A Mother's Balancing Act

White Trash Mom Book Giveaway!!!

It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but I wanted to get in a quick post here to tell you to hightail it on over to our White Trash Mom site, so you can put it your "two cents" on what your favorite volunteer job is. Hey, even if your kids aren't in school yet - or if you don't even have any kids...whatever. Do you like free stuff?

Do you want to "earn" a copy of the new, hot off the presses White Trash Mom Handbook for FREE?

Then, "cast your vote" by commenting on my post on School Volunteerism - It's Contest #3 in our Book Giveaway. I have been remiss in telling everyone on this site about our book giveaways over at my other site! SO - hop on over there, and tell us what your favorite volunteer gig is and why. The best answer gets a FREE copy of our new book, which came out TODAY!

Well, what are you waiting for??? Get a move on!!! What have you got to lose??? CLICK!

BlogHer, Here We Come!

Ready or not, here we come! Mostly, it's "not" ready from this end, but I've decided to take the "who cares" approach to the fast=approaching BlogHer conference (T-17 if you count pre-parties...) and move forward. I've poured myself my favorite homemade cocktail, settled in to type you one last blog entry before departing my humble abode at the frightening hour of 6 am, and that's all she wrote...rather literally.

I have to say that normally, I can't enjoy a trip until my car has left the driveway. I always figure that by then, whatever I've forgotten is water under the bridge. Somehow, this time is different. I'm already enjoying it! I don't know if it's because we're arriving so early (my writing partner, Michelle Lamar, from White Trash Mom and I, that is) and I know we'll have plenty of time to shop in Union Hill or what. The shopping part thrills me for sure. There's an H&M within walking distance of the Westin. I know that. Yahoo!

Ah, well. Any way around it. I'm loose. Maybe it's first-timer's forgiveness. You can't be expected to remember something you didn't know you were supposed to bring, right? Especially if you didn't read any of the pre-conference materials that they emailed you all of 1 1/2 days in advance. I asked my Big Strong Man (BSM) to print off the files for me to save time, and they were over 50 pages. Wow! Just a little light reading for the plane...Yowza!

Hope to see many of you there. If anyone is reading this. This is a new blog after all!

Cheers to all, and to all a good Thursday! And remember, if you can't come this year, there's always next year...
