Freebies form the Crib: Another Rowdy Diaper Bag
So we have made it through a year+ of having at least one "freebie" every month. In 2008, we'll have a freebie whenever one lends itself (don't worry, we still got a few up our sleeve). It's been so fun to give away some fun, free stuff and more importantly, I have loved "meeting" some amazing and inspiring momtrepreneurs (and dadtrepreneurs) along the way.
This freebie might look a little familiar because we highlighted
Rowdy back in December. It was a super-cool product and a generous giveaway back then so how could we pass up an opportunity to do another! To refresh your memory, Rowdy was started by two husband and wife teams (Sara & Mike and Kat & Justin) who set out to design, produce and sell the "perfect diaper bag".
The Rocker Convertible in green - is currently sitting in my closet just waiting for it's multitude of pockets to be filled with tiny newborn diapers, a change of clothing and all that other stuff newborns need (i'm struggling right now to remember what those things are--guess I still have a few more weeks to remember again).
Rowdy diaper bags real selling points are all the perfectly practical details: the many inner pockets, the changing pad and insulated bottle holder. And, all of their bags are designed with a detachable purse. It's a great place to keep your wallet and other personal items so when you can ditch the diapers, you can detach the purse and go with out having to constantly "change bags".
But don't forget the best part of every Rowdy bag--the removable, washable lining. All moms who have ever had a bottle leak or a sippy cup spill in your diaper bag please raise your hand. You know it is next to impossible to get it cleaned out. Then the milk residue hiding in all the cracks starts smelling bad. Ugh, it's disgusting. Not with a Rowdy bag. After a spill, just pull out the waterproof lining and throw it in the washing machine and your bag is as good as new. Love that!
Now for the freebie, the winner will will receive the Sophisticate Bowler in the color of their choice (a retail value of $120)! Will you choose the sleek white just in time for spring, or the sophisticated tan? Just enter a comment below! If you don't happen to need a new diaper bag in your life right now please tell someone who does. These bags promise to make any new mom (or returning mom like me) giddy with delight.
And if you don't happen to win the freebie, all the parents at Rowdy are once again offering a 15% discount to all Tales readers. Just enter the code: TALES at checkout.
How to win this Freebie:
-You have until Thursday(2/28), midnight EST to enter.

-Winner will be randomly picked and announced Friday(2/29) morning.

Ooooh pick me pick me pick me. I've resorted to trying to repair my current one. I'm not a sewer, or at least I'm not good yet.

Just loverly! This might distract people from the spit up usually accessorizing my wardrobe.

I just had my first baby and my diaper bag looks like a guyper bag (more for my husband than for me). These are so cute and stylish!

OOOh, I'll have two babies by the end of 2008 - you should definitely pick me!

Please let me be the lucky winner! I've had my eye on these bags since December! I'm pretty much in love but can't find a way to justify a new one in our Boston student budget and winning one would give me an extra reason to smile :)

Love those diaper bags!!! Pick me, pick me :)

I remember the previous give-away and still drool over that diaper bag. Very, very cool.
posted by Mary at 2/26/2008 12:00:00 PM
Please pick me!! They look and sound awesome, plus it will be right in time for my first baby!!!
posted by The Cahoons! at 2/26/2008 12:17:00 PM
I have a friend who could desperately use one of these fantastic bags. How is that for altruistic? I’m going to give it away to someone else.
Not to mention those bags are hot.
posted by Carina at 2/26/2008 12:21:00 PM
I would love one of these. I use the lame hospital diaper bag, I need it!!
posted by Lacey at 2/26/2008 12:24:00 PM
This has brought me out of a two year lurking closet. Love the bag.
posted by Chelle at 2/26/2008 12:24:00 PM
These bags are so hip! Would love to have one!
posted by Whitney at 2/26/2008 12:38:00 PM
I've been hauling around the one the hospital gives away when you deliver for the past six months now... and let's just say we've been a little "rowdy" with it over these six months, and could really use a new one!!!!
posted by ♥ ♥ ♥ at 2/26/2008 01:15:00 PM
You know, I just found your site a week or so ago and I love it!!! I am a mom to a three year old, and I'm expecting #2 in April! This would be the perfect addition!! I've been telling my husband that I want a cute diaper bag, and he just rolls his eyes. What's a girl to do? But he can't complain if I win it and get ir for free, right?
posted by ennbenn at 2/26/2008 01:24:00 PM
I'm tired of spending money on useless diaper bags...this would solve a lot of my problems. Pick me!
posted by Anonymous at 2/26/2008 01:27:00 PM
Again, too cute! I love those bags. I'd buy one myself but I'm saving my money for a wrap sling. :-)

sounds like a great bag - thanks for the chance to win!

Not that we are having another baby any time soon but I would love to win something someday.
posted by Joshua at 2/26/2008 01:44:00 PM
With two still in diapers and a third coming in about 6 weeks, I could definitely use a diaper bag. And when the last Rowdy freebie came up, the sophisticate bowler was the one I really liked, so this is perfect...
posted by Anonymous at 2/26/2008 02:29:00 PM
Ohmygosh! Please pick me... that is the cutest diaper bag, and I am SO bored with my current one!
posted by Claire at 2/26/2008 02:30:00 PM
I need one - I either wreck my diaper bags or get tired of them and want a new one. Hopefully winning this would solve both of those problems!

Having a baby...would love a diaper bag!

My baby, last in line, doesn't deserve a hand-me-down diaper bag; she deserves THIS ONE (and so does her mommy).
posted by ~j. at 2/26/2008 03:50:00 PM
maybe this time i will be the lucky one....
posted by Erin at 2/26/2008 04:04:00 PM
Yippeee - another chance for a great diaper bag!! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
posted by m e l at 2/26/2008 04:09:00 PM
Ooh, I really would like one that is SO much better than my current bag: the one issued from the hospital.
posted by Team Carroll at 2/26/2008 05:07:00 PM
Ok...if you pick me, pick again because I am happily baby-less. But I just have to say that these are gorgeous bags! Holy Man! Like maybe I would give it to JLo if she invited me to her baby shower which she probably won't because I am not really one of her friends. But I like to have a few ideas stashed away just in case.
posted by Anonymous at 2/26/2008 05:18:00 PM
I would love to be picked. I'm expecting number two in less than 3 months and very much need to replace my current bag. These ones are fantastic!

Sounds like there are a lot of pregnant moms out there including myself expecting #5. They did not have all this neat stuff when i had my other children. I need this because my teenage daughters will not allow me to use anything that is not "stylish and cute".
