Carly Cooper Wants to Inspire You

2010-09-07T01:04:02Z

I’ve written about Life Coach for moms, Carly Cooper, before. She’s an old friend of mine, and I love what she’s doing for moms. Here’s a project she’s been working on to inspire moms everywhere. Check it:

If you want Carly to “fix” you, check out her services on her website Balance-the-Motherload.com. Hope you were inspired! We’re all in this together….

Love!

Totally FLIPPING for the Flip Camcorder!

2009-12-30T23:46:02Z

Note: If you think you’ve seen this post before, you’re not going crazy — you HAVE seen it! I moved it here from the Cheaty Monkey main blog at the request of my sponsors.

I have VLOGS for you today — from out here in Farm Country, Canada. This is part of the MOMCENTRAL “Flip for the Holidays” tour, and goes along with our FLIP CAMCORDER GIVEAWAY (and more video) over at Cheaty Goodies. I’m taking a week’s holiday from blogging (I think), so these should keep you entertained ’til I get back, I hope!

I apologize in advance for calling FLIP camcorder a “phone” a lot…. ENJOY!

Here’s Rascal and I singing some merry tunes….

AND, here’s Rascal and I going for a walk down the farm path, talking about the contest, about MOOOOO, the holidays, and about my frozen brain. I apologize for the Blair-Witch-Project type filmage in this one…and the holiday chin zit….OKAY, OKAY, roll it!

AND, here’s Minden and I (and my zit) singing a jolly holiday tune. We’d JUST gotten the video camera that night, so it wasn’t charged yet and so the video ends abruptly, alas.

Now, Canadian Gorgeouses, go enter the FLIP contest! Hope you win! Good luck! (To my International Gorgeouses, I’ll try to organize a giveaway for you, too, SOON!)

And, Happy Holidays TO ALL!

P.S.: Many thanks to MomCentral for the video camera and for hosting this great giveaway!

Love!

Cheaty Recommends DISNEY ON ICE: PRINCESS CLASSICS, Dec. 18-27

2009-12-21T01:47:14Z

Even my sister’s FIVE-MONTH-OLD loved the show. His big round eyes were glued to the rink, his little head bobbing to the fabulous Disney music. And doesn’t Disney have the most fabulous music? Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid….

I think The Little Mermaid was my favourite part of the show (at least of the first half). Because the skater who played Ariel was a-ma-zing. I felt like I was watching Olympic-class skating.

After taking us through 4 Princess stories — Aladdin, Snow White (Rascal LOVED the Dwarfs!)….

…Sleeping Beauty (the music…!), Mulan, and Beauty and the Beast — there was an intermission. The Monkey and I ran downstairs and she DANCED with me, as if she herself were a princess! Did I mention she was, of course, wearing her Disney princess dress? Complete with RUFFLES and PINK? Motherbumper and Her Bad Mother‘s kids (whom we bumped into on the way out) were ALSO wearing their dresses!

After the intermission, we were treated to the entire Cinderella story….

Bippity bobbity boo! And we loved it.

I got teary-eyed at one point in the show. Because this production was so wonderful for the kids: the settings, the costumes, the choreography, the skating were all pretty spectacular — and it was all FOR THE KIDS. Fahklempt! And I got teary-eyed because the show succeeded in bringing ME back to my own childhood, and my dreams and belief in magic.

Cheaty highly recommends…. Check Cheaty Goodies for tix and a special promotion.

Happy Holidays!
