It was great to get to meet some fellow mommy bloggers and twitter friends in person and of course, Today’s Moms Mary Ann Zoellner and Alicia Ybarbo.  Together with Pampers, Today’s Moms announced a campaign to raise enough diapers (by Mother’s Day) to supply Baby Buggy for an entire year. Every mom paid the price of admission, a pack of diapers to help Today’s Moms reach their goal!

It was a fabulous morning of networking, sharing, and getting to meet these two fabulous and inspiring ladies!  As the morning went on, we got to meet Natalie Morales of NBC, who I remember from her days on local TV here in CT.  My Aunt and I really enjoyed chatting with her and of course getting our picture taken with her.

We had lots of great goodies and giveaways and the biggest surprise of the morning – a visit from Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York! She is one classy lady and so heartfelt, warm, and caring.  It was such a treat and I have to say, my grandmother – rest her soul - would have been so proud to see my Aunt and I with the Duchess.

In all, it was such a wonderful experience and I am so honored and thrilled to have been able to participate!

Today is a great day!

I woke up in a great mood today, full of energy. I thought it felt really great and wondered how to make that happen everyday–when some mornings I’m so tired. Can I bottle it? :-)

I sent an inspirational text message to my buddies and then called Judy on my way to the gym to tell her that it was going to be a great day. I wanted to spread this amazing sunshine that I was feeling today.

I was so thrilled to get a call when I got into the office from our contact at Channel 8 where we appeared last May when we debuted our business. She wanted us to come in for a spot on Sunday morning, of course we were thrilled! (Talk about a great day!)

If you are in the local area, we will be on Channel 8 on Sunday morning at 7:23 am. If not, we’ll post the link when it’s up and you can watch the streaming video right from their site.

We were so excited and wanted to share it with our readers. We hope you get to watch!

Enjoy the evening,

Deanna

P.S. I thought you might enjoy a photo of Judy and I from last May behind our display from which we were interviewed by the charismatic Matt Scott.
