Turn it Up Tuesday 72 - The Mom Maven

Well, football season is officially over. We had a lot of fun hanging with family, eating junk food and watching the game and commercials. I’m not a huge Katy Perry fan but I really enjoyed the half time show. My favorite commercial was the BMW one with Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric-I just feel bad for Allison because it seems she hasn’t had a job promotion in over 20 years! Whatever you did to celebrate the Super Bowl, I hope you had a great time. Now we look forward to our other 2 favorite sports seasons…NASCAR starts in 2 weeks and MLB pitchers and catchers report in 3 weeks! Now, on to this week’s linky!

Welcome to the 72nd week of Turn It Up Tuesday!

SPONSOR OF THE MONTH

Moms: As Elite as the CIA…Well Almost

Andrea Keeney is a writer, blogger, mother, and wife. She is the creator of the blog, Parenting with Parents as well as the author of the book, Moms: As Elite as the C.I.A….Well Almost. When she isn’t pursuing her dreams of writing she is taking care of her three small children.

Attention! There is an elite group of women walking freely among the average citizens of the world. These freakishly instinctive beings are capable of physical, mental, and emotional acts of greatness. They tend to appear irritated, exhausted, and are almost always bombarded by very tiny renegades who are whining and/or yelling. These women come in many shapes and sizes, however they all respond to a single name: Mom. If you know one of these women, if you are one of these women, or if you are going to be one of these women, you need this book!
