Get shopping now -- think about upcoming holiday gifts. Birthdays, baby showers, hostess gifts, raffle prizes, 4th of July . . . and of course, it's never to early to start Christmas shopping. Father's Day is coming up - get your husband or dad that cute purse he's always wanted . . . to give you. And please spread the word!
From now until 11:59 pm on June 13th participating vendors will be donating up to 100% of their sales toward the relief effort in Joplin. They will be giving to a reputable relief organization or joining with me in giving a gift card directly to my cousins who lost their house in the tornado. Here is what is left of it . . .
Here are my featured "Shop for Jop" vendors who are donating 10%-100% of their sales to help Joplin people. If you are interested being a "Shop for Jop" vendor link up below and then leave a comment letting people know a bit about your shop, how much you will be donating, and to what organization!

Totally Desperate Mom is a book of humor and encouragement for moms with young kids.

This also not made by an 8-year old in a third world country although many children provided the material for much of this book.
$12 per book. Shipping for up 3 books only costs $5.

In addition to doing shopping there are other ways you can help in the "Shop for Jop" campaign.
1. Give directly to my cousins Shane and Linn via a check or gift cards. Please email me if you want to give directly to them and I will give you their mailing address. However, I know some of you might feel uncomfortable with that because you don't know me or them and fear they might buy booze and boob jobs with the money. In that case . . .
2. Give directly to a reputable relief organization that is helping in Joplin like World Vision or The Red Cross. I know some of you have already done this - THANK YOU!
3. SPREAD THE WORD! Please grab a button (on my side bar) and mention this on your blog so others will get shopping and/or giving. Please tweet and facebook about this as well. If you go to the top left of the post you can simply click on "tweeted" and it will provide the link for you. You can also "like" this on facebook by clicking at the bottom the post.
4. If you live anywhere close to Joplin then you can support my cousins by going to their salon The White Rhino and getting your hair done! I trusted Shane to my hair for my wedding and gave him free reign with it. He did an awesome job and you will love him!

Welcome friends, family, randoms, lurkers, blog addicts, fellow desperate moms, and Bono. This blog consists of mostly funny stuff that will make you feel better about yourself. Lots of mom comedy, non-Kodak moments, and un-fashion tips. On Wednesdays I write about my life as a former childhood actress complete with posts about how the entertainment business works, actors I met (or stalked), people and animals I worked with, my Hollywood friends, and photos of former teen heartthrobs. And if that’s not enough to draw you in to follow me . . . I have done some amazing giveaways. A rubber chicken, millions of doll hairs, and unlimited supplies of air. Come join the party.
