Good afternoon, my e-friends! Can you believe June is almost over?
Orders are flowing in from our fan-tabulous Three Mommas Representatives and Hostesses...this is always one of my favorite times. I love seeing on paper what combinations you genius ladies have put together, then watching as it comes out an actual garment. As someone that has ABSOLUTELY no sewing skills, it always amazes me how talented (if I do say so myself) our Production Manager and staff are! Not to mention how talented all of you "designers" are as well!
We will take orders through the first week of September, and will have the updated calendar, Web site, album showing options, etc. live later this week. And don't forget, the Spring/Summer CLEARANCE will start later this week, with all items (except swimsuits) priced at least 50% off! Smocked suits will be $39, so stock up for next Spring/Summer!
Back to work...

I am issuing a challenge to each of you...
Did that get your attention? Are you feeling up to it? Are you the type of person that, when dared to do something - even if it is pointless and completely irrelevant to your life - MUST do it?
Were you the kid that tasted dirt because your sister thought you wouldn't? That turned the light off in the closet and counted "Bloody Mary 1, Bloody Mary 2, Bloody Mary 3..." even though you KNEW some ghostly hag was going to slap you in the face for daring to disturb her? The one that almost passed out at least twice a summer for trying to hold her breath longer than any of the other kids at the pool party?
If so - AWESOME. I am speaking to you specifically.
It is my goal to hit 400 Facebook fans by the Fourth. I am challenging anyone and everyone that reads this blog to click on the "Suggest to a Friend" link on the Three Mommas FB page and send it to at least 5 friends. Just think, the more people that become Fans, the more people that will see Three Mommas, and in turn, might send it to their friends, and so on and so forth....and ultimately, might end up at your show! Not to mention, there are benefits to being "in the know"...we post our sales, discount codes, pictures, etc. on the Blog and FB first!
Let's see if we can push the numbers from 370 to 400+!
While you are at it, don't forget that we are still booking shows. If you have a friend that doesn't have Three Mommas in her area, or that would like to do a show, contact us and receive a $50 show credit if she books a show. It is that simple! Specific areas we would like to fill this season include Prattville/Montgomery; Atlanta; Alpharetta; Valdosta; Charleston; Jacksonville; Dallas; Augusta; St. Simons; Richmond and more!

Some Things are Hard to Believe...
Things that are hard for me to believe this week:
1. We are back from our second beach trip in the last 3 weeks, and I am actually happy to be on a vacation from vacationing (does that make any sense?).
2. It is my 10th anniversary this Friday...yikes!
3. July is almost here...which means my birthday is almost here...32 (did I just admit to my age?).
4. We are in our third week of shows already!!
5. Our GIANT 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 Spring/Summer sale starts next week...cleaning out the warehouse!
Here are a few pictures from a recent photo shoot. By next week we will have pictures of the entire trunk, fabric options, inserts, etc. available online for everyone. For now, check out the "Photo Gallery" section of www.threemommas.com for more pictures!

Technology, How I Loathe Thee...
Okay, so that's sort of a strong statement. I mean, obviously, I really like technology...might even love technology...much of the time.
Wish technology felt the same way about me.
Some of you might recall that faithful day in February when I finally got my Blackberry. Oh, the joy I felt at being constantly connected to my email, never being required to open my computer to see what was going on with work or my friends. And then, you might recall that day in March when we accidentally ran over said Blackberry, and the misery that followed.
Insurance claim #1, Blackberry #2.
Then, last week...dropped the new Blackberry and the screen died.
Insurance claim #2, Blackberry #3.
I also have a Canon Rebel digital camera with all the lenses and other cool accessories...takes great pictures and I love, love, love it. Pulled it out to do pictures of the Fall/Winter line a couple of weeks ago. Won't power up. Sad, sad, sad.
I receive an Amazon Kindle for Christmas. It was backordered until March (you know Oprah and her Favorite Things) and the day I received it was a day I will never forget...And this weekend, the screen went out. Boo, hoo, hoo.
And now...my laptop. Thing goes crazy 2 weeks ago and apparently has about 42,753 viruses on it. I just dropped it off with the computer folks, and am using my dinosaur laptop. Might cost more to repair than a new computer.
Maybe I will get my Macintosh G4 cube fixed instead (oh yeah, that broke like 2 years ago).
Guess I am just feeling a little sorry for my tech-challenged self. Or, maybe the moral of the story is.....
Don't loan me your iPod??!!

