I'm a full-time mummy

Every day I am thankful to God for blessing me with continuous opportunities for reviews and giveaways of awesome, awesome products! This time, I would like to share with you guys on this awesome product I get to review. So here goes my review for the "CityGrips":

About the company:

"CityGrips was born purely out of necessity. It all began one hot summer day when it became unbearable to push the stroller barehanded. Grossed out by the sticky germ infested grip came the idea for a grip cover that was soft, durable, washable and stylish."

Why use it?
* Protect your hands, keeping them clean & comfy.
* Defend against dirt, sweat and grime buildup.
* Prevent passing germs to your child.
* Towel grip covers absorb sweat.
* Keep it simple with easy zip-on, zip-off & machine-wash.
* Protect your handlebar grips from wear & tear.
* Customize your stroller with stylish patterns.
* Find your stroller in a crowd.

When I first contemplated on whether I should write in to request for a review opportunity, the thought of how does this thing work did crossed my mind... I mean, how the heck am I going to put on the cover onto our double handlebar stroller? And when the product arrives and I checked it out front, back, left and right, then I got it!

And yes, I even checked out the insides and took pictures of it as well to show you guys how it works! Just slot in the grip covers and close the Velcro tab together! Easy peasy!

The material is oh-so-comfy to the touch, I seriously love caressing holding the stroller's handle now! 

The Velcro tape stays strong and the grip cover is sewn beautifully, even my MIL commented the nice sewing work of the covers!

I also love the design I chose (which is ZigZag Color - Double Bar) as the colors are very eye catching and it's so easy to spot our stroller even from far! Ahhhh.... love it!

Seriously people... I've been looking for excuses to go out more often just so I can use the stroller and be seen with the oh-so-chic-and-awesome handlegrip!

Love love love love love it! You really should get it if you have a stroller too!

Sorry for the shitty word. Hope I did not scare you away from reading my blog. You may exit now if you are not comfortable in reading topics like this.

Don't worry, though I do have albums of Ben and Alyson's poop pictures (I kid you not!), I will not post it up for the world to see. I'm saving them for the day when they become famous in future and hopefully one of those awkward gross pictures could fetch us millions or gazillions of dollars when I sell them off to some famous tabloids or something! (kidding!)

Anyway, ever since I became a mummy in March 2009, I've been doing most of the shitty jobs - yeah... when I say shitty jobs, I meant cleaning up the crapiola aka shit.

Of course, I have to credit my dear hubby cos he definitely does his part during my confinement (we did our own DIY confinement where hubby became my confinement lady) but after that, most of the cleaning up job goes to me.

As we have yet to potty train Ben when he wants to poop, the honorary job still goes on... to me! Ben would rather stand and poop in his diapers and when he's done, he'll call out to dearest mummy to clean up his mess.

And of course, with 'IMPORTANT' job like this, I tried few times to delegate it to my hubby. So there are times, I'll tell Ben to ask daddy to clean him up and Ben will go 'Nooooo, I want mummy dooooooooo!' Arghhhhhh!!

Just the other day, I repeated the same thing, telling him to ask daddy to do and Ben this time goes 'Daddy not powerful!'... oh-kayyy... I got it... it takes a powerful person to do this job!

I feel so honored...

Does your child have a favorite person to clean up their poop?

And have you ever tried passing the job over to your spouse?
