Giveaway: Three Month Supply of Huggies Little Movers Diapers (value $216) plus a Baby Loves Disco Party Pack
A few weeks ago, Huggies invited Mazzy and I to a BABY LOVES DISCO event sponsored by their new diaper— Little Movers Slip-ons. 'Space to dance' is reason enough for me to say "Of course, we'll go!" but just in case I was someone with a busier social calendar, Huggies stacked the deck with promises of free diapers and a meet and greet with Padma Lakshimi.
Disco and diapers aside, you might remember that a while back I declared Padma my (incredibly realistic!) mom friend goal— since she lives in my neighborhood, has a daughter the same age as Mazzy and is probably itching to have someone ask her repeated questions about Top Chef. (Really? Hosea in Season 5?)
Although, having now met her, I can safely say, I have put my mom friend dreams behind me. Not that Padma wasn't incredibly sweet and gracious, just that next to her I look like George Costanza and I prefer to live in a world where I'm not a short stocky bald man in sweatpants.
To prepare me for the disco, Huggies sent Mazzy a Baby Loves Disco t-shirt, a Baby Loves Disco CD, a pack of Slip-Ons to try out and THE ULTIMATE IN PARENTAL WINDFALLS— 18 Silver Huggies Coupons each good for one JUMBO pack of diapers. That's three months of free diapers! I don't think any payday in the history of ever has made my husband more excited than those silver coupons.
If you don't already know about Huggies Slip-ons, they are designed for squirmy kids like Mazzy who would rather eat asparagus than lie still on a table while Mommy fumbles with tape and tabs. Instead your kid can just step into them and you pull them up while they are standing. I can honestly say, they have cut my diaper wrangling/changing time in half.
Important Note: They detach like a regular diaper for removal. That may seem obvious to most but I didn't realize this the first time Mazzy wore them which was coincidentally also the time she decided to have a major blowout at a restaurant. Translation: I pulled the whole mess over Mazzy's legs and feet to get it off and then used an entire box of wipes to clean her up. FUN TIMES. Also? I'm an IDIOT.
Anyway, I'm not the only one that gets to bask in the glow of a DIAPER WINDFALL. Huggies is giving away three months worth of Huggies Little Movers Diapers (value $216) plus a Baby Loves Disco Party Pack (t-shirt, CD and disco ball stickers) to one lucky reader.
But before we get to the entry rules, I'd like to talk about the event. Namely, that I thought I was shooting awesome video of Mazzy dancing up a storm with two of her buddies the whole time when I was actually taking really really bad pictures.
Thankfully, life with a toddler is an ALL-DAY-EVERY-DAY dance party. Below is a compilation of Mazzy's best moves.

