Yep! Her dirty little secret is out. Did you know that the average American mom spends more of her time (nearly 200 hours each month!) doing the things she least enjoys rather than the things that she loves. Believe it or not, Moms spend more time keeping dishes clean than showering, equal time with the pets as with her spouse, and more time in the laundry room than at the gym! Ouch!
Lucky for me, I was selected to be a part of The MotherLoad Frigidaire Team and I’m anxiously waiting for my new washer and dryer. I’ll be blogging more about that after the appliances are installed and quite honestly—I can’t wait to test out the Frigidaire “More Me Time” Guarantee. In fact, if you don’t save at least 8 hours —you get your money back! Want more info? Moms can visit www.Frigidaire.com, and report what they’d do with the extra time for a chance to win an entire suite of NEW time-saving Frigidaire appliances.
Best,
Kathy Peterson

If you see us sweating–you’ll know why :) Bead onward!

Can I just say; I’ve really hit the MOTHERLOAD–literally! This month I’ll be receiving a new washer and dryer from Frigidaire. And I’m thrilled to tell you that I’m one of about 10 mom’s as part of the Frigidaire Test Drive Team for their newest release in washers and dryers!
BTW: this month Frigidaire rolls out a brilliant new collection with more than 250 kitchen and laundry appliances, just in time for Mother’s Day! But it gets better! These appliances have some time saving features I’m looking forward to because I need all the extra time I can get with my crazy schedule.

Frigidaire has so much confidence in the efficiency of these products that they are offering a “More Me-Time” Guarantee: Moms will reduce the amount of time they typically spend on housework by at least 8 hours a month using a combination of three or more select Frigidaire appliances or they can return the appliances to their place of purchase within 30 days and get their money back! Now that’s a great deal!
Frigidaire also wants to know what you would do if you had an extra hour of blissful “me-time”. Starting today, moms can go to frigidaire.com to report the five things they would do with an extra hour each day. I’ve already posted mine 5 wishes!

This past fall I was so excited to have a chance to visit one of The Society’s incredible vacation homes in Vail. I wasn’t able to take advantage of this lux home due to my crazy schedule –(sniff, sniff) so I passed my opportunitity along to my friends and colleages at Mom Central, Stacy Debroff and Alison Rhodes. Thanks to The Society and Peak Properties, Stacy and Ali spent two luxurious days in a multi-million dollar home with quite possibly the most gorgeous mountain view they’d ever seen. The Society, a new travel company, puts travelers in any one of a number of luxury home and condo rentals in beautiful resort destinations around the world. They focus on giving travelers a home away from home in their vacation destination.
With the holiday season upon us, The Society wanted to offer families a chance to getaway and experience one of their beautiful properties, for free! Even in these hard economic times, families still want to get away for a memorable vacation that is high quality and reasonably priced. A home rental gives your family a chance to connect while cooking dinner in your own kitchen, cozying up to a movie at the end of the night, or running into locals in the neighborhood to give you insights into great things to do in the area.
In order to help preserve the American family vacation, The Society has called upon their partners and fellow entrepreneurs to brighten the upcoming holiday season with a series of ten 5-night vacation giveaways. The Society and their Luxe Alliance members have collaborated to offer luxury stays in amazing vacation rentals and villas in locales such as Cabo San Lucas, Telluride, Sedona, Vail, Keystone, Orlando and more. Between November 5, 2008 and January 28, 2009 participants can sign-up here (www.thesociety.com/giveaway) to register and become eligible for one of the ten vacation giveaways. Additional entries can be earned by those who complete The Society Match Maker Request here. Lastly, all participants will receive a 5% discount coupon off their next booking, provided by The Society.
If you would like to receive an opportunity to visit one of The Society’s beautiful homes with your family, enter to win here! (www.thesociety.com/giveaway)
I look forward to connecting with you about this great chance to spend quality time with your family and good luck!
Warmest, Kathy
P.S. Let me know if you won! Good luck.
