iVillage Sweepstakes Helps Moms Achieve Work Life Balance

Being a working mother has its challenges. There’s an understatement for you! Luckily for me and many other working moms, we don’t have to face those challenges alone. We have help, albeit in varying degrees. I’m very fortunate to not only be married to an extremely supportive husband, but one who thoroughly believes paying a house cleaner is not a luxury, but a necessity. I’m also very lucky to have two older daughters that help out by doing household chores and watching their baby sister.

What I didn’t realize though was that my hubby, daughters and house cleaner, made up my momtourage. According to iVillage:

Every woman needs a momtourage—the people, organizations and businesses in her life that provide her with support, help her get things done, and allow her to be the best mom she can be.

Not only does iVillage recognize the importance of a momtourage, they are having a sweepstakes to award moms and their momtourage with prizes to help them achieve work life balance. I’m so entering this sweepstakes because not a day goes by that I don’t wish I had a personal chef!!! Plus, the three Grand Prize Winners will also receive a special dinner, prepared by a contestant from Bravo’s Top Chef. The Grand Prize Winners’ momtourage members also each receive a $500 spa gift certificate. Does iVillage know moms or what!

While it takes more to enter this sweepstakes than the ones I do on Momsational, the prizes are worth the effort to me. Here are the questions you have to answer to enter the sweepstakes.

* Who is in your momtourage?

* How has your momtourage made a difference in your daily routine or rescued you from a sticky situation?

* Tell us your creative solution to a common cleaning dilemma.

* What’s your best childcare tip for the back-to-school season?

* Do you have any tips for getting picky eaters to eat? How about suggestions for brown-bag lunches or after-school snacks? Let us know your meal-time tricks.

* How does your momtourage help you get through the back-to-school season?

* How do you save money during back-to-school time?

So give these questions some thought and enter to win this amazing work life balance sweepstakes at www.momtourage.com by August 1, 2008. Good luck!
