A brilliant idea for an invention struck me during a recent attempt at meditation. As soon as I settled onto my cushion and closed my eyes, my dog ambled over and decided my lap was the perfect place for a nap. If you’ve never experienced this delightful disruption, let me tell you; it’s tough to concentrate on your breathing when your inner thigh is being used as a makeshift pillow. No matter how many times I gently nudged him away, he returned, tail wagging and eyes wide. Perhaps this was my true test of tranquility: achieving Zen while managing the world’s most affectionate pet.
Just as I finally got rid of the furry distraction, my four-year-old burst out of her room and plopped herself right on top of me. Initially surprised, I quickly grew frustrated as I attempted to dislodge her. She responded by throwing herself onto the floor and wailing.
And wailing.
And wailing.
That’s when the idea for The Mom Bubble was born. This invention would not only be invaluable during meditation but also serve countless other purposes, making it essential for every mother.
Say Goodbye to Interruptions
Ever wish you could have a phone conversation without interruptions? The Mom Bubble is your solution. No more hearing, “I’ll let you go; you sound busy,” from your friend or family member. Just the other day, while chatting with my sister, she asked, “Did you just go poopie?” I nearly responded, only to realize she was not addressing me. The Mom Bubble would help prevent those awkward moments.
Protection from Messes
As a parent, there’s no escaping the farewell leg-hug from your toddler when you’re about to step out in freshly laundered slacks. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot the evidence of your child’s latest adventure smeared across your clothing before leaving the house. With The Mom Bubble, those days of being an unwilling human tissue are over. Now you can step out confidently, free from the remnants of sticky fingers and messy faces.
Projectile vomit? No issue! Watch those unfortunate chunks slide harmlessly down the exterior of The Mom Bubble while you remain secure within its confines. Plus, the unpleasant smells that usually make you run to the bathroom will stay far away.
Odor Protection
Speaking of odors: While enjoying a quiet evening of television, my youngest decided my lap was the perfect spot to cuddle—right before she let one rip. It’s no surprise that pink eye outbreaks have been rampant in my home, but The Mom Bubble will keep you safe from such mishaps.
Not only will The Mom Bubble shield you from your child’s toots, but it also provides protection from your pet’s less-than-pleasant emissions. Picture yourself relaxing while your family coughs and gasps, yet you enjoy the fresh air inside your bubble.
Reclaim Your Space
Do you have a little one who loves to sneak into your bed at night? With The Mom Bubble, you can finally reclaim your side of the mattress, no longer clinging to the edge for dear life as your child sprawls out. The elbows and knees that used to disturb your slumber will find a new target, allowing you the restful sleep you deserve.
Do you feel overwhelmed by the constant need for personal space? Just because your child used to be a part of you doesn’t mean they have the right to cling to you like a baby monkey. The Mom Bubble will let you communicate, “I love you, but please keep your distance,” without uttering a word.
Peace and Quiet
Now, I know you might be thinking that what you truly desire is a moment of peace and quiet. Equipped with advanced noise-cancellation technology, The Mom Bubble ensures you won’t have to endure another ear-splitting tantrum. You’ll quickly understand that allowing them to cry it out is a valid parenting tactic when you don’t have to hear it. Plus, your little ones will soon realize that their pleas for candy at 6:30 a.m. fall on deaf ears when you’re nestled inside The Mom Bubble.
Additionally, think about the independence your children will gain when they can no longer ask you to fetch their cup of water that is literally right in front of them. Imagine the peace of mind that comes from knowing The Mom Bubble is as much an investment in their growth as it is for your sanity.
