Changing Baby? You’ll thank your lucky stars for the most innovative change pad I’ve ever tried – and I’ve had 4 babies so I’ve been around the block a few times in the diaper arena. Meet the Patemm Pad, you’ll be such fast friends. The first thing I loved about the Patemm Pad was the circular disk comes in such attractive patterns of vinyl oil cloth (I loved the Jack Martin for my son Noah). The pad then smartly folds up into a convenient tote you can take anywhere. I only had to look inside the Patemm to find true magic. Not only did they make the pad large enough for baby changing or a clean play area, but Patemm has added spectacular pockets all around to hold all your baby essentials in just one piece! Lug that luggage no longer, simply stock your Patemm Pad with diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and a few toys and you’re ready to set out with baby for a new adventure.

Patemm Pads are also all the rage with celebrity moms like Courtney Cox Arquette and daughter Coco. Get a Patemm Pad and be the coolest mama on the block! Well unless you live on my block, that title is now taken. “”Daria

** Giveaway!! Patemm Pad has provided a beautiful change pad for one lucky listener. We’ll draw for this prize at the end of the week and contact the winner via email. The winner will have 24 hours to claim their prize or a new winner will be drawn.
