While I’m still out partying at the UBP, I made a little pit stop to hangout with Mrs. C.
That’s right, I’m the featured blogger today at one of my daily reads, Hanging with Mrs. Cooper.
If you’ve never hung out with Mrs. C - gasp! - now would be a great time to do so.

Party Over Here
The Ultimate Blog Party, of course.
I got my party on last year with the fabulous ladies at 5 Minutes for Mom and had so much fun I had to break out my little black party dress to do it again.
What’s The Ultimate Blog Party? Damn if I know, I’m just waiting for someone to bring me a drink. OK, seriously, it’s a way to build online friendships and discover new blogs. You give a little love, get a little love and have tons of fun doing it.
This is the part where I’m supposed to share a little about myself… I’m a wife, mother, daughter, sister, author, freelance magazine writer, personal trainer, NBA and NFL fanatic, tennis player, chocolate connoisseur, beer drinker, music lover, blah, blah, blah. You can read more than you probably want to know about me here, so I’ll just give you the juicy stuff:
Husband and I are celebrating ten years of marriage this May – our life changing wedding was featured on The Learning Channel’s popular show “A Wedding Story.” We have two beautiful, busy children: Miles is 7 and Milan is 5 going on 15.
Last October my sister, a girlfriend and I boarded Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas and embarked on a two week cruisetour throughout the Mediterranean. Madrid, Toledo, Barcelona, Cannes, Florence, Venice and Capri are just a few of the fabulous cities we explored. Our adventures on land and at sea were filmed and aired March 21 on the Travel Channel’s series “Great Cruises: Why Not The Mediterranean.” If you missed the show it will re-air on April 18 at 8 p.m. and on May 24 at 8 p.m. on The Travel Channel. You can also visit my other blog, Ask Wifey, to view the commercial and a short clip from the show.
Speaking of blogs, come see me at Ask Wifey where I do my best to manage marriage, motherhood and all the mayhem. Once a week I host Wifey’s Q and A and the rest of the time I’m dishing about hot topics and inviting real moms and wives like you to share their experiences and words of wisdom. Wifey’s House is my personal blog where I let it all hang out. Not really. Well, sort of.
For those of you new to Wifey’s House, come on in, stay awhile and leave me a comment so I can visit you, too. For those of you who have witnessed my chaos already, glad to see you were brave enough to come back, please leave me a comment and let me know why.
Now excuse me while I go get my party on. Um, where’s that drink?

I'm Late... But Passin' Out Bling
Friday’s confession…
I’m late. I have been tagged, awarded, and memed; and am just now posting about it. I’ve fallen in love with blogging and have truly met some incredible people doing it. I appreciate all you lovely ladies who gave me a shout, please know you are always welcome at Wifey’s House! I have two awards to pass out today and will tackle the memes next week.
Now here’s my attempt to give a little back…
The Restless Housewife and Monkey Toe Momma were sweet enough to give me the You Make My Day Award.
There weren’t any rules with that one so I’m combining it with this one…
The I Love Your Blog award was passed on to me from the wonderful Terri Rainer.
Here are the rules:
1. The winner can put the logo on their blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs you’ve nominated.
I am passing them both along to:
Mocha Momma
Caffeine Court
Enjoyceinglife
MoziEsme
The Dana Files
Immoral Matriarch
Workout Mommy!
While all of these blogs are uniquely different, they are each outstanding in their own right. Some of them I’ve just started reading, while some of them were my firsts in this wide, wild, world of blogging.
Kudos to you ladies for creating such fabulous blogs and thanks for doing what you do…

Who Me? Nah, Really? Well, OK!
I had to read the comment twice when Jenny at Daily Dose of Motherhood let me know she honored me with the Arte Y Pico Award. I know, I know, it’s not a Grammy or good old Oscar, but it’s recognition for what I do and for me that feels just as good. So Jenny, I appreciate you and I will gladly pass the award on to five other deserving bloggers.
Here are the rules:
1) Choose 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award based on creativity, design, interesting material, and overall contribution to the blogger community, regardless of the language.
2) Post the name of the author and a link to his or her blog by so everyone can view it.
3) Each award-winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award.
4) The award-winner and the presenter should post the link of the “Arte Y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5) Please post these rules.
There are so many blogs that I would love to acknowledge, but I can only choose five, so here we go:
Monkey Toe Momma @ Donna Reed in Blue Jeans
Angela @ Becoming Me
Mozi Esme @ Mozi Esme
CP and Kim/2Kids @ 3 Giraffes
White Hot Magik @White Hot Magik
Ladies, get your acceptance speeches ready…

100 Posts, But Who's Counting
Friday’s confession …
This is my 100th blog post and I must admit, I keep peeking around corners waiting for the balloons, confetti and a slick talking man with a plastic smile, bad hair and a checkered colored suit holding a microphone to run up and congratulate me with an oversize $10,000,00 check.
OK, I’m awake now … but it is a big deal to me. Especially since I’m still riding the high from BlogHer ’08. I remember my first post like it was yesterday, OK, it was only six months ago, but still. I tend to get a little dramatic when I’m emotional, bear with me.
Even though no surprise celebrations have happened thus far, I must say on this momentous day, it’s nice to be mentioned… no featured, no… to have my face plastered on one of my favorite blogger’s post, ahem, Mocha Momma, ahem – even if it is because no one really knows who the hell I am or can tell any of “us” apart.
Thanks to all of you who have read any of the first 100 … here’s to 100’s more to come!