UPDATE: Congratulations to Casey Deuce! Her toddler likes dancing to "Surfin' Bird". Which means her kid might be older than I am. Please contact me at myshort@mommyshorts.com to claim your prize.
Mazzy can totally rock the floor!!
3 months worth of free diapers just made me wet my pants in excitement. I really wish I live in the US. Sigh.
Silas loves hip hop and rap…I think because that is what I listened to while pregnant mostly to taunt my husband with the fact that while our baby was in utero I had full creative control. I have this horribly inapprpriate habit of getting him to dance to the most hardcore or skeezy rap songs. It makes me laugh to see him rock back and forth to something like What’s your fantasy by Ludacris. I’m a bad person.
When Charlie was 11 months, he loved the theme song to The Office. No matter where he was in the house, he would come running into the family room and start bopping to the song. Now his favorite song to dance to is “Hey Soul Sister”. I don’t know what’s better… his dancing or him singing along with the song!
P.S. Mazzy has got some moves! So cute!
Right now, my kids’ favorite song right now is a Bollywood song from my Zumba class: http://youtu.be/hcKtDXUb6Cg It used to be Tik-Tok by Ke$ha.
I expose them too all the appropriate toddler songs.
My baby loves dancing to anything upbeat. This includes commercials, jingles, Disney songs, and your occasional smack-that-a** hard core rap music you happen to be alongside while waiting for the red light to turn green…
I love mazzy and the shake part. Excellent music interpretation! Aubrey bounces to any music although I forded serious dance moves to come!
so, i am not that interested in the giveaway since I am desperately trying to get Parker OUT of diapers, but he LOVES to dance to ‘Fire’ not the bruce version, but the Glee version. I think by owning the Glee version I lost my cool music listener card.
oh, and here is video of the dancing….
http://youtu.be/uuVBMRqt1S8
Lately my little Monster has been rocking out to Cherry Cherry by Neil Diamond. I don’t care what anyone says, that song RULES!
My little one’s favorite song is Van Morrison’s “Everyone.” We listen to it every day! Every. Day.
🙂
Everly also loves a good dance party- her absolute favorite jam is “That’s Not My Name” by the Ting Tings. We will see if I can figure out how to upload video from my phone to YouTube because baby girl has MOVES!
Love the compilation, so cute! Griffin will pretty much dance to ANY yo gabba gabba song (he really likes “There’s a party in my tummy” but occasionally he will just start to rock out to what I can only assume is the music he just feels in his bones when there is absolutely no actual music playing at all. The kid has rhythm!
We love Baby Loves Disco!!! Did you know they are all over the US? I don’t need diapers anymore so don’t enter me (thank gawd) but just thought I’d share that Jack’s favorite song to dance to is Superman by REM and Anna’s is Louder by Charice.
Dance parties are the best!
My Heart’s a Stereo by Gym Class Heros and Adam L. Maybe because it is my go-to song for a good mood, and whenever it comes on I crank it up and dance up a storm myself!! 🙂
Mazzy is such a great dancer!!!! Hannah’s favorite song to dance to is “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”. Not very unique, but she loves that song – over and over and over….
Grace’s favorite dance song is the “Hot Dog” from They Might Be Giants that comes on at the end of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Darn those catchy toddler show tunes!
I like you on FB with my username Mary Happymommy.
My daughter has 2 songs she loves to dance to. It’s really funny but she dances to the “Sex & the City” theme song. Her other favorite is Britney Spears’ “I Wanna Go”.
My son loves to dance to Pumped Up Kicked by Foster the People. He starts dancing on the floor then ends up doing a one baby mosh pit on the couch 🙂
Oops that was supposed to be Pumped up Kicks haha
Our almost 1 year old will stop everything and shake his booty for two songs: LMFAO’s ‘I’m sexy and I know it’, and Sublime’s ‘Caress me down’…it’s a hoot!
My son will dance to absolutely anything but his favorite seems to be anything on “Yo Gabba Gabba”.
Milo loves Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger… and pretty much any other probably inappropriate song that he shouldnt know the words to. He totally dictates what songs we listen to in the car.
My son loves dancing to the Wiggles sadly.
All three of my boys start shaking it when the Rascal Flatts song from Cars, Life is a Highway, comes on the radio.
Mazzy is quite the dancer. We like to booty dance to the animal songs on the Leap Frog xylophone zoo (we are only 13 months old so I am sure more sophisticated music choices will arise).
I also just read your post about diaper jeans and LOVE the nevernudes reference. Awesome show!
Okay, I think I’m in the right place now. 🙂 My guy loves Rihanna’s S&M. It’s so inappropriate, yet so funny for us. If he’s off getting into something, all we have to do is turn that song on and he comes running.
Bonus video for Owen dancing to Rihanna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GjEH1n43H0
Ugh, Hazy’s favorite dance song is, unfortunately, “Hello Everybody”, from our Music Together class. We dance to it, sing it in the car, and I am forced to sing it ad nauseum all the time.
My daughter thinks she is little Beyonce. Her favorite song to dance to is “put a ring on it”.
My daughter will dance to just about anything, including the soft rock in grocery stores and elevator music
Payton’s favorites are Imma Be by Black Eyed Peas and S&M by Rhianna… I’ll take my Mother of the Year award for letting her listen to one of the most inappropriate songs for children 🙂
My daughter Sophie, 13 months old, will dance to anything. Even to the telephone ringing! But, at 11 months old, she discovered her inner rhythm listening to “Freak the Freak Out” by Victoria Justice. Here’s the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKgvuw1tvZs
Bad Things (True Blood intro song) is my daughter’s favorite to dance to. The first song she ever danced to (as a teeny baby) was the theme from Sons of Anarchy.
Oh, yes. We watch wildly inappropriate shows around our kid.
i take it back, i want to be entered to win, i could use some free diapers to give to my friends as gifts who are having/had babies recently! see my comment and bonus video above! 🙂
That video got me oddly pumped to dance.
Vivian likes to dance to the theme song from Bobby’s Balloon House on Baby First TV. Just typing that made me feel like a loser. I really need to introduce my kid to some more hip tunes.
We don’t really listen to ‘our’ music when our daughter is around. Mostly silly kid songs, and lullabies. (we bought a ton of the CD’s) But out of those songs, she LOVES the itsy bitsy spider.
Mazzy cracks me up!
Lukasz LOVES LMFAO’s “Party Rock.” At the most random times he’ll literally blurt out, “Every day I’m shuffling.” Though in his toddler-speak it sounds more like, “Ev day I shupplin.”
But he doesn’t need any music when he is told to just shake his booty 🙂
Morgan loves dancing to “Club Can’t Handle Me” by Flo Rida. We bought this dancing skeleton from Walgreens for Halloween that plays this song and she thinks it’s great!
My little Monster will dance to just about anything but, much to my chagrin, he seems partial to my husband’s AWFUL death metal/techno/i don’t know what “music.” I couldn’t tell you a song title because THEY ALL SOUND LIKE EXACTLY THE SAME SONG. 🙁
Also? The Monster would rather twist his own leg off than submit to a diaper change. We need some of these diapers.
Oh and here’s Lukasz rockin’ out to Travie McCoy & Bruno Mars’ “Billionaire”
http://youtu.be/UttVdVf7iL0
ANY Yo Gabba Gabba song! But especially the hold still song!
Nick jams out to Ok Go! He’ll sing and dance and play his guitar like it’s the only thing there is to do! Cracks me up!
Mazzy dropping her milk cup to dance in the first second made me lol. So cute! Warren loves anything with a beat – but his favorite is Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”….video to follow!
My kids have somewhat different tastes in music. My daughter who is 7 will dance to anything with a good beat. She’s a girly-girl like that. Oh and she’ll watch herself in a mirror while doing it. If I could pick a song it would be Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain.” I kid, I kid. The toddler though, he gets embarassed to dance and I’m not sure why. He wants to play Just Dance for the Wii with me, but will only dance behind me and get shy when I turn around. His fave? “Surfin’ Bird”
Warren’s dancing video: http://youtu.be/v0PmGpPpWNE
Ella’s current fave is ring around the rosy. I actually wish that song was longer!
Attie will dance to just about anything so long as mommy is NOT dancing. I am not allowed to sing or dance, and any attempts are met with shrieking crying and general disgust. Her favorite right now though is probably Yellow Submarine or Wheels on the Bus.
My little one loves “Single Ladies” by Beyonce. She just goes bat crazy. Unfortunately she pales in comparision to Mrs. B.
Oh man. EB loves dancing as much as goldfish. She gets rowdy to Talib Kweli, especially “Get By.” She has great taste. I’m a FB fan with my personal account and with my blog account. Double duty. Too bad our girls live across the country; they could throw down in a dance off.
Great dance moves! Mine is into “Calling All the Monsters”. We’re not over Halloween yet. I am sooo coveting those diapers right now. I waste at least an hour a day trying to change diapers.
The only dancing videos I have of Mara are while she is naked, and somehow I don’t think those would be appropriate entries. Maybe we’ll have something for your next giveaway.
My two-year-old Miles loves to dance to LMFAO. He even got an “Every day I’m shufflin'” shirt for his birthday. (Though I really don’t want him to “wiggle, wiggle, wiggle” like they do in their new video.) Oh, and he’ll request Lady Gaga if he’s in a dancing mood.
Here’s one of his YouTube videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PqIjzOJHGI&feature=youtu.be
Too flippin funny! Mazzy has some great moves momma 🙂
Gavin busts a move to so many things, but lately, he’s dug deep and pulled out some awesome ballet moves for an insurance commercial on TV. And he runs to the kitchen to dance so he can slide on the tile floor!
My son loves to dance to “You’ve got a friend in me” from Toy Story. It is so cute!
My oldest son, now 12, is a die-hard Michael Jackson fan. I’ve sent you a link to his Youtube video doing his rendition of the Billie Jean dance. He’s not in diapers so not entering the contest (although it’s a darn good one) but thought I’d share and embarrass the crap out of him anyway.
Oops… forgot the link. Here you go!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KD0IgK-muM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Oh my goodness, she’s so cute. I especially love the sideways boot-scootin’ move.
My kids’ favorite song to dance to is off the of the CD they got at bible school this summer. It’s called “Shake It Up” and it’s extra super catchy. I might dance to it, too.
My almost 2 yr old LOVES music and loves to dance and he KNOWS what he likes… We will sit on the computer and pick songs to listen to and if he doesn’t like it, he will let us know! lol His all time Fave HAS to be Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO, where he even tries to do some breakdance moves… He will throw himself on the floor sideways and put one leg in the air and he also puts his head on the floor and tries to kick his legs in the air! It’s too funny to watch 🙂
My three toddlers love to dance to Yo Gabba Gabba’s super music friend show.
I like you on FB(Kelly D Saver) and my kids like dancing to the Fresh Beat Band, like the song “Great Day”.
Both of my kids (3yo and 1oy) LOVE Duffy’s version of Mercy. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I will see if I can video it.
Both my 3yo and 1yo LOVE Duffy’s version of Mercy. The moment I turn it on they run to the cd player and start dancing.
I’m already a facebook fan. 🙂
Josephine loves to dance to all kinds of songs, but her current favorites are “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Single Ladies!”
Mazzy looks like a natural born dancer on the dance floor. =o) It makes me giggle to watch little ones dance, they are too cute.
My girls absolutely love dancing to all the music on their Nick Jr. DVD’s. But right now they are pretty much in love with “Party Rock” by LMFAO.
Thanks so much for a chance.
my kids are big fans of “im sticking with you” by the velvet underground. and yes, mommy couldn’t be happier about that choice.
and my kids dancin up a storm: http://youtu.be/ZeKwzb_nRTs
My daughter’s favorite song to dance to is “What I Am” by Will.i.am. She even plays the air drums.
Rebecca loves to dance to anything really, but she has a special place in her heart for the Buzz Buzz song by Laurie Berkner band.
I have to video submissions, the first is my favorite “watch when I’m having a bad day” video when Rebecca was dancing to Binghamton University A Capella in Central Park:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOIxCFZeSZg
and the second was from just last weekend:

