Have you heard about the Energizer Keep Going Hall of Fame? It is a really cool program that honors regular people who show great perseversence in their life every day. I think this is a great idea because everyone knows at least person who “always keeps going”. No matter what challenges or obstacles they are faced with they keep going. You can nominate your mom, sister, best friend, co-worker or someone in your community.
There are only four members in the Energizer Keep Going Hall of Fame but they are looking for an inductee for 2009. The winner will get a cash prize of $10,000 and $5,000 for a charity of their choice. The winner will even be honored at a special awards ceremony. What a good way to help out someone you care about and that deserves to be in this hall of fame. You only have until March 31, 2009 to nominate someone.
So do you know who you want to nominate? Who is that one person you know that is unstoppable? Head on over now to the Energizer Keep Going Hall of fame to put in your nomination.
The nominees will be narrowed to a field of 100 semifinalists who will be honored in their hometowns. Then the judges will select 10 finalists whose names and stories will be posted online. At that point, all America will be given a chance to select the winner through an online vote. The voting will take place starting June 26, 2009. Each vote will trigger a $1.00 donation from Energizer to the Cal Ripken, Sr., Foundation, up to $10,000. Isn’t that wonderful?
Here is a link to the rules and facts in case you have any questions.
The great ladies of MomDot have started a fun meme. It is called Small Talk Six. This is a meme where you can make a short or eleborate post in response to the assigned topic of the week. You can respond to each topic with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs or 6 photographs.
This week’s topic is: 6 things you love or hate about springtime
1. Allergies: Hate! I don’t have any but Jazz and TJ do and they get bad. I really hate seeing them not feel well.
2. Rain: Hate! Sometimes when it rains I find it relaxing but when it starts to rain a lot I start to worry about flooding.
3. Fishing: Hate/love! I personally don’t care for fishing (I think it is boring). My husband loves it. Spring for him means fishing almost everyday if he can. It makes him happy though.
4. Playing outside: Love! Even though I am not a big outdoors person, I love that my kids finally get a chance to go and play without getting sick. Being cooped up all winter is hard on them.
5. Longer days: Love! I never feel like I have enough time to get everything done so I look forward to being able to get that extra hour.
6.Bugs: Hate!! Spring means soon there will be ants, wasps, bees and such. Creepy crawlies always freak me out.
Wow I can not believe how quickly the Ultimate Blog Party came this year! I am so excited. I absolutely love online parties. If this is your first time here, I would like to welcome you to 1stopmom. Feel free to have a look around. You will find a little bit of everything here. I talk about my four kids, my husband, my niece, video games, saving money, cool sites, t.v. shows and the list goes on and on, lol. Guess I should say a few things about myself. I am a little quirky and love all my bloggy friends. I am a stay at home mom of four who makes diaper cakes when I am not visiting blogs and entering giveaways. I am a big kid at heart and a proud work in progress. I have been married to my best friend for almost 13 years. In addition to this site I also have a review and giveaway site.
I met lots of great people at last year’s party and can’t wait to make some new ones this year. Be sure to leave a link to your site/blog below so I can keep track and visit you all 
Now, what is a party without prizes? The Ultimate Blog Party has tons of them (including one of my diaper cupcakes) so make sure enter.
The prizes I would love to win are:

The rest of my list include numbers 8,12,15,21,63,60 and 47.
am a big fan of Johnson’s products. Earlier this year was the launch of JOHNSON’S® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash. As a part of this launch, Johson’s is having a contest to find hosts for its Youtube Baby Channel.
The contest is pretty easy to enter. Parents, with children under the age of six, just need to upload an under three-minute video that features tips to enhance a child’s bath time experience. The grand prize winner will be awarded $10,000 to start a college fund, and the top 3 will have the opportunity to be selected as the new hosts of the JOHNSON’S® Baby YouTube channel. JOHNSON’S® execs and actress (and mom of three) Angie Harmon have the honor of selecting the finalists. Submissions end on April 16. For more rules and regulations – or to upload your video – go to www.youtube.com/baby.
Thanks Mom Central for letting me know about this great opportunity!
