What Drives Me Crazy and a GIVEAWAY!
First of all I have to tell you about something that drives me absolutely crazy. When strangers feel the need to touch Hailey. I hate it. People think they need to touch her cheeks, her hands, her hair- just something on her. They feel like they just need to touch her. I remember once when she was very little a cashier saying, “Oh she doesn’t need that” as she pulled Hailey’s pacifier out of her mouth. And anyone who knows me knows that after strangers have been touching Hailey- I will wipe her down and clean her up to get all of their yucky germs off of her.
So, when I saw these shirts at Wordsies I knew I had to have one. They are just perfect. Some of my favorite shirts say things like “Look but don’t touch,” “Wash your hands first,” ”My lips are for my mommy,” “Got clean hands?” and of course this one:
Just in case you can’t read it- it says, “If you can read this, you’re too close.”
These shirts are just perfect for anyone like me who doesn’t like strangers touching their baby. They also have great shirts for moms- my particular favorite says “My Baby My Rules.”
Now the part you’ve all been waiting for- the GIVEAWAY! Now this is my very first giveaway so I hope you are as excited as I am. How would you like to win one of these fabulous shirts from Wordsies? Here’s what you have to do if you want to win. Click on over to Wordsies, look at their adorable shirts and then leave me a comment to tell me which shirt you like the best. The winner will receive the “Got Clean Hands?” shirt (sizes range from 3-6 months to 18-24 months).
You do not have to have a blog to enter the giveaway- just be sure you leave a valid email address when you leave your comment so that I have a way to contact you if you don’t have a blog. (Hey, maybe all of my lurkers will finally leave me a comment)
You do not have to post about the contest on your blog to be entered- but if you do post about it you can come back here and leave another comment with the direct link to your post and you will be entered twice.
I’ll pick a winner on Tuesday, April 22nd at 11:59pm using the random number generator thingee.

My son has hair that sticks up ALL THE TIME so people always want to touch it. I even did a post a while back about a woman who licked her fingers and then touched his hair. People just don’t think. I totally know what you mean… I like the one about “My Lips Are For My Mommy!” Cute! Thanks for the chance!
April 16th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Have I mentioned yet that I am in love with your adorable daughter? OH MY she is soo cute!!!
April 16th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the one that says “Got clean hands?” I don’t really enjoy strangers touching my daughter either.
April 16th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Aw, that shirt is so cute.
Have a great day. =)
April 16th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I LOVE the “Don’t compare me to your baby!” Because Ladybug is such a big baby, people feel the need to comment on her chubbiness.
I guess I’ve been lucky about strangers touching her. Mostly it’s just folks at church, although I do wonder if they’ve washed their hands!
April 16th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
she is such a cutie! Look at her modeling her great shirt. I love all their products….I couldn’t pick one favorite! (of course I know as payback for not winning my giveaway you are going to cross me off the list anyway…ha ha ha!)
April 16th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

I guess I never had that problem.
Hailey looks great in that color!!
April 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I had no idea these shirts were out there. It would have saved me a lot of hand sanitizer! I don’t like people to touch my baby either! Yuck. I love the one that your daughter has on. I’m all about personal space.
April 17th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Am I eligible? I’m in the farthest part of the globe…heheh…if I’m not, it’s fine with me. But if I am, I love the “Don’t Compare Me TO Your Baby”…
April 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like ALL of them…!! LOL! and I especially like the “I’m a biracial cutie!!”
April 18th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the “Don’t cha wish your baby was cute like me” shirt.

CUTE!
I have such a hard time not touching people’s babies, but I try so hard not to…
That shirt is adorable, but not as cute as Hailey is.
April 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Okay, my favorite shirt is the one that your daughter has! It’s hilarious! I love it!!
April 19th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
You have a great site here… and I have to admit, that my favorite shirt immediately, without any hesitation is “Got Clean Hands?”
I work in an environment, a clinic, but not a health clinic, a voluntary psychiatric clinic, where they are constantly pushing clean hands. How to wash them, how often and how long… The suggestion is to sing, the “Happy Birthday” song completely, when you do wash your hands. We even have hand sanitizers every where you go, bathrooms, dining rooms, and they hand out portable hand sanitizers as well.
Great blog!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
How fun! Congrats on having your first giveaway! I like the ‘wash your hands first’ one!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the Look But Don’t Tough shirt. People always want to kiss or squeeze my daughter’s cheeks…drives me nuts!!!!!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

says it all. thanks for a great giveaway
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the Look But Don’t Touch shirt, because it’s the most direct. And I think they need to make one that says the same thing in maternity sizes.
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Don’t cha wish your baby was cute like me is hillarious!

