Celebrating National Napping Day Today with a Protect-A-Bed Giveaway

Today is National Napping Day! WOO HOO!

Can you believe it; an entire day dedicated to celebrating the art of napping? Trust me, as a SAHM with a 3 year old running rampant, there is an “art” to napping. I try to grab my nap when Wild Man is sleeping or when hubster is watching him.
Napping Wild Man & Sandy
“You nap?” you ask shocked and amazed. “As often as possible” is my response! I figure if the great minds like Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Edison took daily naps while producing some of the world’s most significant works then who am I to knock it. I look at it like it is recharging my batteries. As parents, we don’t always get a full 8 hours rest at night. Most of us don’t have time or the cash for a full scale weekend getaway or even the money to pamper ourselves with a mani/pedi. Taking a nap, even a 5 minute power nap, is a frugal way to make you feel like a million bucks. After all, it’s FREE! Besides, the more rest I get, the better I feel which results in me being a better parent. A win for both me and my family!

To celebrate National Napping Day, I’ve teamed up once again with Protect-A-Bed to offer you some great prize opportunities.

Protect-A-Bed Twitter Party

Today only, Protect-A-Bed is hosting a Twitter contest. They want to know the funniest and/or strangest places you’ve gotten your snooze on.

The prizes: Premium Pillow Protectors randomly given to the folks who tweet their story.

Entry is easy. Simply follow @Protect_A_Bed on twitter and tweet your story in 140 characters or less  with the hashtag #nappingday throughout the day Monday.

*No purchase is necessary but you must have a Twitter account. Sign up for a free Twitter account.

premium matress coverWait! I have more great news.

Protect-A-Bed has generously offered a Queen Sized Premium Mattress Protector to one you. The suggested retail value is $79.99 for this item. If you remember, I reviewed this same product last spring. It is fantastic, has held up very well over the past year and I still love it.
 This came in REALLY handy when we were hit with the stomach virus after Christmas. I spared you the trauma of reading about it on the blog but me and Wild Man were piled on my bed for several days making mad runs to the bathroom. I’ll simply say, there was a few times, I am SOOO glad I had the Premium Mattress Cover on my bed! Definitely worth $80!

Naps in the springtime are fun for me because we moved a recliner into the carport. Now I can nap ghetto style in the fresh air!

My favorite naps were with my son when he was a baby. I would lay down on the couch or bed and lay him on top of me. I miss those days!

When my son was a toddler, he would occasionally fall asleep in his highchair, while eating. A couple of times, he landed face first into his food :)

My favorite nap stories are from college when my roommate and I would take naps in our bunkbeds on Sunday afternoons. We always intended to only sleep for a little bit, but would wake up when it was dark! (Sorry, no photo!)
