Fundraisers love BusyBodyBook organizers! Of course!

Lots of moms are busier than ever  fundraising for their schools, groups, or organizations and we've  been helping them by supplying the information regarding our own very easy BBB fundraiser program, answering their questions and shipping out their orders (most times by the case!)

For those who are up to their ears in wrapping paper or drowning in chocolate chip cookie dough  BusyBodyBook organizers are  not only unique products to offer,  the beauty is that all of our products truly benefit all of their busy participants - every day! In addition, and most important to their goal, fundraisers reap a whopping 40% of sales.

Interested? Just email us to request BBB Fundraiser information which includes:

1. Dear Fundraiser   - a full description of our fundraising program and its benefits
2. Dear "Parent" - a letter of intro to your group's members that may be customized with a groups contact information

3. Product Information - a full description of the BBB product line

4. Order Form - to customize with group's contact information to distribute with Product Information

BusyBodyBook also makes a fabulous gift at the holidays and the new year.  They're always needed and they're a great price for stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, friends, relatives or teachers too.

The 5 BusyBodyBook Winners Are....

Before listing the winners of our BusyBodyBook Contest I first have to thank you all for sharing your precious time writing, your humor, and even more important, for helping us all be much more understanding and compassionate with ourselves. What a relief it is to know that we are not alone!

Although most here are parents, today,  just by virtue of being a breathing adult, we are ALL inundated and overwhelmed by our responsibilities. To our credit, we take these responsibilities seriously - and, perhaps for this reason, our brains, on overload, sometimes just shut down. Whether we bathe our children while we pass through the carwash, lock ourselves out of home or car, set off a false fire alarms, or somehow disappoint -  we have to remember that we have only the best of intentions and when everything seems to run amok, giggle!

And now, congratulations to the 5 lucky winners of BusyBodyBook Personal & Family Organizer!!!

#1.  Kristi Lindstrom

#2.  Angela Frankenfield

#3.  Jo Van Asten

#4.  Cathy Schiffman

#5.  Megan Murphy

Please let me know if you prefer the Academic, Aug '07 - Sept '08 or the Jan - Dec 2008 version of BBB and which design. And, please remember to send us your address!

(BTW, inspired by your  stories, I've now nicknamed BusyBodyBook, "The 'Write' Side of Our Brain". When all else fails, put it on paper.)

Thanks again and have a very relaxing and fun weekend!

Why not have our own BBB Contest? Big DUH!

                          Win A Free BusyBodyBook!

With all the others offering to run a BusyBodyBook contest, how is it that this Duhm-Mum didn't think of running her own contest and giveaway?!   Enough speculating about that.

xxxxx

I'm finally running my own BusyBodyBook contest. Anyone who wants to enter please tell me your worst organizing nightmare or your "DUH" parenting moment.  I really need a good laugh this time of year! -Hey, you just might win 1 of 5 BBB giveaways.

xxxxx

Just write your story below in the "Comments" box by Thursday, August 2. 2007  at 8pm EST.  I'll announce the 5 lucky winners of a new BBB on Friday, Augst 3rd. (My son Jake gets to pick them out of his baseball cap). So Simple!

xxxxx

Don't forget to add your email address - how else can I contact the winners?  (I promise not to share your email address with the entire blogosphere. )

P.S. If you haven't already, download summer '07 Weekly GRIDs at our website to get started planning and organizing August and back to school!

A HUGE THANKS to the Mommies who blog!

The hottest and one of my favorite ways to introduce BusyBodyBook has been to request that  the Chiefs of our target market, blogging moms, test out BBB themselves and review it for their readers. With so many of us needing better and easier everything these days, in this case a cool tool to organize our waking (and sleeping) hours, who's better than a Mommy that Blogs to advise us???   As with more conventional reviews (magazine, newpaper, radio and TV), a positive review creates a terrific buzz. And, I am thrilled to say that the raves have been overwhelming, the  offers to run giveaways at their sites SO validating.

...........

Mommy bloggers - you have to love them!  Great job!!! Helping spread the good word about any product or service to their readers serves us all well.

...........

Most recently, Amy of "Mums The Wurd", Debbie of Mamanista! and Mir of Want Not have made a big splash about BBB - and I love them for it!!! And, Heather, the Domestic Diva is all over the BBB Fridge GRID Pad! What's really very cool is that Sara at Self-Made Mom is a techie at heart but still sees the versatility of BBB's columns for planning so much more than just family schedules.

Of course, let me never forget my own neice, Jill of Silicon Valley Moms Blog, who has spent  a LOT of time and energy the past years helping me get BBB out.  Always the BBB fan, Jill is now creating a sensational network of bloggers - her latest, the Chicago Moms Blog. BTW - they are currently seeking NYC mommies who would like to write for their NYC site. Check out the site and contact Jill for the details.

...........

Let's face it - we are all blabbers.  We're up on what's new, we ask questions and  listen, we're smart about our choices, we love to share, and do we ever love to talk about everything that is about parenting our kids (and Dad too!).

BTW - We are considering more giveaways over the next few weeks (and then again before the winter holidays).

AND - If you're interested in posting a review and/or a contest for BBB please contact me at joanatbusybodybookdotcom.

The NEW BBB Organizer Editions look like an accessory!

I'm dancing around, hugging my advance copies of the new BusyBodyBook Personal & Family Organizer editions. They are simply gorgeous! Eye candy! WOW!!! A BBB accessory!    Kudos to my new designer, Colleen Miller, and our always fabulous printer, Asia Pacific Offset.

Each edition comes in a choice of 2 delicious cover designs, with newly designed pages -the all famous Weekly GRID and all the features everyone needs and loves!

                              The 2 New BusyBodyBook Editions

                 Aug '07 - Sept '08                        Jan - Dec  2008

Once again, our Once again, oOnce againur Once again, our customer's feedback has inspired us to offer you a choice of either the back to school or the new year edition, to put the months-at-a-glance up front and give back the ToDoodles page at the beginning of each month with even more room to scribble (no photos). PERFECT! Post a comment and let me know what you think.

They're not at our new distributor yet but you can pre-order at this link to reserve your new BBB and receive it at the end of May.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts! (Even Jake says he'll use "STRIPES" for school next year).
