I love a good challenge.
We face challenges each and every day. It could be trying to lose that last 10 pounds, getting your children to eat their veggies, landing that big account, trying to juggle work and home, dealing with that one pushy person (we all know one!)...the list is endless.
But when you succeed and "win" that challenge, it feels so rewarding! You know all of your hard work has payed off!
I've taken on Product X and auditioning for Mom Inc as my challenge of all challenges! I think, eat, dream - or in most cases, lay awake at night- Product X.
To make it fun, I've involved my husband and children in the process so that they can feel included in this challenge as well! Remember, my daughter actually came up with the name for Product X!
So with positive thoughts and determination, I am anxiously waiting to hear about casting information. Hopefully it'll be this week!
Good luck with YOUR challenge today!

Mom
This is such a wonderful day - I get to celebrate my children and be a part of a very special group of women - Mothers.
I have to ask, "when did I get old enough to have 2 children"?! Wasn't I JUST in school making a clay ashtray for MY mom?! Remember the clay ashtray? With some Google searches I found that the ashtray was invented in the 1800's and was originally called the "ash pan".
It's pretty interesting to look around and see all of the inventions that are in our home. Inventions made by someone like you and me. And if you're a Mom and you have an invention, you now get the nifty title of "Momtrepreneur"! Not to mention being able to audition for Mom Inc!
Yes, it's a very special group.

Miss the boat
With all of this going on with Product X and Mom Inc, I have had a lot of conversations with other people about their inventions and let me tell you, more than half of them I would buy!
It's interesting...almost all of the people say the same thing, "Oh, it's a good idea but I don't have the time to follow though and even if I did, I would not even know where to begin".
That's what's so great about Mom Inc. The show is going to take out the uncertainty of where to begin and help a mom (hopefully me!) make her idea a reality!
So I say to Mr. P (you know who you are), research your idea - it's a good one and don't "miss the boat"!

Feelin' Swanky
There is a really cool website that I have been a fan of for years called Swanky Moms (www.swankymoms.com). It's the go to site if you're looking for boutiques, want to read reviews on great products or you're just a hip mom and want a place to hang out!
I am truly honored to be featured as a Swanky Mom this week (visit site to see) and it's pretty exciting to see I am in good company.
Annie Duke - poker icon and Celebrity Apprentice contestant was once featured along with Alex McCord - one of my favorite Real Desperate Housewives of New York. Wow!
About Product X:
It's time to give Product X a make-over! I will save the first proto-type but now I have to redesign it with some bells and whistles...oh the excitment of it all!

Giving back
In a world of "me-isms", I was pondering my motivation for Product X last night.
Is this about getting MY name in the spotlight? Is this about getting ME in front of the camera?
Although I do love mugging for the camera, I realized it's not ME everyone will be looking at...it'll be Product X! Phew! I guess I can have that piece of cake after all!
Seriously, I am pretty competitive and I am so curious to see if America loves Product X as much as I do but winning this competition is not just about me.
I hope to be fortunate enough to be able to give back. To my community. To my family. To my friends.
There is a very worthy organization called The Haven in Clearwater, Florida that is a safe house for abused women and children that I would like to help. My Church. My children's school. Oh, the list is endless!
So I can let myself off the hook and not worry about MY "me-ism" and just enjoy the journey!

2 Weeks
I just found out that the finial casting information should be out in a couple of weeks!
But I wonder...what does that exactly mean? They start casting in 2 weeks? In 2 weeks there will be information ABOUT casting?
Either way, this is very exciting!
