Stay tuned... because this is one very "chic" item you will not want to miss.

MicroBlogginMom's date with The Ultimate Blog Party!

I’m still kind of new to blogging but have made great contacts & met some very cool people these past few months. As I surfed blogs this week, I stumbled upon the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. What luck... to have the opportunity to connect & meet so many bloggers out there with similar interests. This is definitely a party I didn't want to miss.

About MicroBlogginMom
By day, I am a full time meeting manager, managing two 2-day training events per week for a training institute in Silicon Valley, CA.

By evening/night I am a full time mom & wife, managing a busy household. My responsibilities revolve around an over-worked, multi-tasking, Silicon Valley geek husband; a 4.5 year old princess ballerina; AND a “terrible 2” (but too cute) little man.

I love anything related to my “real time” life experiences. Which currently includes, Motherhood, Girlie Gadgets, Beauty, Fashion, anything Chic & Savvy AND of course sweet Deals & Bargains. Whenever this MicroBlogginMom has “5 Minutes for Mom” I can be found reading blogs, writing blogs, or tweet-ing!

Continue to follow this MicroBlogginMom and I will continue to share with you “tidbits” “tweets” “links” “cool finds” “short stories” “giveaways” and more of the joys, adventures, as well as challenges of being a busy working mom still wondering if there will ever be more than 24-hours in day.

I invite you take a look around, check-out my current giveaway, leave a comment, subscribe to my blog, and/or follow me on twitter @MicroBlogginMom! And of course keep party hopping, there are so many great blogs out there to explore.

Hip... Hip... Hip Hop... Baby!

Another great blog giveaway from MicroBlogginMom.




Last month, I discovered "It’s Hip Hop, Baby!" created by Candi Carter [fellow mother of two]. These DVDs & CDs teach children to experience the joys of learning their ABC's, numbers, body parts, and more through very "hip" music & dance. Celebrities such as Justin Chambers [from the hit ABC show, Grey's Anatomy], Actress Holly Robinson Peete, Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson, & more are raving about "It's Hip Hop, Baby!"

Winner of the iParenting Media Award, three new titles of "It's Hip Hop, Baby!" are being released this Tuesday, March 17th. You can check them out and order on Amazon.com.

My kids LOVE to dance. No exaggeration there. My 4.5YO daughter mostly grooves to Hannah Montana, High School Musical, & more. My 2YO son on the other hand loves to groove to anything with a "hip" beat. So when I got my hands on "It’s Hip Hop, Baby!"... I immediately popped it into my DVD player and watched the entertainment begin.

It was hilarious to see how quickly & easily my son focused his attention to the TV. He especially loved watching [and following] kids like him dance & grove to "Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes." What shocked me even more, was when it actually captured my daughter's attention as well. How cool is that... a musical DVD that can capture the attention of a toddler as well as a preschooler.

"It's Hip Hop, Baby!" is truly Education and Fun all wrapped up into one!
