A Little Vacuum, A Big Difference: Black + Decker Giveaway

 

It was only three hours.  How hard could it be to look after a 9 month old baby for only three hours.  As it turns out, all kinds of hard.

My 9 month old niece came for a visit, and the truth of the matter is, that girl gave me a run for my money.

We read books.

Crawled on the floor.

Sang a few songs.

Knocked over a full container of Cheerios onto the table, that spilled all over the floor.

Laughed and laughed at the lack of dexterity of Aunt Stephanie.

Had a bottle (her, not me).

Decided we were still hungry and needed one of those super sloppy crumbly cookie things.  My giant puppy was fascinated by that cookie.

Had a little water from a sippy cup, and promptly spilled some of that on the floor too!

You almost forget how amazing, exhilarating, wonderful, exhausting and messy it is to have a baby around the house again.  Until you borrow a kiddo….and give her back.  By the time here Mama came to pick her up, that girl was thoroughly loved, a little messier than when she arrived, and most certainly almost as tired as her Aunt.

The only thing is, when my SassyNeice left?  She got to have a sweet little nap in her carseat on the way home.  I was left to deal with crumbly cookie, spilled water and the Cheerio disaster of 2016.

 

It was the perfect time to break out my brand new Black + Decker 7.2-Volt Lithium Wet/Dry Cordless Handheld Vacuum.  It’s cordless, it’s cute, it’s faster than a Great Dane smelling treats on the floor.
