National Multiple Sclerosis Walk

Location:Murrieta Town Square Park

Time:7:30AM Saturday, April 10th

Sarah was diagnosed with MS last year and since that time everyday has been a challenge for our family. But I have a fighter for a wife. And she is determined to live the best life possible. It’s never a good time to find out that you or someone you love has MS, but Sarah was diagnosed at… a time where she still has …the ability to fight this disease. I’ll be in her corner every step of the way. But some people don’t find out until the disease has almost completely debilitated them. The people who don’t have adequate insurance, or don’t have a strong support system, or don’t have access to assistance programs are the reason why Sarah and I have decided to get involved.

We’ve registered for the MS Walk because we want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed - and because we want to do everything to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with a diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from the MS Walk to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can’t, because we choose to donate to the MS Walk, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, “You have MS.”

We want all of our friends to come and join us on the walk so that we can fight this disease and celebrate life! There is no ‘entry fee’ to join us on the walk. If you want to donate…great! But more than anything we just want to support Sarah and the millions of other people throughout this nation and the world who have MS. If you want to donate, sign up to join us on April 10th or just get more information, just click on the MS Walk icon on the left side of my profile page. Let’s take a Step in the Right Direction. Join team Sarah!

Our goal is $1,000 so we can use all the help we can get.

I am a germ-a-phobic! I have a stash of antibacterials hand sanitizer and wipes in my car, purse and home at ALL times. There is something about microscopic bugs that just creeps me out. Maybe it is knowing they are there and not being able to see them that freaks me out, but needless to say, I have made it my mission to sanitize!

So when the makers of the MyClyns Germ Protection Spray contacted me for a review, I was on board! Here is my chance to try out a new germ fighting product, and who better to do it then the mom who has used them all! First, let me give you some facts:

• Germs are everywhere! They live in your house, in your car, at the store, in your office and in your child’s school or daycare.
• Germs aren’t all bad. Germs help to build your immune system, it’s just when you are exposed to millions of germs at one time that your system can’t fight them and you get sick.
• MyClyns is the size of a pen and fits conveniently in your purse of pocket!

What do I LOVE about MyClyns?

I love that it fit right into my purse and was easy to use.

Just open it up and spray on whatever surface you would like to disinfect.

Independent Studies have shown that it reduces more than 60 Pathogens including MRSA and E. Coli by 99.99%

Can safely be sprayed in eyes, ears, nose, mouth and minor cuts and abrasions.

Has been used for years by police, firefighters, EMS and healthcare workers.

What I’m Not Too Thrilled About?

Personally, I couldn’t spray this in Little Missy’s face and since I’m pregnant, I wasn’t going to chance it. However, hubby was volun-TOLD to be my guinea pig. He said it felt just like water being sprayed on his face.

So, in all MyClyns passes the Posh Mommy seal of approval.

To purchase your very own MyClyns Germ Protection Spray, visit your local CVS Pharmacy, Kroger, Smiths, Biggs, Max Wellness, Duane Reade, Wegmans, Rally’s, Nugget Market, Remke, Drug Emporium, Acme Fresh Market, Aurora Pharmacy, Auburn Pharmacy, Wilkinson, and many more!

One of my favorite websites, Nanny Deprived is hosting a Naughty Kid Photo Contest! They don’t want to see your cute kids…they want to see your naughty kids! You know you have those photos, the ones you are holding onto, so that you bring use later as black mail…or just to embarrass the hell out of them!

I am not entering Little Missy into the Photo Contest this time, but I do think that Nanny Deprived should have a Naughty Daddy Contest! Look at what my husband did just this morning!!!

By now the news of the devastating tragedy in Haiti has shocked the world. But how much has it really shocked us? We hear horrifying real life stories of struggle each and every day, but how often to we actually stop and let the reality sink in? It is easy to hear the bad news, feel sorry for those involved, whisper a quick prayer and go on about our day.

Let’s try something, let’s actually let this sink in. Don’t skim through this blog post, don’t make an excuse in your head as to why you don’t have time to read this. The fact is that you’ve probably spent hours on your computer today; chatting online, browsing Facebook and checking emails.

There are an estimated 9 million people living in Haiti, which has been devastated by corrupt government, slavery, poverty and natural disasters. Last week a magnitude 7.0 earthquake shook the country, killing an estimated hundreds of thousands of people.

Here is a country with limited resources who has been hit with a horrific natural disaster. Buildings have collapsed, children have been left orphans, many are left homeless.

