Yesterday I received an email from Jennifer James, the founder of Mom Bloggers Club, that made me jump and squeal for joy. My jumping and squealing caused my boys to stop dead in their tracks and stare. After all, their mommy doesn’t often jump and squeal, just out of the blue. I must have looked and sounded ridiculous!
“What happened, Mom?” Zach asked, looking very concerned.
“I just won some money… woohoo!”
“How much?” A very wide-eyed Ethan asked.
“$250, baby!”
“Wow, we’ve never had $250 before.”
Well, we didn’t have it for long. Ray booked our hotel for BlogHer last night… It was just enough to pay for two nights in a fantastic boutique hotel, just a block away from the conference!
Now, where can I find some money to win for a new outfit and a pair of cute shoes?
