The End Of The Year Is Upon Us, Plus An Update

 

2009 is a mere 5 days away, can you believe it?  At this time last year, I honestly did not know what a blog was, much less think I’d actually create one, move/change it, create another (shared) one, and have plans for more.  Ironically, and thankfully (lol) the new blogs have / will have more direction than MM / STS has had.  I love it yet it isn’t quite “there” on what I want it to be.  Of course if I knew exactly what that was, it would be a lot easier to get there.  So, I want to thank you for coming along this journey with me as I continue to figure it out.  J  The new blogs will help me organize content better and will have a specific purpose, which may help STS “become”. 

 

The response to the Holiday Gift Guide was unbelievably overwhelming and I am so thankful for all participants.  Unfortunately, it was so overwhelming that the time I allotted to have it created and published was not enough time and not everything was featured. For that, I offer my apologies and although the Christmas season has now passed us, I will include all products that didn’t make the Holiday Gift Guide in upcoming articles / lists. 

 

New winners will be posted shortly as there were numerous winners that did not claim their prizes.  If you have entered any of the Holiday Gift Guide giveaways or any since, keep an eye out for the new list!  A hint – you may want to use an original name / id when entering contests & giveaways (even adding something to end of a common name could help) then occasionally do Google searches to see if that name gets any hits (as in winner announcements!).  I hate that someone misses out on a prize they won, but I am no longer able to personally contact every winner. 

 

Upcoming Toddler Travel features will be pushed back to January, but keep an eye out for those.  Lots of great products you may be interested in if you will be traveling with a toddler.

 

Have you heard about the Shi Shu Baby blankets and blankets for the home? They will be included in the Golden Globe swag bags and yours truly has one right here.  Look to Simply Sensational Divas Review the week of January 4^th for several “mom opinions” (mine included) on this fab product.

 

A pretty big thing I am working on right now, and thankfully am ALMOST finished compiling, is my list of 101 things I want to do in the next 1001 days.  Check out Day Zero for the 411.  It starts for me on January 1, 2009.  If you are looking for some help in getting your list started, check out Jessica Know’s 15 Days Of New Year Resolutions. I plan on making lots of changes this upcoming year and over the course of the 1001 days (2.75 years) and am excited about getting it started. 

 

A Moment For Me will resume on Monday, January 29, 2008 after a little Holiday siesta.

 

BTW, my email is still tragically overloaded, but I am working through it.  I am checking for any winners before drawing new ones and then working through other email as I can.  The busyness of holidays, family, house & home have me spending less time at the computer right now, as I am sure most of you can relate. 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
