Gorgeous Grandma Photo Contest with Earth Mama Angel Baby!

When I was a kid, I envied other kids who had grandmas. As a young child, I only had one grandparent and she lived in Harlem. While we made the trip to NYC often to see her, she spoke little English and I never really connected with her. She died when I was 10.



My mom, on the other hand, was a fantastic grandma. She adored her four grandchildren and, if it's possible, adored her great-grandchildren even more . . . even when they didn't want a group picture!

Then there's me. I wasn't too sure about this whole grandma thing when it first began. I wasn't like other women I know who looked forward to having grandchildren the way children look forward to Christmas. Nope. I could wait. 

But then it happened. I'd like to say I magically transformed into a doting mess, slobbering all over my first granddaughter and showing pictures of her to strangers at the grocery store. But that wouldn't be the truth. Even though I was there in the room as she was born, there was a missing connection somehow. Truthfully, it took a few months for the "grandma mode" to set in. 

Now that it has, however, I must admit, I'm loving it. I absolutely adore my grandbabies. And, of course, I want only what's best for them. That's why I introduced my daughters to Earth Mama Angel Baby products right from the start. And they love them, too. 

Yesterday, as they were getting ready for church, four-and-a-half year old, Laura, asked her mommy to spray some Happy Baby Spray on her. Even she knows a good thing when she's got it!

So, since EMAB and GG are collaborating to bring you this fun contest, I thought it would be appropriate for me to share some pics of me with my grandchildren. After all, it is a Gorgeous Grandma contest and let's face it -- the most gorgeous grandmas are those whose faces light up whenever their grandbabies are around! I know mine does.

So... head over to the Earth Mama Angel Baby Facebook page with your own pictures of your favorite grandmas playing with the kids. Upload the photo(s) and enter to win! Not only will you win something for your little one, but GRANDMA WINS, TOO! 

Here's what's in the prize package:

A Little Something For Baby: 

• Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash 1.67oz.
• Angel Baby Bottom Balm 1oz.
• Angel Baby Lotion 2oz.
• Angel Baby Oil 1 oz

AND . . .
  
Grandma Gets Some Too:

• Happy Mama Hand to Toe Wash 5.3 fl. oz.
• Happy Mama Spray 4 fl. oz.
• Mama-To-Be Tea Sampler
• Natural Stretch Oil 4 fl. oz.
• Earth Mama Body Butter 4 oz.
• Mint Herbal Lip Balm

Now we don't want to confuse you. We know, or at least assume that Grandma isn't a mama-to-be. But that doesn't mean she won't love the tea sampler. I know I do. And even though her stretch marks have long ago become part of the natural topography of her body, the Natural Stretch Oil will keep her skin supple, soft, and (dare I say) sexy. Good thing she'll have some lip balm to keep those lips kissable!

Contest ends Tuesday night (7/23/13). Winners chosen at random.
