New York Huggies Event with Angie Harmon

I know, it’s about time right? It’s been a whole week since my family and I have been back from NY and I can officially be labeled a slacker for not posting this sooner.

Well, the awesome ladies at Edelman PR invited us to New York to attend the Huggies Little Movers event and auction in Madison Square Park. I’ve never been there, so it was pretty exciting to be able to fly across the country and finally see what everyone has been talking about! The only down side? We were actually IN New York for a total of 19 hours… I know. We plan to go back though. :)

While it was a super short trip, it was still pretty flipping awesome. We were able to have a little chat with the lovely Angie Harmon before attending the event, which was put on to help to raise money for KaBOOM!. Angie and her husband Jason Sehorn (swoon) were our celebrity hosts and signed a pair of Big Movers shoes for the auction. Check out the shoes signed by other celebrity parents here.

Here’s a little video recap:

The other bloggers that attended were Miss Zoot, Poop & Boogies, Metalia, Blasian Baby Notes, and I Pretty Much Hate Everything. Those are some hilarious people right there, let me tell you! Since we all brought our babies, the atmosphere was just so relaxed and there wasn’t much pressure at all… and it was truly a nice break! It was so great to be able to meet and spend a little time with all of them while we were there.

And now… PHOTOS!

The bloggers and our babies

She was so nice and down to earth. I think right here she was playing with one of the kid's little plastic phones.

The meet and greet with Angie Harmon. Justin is in love, I'm pretty sure.

My spawn. This picture terrifies me! What's with the face, Madeline?

Blogger babies in the ball pit... they LOVED it.

Maddie seriously didn't want to leave. Did you see that part in the video where she threw a hissy? Drama.

There was a whole play area set up for the babies... it was a mini obstacle course! So cute.

Justin and Miss Orange Nose in the hotel room (she loves those sweet potatoes)

Aaaaand the Gable girls, full of cheese.

Thank you so much to Edelman and Huggies for giving us this great opportunity! We had such a fabulous time!

And a big thanks to Torrie for letting me steal the photos from her Flickr. See more here.

GOOD LORD. Is that not the most hilarious/scary thing you’ve ever seen?

Thanks to Maddie’s Auntie Anna for experimenting with future hairstyle options. :)

Things I didn’t realize before I had a kid

• The power of cheerios. Those things can keep a kid quiet and entertained for as long as the supply in your diaper bag lasts.
• Sleeping in? BAHAHAHAHA… oh, that’s a good one.
• From the moment you become a parent you automatically possess the ability to stumble out of bed at 3am and change a crying baby’s dirty diaper at a speed so lightning fast, sometimes you can’t even remember doing it the next morning.
• Carrots, sweet potatoes and peaches will turn your baby’s nose orange.
• How packing a diaper bag every day gets really, really old, but it eventually becomes one of those things you can do in your sleep.
• It isn’t possible to be both lazy and a good parent.
• Censoring bad words is an art, and one that takes quite a long time to master.
• Your tolerance for people who waste your time will EVAPORATE.
• You will get pooped on and somehow still want to kiss the person who did it.

Madeline – 8 Months

• Claps her hands when we say, “Yay!”
• Wears 12 month clothes because she’s flippin’ HUGE (she can thank her tall Daddy)
• Leans toward you with an open mouth when you tell her to “give kisses”
• Is able to stand on her own, which means up next is walking… save me.
