Mommy Madness Season 3
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
I like to think of myself of a guru who keeps up with everything the Web has to offer in the mom space, but I must say, I had no idea about the Mommy Madness webisodes on LifetimeTV.com. Guess I'm not a guru after all.
The weekly series "Mommy Madness" stars Angela Hoover, a mom, comedian and part-time bookkeeper who just moved to Vegas with her two small children and lovable husband! I watched nearly all of the archived videos and they are quite funny, light-hearted, and entertaining. Take a look:

Buy Holidays Gifts + Help 350,000 Victims of Violence
Monday, December 15, 2008
I absolutely hate thinking about child abuse because I cannot imagine an adult who could harm a child. But as much as I hate to think about it, I do realize that tens of thousands of children are abused each and every day and it breaks my heart. At least there are organizations like Safe Horizon that care enough about these innocent children to work tirelessly to save them from harm.
This fall, Safe Horizon launched Hope Shining - a national initiative to raise awareness of child abuse. In addition to Hope Shining, Safe Horizon also created the Hope Shop where you can purchase holiday gifts such as their hope bracelet, silk tie, magnet, or Hope Shining silver necklace at their Hope Shop where 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding programs for children who are abused.
