Connect, Multitask & Get Stuff Done {Giveaway: VTech Multi-Tasking Phone} CLOSED

This giveaway is now closed. The winner, chosen by Random.org, is Caroline Mellis. Thank you so much to all who entered!

My hands are always busy. I’m brushing little girls hair, putting away dishes, cooking dinner, changing diapers, giving hugs, typing, turning book pages, washing mirrors, vacuuming… you get the picture.

This week, my hands were busy attempting to make pie crusts. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, it’s possible you have seen my 10 failed attempts to create a good pie shell. I took helpful advice from everyone as to why my pie crust might have been folding in and collapsing. No matter what I tried (freeze the butter, chill the flour, use pie weights, crimp the crust over the edge, etc. etc. etc) my results were the same..not good.

After one such frustrated tweet, my phone rang. Hands covered in flour and butter from working the dough, I normally would have just skipped the call. When my VTech phone system caller ID announced it was my mom, I knew I wanted to answer it. Luckily, I had on my hands free cordless headset that goes along with my VTech LS6475-3 phone. I didn’t miss the opportunity to chat with my mom (and to hear her great advice about my pie crust efforts) because I was able to talk with her free of using my hands to hold the handset.

We are definitley busy… you are too. It’s a fact of life right now for most of us. Multi-tasking is the only way to stay on top of things and survive. The VTech Multi-Tasking Phone System let’s you keep doing whatever is on your to-do list all the while enabling you to stay in touch with friends and loved ones via phone.

    I think it would be a lot easier to make multiple calls to my family and good friends while I’m cleaning or cooking, or giving the dog a bath. Great phone!

  3. Daryl says

    It would be a great help to me hands free to relieve the pain in my shoulder from cradling the phone

  12. Roberta Niver says

    Loveeeee this! What a great design, thanks to VTech! I love your site. Thanks for your inspiration!

    Multitasking…are you kidding? I need all the help I can get! Mom of two, full time job and a side business. Please help me organize and have a free hand V-tech!

  14. Rena says

    This could help me bake and cook while getting some phone calls done! Perfect for any busy mom!!

  15. Susan H. says

    I am always multi-tasking. My mama is 75 and likes to call and talk a lot. Plus I have a few long winded friends and cousins who call. I like the idea of being able to do other things while I’m talking (or most of the time listening) when they call. It will cut down on the frustration of not being able to get things done for being on the phone so long. Thanks for the chance to win.

  18. Sean conn says

    Would definitely be a lot easier to make multiple calls to folks while I’m taking care of the children, cleaning, etc…..great for multi-tasking indeed! Love this giveaway.

  21. Alina says

    Oh MY!!! Would love to have this neat gadget. I think I would be able to perform a number of tasks while still being able to chat with friends and family.

  23. Danielle says

    Between 2 kids, 2 cats, 1 dog, 2 gerbels and 1 husband I always wished for an extra hand! But now I will wish for a VTech!!

  26. Naomi Dice says

    I think it is a great idea. Like you I am very busy. I work full time out of the home. So my baking time is limited, and anytime I can do more than one thing at once, I do.

  27. Natalie says

    It would help me for all of the reasons that you talked about in your post. I am constantly moving my hands, especially in the kitchen. I would love to be able to talk on the phone and cook without getting a crick in my neck. 🙂

  30. Beth says

    What a fun new toy! I am a phone-answering personal assistant by day, and a NEW food-bloggin’ chatty Kathy by night… I am always on the phone, always doing a million things… this new gadget would be just what I need!

  32. Stacy R. says

    I work a zillion hours a day and try to be a mom too. I NEED anything that eases my pain and keeps my hands free!

  35. Jen at The Three Little Piglets says

    Everytime I sit down at my desk to make a phone call, I find my teenagers have run off with my phone AGAIN! It would be so nice to have another one around so that I didn’t have to spend 30 minutes searching for one every time I wanted to make a phone call!

