Grand Prize Winner?

I subscribe to a magazine called "Birth of a Mother" and last week they emailed a contest for a "Mommy Makeover". To enter you had to tell them in 100 words why you thought you deserved to win. I just quickly made up a poem and sent it in. After I had sent it, I was quite embarrassed because I should have taken the time to look it over and think about it...it could have been SOOOO much better.

Well, I guess they loved it because I won!!! Here is what I won:


From Swizzlesticks Salon & Spa: 1 x Caribbean Manicure and Pedicure 1 x Aroma Wellness Massage OR Aroma Wellness Facial 1 x Shampoo, Condition, Cut, Style and Finish
1 x Make-up Consultation and Application

From Posh Mommy: $300 Gift Card and Style session with Personal Stylist Kim Flanagan to pick out a new outfit

From Milestones Grill & Bar: $75 Gift Certificate

From Fit Mom: 8 Personal Training Sessions

From bo bébé: $150 Gift Basket

From Shooligans: 1 pair of Robeez soft soles, 1 pair of Squeaky Shoes

Here is a copy of my ridiculous poem that will now be published in the magazine...how horrifying...oh well...at least I'll look good :)


I am a busy mom of three
and barely have time to pee.

I shower at night, (so I can do it alone)
and spare them all from the fright.

I work from home to earn extra money
and rarely get to spend time with my honey.

With a kindergartner, a preschooler and a toddler
…put on clean clothes? why even bother?

With a pony on top, and baggy pants on the bottom
It’s a wonder they have style with all I’ve taught ‘em.

My friends don’t dare laugh, we’re all the same way
I’d rather spend time with my kids than get ready all day.

Someday I’ll spend money on myself
I just keep waiting to loose my ‘muffin top’ shelf.

I love my kids, wouldn’t trade this for the world
But a day of pampering sounds like the best thing I’ve heard!


Now I just have to find someone to watch the kids on Tuesday!

Oh, and if you have little ones and don't subscribe to the magazine you should!!!!
