Greetings from Anita & Kara-

Has it been another month already? My, oh my how time flies when you're having fun! Do you have fun with your business? I sure hope so because it just happens to be one of my most favorite aspects of mine.

Today we'd like to announce a very special contest. Since Mother's Day is right around the corner we're holding a very special contest sponsored by our very own humor writer, Lisa Barker of http://www.JellyMom.com The winner will receive a copy of "Just Because Your Kids Drive You Insane ... Doesn't Mean You're A Bad Parent!" (Great book if I do say myself. Lisa's book will have you literally "Laughing Out Loud"!) The winner will be chosen completely randomly but, you will have to enter! Visit our General Discussion Board http://mommyshelperonline.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=96 and watch for "Mother's Day Contest"

Till next month...
Anita & Kara
