Dream Contest
Tommy Hilfiger and Glamour magazine are holding a "make your dream come true" contest, where they will document making three dreams come true. (Off the top of my head, I think that they have to be able to make the dream come true for $10,000 or less and it has to be doable within a week's timeframe.)
When I read about the contest, I thought that I would have a hard time narrowing down my dream. When I really thought about it though, I didn't have any dreams for myself that fell within those parameters. [A brownstone costs more than $10,000!] Overall, it made me think of how lucky I am to be living out my dreams daily in the best city on the planet. I did enter though. My dream was to treat my mom from Virginia like the star that she is for a few days in NYC (luxe hotel; pampering day spa; Fifth Avenue shopping spree; and dinner and a Broadway show). We could do these things for her one by one, but it would be nice to do it all in one shot.
Anyway, take some time to dream (for yourself and/or for your loved ones) and enter the contest at http://glamalert.com/dreamingcontest/. Good luck!

Work/life Balance Survey
In case you're interested...
Villanova University is doing a study about what mothers want from the workplace. They are specifically interested in what stay-at-home moms will need if/when they decide to eventually pursue work outside of the home (e.g., what will they need as they transition back into the workforce? Onsite childcare? Flexible work hours? Supportive boss?).
If you're interested in taking their survey, click here.

SheSpeaks and Vocalpoint
I ran across this section in Trendwatching which mentions two services that I like to use. You might want to try them out. They're informative (and you get to try out free products!).
"Women in the United States can now sign up to test-drive new products in exchange for their honest opinions and reviews at SheSpeaks. Here's how it works: when users sign up, they complete a questionnaire about their interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. SheSpeaks selects an appropriate product match, which the members receive in two to three weeks. Products are theirs to keep, and to try out in their own homes and as part of their everyday lives. In exchange, members provide their candid feedback online on the SheSpeaks website. Discussion boards allow testers to exchange views and opinions with other women who have tested the same products. After the review process, users can get the scoop on how their reviews may have impacted a product before it goes to market, which creates a nice feedback loop. Over 30,000 women from across the country have already signed up.
Procter & Gamble's Vocalpoint has a similar set up, but obviously focuses on P&G products ("for moms") only. According to BusinessWeek, Vocalpoint had more than 600,000 members in 2006. Time to partner with these folks?"

New York Office of The Mom Corps Opens
FYI:
"I am incredibly excited to announce that I am opening the New York Office of an amazing company called Mom Corps (www.momcorps.com). Mom Corps is an innovative staffing company that connects highly skilled mothers with flexible work assignments.
Mom Corps was founded in 2005 by Allison Karl O'Kelly, entrepreneur, CPA and Harvard MBA, and attracts highly accomplished business women in a variety of professional fields including accounting, law, human resources, medicine, marketing and general business. Our candidates are the highest caliber professionals with proven experience and nationally recognized top degrees. We work with corporations to identify project, part-time and contract flexible positions that require the high-level expertise and experience of our candidates. The obvious benefits are that corporations operate more productively without incurring additional overhead or benefits, while working mothers are able to achieve a far more effective and satisfying work/life balance.
Studies have shown that 37% of highly qualified women voluntarily leave their high powered jobs for some time period. Usually this hiatus is prompted by family responsibility. Of these women, 90% are interested in returning to work but require some level of flexibility. We know the talent is out there. And that's what we do - we find them and match their skill sets with the companies that need them.
This organization is putting into practice an idea whose time has come and I could't be more thrilled to head up this endeavor in the tri-state area. I love New York and I believe that with the talent pool in our area and Mom Corps expertise we couldn't be better positioned to spearhead this effort in one of the most challenging and dynamic marketplaces in the world.
Please make a note of my contact information and feel free to share this email with other talented friends or colleagues who may be interested in learning more about Mom Corps. If you know any professional women who are currently looking to get back into the workforce or who would like to explore more flexible options, please direct them to our website www.momcorps.com where they can submit their resume.
Thanks so much and drop me a line if you have any questions.
Regards,
Linda"

Chicken Pox Party - NOT
A producer left me a message inquiring about chicken pox parties...whether our members participate in them or if I knew of one that was coming up.
Previously, I had read a couple of articles about these "parties" but didn't take it too seriously. Apparently these parties are more prevalent than I had thought. It appears that many families in the United States are organizing disease parties to expose their children to chicken pox rather than use the chicken pox vaccine.
Either the women I know (and I know hundreds of women) aren't participating in this trend or they are keeping very quiet about their involvement. Personally, I would never willfully expose my child to disease. (I feel guilty when he gets sick after playing with a child whom I knew was sick with a cold!) I'm not 100% on my opinion about the chickenpox vaccine yet, but if (and when) my child catches chicken pox, it will be the old-fashioned way...by accident!