I love the one about no kissing on my lips. Great idea!!!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love “My Lips Are For My Mommy”. As all of our family members seem to think it’s o.k to kiss both our boys on the lips. Thanks for the great giveaway!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love Don’t Compare Me TO Your Baby & because we are foster parents, we have many biracial babies. I get so tired of rude people saying, “What” is he/she?
This would answer their questions & save me a little anger.
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the “Got Clean Hands?” shirt!!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Awesome tees! My fave comment is Look But Don’t Touch
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the “My Mom is Hotter than Yours” shirt. Too cute.
Thanks a lot.
Jen
p.s. I’d need the 18-24 month if i were so lucky to win, thanks!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the my mom is hotter than your mom!
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Love the “Dont Cha wish your baby was cute like me!”.
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Hi! I couldn’t agree with you more! Hands should be kept to the person they are attached to unless they are asked otherwise! Please enter me in your delightful drawing. Thanks very much…..Cindi
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
My favorite is the one your precious daughter is modeling — the “If you can read this then you’re too close” — I can’t stand when people touch my daughter. I once turned around and someone had plucked her paci out of her mouth. I almost lost it.
April 20th, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I’ve never seen these before, but I love them.
My sister actually had someone take my niece out of the sling insisting, “Oh, that’s not safe. Put her in the cart instead.” The old bat actually took the baby OUT OF THE SLING.
A friend had a woman at Ren Faire take her son out of the sling when she (the mom) was trying to nurse. She told the stranger, “No, he’s hungry.” The stranger insisted, “Oh, but I”m great with babies. They love me.” Well, this woman was well endowed and wearing a corset which pushed her cleavage up. So when she picked up the baby, he eyed her cleavage (remember, he was hungry), and reached in and actually pulled a breast out. She was mortified, but my friend was vindicated and now she has THE BEST story to tell about nosy strangers.
If that doesn’t teach you to keep your hands off other people’s kids, nothing will.
I need to send her a link to these.

“My Lips Are For My Mommy”
Awesome!

I love the shirt your DD is wearing!!! I need one of those for my son! I also need one of the mommy shirts, my baby, my rules to wear when we go to my mother in law’s house! lol.

Wash your hands first!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I just love the one that says “If you can read this you are too close.”
Cheers!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like them all… But my favorite is the ‘if you can read this, you’re too close’. It sums up all the other sayings - as hands, lips, etc shouldn’t be able to reach baby if they are standing back. Too funny! Thanks for the great giveaway!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
The “Please don’t kiss my lips” would certainly be useful around the family reunion where everyone seems to zero in on my granddaughter. She is that cute but it scares her when someone gets in her face.
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I definately like the look but don’t touch shirt.
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the “Please Don’t compare me to your Baby” shirt. Let each baby be there own. I also love the Got clean hands onsie - I make everyone even my 7 year old wash their hands before they comes near the baby.
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I have to say I love the Got Clean Hands on the best!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the “Look but Don’t Touch” one. People will just come up and start touching my baby, whether he’s in my arms, strapped to my chest in a carrier, or sleeping in his car seat. Yikes!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
How cute! I liek the “please don’t compare me to your baby” shirt
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
Smart shirts. I like “Look But Don’t Touch”. Thank you.
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
My favorite: If you can read this, you’re too close.

I like the “Got clean hands?”… I also love the Mommy shirt “My Baby, My Rules” My best friend is due with her first in July, and she could soooo use both of these!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!

I came across your blog from Hay’s blog. I checked out the shirts. They are great but probably wouldn’t fit my 26 year old son or 29 year old daughter. I see you are losing weight. I have lost 70 pounds in the past year. I still have 120 to go. I have to be in good shape for when my daughter decides to have a baby. Having such an important goal makes it easier. Unfortunately I am disabled because of severe arthritis but I won’t get new knees until I lose more weight. This makes exercising difficult though I will be starting chair yoga soon. Have a great day!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the “My Baby, My Rules” brown mommy shirt!
April 21st, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I really like “Wash your hands first!”
April 22nd, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like “my lips are for my mommy”
April 22nd, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love the brown My Baby My Rules shirt. Super cute. I like the pink and white one too. I feel the same way you do about getting too close. I remember people felt like they could touch my pregnant belly. They don’t touch it when I’m not pregnant so why would they touch it when I was?
April 22nd, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I love “look but don’t touch”. I live in Israel so I guess being in English most of the “touchers’ won’t get the warning.

PLEASE DON’T COMPARE ME TO YOUR BABY is perfect. I live in an icky competitive mommy world. This gets the message across perfectly.
April 22nd, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
I like the If you can read his, you’re too close one…I don’t like strangers always wanting to touch my babies. Though well meaning I find it thoughtless and annoying esp during cold season. Hope to win. chiarascari@gmail.com
April 22nd, 2008 Thank You For Your Comment!
