A year of Best andHottest!

I just came home from attending my 5th Best and Hottest event from Metromoms. You can check out some of the pictures at www.metroplexbaby.com . I really can't believe how they have evolved since I started going. When I started going they were nice lunches with about 50 woman. It has evolved into a Mom's night out with over 100. The last 2 events we have had an entire restaurant to ourselves. After attending the Halloween themed B & H I thought they would never be able to out do it, numbers hanging from a tree in snack balls, a fog machine and spooky music. It was awesome. I drew # 56 but still got one of my top ten items. The Mama Mio Bootcamp for Butts, which if you haven;t tried you must it Rocks!!!
Next was the January B & H. How could they top Halloween. Well they rented out an entire restaurant, the numbers were in Balloon weights and they had a HUGE selection of even better items. So I knew they would never top that. I was wrong.
I just got back from the most recent Best and Hottest. When the list of products came out my heart was skipping beats! The Step 2 Nature Station Playhouse http://www.step2.com/product.cfm?product_id=1612 . The Skip Hop Wishbone Bike http://www.skiphop.com/product/wsbne.html. A Brand new Bootcamp for Tummies from Mama Mio that is not even off the assembly line yet. I can go on and on. The numbers were in flower pots hidden inside a Boon Spoon and flowers. I drew # 15. And came home with the Tag Learning system from Leap Frog and 3 books www.leapfrog.com. Not to mention a goody bag full to the brim with awesome products that I would never have known about if it weren't for Metro Moms.
But really that wasn't the best part of my evening. I had a great night out with some great friends, some that I have known for a while and some that I am really enjoying getting to know better. We talked and laughed and just had a great time. I guess I missed out since I was not at the table that was discussing the sippy cups dual use as a flask, but I think I fared pretty well!

Coming soon!

It seems this time of year bring a merry-go -round of sickness our way. As soon as I get the kids to feeling better I get sick as soon as I get better they are sick again. With kids in 2 different schools and just being out in public I think it is inevitable.

Anyway I have spent the weekend in bed with Tonsillitis. yes i still have my Tonsils and the Dr, wants them out. But with 3 children, PTA, and everything else I do where do I have the time to take the break to have surgery? My point is that I have been working on some blog ideas and this will be a busy week of updates. I have some news of an exciting program that Disney is going to be launching . So that I can do it justice I want to write about it with a clear head. Also I am going to sound -off on some states trying to make the Flu shot mandatory. So give me a few days and I am going to have lots of new stuff up!

What a day!!!!!

It is very rare that I take a day for me. A few hours here or there, but a whole Day never happens. I had been counting down to Best and Hottest so whatever the day held at 6pm I was going to be looking at the top baby products and visiting with friends. Then about 3 yesterday afternoon I realized that Oscar noms were going to be announced today. To me it was Christmas, Oscar Noms and Best and Hottest on the same day!!! Then while taking to a friend about said Oscar Noms we realized that we both really wanted to see Revolutionary Road( Great acting and script, but don't go expecting light and fluffy. It is the same guy who did American Beauty). I remembered reading that it was going to be an upcoming Cry Baby movie. SO while we are trying to plan a trip to go see the movie I realize that it is today's cry-baby movie. My friend would only have one of her 3 children today and after arranging DH to pick up son #2 and Grandma to pick up son # 1 and to check to make sure that DH really picked up son #2( amazing how I manage this every day, but it takes 2 of them to do it when I am not around). We have now extended the day to Oscar Noms, Movie and Best and Hottest. Well it just so happens that my favorite lunch spot is right across from the theater and a new independent book store has opened across the street. Add to that TJ Maxx and Marshalls are having a 15 % off sale so I am flying high Here is my day:



Buy a pair of jeans that are 1 size smaller than last pants bought woo hoo

Run into old friend

Visit new bookstore

lunch

Movie

Best and Hottest



So I am just ecstatic taking time for me and having a great time. Jenner even behaves for all but about 5 seconds during the entire movie. I call to check on everyone and of course Jude has come home from school with a high fever.The last time I took that much time for myself James came down with a high fever. So now i feel guilty for taking time for my self. I did go and Best and Hottest was awesome. For those of you in the DFW area with kids check out www.metroplexbaby.com. I don't want you to get pigeonholed and just look for the best and hottest events. I think it is tough for me to decide if I like the stroll-art or the speaker luncheons better.
