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!
