Mommy Toolbox Review and Giveaway!
Who's says Daddy's are the only one
who have a tool box? Who says Daddy's
are the only one who would use a tool
box? Mommy's are in on that stuff too.
Maybe it should be, "Daddy's are the only
ones who NEED a toolbox." For eons Mommy's
have used their creativity to use everyday
items for the parts they need. Don't have
any WD-40 to stop Jr's squeaky wheel? A little
Butter will do the trick. A hammer? EH, the
bottom of a can of Green Beans Works in a
Pinch. More then once I have used my
Metal Nail file as a screw driver or
some tooth paste to patch a hole in
the wall. Men will spend 4 days looking
at different hardware stores and asking
62 different friends what is the best
tool for the job to tighten the Cupboard
doors back on. Six Months later the
door is still about ready to fall off and
the research is still compiling and they
are "almost" there. Five minutes after that
I grab a Penny and tighten the screws and
cross that off the list. Mom's make do
with what they have.
This next review is from a Mom who
grew tired of having to wait on other
people to come up with items she needed
and knows a Mom doesn't want a steamer trunk
filled with different nails and another for
the hammers and another yet for the screwdrivers.
She wants one or two items that can do the
job of all those and more. Mommy Toolbox
started with one, over worked, over stressed
Mom who was having a hard time keeping items
like her purse and diaper bag secure with
a stroller and she gave the retail world its
chance. She looked for an item that she could
use to attach her bag right to the stroller and
leave her hands free. They have organizers but
those only fit items small, great for a cell phone
or your keys but try slipping a cell phone on
Jr's bootee next time it is wet. What Mom
or woman in general would leave the house,
even if only going to the park, without her
purse anyways? I feel her pain for I didn't know
her gadgets were around and I have even used
a bungee cord once and shoes laces more then
once to tie these items to the handle of the
stroller for just such a trip. She also hit the
hardware store and looked for a clip. Don't the
guys have clips for everything? Just about, but
not for this. Everything they need is in that
little leather wallet they cart in their
pocket, anything else, that's what Mommy's are for.
Men open Jars, women do everything else. If something
is too big for a mans pocket he has his wife hold it. In
her search she found huge clips, if she was looking to
attach a semi to the stroller, hey, she was covered . She
found tiny clips, who knows what those are for. Men
file stuff like that in the "Just in case" category
like fishing lures. Man lives 4,000 miles from
salt water but has at least one reel and 13 lures
used just for salt water for "just in case."
What they did not have though was a hook that was
big enough to fit around the handle of a stroller
and not so big she would need a forklift to
help move. So she made one. Carabeans is the perfect
size for Mommies and all their needs. Not one
tool, one need, like how the rules are written
in the men's play book, but rather one tool, anything
you can think of!
It is the perfect size for hooking your purse or
diaper bag to a stroller or shopping cart. Ideal for
attaching Jr's toy to their car seat or high chair
so you don't have to play yet another game of Dropsy!
Did they loose their woobie again? No more, hook it
right to the bed rail or play pen and you will no
longer be running around like Phycho Mom on 42 cups
of Expresso in the morning. If you have an imagination and
a need the Carabean can fill it and fix it and
Dads tool box can stay safely on the shelf until
its next dusting. There a tons of ways you can use
your gadget and unlike the boys who will be reminding
you that you could have used the 32 bit zillawatski
the ladies will be looking at you going, "Hey,
why didn't I think of that!
Mommy Toolbox also has another handy little ditty
for you busy gals, the Spring Bean. Ever need another
hand? Something that can hold one end while you hold the
other? Have an item too heavy for clothes pins to hold to
the line? Blanket keep falling off baby in the stroller or
you are trying to help your kids build a fort in the
living room and you are tired a balancing books to hold
down the edges and you really don't want to use a safety
pin or rubber band and risk ruining your blanket? Yeah,
all that has happened to me too! The worst is when I am
trying to fix something or clean something at the end of
a long item like a curtain or a blanket and you keep having
to readjust what you are doing and you even go so far as to
enlist the aid of your children to hold one end and seconds
into that you realize what a mistake for little Jimmy keeps
dropping his end or fidgeting and you have to start all over.
Okay, so we can't have an extra hand but the Spring Bean is
the next best thing! It is a super sized, heavy duty clamp
that you can use anywhere, anytime! Use them to hang up wet
swim suits or sneakers, Kids toys to dry out or even just to
store. Anytime you need something to stay put, there you
go, use number 4,001! It is easy to see Mommy toolbox
understands Moms and their needs. For just a quick fix to
hey Mr Bag, you are going to stay there to I say so, Mommy
Toolbox has you covered! My next move is cleaning out the
Junk Drawer of all John's Junk and tossing in a bunch
of Spring Beans and Carabean and no longer have to worry
that I have the right tool for the Job!
I also have a Carabean and a SpringBean for one of
my readers. To enter just head over to Mommy Toolbox and

you have learned in the comments. The contest will start
Tonight and run to Midnight on March 26th.