Put yourself into their shoes, imagine you and your family, living your daily life and going about the usual routine. Suddenly, an earthquake shakes your home. Frantically, you run to find your children, to protect them from the crumbling ceiling, but you cannot find them.
In the aftermath, you search hysterically in the rubble that was once your home, looking for your children. With no help in site, you are left to physically pick up the brick, concrete and wood, in hopes that your children are safe. Luckily for you, they are. But they are in terrible need of emergency care, which cannot be found because as you look around, the earth has been leveled, no buildings in site, just piles of debris and the sounds of screaming mothers searching for their babies.

Doesn’t your stomach turn into knots reading that? Don’t you feel just terrible thinking of your children ever being in a situation like that? Well face reality, your children CAN be in a situation like that, and if God forbid they ever were, wouldn’t your heart just cry out for help. Help from a complete stranger across the world who sits comfortably in their home watching your world fall apart on the evening news.

Do something! Stop thinking that someone else will take care of it. Stop leaving it up to others. WE as a human race, need to bond together and help out one another.

Donate safely and securely from your own home just by texting “Haiti” to 90999. Your $10.00 donation to the American Red Cross will help out significantly! If everyone just gave $10, we could help this country rebuild itself.

So, I urge you to look at the photo below, let it sink in, and never forget it.

Cottonelle wants to know, do
you prefer the toilet paper to be over or under?

Honestly, Ive never really had a preference. When I gotta go, I’ve gotta go. My mom on the other hand has been a toilet paper Nazi. The toilet paper always has to be over. Or she will freak!

I never gave this subject much thought until The Mom Bloggers Club asked this question. Cottonelle is giving 200 bloggers a months supply of toilet paper. You can visit http://cottonellerollpoll.com for more info.

So, I’m curious how many of you have a preference. Just by commenting on your preference below, you will be entered to win a free Gift Set from Cottonelle.

It is the last day of 2009! There is something thrilling and exciting about that. Maybe because it means that we have survived another year. Or maybe it is because we have a brand new year ahead of us. Thinking and planning for the next 365 days brings a sense of hope and possibilities.

I’ve learned that New Year’s Resolutions just don’t work. Then again, I’m a go with the flow kind of gal who doesn’t do well with rules and structure. So, I say ‘Screw New Year’s Resolutions’ and let’s just vow to each other that we will *try* to make the most out of every day that we are blessed to have in 2010!

It’s a New Year and a New Decade, let’s start it off right! Forget the drama of 2009, forget the pain, forget the heartache. Hold your head up high, stand tall and walk proud. Surround yourself with positive people. Remember that you are in charge of your own life and take control of your future.

On that note, have a flippin’ good time tonight and REMEMBER to have a plan. Drinking and driving is NOT ok.

Well, I should have posted this before and I didn’t. I take full responsibility for being a slacker on this one.

We have had email issues for some time now, I believe that the last email that I received was back in September. Well, of course I moved from Germany and I’ve been super busy trying to find a house, buy a house, unpack my house, not kill my husband, take care of my toddler, and grow a baby in my belly…so naturally I put the email issue on the back burner.

My goal was to check with my site host (who is AMAZING by the way) before the New Year to see what I could do about this internet debacle. Well, I was happy to find out that I could access my email…but since I had changed from a PC to a Mac (best move EVER), I had to resubmit some techy thingies and VOILA….email!!!

So, the emails are slowly trickling in and there are THOUSANDS! I will be completely honest with you, I can’t respond to all of them, actually, I don’t even think that I will be able to read all of them.

So to get to the point (it’s about time right?), if you were a giveaway winner and DID NOT hear back from me about how to claim your prize, I APOLOGIZE! I do not think that it would be fair to contact the hosts months later and ask that they send out the product. However, if you did win a previous giveaway I will make it up to you…just email me and we can work something out. I promise I will respond!

Another thing that I noticed was emails from a few winners who I did contact (see I’m not THAT bad!) who never received their items from the companies. I want to go on the record to state that this is in no way acceptable! When a company comes to us to promote a product or their company, they are agreeing to send the item off to the winner in a TIMELY manner. So, I want to apologize on behalf of The Diary Of A Posh Mommy, if you won a giveaway and did not receive your item.

I am now wiping the slate clean and we are going to start back all shiny and new. BUT, if in the future, a company does not send out the giveaway item, they WILL be called out. Not kidding, I will dedicate a post to just how scammy and creepy they are. Maybe then, they will realize that not following through on your word is NOT COOL!

Now, I want to end this on a positive note…HAPPY HANUKKAH, HAPPY KWANZAA, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY/MERRY WHATEVER YOU CELEBRATE, just have a flippin good time doing it…and be safe!
