I’m a featured prize sponsor for the 5MinutesForMom.com Ultimate Blog Party! What does that mean exactly? It means you have the chance to win a $100 Visa gift card from me to you! 
This is the 5th year of their Ultimate Blog Party and I can’t wait to be a bigger part of it! I entered the bloghop last year and entered to win prizes but this year I want to help out other blogs who need a traffic boost or just looking to win some fab stuff! I love helping moms become bloggers so this blog party is the natural fit for me.
Janice from 5 Minutes For Mom is a hoot. No lie. She is one of my favorite people evah! I want to be just like her. She is professional, on top of her game, wicket smaht and still can relax and chat at conferences, even if she’s a speaker! I don’t know if I could ever speak at a conference. I’d just ramble and get off on tangents… Ooooh shiny! Anyway, I met her for the first time at the Type A Conference last year and instantly decided I wanted to be her new BFF. Oh, and Susan’s BFF too, since they are twins and a package deal an all.
Okay enough of my stalking love for all things Janice and her equally cool identical twin Susan… What the heck is MY blog all about?! Well for one, it’s not only FOR moms in Colorado like you might think. It’s a compilation of things FROM moms in that happen to live in Colorado. Hence thy name. We have forums for the local gals, giveaways for anyone and lots of information for everyone!
Wanna know if the new hot toy is worth the $$ to buy? We reviewed it for you. How about that movie your kids are begging to see? We’ll go check it out and let you know how funny it is. Looking for a family friendly recipe? We got you covered there too. Wanna laugh about life as a mom/wife, well you are in the right spot!
About me? Well I’m a mom to 3 boys, wife to a doc, lover of all things TOYS! You see, I’m what they call someone who never really grew up. I’m stuck at age 14 and I don’t wanna budge. I still think Kirk Cameron is dreamy and that Vanilla Ice is da bomb diggity. Wanna learn more? Head on over to my About page!
So grab a cup of coffee (or wine as I would!) and settle in. I’d love to chat with you! We may even have a special secret giveaway going on during the week, so make sure you check back here!
