Oh Brother! Comic Strip Winner: 5 Questions for Chiara

Recently, Role Mommy hosted the "Is Your Kid A Character Contest" on behalf of the nationally syndicated comic strip, "Oh, Brother!"

With the help of a panel of esteemed blogging mom judges, one lucky child won the chance to be featured in an Oh, Brother! comic strip panel.

After receiving dozens of entries from parents across the country, the winning story came from Chiara, a 7 year old from Columbia, MO whose mom shared the following funny tidbit about her daughter:

"My kid is a character because she can always turn a bad situation into a good one. Her random funniness is what gets me through my day. Last week we were talking and she said "Mom I'm never getting married," and I asked her why and she said "Because boys like to take your paycheck and play video games all day and I don't have time for it, Mom!'"

Chiara's official debut as an "Oh, Brother!" comic strip character appeared this week online at www.ohbrothercomics.com and in newspapers nationwide. Take a look...

Recharge Our Troops With the Help of Operation Gratitude!

Last week, my family and I were very honored to be be able to celebrate my twin brother's military career, alongside our troops.

May is National Military Appreciation Month and our friends at Operation Gratitude are helping families (like ours) spread the love through a very generous donation from the good folks at Recharge Natural Sports Drink:

In April, R.W. Knudsen donated 100,000 sticks of Recharge Natural Sports Drink -- the latest addition to the popular natural sports beverage line -- to Operation Gratitude. If Recharge meets its goal of 15,000 new “likes” for its Facebook page before the end of May, they'll donate 100,000 MORE sticks for the troops! 

Via: Operation Gratitude's Facebook Page

All you have to do is visit Recharge on Facebook, click on the "like" button and...DING!...you just helped Operation Gratitude get <this> much closer to Recharging the men and women currently serving overseas in the U.S. military.

Why?

Because, our troops and my twin brother are SO worth it...trust me!

Kellogg's Eggo FiberPlus Waffles Review and Giveaway

COMMENTS ARE CLOSED: SO so happy to be sharing with Lisa (comment #70) please check your email for further instructions, thanks!!!

It's no secret, I am NOT a morning person.  Just ask my husband, Garth (not his real name)  who happens to be infuriatingly pleasant, as he hands me a cup of coffee (through the bathroom door) first thing in the morning and then, you know, runs away.

Smart man.

I had the pleasure of being contacted by the good folks representing Kellogg's about a new breakfast product and, well, seeing as I am a BIG fan of Brinner (breakfast for dinner) decided to give Eggo FiberPlus Buttermilk Waffles and Eggo FiberPlus Chocolate Chip Waffles a try -- after my first cup of coffee, of course!

Want some?
