Blog Party 2008 Giveaway!!

Photobucket
Confession: I've never participated in any type of blog networking thing before.

I am participating in MommyFest 2008. I am excited to give it a try. To do this, I have to post a brief intro of myself and MommyFest here on my blog. For those of you who that have never been here before, and are wondering about the 'confession' up there, I'll expain. In the interest of keeping my blog true to form, I have to confess something with every post. I'm Michelle and this is 'Mommy Confessions'. My blog is just what it says it is. It's a series of 'real' daily confessions from an imperfect mom, with an imperfect blog, who is not afraid to tell it like it is. I attempt to be light and humorous most of the time, but never stear clear of real issues, if that's what needs to be talked about. Welcome to my blog. Please browse the archives. I hope you will enjoy it enough to stay long after MommyFest is over.

If you scroll down to my entry about global warming, there is still time to get in on my 'green bag' giveaway. And if you leave a comment here letting me know you like the blog, you'll be entered to win a basket of assorted bath and beauty products valued at $100.00 from brands like Avon, Bath & Body Works, and more. And if you put a link to my blog on yours, let me know, and you'll get an additional entry!
Winner will be selected at random (probably by my 6 year old daughter), at the conclusion of MommyFest. Good luck, and welcome to Mommy Confessions!

You have a great blog! I completely agree with the Mother's Day story: a mother's work really is never done.

Melissa~ said...

Hi Michelle,

Just stopping in from Mommyfest.

I could not agree with you more about the restaurant thing! If people don't like kids they should just stay home! Ha! Love it!

You are fun, so glad to have found you. Gonna go follow you on twitter, (if it's back up now).

So nice to meet you!

♥ Melissa~
