There is the Tupperware Party, Pampered Chef Party, Candle Party and even the Pleasure Party.
Who knew there is now a Gerber House Party? Yes, Gerber, as in the baby food people.
I am on a mailing list for Gerber, mostly to receive money saving coupons for baby food. Today I rec’d an email for a Gerber House Party (www.houseparty.com/gerber).
I laughed out loud.
The email shows a happy woman playing with her baby with the tag line “Learn. Laugh. Share.” It then states that you can share the latest in baby nutrition and development and learn the benefits of DHA for your baby. Lastly it also includes what all partygoers will receive.
I’ll admit the some of the give-a-ways are good – baby food, baby cereal, and a soft bite spoon. But then they list: Anything for Baby(tm) button and a feeding plan document.
Who wears buttons these days? I haven’t seen a button since the one that came with my soccer photo package in 1978. Children of the 70’s and 80’s will remember those. We made our parents wear them on their windbreakers or on their caps.
But I digress.
Call me a bad mother, but sitting around talking about the benefits of DHA and the latest feeding plan that Gerber recommends in not a party! Yawn!
Instead get a group of woman and add alcohol, food and no babies, and that’s a party! Especially a new mother who hasn’t slept through the night since before her baby was born. Since before she was pregnant.
Yes, bring on the wine and girly chatter and maybe even the latest toys to spice up your sex life, and there’s a party!
I’d bet money that she’d feel a hell of a lot better after that party than a Gerber House Party.

I will bring the wine as long as it's not a Gerber Party!! Although it might be a good idea to call it a Gerber party so Husband will think you are learning how to be a better mother, and really, it's a Pleasure Party in disguise...sign me up, nothin' crazier than a group of boozed up hot mama's!!!