Ok, I must say, if Mazzy and Lil Diva were to meet, they would totally tear it up on the dance floor.
What program did you use to do the compilation?
I did a horrible one with windows movie maker when the Tackler was a baby and had to dance everytime Scorpian’s “Rock You Like a Hurricane” came on. I cannot seem to locate which computer has this montage right now.
Lil Diva will dance to any end credits of movies, LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem, and most techno songs.
My mother actually captured both children “dancing” (when spinning was my son’s preferred method, thus my daughter had to mimic as she was only 12 months old) a year ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uknbhE0mAl8
And of course I’m already a fan on facebook.
I’ll try to find the montage of my son…
unfortunately, every time my son wears these he pees right out of them. seriously, once i put him in them and he stood up and peed and PEE JUST RAN OUT ONTO TO THE FLOOR like Reagan in the Exorcist, or as if he had no diapers on at all. And I was SO excited about the Huggies when they first came out. i am about to donate a huge bag of them and i fear you might be doing the same!
I am a Facebook Fan!
My daughter likes to Dance to Ring Around The Rosey!
my 4 year old loves anything by lady gaga and watches glee with me and my 13 month old loves laurie berkner
not sure if this will work, but here’s the embed code of my daughter years ago dancing to the hokey pokey…gotta love how she names the body parts as she goes along lol…
ok, it didn’t work, here’s the link to it on my facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/messages/#!/video/video.php?v=1057023059757
and a couple more cute ones of her too:

