One Hundred Dollars a Month

If you love your mom and your mom loves to garden, listen up. I know just the thing to get her for Mother’s Day: A Roo Apron.  You might remember them from when the peeps over at Roo Aprons sent me one of their amazing garden aprons to try a few years ago. Turns out that for an avid gardener like myself, it was the garden tool I’d been missing in my life {it really is a tool. Their slogan, “It’s not a garment, it’s a tool!” even says so!}. I LOVED it and started wearing it every time I harvested.

So what exactly is a Roo? Glad you asked! It’s a comfy yet heavy duty apron that will help you gather weeds, apples, fresh garden veggies with ease because you’ll have a huge “pouch” to fill {just like a kangaROO. Get it?!}. Simply put on the Roo, fill the pouch to the max with whatever you’d normally have to juggle in your hands and the cylinder chute allows you to deposit your collection with ease. Pull the cords and your harvest is easily transported and unloaded with ease.

This first time I used my Roo, I was at an apple orchard, and it was a life saver! I put the apron on and loaded it up. It was comfortable even with some cumbersome, heavy cargo. The straps weren’t digging into my shoulders at all. I have used it so many times since that first time, and I love it a little more each time. Even if I’m not harvesting anything, I can fill the pouch with tools and have everything I need at my fingertips!Here are some things I love about the Roo Apron:

• It’s made from industrial strength cotton so it’s tough as nails.
• It has a water resistant nylon storage pouch so nothing will leak through to your clothes or poke you through the apron.
• The plastic hooks allow for easy release of the pouch.
• It has self adjusting straps that make for a comfortable fit for all sizes.
• I can throw the dirty apron into the washing machine with all my other laundry!
• The Roo is very affordable and will make a perfect addition to your Mother’s Day wish list!
