The View Ambassador: What’s Coming

The ViewLast week a told everyone how I am a brand Ambassador for The View. I get to share with you upcoming story-lines and what I think of the show. Today one of the hot topics mentioned was regarding the Tiger Woods press conference. Now I am not going to lie and say I watched it because I didn’t…even though I watched snippets of it on the news. Between the news snippets, Facebook, and Twitter I think I pretty much heard all there was to hear on the subject. It is everywhere and I am sick of hearing about it. What do you think?

What’s happening this week:

  • Tuesday, Feb 23: The controversial cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore will be joining the Women live on Tuesday.
  • Wednesday, Feb 24: Nadya Suleman who famously gave birth to octuplets last year will be making her first trip to NYC to chat live with the Women of the View. Author Danielle Steel will also be a guest
  • Thursday, Feb 25: A one hour show Themed “trying to have a baby?”Guests include Giuliana And Bill Rancic
  • Friday, Feb 26: Regis and Joy Philbin will perform a song from their new CD: Regis & Joy: Just you. Just me.

The View Ambassador

The View Ambassador
I am so happy to say that Mom Central chose me to be an official Ambassador for The View! So what does that mean exactly? Well I will get the inside scoop on upcoming and storylines for the show. I will also be able to give direct feedback to ABC Daytime marketing team. I am really excited to be a part of this! I’ve enjoyed watching The View for years now I am delighted to get sneak peaks and help promote it. I will have to admit that I agree mostly with Elizabeth, which isn’t always the most popular one but I admire that she stands up for issues that she believes in even though she takes a lot of heat for it. Joy and Sherrie make me laugh and Whoopi and Barbara are great to listen to even when I completely disagree with them. I think that I enjoy this show because it’s a great way to get the latest info on a wide range of topics, from politics to gossip to health issues and everything in between.

The View is currently having a sweepstakes where one lucky person will get a trip to New York City to set in the audience and watch a taping of the show. The trip will be all expenses paid for you and a friend! The sweepstakes will end February 28, 2010. Good luck!

Rainbow Brite Returns! Giveaway


When I was little I absolutely adored Rainbow Brite! I loved her blonde hair, her colorful outfit and her fun, magical world. I use to beg my mom to read Rainbow Brite books over and over. I can remember one story time very vividly. The story told about a fawn who was eating bark off a tree and how upset he was that the bark was bitter. I stopped my mom and asked her what bitter meant. Oh, I can remember this like it was yesterday! After pausing for a moment she led me in the kitchen and took down a small glass bottle from the cabinet. She put vanilla extract on my finger and had me try it. Blah! I’ll never forget how gross that was. (For those of you who are curious, the book was Rainbow Brite and the Brook Meadow Deer)

Even though I still have my Rainbow Brite doll I haven’t thought much about her for years. Well, fellow Rainbow Brite lovers, I have good news for you!
