Back at the beginning of February Jen at jgoode.com wrote a post called Wear Red Today and Get A Love Button For Shouting It Out. All you had to do was leave a comment on her blog and she would send you a Love Button and donate 1.00 to the American Heart Association.

I met Jen at Affiliate Summit West here in Las Vegas back in January and she is a really sweet and nice person. so I wanted to give her back a little love today and show you the Love Buttons I received in the mail. Thanks Jen, and I’m looking forward to seeing you again at Affiliate Summit East. Let’s hang out more!

You can visit her store at JGoodeDesigns.com – she has the cutest things ever!

Has the economy left you feeling busted? Are you a mom? Then you’re just one of the many Busted Moms out there and Sears is ready to help you all out.

They have launched a viral marketing campaign to help out moms all across the US with random acts of kindness in the form of $25 gift cards just by following them on Twitter @bustedmoms. How cool is that? I think I counted about 5 gift cards that they gave out yesterday on Twitter, just because.

But the big thing about their campaign is the $2,500.00 makeover giveaway! All you need to do is visit Busted Moms.com and become a fan on their FaceBook page. Tell your story about why you should win the $2,500 makeover package or nominate one of you favorite moms.

BustedMoms $2500 Makeover Package includes:

1. $1500 worth of Sears Apparel
2. $250 spa treatment at your local spa
3. $250 for hair and makeup
4. $500 cash for fun

I found out that I was actually nominated to win the makeover package and I feel so loved! Thanks so much Heather, Drew, and Corrin! That would totally rock if I won!

Oh and I must mention that now is the time to shop at Sears also. They have 75-80% off original prices on all their Fall and Winter apparel from now till April 18th.

Sears is just rocking the social media world! They get it, and I think it’s awesome!

Yesterday morning I took my oldest son Johnathan down to audition for a teen pilot starting in the fall. There is a lot of waiting to be had at auditions so we spent some time just hanging out and talking. I got this picture of him practicing his lines in the mirror. I thought it was pretty cool. He’s pretty serious about the whole thing.

It’s been two years since I wrote the post Happy 13th Birthday Justin and I can’t even begin to tell you where the last two years went. I guess that is what my family category is for. A reference for the oldies who have lost their minds (me).

I had a busy day yesterday while taking my oldest son to yet another audition, but of course I manged to get some time in with Justin for his 15th birthday. I took him to the skate shop so he could get a new deck, and I bought him Hanna Montana cupcakes. HA!

My good internet friend Eve moved her site to her new domain Confessions Of A Housewife and I want to help her spread the news about the contest she is running in celebration of this event.

She’s giving away a $20 dollar gift card to use at Fandango, so click on over to her Win $20 Fandango Bucks post and enter. Good luck!
