My friend, Karen, at Thrifty Mommy tagged me with this “Tell 5 things about yourself” game.  I’ve never actually participated in a blog game, but thought it sounded fun, and since I’m sharing a few things, decided to formally introduce myself!  

Hi!  My name is Jennifer!  Just kidding…I’ll skip past the usual stuff that many of you already know (I adore my kids and husband, like to save money, etc.).  So here it is…five random things about me, that you may or may not already know (in no particular order)…

Meet Naomi Hattaway and Liz Weirshousky, founders of Rock-n-Tot!

Win tickets to the premiere opening events in Cleveland, Ohio and Washington, DC!
 

I am the mother of three kiddos, two boys who are 13 and 4, and a little girl who is 19 months. My family has lived in the Cleveland area for going on 3 years.  I was a paralegal before I became a SAHM.  I love throwing parties, organizing events and my morning coffee. Laundry is my least favorite chore!  My hope is to stay home with the kids until the youngest is in kindergarten and I’m excited to see what life brings me in the next 3-5 years.   

 
I am the mother of a 20-month old girl. We have been living in the DC area for 6 years now. We are always working on our 60-year old house and feel the “project” may never be finished, but that is half the fun of a vintage home. I love Mocha Frappucinos from Starbucks and I’m an insane craft nerd.  Laundry is my least favorite chore! I work outside of the home, in addition to this new venture and can’t wait until our debut Rock-n-Tot events!

My name is Chava and I’m giving away a free set of labels to one lucky iMommies reader! 
I’m also including a free set of pantry labels (a $14.95 value!) with EVERY order from my site that mentions code iMommies!

So, a little about me…My husband, Steve, and I have been married for almost 4 years, but have known each other our entire lives…literally.  (Steve’s mom was my mom’s lamaze teacher when my mom was pregnant with me.)  We are both originally from New Jersey, but currently live in Chesapeake, Virgina with our wonderful 19-1/2 month old daughter (Lily).  In addition to my roles as Steve’s Wife, Lily’s Mom, Austin’s Stepmom, Administrative Assistant/Database Analyst, Mystery Shopper, and Dog Walker/Sitter, I’ve also started my own business, called Lily’s Labels. 

Lily’s Labels carries everything needed to label your child’s belongings…and no sewing is required!  We carry clothing tags, bag tags, ID bracelets, container labels, shoe tags…if you need to label it, we’ve got a label for the job!  AND…most importantly…the labels are washer and dryer safe, microwave safe, waterproof and chemical proof!

My name is Cindy Knight, owner of CK Specialties, and I’m giving away $10 gift cards to all iMommies readers for the next six days! 

About Me:  I started out retailing business cards and stationary in the Greater New Orleans area in 1997. After attempting to rebuild during 2006, post-Hurricane Katrina, I moved back North to Ohio to be with my aging parents. My Mom is in a nursing home, and my Dad was living alone. My children are Nero (a cat) and Meg (a dog)!  

What I Do:  Though I also do property inspections from time to time, I had looked into the products for CK Specialties three times over the course of seven years, and finally decided to go for it!  I’ve been with my supplier for eight months, and have primarily sold locally, but have recently begun branching out nationwide. As much as I have ordered since April, I have yet to have any problems with quality or workmanship, have been very impressed with everything I’ve ordered, and have received no complaints!

There simply aren’t enough hours in the day.  Period.  And this is where Chris Perry steps in…to give us all a little more time throughout the week!  Chris is the owner of Errands-N-Stuff, which is initially serving Greensboro, North Carolina, and surrounding counties, with…errands and stuff!  Having a “personal assistant” to run those errands to the grocery store, the dry cleaner, the library, not to mention the post office (which conveniently closes as soon as most people end their workday), used to be a luxury service that came with a luxurious price.  Chris, however, has taken a need, common amongst us all, and made the solution affordable.  We love you, Chris!  (Now expand to my area, please!!)
 

Though the sky is the limit (well, technically, they haven’t integrated air travel into their model…YET), the most common errands include:
-Running to the Post Office
-Grocery Shopping
-Package/Document Delivery
-Office Supply Pickup
-Dry Cleaning Pickup, Videos,
-LibraryBook/Video Drop-Off and Pick-Up
-Bill Paying

We’re all familiar with scented soaps, handmade soaps, and decorative soaps…but my guess is that you’ve probably never met anyone like Theresa, or seen a soap handcrafted like those of UNIQUE SOAPS.  These are truly the most intricately detailed soaps I’ve ever seen (and you’ll see them in just a minute).  Theresa’s creations are truly works of art and belong in a museum…or at least a fashionable boutique on 5th Avenue…or maybe in the finest hotels…or perhaps as promotional gifts for a luxurious spa.
 

Theresa started creating decorative soaps as a hobby, but as friends and neighbors noticed her artistic talents, they began to ask for special requests of soaps for party favors, childrens’ parties, birthdays, Sweet 16s, anniversaries, bridal showers, holiday gifts, housewarming baskets…you can see why she had to start her own company!  UNIQUE SOAPS by Theresa has been in business for four years, and her products are only available via online ordering…you can’t get these in stores!