A few pictures...
Just a few pictures of Fall/Winter items. We have some posted at the Three Mommas site, but just a sample. The entire collection will be posted by late June, and next week we will have more pictures of our little models in the clothing.

I'm Pulling My Hair Out...
Well, not really. But I am freaking out a little bit. I mean, we ship trunks this week. THIS WEEK?!! Did you hear me? Crazy, huh?
I will spare you all of the details. Sufficed to say, life has been a bit crazy the last week or so. You might not remember, but there were a few things I learned while preparing to ship the last trunk (that I shared with you all here)...well, I have learned a few more this go-around.
I am up late packing. Yes, packing. You heard me. I am actually going to be out of town...GASP...when the trunks ship. My brother-in-law, who is living the dream in Chicago, is at my in-laws' house till Wed., and the boys and I haven't seen him in close to a year, so to SC I go. Just typing this is making my palms sweaty and my heart race. If I don't end up driving back home just so I can watch them ship them out of the warehouse, it'll be a miracle.
Though, I do have to tell you, I have a little secret for dealing with stress. It is a short-term fix, and while temporary, it is a great remedy for a few minutes of sanity. Want to hear it? It is kind of a secret...shhhh...don't tell...
come closer...
that's it...
just two little words...
Billy Idol.
Who can be stressed out while jamming to "Mony, Mony" or "White Wedding?" I dare you, next time you think a full-blown anxiety attack is on the horizon, to crank up the volume to Mr. Idol and see if he doesn't wipe those blues away!! Though, I do not recommend doing it at 12:45 a.m....but if you do decide to have a late-night rendevous with him, wear headphones like yours truly. I am sure your visions of me dancing around my room packing my suitcase are amusing. I don't care. I'm dancing with myself :), and that's all that matters at the moment.
So now you know my secret. Don't tell anyone.
Psst...one more...want to see a few Fall/Winter pics? We are adding pictures to this album for the next 2 weeks, and then will have the kids' pics on the front page soon too, but here is where you can watch our progress for the time being...click here.
BTW, don't forget - we are still adding Spring/Summer stuff to the sale!
Goodnight!!

Anticipating Fall/Winter with our SPRING/SUMMER SALE!
I feel pulled in a million directions, and I am sure that none of my fellow mothers have ever experienced this, right? Ha, ha...I think we all feel like this from time to time, if not ALL of the time. Fall/Winter trunks ship next week (which just seems crazy :), school just got out, we have a couple of trips coming up...ARGH!! It is wonderful, but nuts all at the same time.
We are launching our Spring/Summer Liquidation sale today, and our FB and Blog friends are the first to know (well, technically, our Reps already had a day to shop...)! Let me explain how it works:
This sale will include ALL MERCHANDISE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE WEB SITE. The current price on all garments is at least 25% off (except the suits, which are a little less). Using the sale coupon, you will get an ADDITIONAL 30% off (so everything is around half-price). Also, spend $100 and receive FREE shipping!
We will be adding items almost daily this week and next, so be sure to check back often. However, do not wait to buy, because quantities are limited and once it is gone, it is gone! We are doing our best to see that the computer keeps up with the inventory correctly, but if something you purchase is sold out we will notify you immediately.
To take advantage of the sale, use SSSALE09 on checkout.
Don't forget that we are STILL booking shows for Fall/Winter...