I Left My Baggage in San Francisco
Not literally, I carried on the plane, but I did leave some emotional baggage in the city where Frank left his heart.
Before I get into that, I must say that BlogHer ’08, the reason I was in San Fran, was absolutely fabulous. It was organized, informative, enlightening, inspirational and oh yes, the parties were the bomb. I learned a lot, laughed a lot and was so pleased to see that 1,000 women could get together and lift each other up instead of knocking each other down. That’s a whole lot of estrogen in one place!
It was great to meet some of the women behind my favorite blogs – The Restless Housewife, Mocha Momma, The Dana Files, Mommy Needs a Cocktail and of course Motherhood Uncensored – and to learn that they are just as smart, funny and dynamic in person as they appear on the screen. I made some new friends – two of the lovely women from 3 giraffes were so kind to me at the Newbie Mixer where they instantly adopted me and became my brand new publicists telling everyone “She’s from Wifey’s House and she wrote a book!” I also found a variety of diverse blogs – the Immoral Matriarch, Gwen Bell and many others – that I can’t wait to explore more.
Oh, I would be remiss if I didn’t say one of the highlights of conference was getting to hang out with Grover and Abby Cadabby in the Sesame Street Suite. I don’t know who loved my personalized video with Grover more – me, Husband or the kids.
Ok, back to the baggage. Over the past month I’ve been feeling like I’m spinning my wheels but barely moving forward. Launching my book, trying to grow my website, my blogs, doing freelance work and oh yes, running the Robertson household has been a bit taxing … Ok, really, it’s been hard as hell! For the past few weeks I’ve realized that I need to make some changes. I need to work smarter, a little harder and need a well planned schedule to pull it all together. I’ve been doing some research, some reading and a whole lot of thinking which cumulated this weekend in San Francisco. What better place to get motivation from than a sea of women leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators?
By the time I got on the plane heading back to Atlanta I felt recharged, reenergized and refocused. I’m looking forward to making some positive changes in my life so that I can stop the spinning, drop the baggage and move forward to achieve my goals.
Oh, I was also looking forward to getting back into the Hotlanta heat. If anyone tries to warn you about the weather in San Francisco listen. It’s cold as shit out there!

My Cards, My Shoes and a Big Girl Pill … BlogHer ’08, Here I Come!
I was up late last night reading the agenda for the BlogHer '08 Conference this weekend in San Francisco. There’s a great deal of information, guides and helpful post to get you prepared and gassed to go. And I must admit I am … excited to go. Excited and a little anxious.
I’m used to having people over Wifey’s House, and I’m no stranger to conferences and networking events, but still, there’s something different about preparing to go to the largest women’s blogging conference when you’ve fallen in love with blogging, still consider yourself a newbie, and don’t know ONE person attending. Yikes.
After reading a ton of welcoming advice from previous BlogHer attendees, my nerves chilled out and the excitement kicked in. I pulled out my business cards, a cute pair of shoes and took a big girl pill. Sometimes you just got to suck it, get yourself out there and enjoy the moment; and that’s exactly what I plan to do.
If you’re attending BlogHer, don’t be shy, please walk up and say hi; and I’ll make sure to do the same. I haven’t mapped out my outfits yet, but I’ll be the one in the cute red shoes.

Wifey's Renovations
The renovations at Wifey’s House are complete. Thanks to the fabulous Trendy Mommy Blog Designs and compliments of Un-domestic Mama – I won the blog makeover in her contest – Wifey’s House has a brand new look!
I’m loving it and think I might sit out on the front lawn and admire the view for a little while.
Big Smiles,

The Ultimate Blog Party!
I love a great party, so when I came across The Ultimate Blog Party I had to dust off my cute little party dress and join the fun.
A little about me …
I’m a wife, mother, freelance writer, music lover, tennis player, chocolate connoisseur, NBA fanatic, blah, blah, blah. Husband and I have been happily married for almost nine years and have two wonderful children – Miles, 6, and Milan, 4 going on 14. My life-changing wedding was featured on The Learning Channel’s popular television show “A Wedding Story.”
In my previous life, before kids, I was an entertainment publicist for a popular record company. I happily left the jet-set life of catering to superstars so that I could stay at home and cater to my own little superstars. In addition to freelance writing, I recently wrote a book, Help! I'm a Newlywed… What Do I Do Now? Wife-Saving Advice Every New Bride Must Know to Survive the First Year of Marriage. Special advance copies will be available in April 2008. I also recently launched AskWifey.com. The site offers wives and mothers straight-forward, practical advice to help make managing marriage and motherhood easier; and features my weekly Ask Wifey column.
At Wifey’s House I pretty much blog about marriage and motherhood. I think marriage too often takes a backseat to motherhood so I will often bring it to the forefront. Every Wednesday at Wifey’s House is Hump Day when I post something about sex. We wives and mothers are so busy that our sex lives often suffer the most. Hump Day is intended to put a little spark into our week and hopefully keep the fire burning. On Fridays I normally confess something. I don’t know why I feel the need to tell on myself, I guess a little confession is good for the soul. Other days are a free-for-all peek into Wifey’s House. Please do come back and visit. I love company and would love to check out your house, too!
My prize picks are:
#91, Burts Bees Naturally Ageless Skin Care Line provided by Geggie at So, What Else? What Else? What Else?
And …
#117, $25 gift certificate to Target offered by Mommy Bytes (I live in Target!)
Oh, I almost forgot. I am offering a signed special advance copy of my new book as a prize, too, so make sure to come join the fun!
Happy partying…
Smiles,
Wifey
Update - I just got word that due to an overwhelming response the prize donation list is closed. I will still gladly give the book away, just leave me a comment before the end of the day Friday, March 14, midnight PST, and you will automatically qualify to win.
