I was supposed to announce the winner of "Best Shirtless Smash" today but at the moment it is tied between Edward and Keeley. SO. I'm gonna put the two of them up for a tiebreaker vote on the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage this afternoon. Probably around 3pm. Winner gets a Colossal Cupcake ($42) from Crumbs Bake Shop and a guaranteed spot in "Best Overall Smash" on December 9th.

Secondly, congrats to April Peris who is the winner of an $18 Crumbs gift card. Try not to smear your free baked goods all over your face.

I'll be giving out another Colossal Cupcake today for "Messiest Smash", but first I've got some things to discuss.

MOMMY SHORTS: THE SHOW

Episode1thumbnailThis week I debuted the first episode of my YouTube show. You can read all about how I'm trying to get over the whole camera-shy thing here.

Well.

The reviews are in and you guys all had super kind stuff to say like:

"I don't hate it!" — Kande

"My two-year-old liked it."Greta

"Totally not awkward."Alyssa

"I can't actually watch the video but I'm sure it's amazing!" — Emily

Thank you to everyone who commented, critiqued and subscribed. Also, it appears that you all want hair tips. This means in addition to making another video, I will have to clean my bathroom so I am comfortable filming there. Awesome. 

If you haven't seen my show yet, you can check it out here. If you like it, please subscribe because I'm not sure if I'll post every episode on the blog. (Plus, seeing that subscription number tick up is my new favorite thing.)

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS: MOMMY EDITION

Screen shot 2011-11-17 at 10.00.01 PMEarlier this week, Rants from Mommyland asked me to judge their First World Problems: Mommy Edition. (I even listed ten of my own.)

Well, they ended up with 500 ENTRIES (read them all here and here) of which I had to narrow down to TEN.

Not an easy task, my friends.

Not to mention, I had things to do yesterday like complain that my fresh sushi wasn't delivered straight to my doorstep as quickly as I would have liked.

Life is so HARD.

Check out the top ten "First World Problems" over at Rants today.

COLOSSAL CAKE SMASH SMACKDOWN: ROUND 2

Next up, we've got Round Two of the Cake Smash Smackdown sponsored by Crumbs Bake Shop. This round we're doing MESSIEST. I will try my best to think of a caption for each one besides "If I stare too hard, I might puke." Seriously, that almost happened with Aiden's picture below.

Remember to vote for your favorite at the bottom!

And the "MESSIEST SMASH" NOMINEES are…

Winner gets an obscenely delicious Colossal Cupcake ($42) from Crumbs delivered to their door and will be up for "Best Overall Smash" and an $100 Crumbs Gift Card on December 9th.

You can still enter cake smash pictures by posting them on the wall of the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage. And if you've got a kid in the Cake Smash Album, please tag your photo because it is the easiest way for me to notify you if your kid makes it in.

Alright. That's it.

Have a good weekend!
