March 8, 2010 by Momstart 26 Comments

Being one of The View Brand Ambassadors has been a lot of fun. I’ve been keeping the #theviewmoms twitter feed open on my tweetdeck and following what people like and don’t like. I also get the scoop on what’s going on this coming week. Even though, I’m pretty sure if you Googled it or watched the promos on TV you could figure it out too. 😉

This Week:

MONDAY, MARCH 8 – The day after the Oscars!! It Isn’t over till the co-hosts have spoken! Guest co-host Vanessa Williams (“ABC’s Ugly Betty”); Day of “Hot Topics”; co-host Sherri Shepherd will Skype live from Hollywood post-Academy Awards and share her Oscar experience; Chris Cuomo breaks down crimes in the headlines. First time musical guests – Lady Antebellum perform
TUESDAY, MARCH 9 – Guests -Andy Garcia and his daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorido (“City Island”); Elissa Stein and Susan Kim (author, Flow: The Cultural Story of Menstruation).
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10 – Guests: Forest Whitaker (“Our Family Wedding”); Jesse Ventura (author, American Conspiracies).
THURSDAY, MARCH 11 – Sir Elton John will be sitting with the women at the table and partaking in “Hot Topics”; Guest – Eric McCormack (“Who Is Clark Rockefeller?”).
FRIDAY, MARCH 12 – Co- Host Kate Gosselin is back and will join the women and the return of “The View: Fashion Friday” with designer Carolina Herrera.

If you miss an episode you can tune in watch episodes of The View on ABC or Fancast.com.

Now I see that on Friday Kate Gosselin is going to be back on. She will bring an interesting perspective to the table talking about Fashion. What do you think of her new hair, I think it’s a bit too much like Brittney Spears if you ask me. You’re a mom of 8 Kate!. My hair dresser likes it though, except she thought the extensions looked a little fake.

You can Win:

the official “The View Spring Coffee Mug” – just like the mug the women will be using later this month.

Octomom will be on The View Wednesday

February 22, 2010 by Momstart 2 Comments

What’s your take on the Octomom? Everyone has heard of her. Nadya Suleman gave birth to 8 children in January 2009, after already having six kids all over in vitro fertilization. She has had quite the public life now and most of it seems to be quite unpleasant with constant death threats and protestors. However, she has been on fox, and on a reality TV show for the UK. Let’s see what the girls on The View have to say to her, I know they have talked about her before and you can watch the video of the view’s view of octomom. I expect quite the controversy.

I can’t imagine taking care of that many children, I have two and there are days I’m going crazy and she’s a single parent. How in the world can you take care of that many children?

The Schedule for the rest of the week:

Tuesday, Feb 23: The controversial cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore will be joining the Women live on Tuesday. This will be an interesting show to see how the cast and the women interact!
Wednesday, Feb 24: Nadya Suleman who famously gave birth to octuplets last year will be making her first trip to NYC to chat live with the Women of the View. Author Danielle Steel will also be a guest
Thursday, Feb 25: A one hour show Themed “trying to have a baby?”Guests include Giuliana And Bill Rancic
Friday, Feb 26: Regis and Joy Philbin will perform a song from their new CD: Regis & Joy: Just you. Just me.

Started Watching The View in 1997, and now I’m a Brand Ambassador.

Seems like a lot of things now are dating me, I was in high school when I started watching The View. I loved it when it first came out because they had someone from every age group and the girl that was the youngest seem to think like I did. So it was nice seeing different voices talking about the same topic every day. Well, it’s still going and fun to watch.

I think one of my favorite episodes was when they were interviewing Harrison Ford, now maybe they have had him on more than once but I haven’t seen every episode. While I was in college I think I took quite a hiatus. Anyways, somehow the conversation went to what kind of underwear he wears. Well, it’s whitey tighties ladies and he seemed a bit embarrassed. So it’s conversation like this that keeps people glued into the view. Or at least it keeps me tuned in.

Thanks to Mom Central and ABC moms have been chosen to be The View Brand Ambassadors and I’m really excited to say that I’ve been chosen to write about it. I’m always looking for new content other than giveaways. But on that note, The View is currently having a sweepstakes where one lucky person will get a trip to New York City to set in the audience and watch a taping of the show. The trip will be all expenses paid and you can take a friend!! The sweepstakes is open until February 28, 2010. You can fill out the survey to enter here.