My 14 month old daughter like Groovin’ to “I like to move it” by Reel 2 Real. She just keeps jumping and turning in circles.
My 9-month old, Ella’Lin dances mostly to anything hip-hop or rap… I credit it to the massive amounts of live hip hop shows we went to while I was pregnant. She’s not quite walking yet, but that doesn’t stop this girl from bouncing… in fact, all the bouncing, I’m pretty sure is what’s keeping her from WALKING. I’ll try to catch a video and post it.

My 14th month old loves, loves, loves “Old McDonald Had a Farm”- although when she was an infant, the swaying beats of Bob Marley soothed her when I could not!
My kids love to dance to um, I can’t think of the name of it. We have a CD of Mexican dance music. They love most of the songs on there.
My little ones (all boys) love to dance to Black eyed peas “My Humps” and “The Time (Dirty bit). I’m sure they will appreciate those videos when they’re older.
And here’s a video of my 6 year old, not in diapers- but he’s dancing for his baby brother! Does playing dance dance revolution count as dancing?

Two year old, Seth’s, current favorite is Cake’s rendition of Mahna Mahna (Muppet theme).

My kids will dance to anything! We have music on all day!
My son has always loved reggae music (see the following link, but his recent favorite is club music. It’s hilarious to see this little guy jam out like one of the Night at the Roxbury guys!
Here’s my little rasta baby!

my child’s favorite song to dance to is the barbie girl song lol
Currently my kid’s favorite song to dance to is the Cha-Cha Slide. And honestly, though the song initially annoys the crap outta me, I can really get into it too. Lol, it is fun to dance with them.
This is my son Aiden dancing with his dad at the Imagination Station in EPCOT. It was a couple years ago, but the most recent video we have of him getting down. He is the one in the jean shorts and blue short sleeve shirt. His dad is the one in the black t-shirt.

We have been using them for over a month now and haven’t had any problems. Could the size be too big?
Also- the coupons are for any Huggies brand diaper so no worries there!
