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!
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.
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!
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 don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do.
I am a weary parent beacuse I am now essentially a single parent of 2 preteens.
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!
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
My two boys run us ragged…which ultimately makes us quite weary…my wife deserves this
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.
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
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’m a weary parent because I homeschool 2 teenage daughters, I’m a pastor’s wife, and I babysit two children.
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 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 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’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 a weary parent right now because we have 2 extra boys spending a week with us during spring break!!!
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 because I have two teenage sons and a broken leg.
I’m weary because I AM a parent… need I say anymore?
