awesome things about the RockARoo and the Breeze (esp. for traveling!).
ReplyDeleteA close friend from tummy time/all my life just had her first tiny human. They would love this!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Rockaroo! I have my fourth due in October and all of my previous swings are broken and gone! Need a new one!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the breeze!
ReplyDeleteWhile I do plan on purchasing the breeze when we have a second I just love the rockaroo. One of my friends has one, and I would slip my little man into it every time I visited.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI was gifted with one when our second was born two years ago and cried when he outgrew it - we LOVED the mamaRoo (the rockaRoo wasn't available yet)!! I'd love to win one for my best bud who just had twins, bringing the count up to a total of 4 little peeps.
ReplyDeleteWant!
ReplyDeleteWe are currently barrowing one and I love it! Such a space saver!
ReplyDeleteI want the breeze!!
ReplyDeleteI want one of these so bad but I'm too scared to register for one because they are a big pricier than other swings. Perhaps you could pull a few strings and help a girl out? ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a swing since baby #2 due to space issues. But "swings" come in smaller packages now. This would be great to have in the house with baby #7 due this month!
ReplyDeleteDue in September! Would love the rockaroo or mamaroo!
ReplyDeleteWe're about to have #3 mid-June, and the Rockaroo sounds A.MAZ.ING. We're also traveling a bit in August (a flight with three by myself won't kill me...right? Right??) so a Breeze would be fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo for sure! Oh man that would be sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe were legit drooling over the rocka roo -- and definitely labeling it a want -- but I'm sure my lil guy would love it. And given our skill at birthing spitters who like to moving sleep, I hope it would come in handy more en el futuro tambien. :)
ReplyDeleteWould be great to win this swing for my baby due in July! :)
ReplyDeleteDue in December with baby #1! I'd kill for a rockaroo or mamaroo!
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo sounds amazing!!! Would love it!!
ReplyDeleteThe mamaroo for sure! I cannot even tell you how excited I am about this giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI'm due in 5 weeks and would love one!
ReplyDeleteThe mamaroo is really amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo sounds amazing! Would love one for whenever we have #3-we borrowed a swing with Grace and the one we had for Sophie was for older babies... she would just flop over when we put her in it.
ReplyDeleteSo need one!
ReplyDeleteAnd I tweeted! ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI need this!! I mean, future baby needs this
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo!!I would love to have one! We have the mamaroo, but only one...and we just had two babies. So adding a rockaroo would be amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWell.. The origami.. But who can afford that!?
ReplyDeleteFacebook post complete!
ReplyDeleteShared on my facebook timeline too. I don't mess around ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like the mamaRoo the best. Baby is due in August, guess it doesn't matter what I'd like, will have to ask him!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely that swing! I love the difference between that and a traditional swing!
ReplyDeleteI've heard such great things about the mammaroi
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This looks like my favorite product. I'm due with number 3 here this summer, and my trusty swing got leant to a friend who forgot to return it before they moved across the country. I'm sad.
ReplyDeleteThe breeze!
ReplyDeleteI'm due in August with my second and this has been on my wish list since I first found out I was pregnant!
ReplyDeleteThe momaroo looks nifty!
ReplyDeleteThe Rockaroo looks awesome! I'd love one for my little one due this Fall!
ReplyDeleteThe MamaRoo! Perfect for my friend who is expecting!
ReplyDeleteLove that it looks as good as it works!
ReplyDeleteI've heard too many good things about the mamaroo.
ReplyDeleteI hate gadgets. I'm due with my first, so experienced mothers scoff and tell me I will eat those words. ("Judge away but you will do anything to make a child stop crying," they laugh.) The thought of adding a swing to the list of the many gadgets that people say will save my life *pains* me. So this space-efficient Rockaroo concept? Amaaaazing.
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about the mamaroo. However, have never heard about the rockaroo. I'd love to try the rockaroo! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy son is 5 weeks old and would love one of these :)
ReplyDeleteI have been obsessing over the rockaroo since a friend sang it's praises! I love the breeze too & it would be great for tent camping!
ReplyDeleteLOVE our mamaroo! Sved my life with our fourth. But, now I need one for my sister with her first. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Rockaroo!
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo looks great :)

ReplyDeleteOooh... Mamaroo or Rockaroo... I would love a new swing/bouncer type item such as these for #3! The old ones are getting gross.
ReplyDeletePS Shared on Facebook
DeleteLove the mamaRoo!
ReplyDeletewould love the swing for our #3!
ReplyDeleteDue in June would love this
ReplyDeleteGrace, I think I entered! At least tried to while feeding my 1 year old and helping my 3 year old get dressed, lol. This would be absolutely a life saver for baby #3 expected soon:)
ReplyDeleteI got the gray colored one and you are making wish I had gotten the colored one!!! Can't wait to use mine in a week or so (I'm 39 weeks today!!) But would it hurt to have another one? Why of course not!
ReplyDeletexo jess

