Congrats Everyone, you should be receiving an email shortly!

I can't believe that in a little over two weeks I will be in New York City! Not only is that fabulous in and of itself, but I will also be attending a Food Network Event featuring Robin Miller where she will be demonstrating state of the art Euro-Pro Ninja Cooking equipment. I love to cook, and spend a lot of time in the kitchen trying to please my family, and I have an affinity for the Food Network, so this event is right up my alley!

New York, watch out, cause this small-town Oklahoma Girl is ready to come see the "big city!"

First of all, if you have any questions for me to ask Robin Miller, please tell me, and I will do my best to get anything answered.

Secondly, since I will only be in NYC (staying in the Sheraton Time's Square) for a total of about 48 hours, and have an extremely limited budget, what are some things I should do? (site-see, restaurants, places, etc.)

I recently was introduced to a helpful resource that I have been utilizing frequently. I love all of the options that are given to help Mom's in various situations. Not only are there short clips of episodes with real Mom's advice, but there are numerous tips on a wealth of subjects, articles, quizzes, and even a community to participate in, as well.

My personal favorite part of the MSN Mom's Homeroom site is the online community, there are so many nice ladies who participate on the community, and they all love to share their input in be helpful to others if they have questions. I am really grateful for all of the information, and the easy navigation through the site. So, head over and check it out for yourself, you'll be amazed at what you find!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

GotfreeCards.com is an awesome resource for free ecards and free printable cards it has a large collection of free printable birthday cards and free birthday ecards that one can Print or email. They also have an extensive collection of free christmas ecards.

With holidays around the corner, save money by heading over to Free Ecards.

So, whether you are seeking a gift for a family member or friend, make sure you consider Free Ecards!

One of my friends told me she was going to enter her 8 month old daughter in a local beauty pageant next month. The pageant is for infants-14 year olds, so I immediately had thoughts of entering my only daughter, Mika, who is 4 years old. But I'm just not too sure. I don't know what to think about pageants for children, and babies. I've watched various shows on pageants, including "Toddlers and Tiaras" and I even poured over the news coverage after the death of JonBenet Ramsey, but I don't really have a view one way or another on pageants. I kind of ride the fence on pageants, don't hate 'em, but not totally sold on them either.

My daughter was a top 100 finalist (out of tens of thousands of entries) in the 2006 Regis and Kelly Beautiful Baby Contest, but that is the extent of our entering contests!

So, since I have no personal experience with pageants, I am reaching out for opinions and thoughts. Are they worthwhile, or a big money-sucker that Mom's use to vicariously live through their children?
