Playdates are staples in SAHM-hood and critical to any mom’s
sanity. Now that our babies have evolved into toddlers, my mommy friends and I need each other more than ever. Help! I must get out of the house with this
kid! Can we come over? PLEASE!
Yeah, it’s pretty much like that.
So we’ve discussed at length what our ideal playdate would
be. Toddler containment is key, so there must be a wall or fence of some kind. There
would a large room or area filled with toys and activities that are new to all
the kids. And there would some comfy chairs for the moms to sit around the
perimeter, close enough to participate and respond to “Mommy, look at this!”
and “WAAAAA! He took my truuuuuck!” Yes,
it would be great to carry on adult conversations while still keeping an eye on
the kiddos. And possibly sip some wine at the same time.
But in all our ideal playdate fantasies, we never came up
with something as cool as the Hyundai Santa Fe Epic Playdate Weekend. Seriously, you have NEVER seen a
playdate like this. Ever.
Picture this, my friends. Ice cream sundae bars, paint
fights, photography for kids, hula-hoop workshops, and tons more fun
activities. Also, some incredible bloggers will be there. Pardon me while I
drop some names: Dooce, Mighty Girl, Oh Happy Day, Oh Joy, Say Yes To Hoboken,
Girls Gone Child, BoingBoing, and How To Be A Dad. (Ahem. I know, right?) These
super blogosphere celebs will be camping on the beach and hosting all these fun
activities just for you.
The epic playdate is Saturday, April 27 from 9am-5pm, and the
venue for this event couldn’t be more ideal – Santa Barbara, CA. It’s such an
awesome town. I highly encourage you to make a whole weekend (or longer!) out
of your stay.
However, this event is by invitation only, so if you want to
go, you have to enter to win.
Not that I need any more competition, but it would be super cool to have you
there, so here’s how to enter:
First, you must have a Pinterest
account. (C’mon, do you really not have a Pinterest account already?) Then go
here to fill out the entry form,
and in the “how did you hear about us?” field, you must select “Clever Girls
Collective.” And then pin a few pics (details are on the entry form) and your done. Easy peasy. And you were going to waste time on Pinterest tonight anyway, right?
The grand prize package includes a trip for four to the event, and
there are four grand prizes up for grabs.
Hope to see you there! Good luck!
