I’d like to say that I spend my days gazing lovingly into my newborn’s eyes, playing board games with my son and french braiding my daughter’s hair while the rich aroma of hearty, home-cooked meals fills the house. But nobody would believe me. So the truth it is. I sit on a rocking chair breastfeeding the baby while yelling at Irene to stop hitting her brother and pleading with them to just turn on the TV so I might get a few minutes of blessed silence. And the only smell wafting through the room is coming from the bag of dirty diapers.
I might get a few minutes at the computer to check my email or to try to write something on this here blog, but for every one minute spent doing actual tasks, ten are spent ping ponging back and forth from Twitter to Facebook like an ADHD chicken with its head cut off, on speed. Sound familiar?
Yes, I love my social media and chances are so do you. What could be better than catching up with old friends and gossiping with new ones? How about doing all that and saving money at the same time?
The Loblaws company has started a new Baby and You Facebook page for Canadian parents that does just that. Just like the page and gain access to exclusive savings and promotions. They’re giving away Joe Fresh gift cards as we speak! Check back often to check on the deals, read what the in-house bloggers have to say in the Mom Talk and Baby Talk pages, or just hang out and interact with other new parents because all your friends are out partying like irresponsible teenagers. Whatever, you’re not bitter.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check Facebook.
