Day 32 of My Favorite Things: Being DONE! I did it!

OMG – So you know when you have no time to breathe and your house is a mess… Always? Yes, that’s continuously me. Know what’s fun? Launching a blog. Know what’s more fun? Declaring before I knew how labor intensive each post would be that I would write one every day. For a month. Ugh…..

Day 15 of My Favorite Things: Downtown Bookworks

With that being said, this has been a really fun month. I made some amazing brand connections and really told the story of nouns (people, places and things) that I believe in and have meaning to me and my family. I have connected with tons of new people on so many different levels and I made new friends!

Day 20 of My Favorite Things: Stride Rite

Going forward The Mint Chip Mama will be a weekly blog. I will continue to feature nouns I really believe in, make life easier, are more “Earth-friendly”, and bring a smile to my face. I have some great upcoming posts (in my unique writing style of making you cry and laugh) up my sleeve, don’t you worry.

Day 6 of My Favorite Things: Mabel’s Labels

A little secret: In case you missed it – at the bottom of each post I wrote: “Visit me on Facebook. Follow me on Twitter. Love me forever. #MintChipMama31DaystilBTS” For each “Love me forever” I linked to a different picture of myself from all around the world. I had so much fun reliving my past 36 years. I forgot I used to do fun and cool stuff before my title was “Mom”. I hope you enjoyed them too. If you missed one they are all posted on my Facebook page.

Day 13 of My Favorite Things: Fruit of the Loom

Finally – As I said when I started this odyssey these are all brands I really use and believe in for years. I cannot thank the brands and their Public Relations teams enough for believing in me – a new comer to this Mommy Blogging world. As Travis Birkenstock said “Thank you for taking a chance on an unknown kid”. I look forward to working with you all again in the future!