Oooh, i've been wanting one of these!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to meet my second daughter in June and have been dreaming of owning one if these since I first found out about them! Please oh please let this be my lucky day!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be so fantastic. I'm due with our 4th in August and would love this!
ReplyDeleteMamaroo!!!! Babe #3, appearing this August, told me so!
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo looks awesome! I have a hand-me-jiggle chair, but so not as awesome.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes! I am due in September and suspect I will be all about things that make babies happy, especially if my back continues to be a problem. (Currently, carrying a 10 month old baby throws it out like no ones business. ugh) Yay giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI wan the Mamaroo or the Rockaroo! I have the Breeze and love it so far-but I haven't had the baby yet. We're moving two weeks after my due date (batshit crazy, yes?) so I deemed that one an essential for convenience!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteyes! This looks amazing!!
ReplyDeletemy favorite is the origami stroller :)
DeleteBaby#4 is coming must win this!!
ReplyDeleteI was desperate for one of these with my first! He wouldn't sleep anywhere but a swing (even at night), until one morning the motor broke and I cried tears of blood. Or something. He continued to sleep in the (non-working) swing until nearly 8 months, when the sad thing was matted and dirty and practically buckling from the weight of my hulk-child. We are trying for baby number two right now, and so what I'm saying is, he/she maybe deserves something better than the broken swing of doom being stored in the basement? Yes. Definitely yes.

ReplyDeleteThe origami stroller looks cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the Origami stroller. I would absolutely love the RockaRoo for baby #2. We don't have any space to set up my daughter's giant hand me down swing, this is the perfect size for our tiny living room:)
ReplyDeleteMamaroo and rockaroo both look great!!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting one of these since my first turned one, when he didn't need it anymore- go figure! Needless to say I was a wee bit bummed that I didn't discover it while he was in utero. Even though a new baby didn't work out for this year, here's hoping I'll get preggo again soon and be able to have one of these awesome handmaidens :)
ReplyDeleteMy baby is six months old but heck I still want one! My husband is finishing his second year of med school so I love reading about your crazy life, though it does make me panic about residency! We have three kids and I was wondering where you got your three seat jogger. It doesn't look like that company makes them anymore. Maybe I'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteMamaroo!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently 20 weeks pregnant with #2. I really wish I had one of these for #1! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to give this to my friend who just had her second!

ReplyDeleteI like the Breeze Playard -- looks pretty practical.
ReplyDeleteMamaroo
ReplyDeleteThe Origami stroller is so high tech! Very cool.
ReplyDeletetwin girls are due in september. i have a feeling i'll need all the help i can get between the twins and their two year old sister so winning this would be perfect! both the mamaroo and rockaroo seem like amazing products.
ReplyDeletep.s. you are a magician with words!

