Weary Parent, The Ultimate Blog Party and a Giveaway Too
UPDATE!! Congratulations to our winner Suzanne. We hope you enjoy your basket!!
Welcome to Weary Parent and the Ultimate Blog Party! Christine and I are excited to be part of this great event hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom and to have a chance to meet some of the other great mommy bloggers.
First a bit about us! Weary Parent is a one of the blogs in B5Media’s Lifestyles Channel. The site is authored by Char (mom to 3 ages 6-11) and Christine (mom to 5 ages 5-16). We have done diapers, potty training and preschool. Our kids are now challenging us with a whole new set of issues and stages – from friendship dramas, budding romances, learning to drive, braces, middle school and high school, and so much more. As Gayla said so succinctly:
Char has a grip on the sensible parenting and Christine makes us all want to make sure we do. Sometimes I visit Weary Parent so that I don’t feel so alone in this Parenting Gone Wild kinda world.
We love to hear from our readers and welcome any requests for discussion topics!
Now for the fun stuff!! We are hosting another fabulous giveaway to help one lucky Mom get ready for spring, sponsored by Gilden Tree! Gilden Tree’s Two-Sided Footscrubber was featured in Oprah’s “O” magazine this month in her “best” section – as the best way for getting your feet ready for spring sandals.
We are giving away that awesome Footscrubber as part of Foot and Body Essentials Gift Basket (see above). A veritable treasure trove of all-natural goodies for your feet and body! This set includes our classic terra-cotta Footscruber®, 8 oz. of Revitalizing Foot Soak Crystals, Nourishing foot Cream, Soothing Hand & Body Lotion, Extremely Gentle Cleansing Gel and a 4 oz. jar of 95% Shea Butter Balm. All are carefully packed in a lovely, reusable pandan box with lid.
How do you enter? It’s simple. Just leave us a comment on this post telling us why you are a “weary parent” and you are entered. You can also stop in at Gilden Tree’s site and get a free sample of one of their amazing lotions too!
The draw for this particular giveaway will be held at Weary Parent and to enter you have to comment on this post – in other words, this giveaway is not listed in the Ultimate Blog Party giveaway. Entries will close midnight Monday, March 17, 2008.
Happy blog hopping and we hope to see you here again soon!
I am a weary parent because I have a 17-year-old son that doesn’t yet have his license. Need I say more?
I am a weary parent because I do everything for everybody all the time..
my 9 mo old will not sleep thru the night.
I am weary daily to much to do and not enough time.
can we just say I survived teenagers!
I am a weary parent because I am raising a very active 3 old son and a 16 year old teenage daughter who is driving me completely crazy. The two of them fight like cats and dogs. At the end of the day, I am emotionally and physically exhausted.
Weary? Me? Of course I am. I am weary because I am a single mommy of a 3 y/o boy and an 11 m/o girl, work 50 hours a week and go to school part time. However, I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m taking care of my babies and trying to make a better life for my family.
i am a weary parent because I am raising 2 adult children and a 17 year old along with helping my brother with his 4 young children since the death of his wife
I am a weary parent because, as I’ve learned, parenting is a 24 hour a day job…I often even dream about my kids!
What parent isn’t?
I am weary because every day I’m running the kids to their various activities and then I have to stay up very late at night trying to get the household chores done.
Well lets see I have my 3 sons, if thats not enough there ages are….21, 16, and 6 Don’t ask about gray hair, stress…or when I’ll be committed LOL
I’m weary because I AM a parent… need I say anymore?
I am a weary parent because I have two teenage sons and a broken leg.
Well I’m not a weary parent but my mother is! and I will share this with her if I win…(plus I am a weary college student/pet parent)
I am a weary parent right now because we have 2 extra boys spending a week with us during spring break!!!
I’m a weary parent because my child has ADHD and has never in her life taken a nap. That makes for some very loooooong days.
I am weary from worry with raising 4 sons and now there are two granddaughters. Every time one of them makes an error I wonder if it’s something I did wrong in rasing them but for the most part they are terrific.
I work all day, come home to two tired and hungry kids, make dinner, do homework, showers and finally bed…I’m a weary MOM!
I’m a weary single parent because I work all day and then have to come home and take care of the house, make dinner etc…
I’m a weary parent because I homeschool 2 teenage daughters, I’m a pastor’s wife, and I babysit two children.
Having twins and being a single parent just multiply the load of things that i have to do at once. I am a weary parent because i have three kids, on blind diabetic mom to take care of, a cat a three legged cat with no toes and a fibromyalgic body that defies my 47 years of age! I wouldnt trade it all for the life of me though!
I am weary parent,because I am always on the run with one of my kids.Between school meetings,doctors appointments,sports,
cooking,washing which there is no end,
bill paying,homework,house cleaning,worrying
over all of this,yes I think I am weary.I
need rest and pampering very bad
I am a weary parent. I have a full time job, a demanding husband and two children in their early twenties still at home. I can’t seem to teach them to cook or clean. I need a foot treatment.
My two boys run us ragged…which ultimately makes us quite weary…my wife deserves this
Hello, I am a worrier by nature! Then, when after having my two sons, worry was my middle name. Each stage of their growing up brings different worries. My husband says I would keep them both in a bubble if I could. He is probably right! Worry makes me weary. Hopefully, I will learn to Let go!
I have awful feet. These products look and sound wonderful. Please enter me in your drawing. I appreciate it…..Thanks,Cindi
I am a weary parent because I have rheumatoid arthritis, and between all the crying and all of the fighting, I don’t know how I keep it together!
I am a weary parent beacuse I am now essentially a single parent of 2 preteens.
I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do.
I am a weary parent because I have a son in track and track season is ramping up. Right now we’re practicing, but soon it will mean sitting in bleachers after a full day of work waiting for my son’s sprint – and 15 seconds of running.
I’m also weary because I dropped a very hot scalding cup of water on my foot and now have a big raw sore that is slowly healing. I can’t wear shoes and my feet are very dry. Do I get extra sympathy votes? Well, I tried anyway.
I am weary, yes, but I look at the list above of those with so many problems and I consider myself lucky. I have a chronic illness myself but I can live with it… I have three kids who give me all the joys and problems that all children do… I have little money but I have a home – and my mother lives 10 minutes from me. So I am blessed… weary but blessed!
Yes, I AM a weary parent! My husband is in the military and is gone quite often. We’re looking at an Iraq tour soon here. My two toddlers keep me very busy. However, I consider myself lucky to be their mother. These weary days do drag on, but I know that soon I will be wishing to relive this time when my children are home with me.
