Friday Fun!
Written by Jen Dwyer on April 17, 2009 – 2:52 pm -
As many of you know, I have been posting a CuteKid question of the day. We’ve gotten some great feed back from you all on Facebook and Twitter! Here are a few highlights from this week to start your weekend off!
What’s the cutest thing your kid has said this week?
A Facebook Friend: “Mommy, I want a slide, a tunnel, a sandbox and a swing for me, Peyton, you daddy and the dog.”
-This kid is smart!
Another Facebook Friend: My daughter told me she couldn’t wait until she got older so we could be the same age. Then we can do EVERYTHING together!
-Haha that’s a girl that sure loves her mom!
What’s your favorite thing about being a parent?
Facebook Friend: My son always starts his sentences with “umm mommy, your so pretty can i please…” he knows how to suck up already!
-Quick learner!
Another Facebook Friend: Everything but the best is when you get to see them do things for the first time and their facial expressions. I love it when they learn to say mommy and i love you.
-Somehow, I think she hit the nail on the head for most parents!

The Free Canvas Has Arrived!
Written by Jen Dwyer on February 27, 2009 – 5:04 pm -So for those of you that follow what I write here, you may remember I wrote about a free canvas portrait offer. Well, IT’S HERE!
I’d have given it two thumbs up, but I had to hold it up for the picture somehow!
I have to say, for a practically free canvas ($17 for shipping)…this thing rules. I should warn you folks
though, your photo will wrap around the side of the canvas, which I like because it adds dimension. But some photos might not look so good when they’re wrapped around (ex. cutting off heads). So you might want to center your picture or choose one with extra room on the edges if the wrap around isn’t your thing.
Overall, I’m excited about my canvas photo, next time I might splurge and get a frame too now that I know they come out so nice. I’ll probably go and register some other email addresses with ParentSociety.com and order another canvas. This could end up being my default gift for those hard to shop for people.
Not sure when this promo will be over, so you should probably go to ParentSociety.com, sign up as a member and get your free canvas photo before it ends.
P.S. How stinkin’ cute is my cousin with his Mickey ears?

CuteKid at Grammy’s
Written by Jen Dwyer on February 9, 2009 – 1:47 pm -So like a good Social Mama, I was watching the Grammy’s last night. Little did I know, one of our very own CuteKids (Beth) was at the Grammy’s because she was in a music video for an up and comming artist! Out of 300 pitches, the video she was in was one of 5 winners that aired at the Grammy’s. Way to go Beth!
Before appearing on the Grammy’s, Beth and her twin sister Brooke were our April 2008 Multiples Winners! CuteKids have been going all sorts of great places lately! See our other recent CuteKids who have made waves, Kellen, Kiannah and Jared.
The music video was for the Filmaka Lincoln Mercury competition called Project Rising Stars done especially for the Grammy’s. Beth was featured in the music video for Olivia Broadfield’s song ‘Indescribable.’ In addition to being aired on the Grammy’s, a 30 second condensed version of each video is used for a Lincoln Mercury national SAG TV commercial. How cool!
You can also vote for Beth’s video that appeared on the Grammy’s. The concept of the video is very cute, and I’m not even saying that because one of our kids was in it! It might make you a little nostalgic!
They also have a page up for each of the winning videos that were featured during the Grammy’s.

Social Mama’s Social Finds Friday!
Written by Jen Dwyer on January 30, 2009 – 11:07 am -
So since I got my handy dandy new blog, I figured I’d make up some snazzy title’s for subjects during the week. Well, here we are at Friday…hence, Social Finds Friday (you’ll learn that I really, really like alliterations!).
So I came across a great, new, original blog this week that all parents should keep up with because it’s a cool concept. I found it because the author is someone I “know” on Twitter. The blog is going to be a running list of rules, 2024 of them to be exact, for his daughter. Why such a strange number? Well, 2024 is when his daughter will turn 18.
Not only do I think this blog is such an awesome idea, a while ago the author asked his Twitter posse for some suggestions of rules. Of course, I had to answer…I am a daughter after all! Well, sure enough, my rule is now posted for all of the Internet to see! You can find my influence under Rule #8…although the “knee” part of the rule wasn’t my idea, I can’t say I completely disagree. Haha!
If you want to keep up with the rules, check out the site here you can also follow him on Twitter: @BuckDaddy.
What would some of your rules be?