ReplyDeleteLove the Origami Stroller & the RockaRoo! They have great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe Rockaroo looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted a MamaRoo since they first came out and the one hand folding/unfolding of the breeze?? Yes, Please! Their products all look amazing! Thanks for the opportunity! elleb at inbox dot com
ReplyDeleteSooooo I already have a really nice "traditional" swing but I've been coveting one of these ever since I saw them in We-Be-Babies a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Phoebe is so lovely :-D
Everything! But I would love the rockaroo, definitely could have used it for baby #1!
ReplyDeletethe mamaroo or the rockaroo would be PERFECT!
ReplyDeletePhoebe is adorable, first of all, as are all the other mini-Patton's. But that Rockaroo would be an amazing addition to my collection of baby stuffs for my first one on the way (I do not have anything yet, as I am only 5 weeks along!)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to try the Rock-a-roo with my next little one!
ReplyDeleteI love 4moms, but I've never been able to splurge on one. I would love the MamaRoo or Rockaroo for Baby #2!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted! https://twitter.com/augustawoods/status/462362301350162432
ReplyDeletePS- shared on twitter :)
ReplyDeleteRockaroo would be a great upgrade after three babies.
ReplyDeleteI would love a rock a roo!
ReplyDeleteI would love love love a rock a roo
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo looks great
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeletePhoebe is so cute (and tiny!) in the rockaRoo. I am so interested to try this with our second due at the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteAlso thank you for not making facebook the only way to win this giveaway:)
We had the momaroo with my first (11 months old now) and I COVET this for my 2nd (still just a little orange seed in utero)
ReplyDeleteA stroller that folds by itself??!! It's like science fiction but better. I think the MamaRoo would be the most used baby item in my whole house though.
ReplyDeleteRockaroo...looks awesome! Mamaroo would be a close second.
ReplyDeleteOMG this rocker would be so amazing for my friend's new baby!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing this for baby #3 due in August as our #2 wore out our previous swing. Super awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm due in 3 weeks and could TOTALLY use this!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try out their Origami stroller, the Breeze, and mamaRoo! A soon-to-be-mama can dream. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute and Phoebe looks adorns in it. Also, would lurve one for my surprise #2 coming this winter.
ReplyDeleteWe've been using the mamaroo, and it's great! I'd love to see the breeze,as we haven't quite sprung for crib #2 yet...
ReplyDeleteI have wanted one of their rockers & the playpen!
ReplyDeleteI so regret not investing in a 4moms seat the first time around. Fingers crossed I don't have to buy it myself!
ReplyDelete**mamaRoo is my favorite, in Classic Grey because HELLO spit-up.
DeleteShared on Facebook !
DeleteI love these products! I especially love their gender neutral color schemes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm due in October with #2 so it would be perfect! I shared this post on FB :)
DeleteMy baby is past this stage but my baby sis is about to pop - I think the rockaroo would make me the best auntie every!
ReplyDeleteThat car seat looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the rockaroo fabric and I know a baby that could really put this to good use! <3
ReplyDeletewould LOVE THE MAMAROO
ReplyDeleteGah, the Pheebs is so perfect! I can't wait to snuggle my newborn in just a few months...clearly the rockaroo would help me immensely!
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo would be perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI would love, love, love a MamaRoo or a RockaRoo!
ReplyDeleteI need The Breeze!!! That thing looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have been loving the mamaroo but this rockaroo looks great too

ReplyDeleteWould love the rockaroo!! And I'm due in 2 months with baby #2!!
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo is too cute! The breeze may be bought bc the last placard we had, it stayed assembled months past it's needed phase bc it was too hard to disassemble
ReplyDeleteThe mamaRoo seat looks awesome! But the rockaRoo and Breeze looks amazing, too.
ReplyDeleteDue yesterday with our third. Would love the mamaroo'
ReplyDeleteThe Breeze seems great!
ReplyDeleteWould love it! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so great! I am about to have 4, 4 and under and sure could also use an extra set of hands. Ever since I saw it on Anna's blog, I've wanted one!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! I love the rockaroo in grey plush.
ReplyDeleteWe have a baby on the way and I've been so interested in hearing if these are worth the money! Thanks for your review!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of their breeze beds!!
ReplyDeleteI love the mamaroo. I can't justify the price tag to my husband but I sure would buy it if I could!
ReplyDeleteWould like the swing
ReplyDeleteHeard such great things about this and the print is spot on.
ReplyDeleteWpould love one! I have heard amazingthings about it.
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo for sure is my fave even though the stroller looks like it's made for a rock(child)star so that's a close second.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so awesome. I'm 30 weeks with baby #3 and I'm pretty sure he'd love this swing!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have one of these and their Breeze play yard looks awesome too!
ReplyDeleteTweeted and tagged ♡ crossing my fingers!!

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Love that brand.
ReplyDeleteRockaroo! I have found many "unnecessary" baby items to be life savers, but maybe that says more about me...
ReplyDeleteThe rockaroo looks like a great help! I'd love that for baby #1. :)
ReplyDeleteResubmitting my comment as myself and not as my husband. :)

ReplyDeleteYes, please! Looks like Phoebe approves...
ReplyDeleteShared this mess on twitter @latinteachwife
ReplyDeleteLove the swing, but the spout cover looks interesting too!
ReplyDeleteI am all about the rockaroo. We need it!
ReplyDeleteLove the swing! We didn't have a swing when my son was a baby (just the Fisher Price bouncer to toddler rocker), and *I* became the swing. I won't make that mistake again!
ReplyDeleteI would love something magical for baby #3!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite products from 4moms have to be the mamaRoo and the rockaRoo. I've heard/read so many great reviews on both!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt a rockaroo!
ReplyDeleteMama too or rock a too!
ReplyDelete...and I tweeted! http://tinyurl.com/lgrtdny
ReplyDeleteRock-a-roo looks amazing. I have heard it is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide between the MamaRoo or the RockaRoo. I'd have to do more research before deciding.
ReplyDeleteOoh, it's a tough call between the mamaRoo and rockaRoo!
ReplyDeleteRockaroo! So dang cute. Love how designer it is. Fingers and toes crossed!
ReplyDeleteThe RockaRoo and the Breeze both look amazing!