  36. Patty T says

    This phone would really help my husband and I because we work from home. It is always hard trying to talk to clients and shuffle around papers or work on the computer while on the phone and this would be a lifesaver!

  39. Psychgrad says

    This would be awesome! I have a running joke with Giz (my mom) that I only call when I’m doing dishes. It’s kind of true — she’s my dishwashing entertainment. Except, it kills my neck to keep the phone cradled between my shoulder and ear. I would love a hands-free phone.

  40. Cara says

    With my two wild boys and my phone circa 1950 this would be so handy! I would be Mrs. Multitasker 🙂

  45. Cathy W says

    It never fails, when I’m up to my elbows in flour (baking) the phone will ring. this would be a life saver for sure..

  52. Natalie Shmigelsky says

    The ear piece would allow me to have my hands free so I can talk and do whatever! Awesome giveaway! nlevdan3 at yahoo dot com

  55. Kari Fortner says

    Oh my goodness, I have six children and a house to run. How WOULDN’T this phone help. Nothing worse then getting a crick in the neck trying to do dishes/fold laundry while talking on the phone with other adults.

  58. Kim B. says

    I LOVE the idea of hands free! Imagine, talking on the phone & folding laundry, doing dishes, etc

  59. Traci P says

    Oh how I would love this! I bake…a lot! And I always have to stop what I’m doing when talking on the phone. However, my mom has been looking for more than a year for the perfect phone/headset so she can bake and talk at the same time…so…I think mom would have to get this if I were lucky enough to win!

  63. Robin says

    I have VTech phones but not “the multi-tasking” ones. Hands free would work great for me–better than speaker phone that I use and most people hate.

  65. samW says

    oh this would be so nice….our phone is dying, so we need one, but than to get such a nice one…love the to do list – yes, this baby would help me out!

  68. Sandy says

    Due to health issues holding the phone and doing anything else is not possible-this would be great

  72. Althea says

    Wow…it looks like delicious and nutritious..its good to hear that many women now are very responsible not only in home but also in other works…keep it up;-)

    Thanks for the posts….

  75. Sharon says

    The hands-free feature would be wonderful. I’m a multitasker and would love to be able to fold laundry, work in the kitchen, or whatever while making and receiving phone calls. I would also love the Voice Announce Caller ID feature. Thanks so much!

  81. Holly says

    I just need a new phone, and an upgrade to a hands free model would be great. It always seems that the phone rings when I’m right in the middle of something, so I can keep doing whatever I’m doing and not hurt my neck while I’m cradling it.

  82. Wendy Flick says

    Done – I so need this wonderful phone – it is the only way to function in this wacky weird and wonderful world….

  84. cocobean says

    I always feel guilty when I’m on the phone – so I use that time to try to clean things that I can do quietly. A 20-minute phone call can actually get most of my “chores” done for the day!!! This phone – with the hands-free – would protect my shoulder from getting that pinched nerve that I wind up with trying to hold the phone with my ear and shoulder!!!

  85. Debbi says

    The ability to have a hands-free conversation would be so helpful! That’s mostly why I never talk on the phone…too many other things to do and not enough hands!

  87. Sarah says

    This would be so beneficial for my family of 5 busy bees!! The phones in our house are always having technical difficulties. This would be the perfect addition, especially with the holidays approaching. It’s perfect for cooking meals and still being able to get things done!

  88. Andrea L says

    3 kids + 2 hands = Need for phone that doesn’t need hands!!

    This is why I need a V-Tech multitasking phone system. 😉

  90. April was in CT now CA says

    What a great idea. I always put off calling family (we live on opposite coasts and the phone is our only form of contact) because having to sit and talk seems to be wasting time. I could use the headset to do busywork AND catch up with family!

  91. lulujohnboy says

    I have carpal tunnel in my wrists and also have fibromyalgia, so it is hard for me to use a phone at times. This would be great. Handsfree, yea !!!
