National Napping Day!!! (And some Giveaways!!)

Is she serious? YES I AM! Today is National Napping Day!! What sweeter words than “Nap” to a mom of one…two..three….you get the point. There are all kinds of statistics about napping and productivity…napping and creativity…all of the wonders of the world who got that way by napping… I’m here to tell you that the serenity of a nap…the blissful peace of those two hours a day when everyone is miraculously sleeping at the SAME TIME…are a miracle greater than any other.  This, to me, is a time worth commemorating…and the fact that there is a “National Napping Day” …. signifies brilliance and forward thinking among the powers that be.

Protect-A-Bed is celebrating this day with a Twitter contest… a chance to win a set of Premium Pillow Protectors just for following @Protect_A_Bed on Twitter and sharing your funniest napping stories using the hashtag #nappingday. That’s it!

In my house we have a preschooler, a toddler, a 6 month old, 3 dogs (all very old) and two parents (at their wits end)…. I can tell you that a protective mattress cover for our bed is nothing BUT a good idea!!  (Ohhhh how I wish I had this product last week when the flu hit and everyone wanted to sleep in Mommy’s bed…)  Both my husband and my oldest suffer from a wide array of allergies…and there is ALWAYS someone sleeping in our bed who is drooling, throwing up, peeing or… well… you get the idea.  Beach towels just aren’t going to cut it forever!  We have been toying with the idea of getting a new mattress set…but really…it seems sort of pointless until everyone is a little older.  But this would HELP!

Protect-A-Bed and Resourceful Mommy Media have arranged for me to test out one of their Premium Mattress Covers …. and have one to give away to one of my readers as well!!  All in the name of a healthy, happy nap.  These are my kinda people!!!
