Getting to Win Win

Back in November I mentioned I was off to LA for a fun project.  Well, the final product is complete and I am so excited to share.  PopSugar Studios, Circle of Moms and TruMoo chocolate milk invited me to work along side Katie Hurley of Practical Parenting and Lori Jackson of Best Family Traditions to film a short documentary on issues we face as parents.  Katie was our parenting expert while I discussed picky eating and Lori discussed technology use.

The entire experience was so much fun and definitely a bucket list item.  We spent the day at the PopSugar Studios in Culver City filming and then the director and camera crew made a visit to our homes in order to get some live shots with the children.  It was so much fun to include them in the project and they loved that they got to drink an unlimited amount of chocolate milk while trying to get the perfect shot.  The final product just launched on Circle of Moms on January 31st and I am now able to share it with you!

Two things I learned from this? 
One, I liked being in front of the camera way too much. 
Two, I definitely need a makeup artist, hairstylist and lighting professional with me at all times. 

Thank you PopSugar, Circle of Moms and TruMoo for including me in this fun project!

I hate to ask but.......

I need your help!


I feel extremely fortunate that for the second year in a row, I was nominated for Circle of Moms "Top 25 So Cal Mom Blogs of 2012".  


Last year, thanks to all of you, I made the Circle of Moms "Top 25 So Cal Mom Blogs of 2011" list and was shocked.  I could not believe all the support you had all given me by taking the time to vote.  That, or you were harassed by me for votes on a daily basis and you finally caved.  Either way, I was extremely appreciative.


Well, with a new year comes new harassment.


I really do have an issue with asking people to vote for me.  It is awkward, shameless and I am sure quite annoying.  In fact, I really would not do it if it was not for the huge competitor in me.  What can I say.  You dangle a competition in front of me and I am all in.  So here it goes.


I am asking you to vote for me.


There, I said it.


All you need to do is click on this pretty pink button and it will take you to the voting page.  It is that simple.


And did I mention that you can vote once every 24 hours?  So, if you are a really big fan of the site, feel free to vote everyday if you want.  No one is going to stop you.

Is this the last you are going to hear about this?  No.  But I promise that you will only see this little button at the bottom of the posts and everything else will return to it's regular scheduled programming.  

Thank you so much in advance!!

You Guys Rock!

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Circle of Moms "Top 25 So Cal Mom Blogs"!!  I was honored to simply be nominated and never thought I would tie for 12th after blogging for only 4 months.  It is due 100% to all of you who voted for me every day and put me on the list!

Now I get to answer some questions, take a photo and then will be featured in their upcoming publication, The RoundUp, which I will obviously share with you.

Again, thank you so much for supporting me on this.  Blogging has become such a fun hobby for me and I am so happy to see that you all are enjoying it!

This is it!!!!

Okay Friends!  This is it!  The LAST day to vote for the Circle of Moms "Top 25 So Cal Mom Blogs".  I have been hanging in there but some of these blogs are coming up fast.  I need everyone's support to vote today and help keep me in the Top 25!  You have until 5pm pacific to place your vote.  You do not know how much I appreciate all the support.  It means the world to me!

Can You Spare Me A Vote?

Notice anything different about my page?  There is a pretty little pink badge on the right that is saying very sweetly...

VOTE FOR ME!!!!

I have been nominated for the Circle of Mom's "Top 25 SoCal Mom Blogs" and since I am pretty competitive (blame my Type A personality), I would LOVE to make the list!  All you need to do is click on the button above and vote.  You can vote once a day until August 11, 2011.  I know you are all fabulous and will but don't worry, I will make sure to send out reminders.

Thank you everyone!
